Company: CARVANT FINANCIAL LLC
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I recently reviewed my consumer report and seen that CARVANT FINANCIAL LLC are reporting inaccurate information on my consumer report. They are communicating with me about an alleged debt for {$15000.00} to my consumer report. This alleged debt is unverified and I am demanding pursuant to 15 usc 1692g ( b ) that you obtain verification from the original creditor of the debt or a copy of a judgment, or the name and address of the original creditor and a copy of such verification or judgment, or name and address of the original. As the consumer and creditor of this transaction 15 usc 1692a ( 3 ) ( 4 ), I am demanding that CARVANT FINANCIAL LLC terminate all collection efforts. CARVANT FINANCIAL LLC is defaming my character and ruining my reputation by misrepresenting that I ( the creditor of this transaction ) owe an alleged debt. Fact, creditor means pursuant to the FAIR DEBT COLLECTION PRACTICES ACT any person who offers or extends credit creating a debt or to whom a debt is owed, but such term does not include any person to the extent that he receives an assignment or transfer of a debt in default solely for the purpose of facilitating collection of such debt for another. Fact, CARVANT FINANCIAL LLC does not have credit to offer or extend ( 15 usc 1601 The Congress finds that economic stabilization would be enhanced and the competition among the various financial institutions and other firms engaged in the extension of consumer credit would be strengthened by the informed use of credit ) and has received an assignment from the dealership which means they are a debt collector.
