Consumer complaint received 2022-10-11 00:00:00
Product: Debt collection — Other debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: CL Holdings LLC
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX has been attempting to collect a debt, for which I claim no liability associated, regarding an account from XXXX XXXX where the last payment made was before XX/XX/XXXX. Official correspondence from XXXX XXXX shows that the number I had held previously with them was likely sold to another customer based on a collection attempt from XX/XX/XXXX. The final collection attempt from XXXX XXXX was on XX/XX/XXXX. 

My most recent credit reports show that Jefferson Capital has reported the start date of the debt as XX/XX/XXXX which is incorrect. 

Based on the Arizona statute of limitations, this alleged debt would have expired six years after the final payment ; either on or before XX/XX/XXXX. It has also been over seven years since XX/XX/XXXX. As such, I am requesting that XXXX XXXX XXXX stop their collection attempts and remove the previously aforementioned collection from each of the credit reporting bureaus ' records.

Company: Avant Holding Company, Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I had a personal loan through the company Avant which has been paid in full for over a year. The company constantly sends emails saying to to reapply and it will not affect your credit. One day I clicked on the link to re-apply for a new loan, just to help pay ahead or pay down bills since inflation. It auto-entered my information as well. They never call me about the loan or anything, they just closed the application after a few days. Then I see it on my credit report as a hard inquiry when I had many emails saying it wont affect my credit.

Complaint narrative:
I had a payment agreement with XXXX. XXXX never appeared on my credit report. When CareCredit was purchased by Synchrony Financial, they went back and retro-dated numerous late payments, including 30,60 and 90 day payments. They stated that even though I had a payment agreement in place with them, that it was not enough to cover the minimum payments.

One credit reporting agency reduced this to two late payments on my report, however all three reporting agencies still have these late payments on my credit report.
