Consumer complaint received 2022-10-10 00:00:00
Product: Credit card or prepaid card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Trouble using your card — Can't use card to make purchases
Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/2022 I was approved by Chase for XXXX XXXX  credit card. I had received the card and gone to a big box retailer on the XXXX to make a large purchase of around {$1600.00}. Chase repeatedly denied the purchase despite falling well within my limit. I called customer service and spend a combined 40 minutes on the phone wile standing in line being passed around to multiple reps each failing to correct the issue. I was told to continue swiping the card and using contactless pay. Each to no avail. My time was being wasted, I was getting embarrassed at the prying eyes. I reached a supervisor who told me the issue should be resolved but it wasn't. I was unable to use my card to make a purchase. I had to use another form of payment and then cancel this card as it was unusable. I am upset about the hard inquiry to my credit dropping it for an unusable card and what I perceive to be an unreasonable wait time to have chase help me. Hence the complaint. I wish for the hard inquiry to cease to exist and hurt my chances of getting another card to replace the malfunct chase card.

Company: Flatonia Investments, LLC

Complaint narrative:
This complaint is more of a identity theft. In XXXX of XXXX Envoy Mortgage began collecting on a mortgage debt account number XXXX. In XXXX of XXXX I received a letter from Envoy Mortgage that the mortgage was being transferred to XXXX XXXX and a new account XXXX was open in my name. In XXXX of XXXX I received another letter from Envoy Mortgage stating that a new account was being open with XXXX XXXX XXXX. No authorization was given for Envoy Mortgage to open these accounts, and is identity theft. Each of these mortgages that I have been demanded to pay have been for almost {>= $1,000,000}. Each account has been reported to credit reports and effects my credit by showing that my mortgage exchanges hands often and does not show the total length of payment. By not showing the true length of the trade line Envoy is not reporting accurate information to the Credit Agencies. I have filed this complaint with the FDC.

Company: Avant Holding Company, Inc.
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
I recently acquired a new credit card from Avant issued through XXXX. I made the first payment ( XX/XX/XXXX ) via the Avant app without issue. On the second month, I tried to make a payment online via the Avant website of {$200.00}. Upon receiving the email confirmation of the scheduled payment for the same day, the payment amount was incorrect. It showed a pending payment for the full amount of {$850.00}. I immediately called customer service to advise of the incorrect payment showing in the system. The representative advised due to payment being the same day, they were unable to cancel the payment and and that I had to call my bank to stop the incorrect payment. 

I called XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and was advised they would try to stop the pending payment ; however, it was not a guarantee that they could stop it as it wasn't showing in their system yet and not sure of how Avant would submit to the bank. The {$850.00} payment in XXXX was not stopped and cleared the bank and posted to my Avant account. I was not happy but it was paid. In XXXX, I tried to again make a payment by the due date of the full amount due - {$1900.00} on XXXX. I was advised by XXXX XXXX on XXXX that this payment was now stopped due to the previous request of stop payment. I was not aware of a XXXX  day timeframe even if they were not able to stop the payment. XXXX XXXX removed the request and advised they were not able to rerun the payment, that I needed to call Avant and ask to have the payment rerun. I called on XXXX and spoke with several representatives to try to get the payment rerun, they forwarded me to their payment center and I was advised that they could not rerun the payment as the {$1900.00} was showing posted in their system and would not allow for another payment as the total balance was cleared. I repeatedly advised that I did not want to have the payment show as a late fee due to the system issues but the representative advised that the payment showed paid before the due date of XXXX and should not be any issues. I received notification from Avant on XXXX that the payment returned and I needed to make another payment. I paid another payment on XXXX and Avant updated the payment again, charged a {$28.00} late fee and refused to waive the late fee even though I tried to make the payment in good faith before the due date. I submitted a late fee waiver and was declined. This company will not have any supervisors call back or answer a call and will only advise to email their card resolution department.
