Company: Avant Holding Company, Inc.
State: NC
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Getting a credit card
Sub-issue: Problem getting a working replacement card

Complaint:
Hello, My name is XXXX XXXX! I am writing yet again with another complaint against this Fraudulent company. I applied for a card at the end of XX/XX/2021. I was approved for an account and told that a new card would be mailed out. At the end of XXXX after not receiving the card, I started receiving notices about an Annual fee being charged, although I had not yet received the card or activated the card. 
I called their overseas customer service department and was told that a replacement card would be sent out. 
It is now XX/XX/2021, almost one and a half months since the opening of the account- without a card in hand. And I have a fee that is due as of XX/XX/2021. 
I have verified my address and have had no mailed delivery issues since the opening of the account. 
I receive daily mail notifications from the USPS via email, which identifies the day 's mail that will be arriving - every day. And so far there has not been one piece of scanned mail through the postal system from Avant! 
This is unacceptable. 

Customer service has yet again told me that since I have not received the card or activated it that I would not be responsible for the annual fee. We know that is a lie because the due date has not changed or the fee has not been zeroed out! 
I am requesting that the placement card be issued next day delivery via XXXX or XXXX. 
I am also going to file with the IL AG office and the CFPB. 
I expect to receive a phone call from the Avant Corporate office, with a plan for resolution, as soon as this complaint is received! 

-- Thank you, XXXX XXXX XXXX

Issue: Managing an account
Sub-issue: Deposits and withdrawals

Complaint:
Deposited a personal check ( issuing bank XXXX ) for {$1600.00} from selling my vehicle on XX/XX/XXXX in my Bank of America Checking Account. Deposited check in branch ATM and AFTER transaction, I was informed that there would be a deposit hold until XX/XX/XXXX - called Bank of America immediately and asked if this was correct and if I can have my check back because I can not have my funds held that long. I am very upset because proper notice was not given to me that my funds would be held hostage for over 2 weeks. 

They told me I can not have my check back and I was informed that zero availability of the check would be available and had to wait. I asked to retrieve my check from branch staff on the next business day so I could deposit it into my XXXX account and was told that it can not be done. I explained my hardship that I need this money and can not wait until the XXXX and they refused to help me. I called 4x since the XXXX and was told different information about the exact date my funds would be available and then the final call was told that they will absolutely not release the funds any sooner than XX/XX/XXXX. I am so distraught and suffering that I am being treated this way. BOA is holding my money XXXX, school is about the start for my XXXX kids and I need my money released.

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Complaint:
TransUnion Ive contacted the above credit bureau on several occasions over a 2 years period, explaining to them that Im a victim of Identity theft. Also, I provided them several copies of the police report and they have not complied in removing any of the negative information on my report. I explained that the collections account that is being reported is incorrect. Ive also reached out to an XXXX XXXX XXXX   manager about the negative information thats being reported on my credit report. She reviewed the account and realized that I paid the account off in full and it was XXXX XXXX XXXX that owed me {$6.00}, in which they sent me a check. However, when I requested they send me a copy of the information, so I can prove it to the credit bureau. They stated that the account was closed and that they are unable to provide me a copy of the information to send to the credit bureau, but they will remove it. Which they never did. 
I have explained the later payment to XXXX XXXX  and the credit bureau was due to fraud and identity theft. I have spoken to XXXX XXXX  and they stated they will remove it, yet its still there. I explained to the credit bureau that the DMV has informed me that there are 2 other individuals in XXXX Florida that has a copy of my Driver License. I have requested a copy of the information from DMV so that I can provide it to the bureaus, and I was told that it is against the law for them to provide me a copy of the information and all they can do is inform me of the issue. However, they stated that the bureau can request a copy of the information and they will send it to them directly. Yet, even after finding that out that information, the bureau still refused to request a copy and continue to retain the information on my report. 
Ive also explained to the bureau that the information amount on the student loans is also incorrect and to this day, nothing is being done about it. I have been working with them for about 2 years with no result. They keep sending me back the same information repetitively without any removal. Stop having companies change my address in your system and asking me to prove my address
