Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was already discharged in bankruptcy and is no longer owed
Company: Avant Holding Company, Inc. (FL)

I am writing to you regarding account number XXXX, which is associated with my name, XXXX XXXX. It has come to my attention that Avant has been reporting this account to the credit bureaus as if it were an open account, despite it being charged off. I would like to bring to your attention that this practice is in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

According to the FCRA, charged-off accounts should be reported as such, and they should not be depicted as open accounts. This misreporting can have significant adverse effects on my credit score and financial standing. Furthermore, I have not been provided with proper documentation associated with this charge-off, which raises concerns about the accuracy and legality of the reported information. 

Additionally, I would like to address the issue of documentation related to the charged-off amount. As per my understanding of IRS regulations, creditors are required to issue a Form 1099-C to debtors when an amount is charged off. However, I have not received any such form from Avant, which could potentially lead to complications regarding tax compliance and reporting.

I have been consistantly enrolled in a qualified university full time since XXXX. I took a XXXX withdraw halfway through the XXXX fall semester, however, I was still considered " enrolled '' full time for that semester. ( Please see attached enrollment form ). I called NelNet on XX/XX/XXXX. ( Please see attached screenshot of phone log ). I informed them, on a recorded call, that they had erroneously started to charge me payments because I am enrolled full-time, and my payments should be deferred. I asked them if they wanted me to send in the enrollment verification attached hereto, and the representative stated that it was " not necessary '' because they would have the information from the school and that the issue would be taken care of. They are still charging me payments, and are saying that XXXX payment is " passed due. '' ( Please see attached snippet of my account ). I have NEVER had a missed or late payment on my credit report. They have not fixed this, and are fraudulently stating that my payment is passed due. This will cause a ( fraudulent ) negative impact on my credit score.

Company: Conn's, Inc. (LA)

In XXXX I went with my girlfriend to Conn 's to buy 3 items and have them delivered to our new address. I had recieved a letter in the mail and decided to go with Conn 's since they had reached out to me and guaranteed my credit approval. When we got there were greeted by XXXX XXXX and we looked around. There were signs all over the store saying if you bought three Matching brand items you would recieve a 10 % discount. I picked up three matching brand items even going for a more expensive item so I could recieve the 10 % discount. I was told to sit and wait which I did. After 30 minutes I was told I was not approved and would have to go through another company. I told them I had a pre approval letter and an hour later the manager approved it. I sat down and waited another 30 minutes and had other customers go ahead of me. I finally stood at the counter to see what was going on and the manager assistant came up to the front desk and told me to sign at the bottom of an ipad and I could go and when I asked what I was signing I was told I would recieve an email stating everything. So since at this time it was XXXX and I have spent my evening there I signed the bottom. I was not given any paper documents until 3 weeks later in the mail i receieved a payment book with an outrageous amount. Thinking that was because they were charging interest after the two year aggreement I called and was hung up on 5 times! I set the bill up an auto pay and aggreed to the monthly payment until I could get the billing sorted out and not have it show on my credit poorly. When the first payment came due and they were to auto draft ONE monthly payment they withdrew the whole balance of {$3800.00} with all of the interest. When I call them they give me the run around and tell me that they are trying to process my request. They withdrew from my bank account causing me to have money issues since I recently had also lost my job. Conn 's uses deceptive sale tactics and has taken more money from me then I owed. They told me on XX/XX/XXXX I would receive my refund with in 30 days in the mail. When I called back on XX/XX/XXXX to check the status of my refundI was told it had only been 12 business days and they would need more time to even approve it.
