Company: Avant Credit Corporation (CT)

As stated in prior complaints against Avant Credit/XXXX   the terms of loan were not disclosed at time of approval including interest rate. Several payments were made and have ceased when contract was emailed to me showing rate, which I dispute and have been disputing for several years now. Avant claims I selected the loan amount as well as terms which is not correct, the amount, {$6800.00} was the only amount offered and no terms such as interest rate were selected either. The last payment was made in 2015, Avant has been reporting the account 180 days past due when last payment was made well over 180 days, this is an attempt to get me to pay the loan and also harm my credit score. The bank claims to have screen shots showing the rate/terms, none of which they have shown or proven. Additionally, the application was done electronically and nothing signed, my signature is not on any documents showing I agreed to any terms. Having said that and the fact we are not able to resolve the issue, I request Avant to close the account and send it to collections, I will work with whichever collection agency they refer account to

My account with these company was never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH XXXX  XXXX and all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment. 

This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family! 

I demand the late payment reported in MONTHS REPORTING LATE to be removed. 

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law!

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date.

This company never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ). 

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided. 

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer!

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Was not notified of investigation status or results
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (FL)

I am writing to formally dispute a late payment entry that has appeared on my credit report. The report indicates a late payment in my credit report, which I strongly believe is erroneous and not verified. Throughout my financial history with the financial agencies I am doing business with, I have consistently met all payment deadlines without fail. Therefore, the presence of this late payment is undoubtedly a result of a billing error on the part of the creditor. I request a thorough investigation into this matter to verify the accuracy of the reported late payment and urge for its prompt correction. It is imperative that such inaccuracies are rectified swiftly, as they impact my financial standing and credibility. I have contacted the financial agencies in the last more than 30 days to seek clarification but I got no response because this is erroneously reported for they have provided NO PROOF that there was a REAL late payment. Your immediate attention to this matter is greatly appreciated.

I requested record of payments, purchase contract to compare payments. At this time, I was working with XXXX ( a representative ) who stated that I would have to send in a letter for reversal.

On XX/XX/2019, I submitted complaint number XXXX to the CFPB. In the last 6 months, I've sent 2 letters ( certified mail ) to Receivables Performance asking for debt validation for a debt they're claiming that I owe. This account is NOT mine, and I requested validation twice. They have not sent me ANYTHING back. The debt collector replied to complaint number XXXX and in their reply, Receivables Performance said this - " RPMs business records indicate a prior validation request as well as the documents being received from XXXX. It is unclear if the documents were sent to the consumer ''. They admitted they don't know if they actually ever sent anything to me. This is a violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and they need to remove the account from my credit reports immediately. They said in their reply that they would cease further attempts to collect on the debt, but they are continuing to report this erroneous account on my credit reports. This account is NOT mine and the debt collector NEVER sent me anything when asked to validate the account, and they admit they have no proof they ever sent me anything. I demand that they remove this account from my credit reports.
