Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. " I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive enough information to verify debt
Company: Portfolio Recovery Associates, LLC
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
Re : CFPB Complaint XXXX Portfolio Recovery Associates response does not resolve this complaint. 
They stated that the only non-monetary relief provided was ceasing communication. 
This does not address the core issue : The debt has not been validated. 

Ceasing communication is required under the FDCPA when requested and is not validation. 
They are still furnishing this account to the credit bureaus, and they have not provided : XXXX. The original signed contract bearing my signature. 
XXXX. The full chain of title showing transfer from XXXX to PRA. 
XXXX. The purchase agreement specifically showing my account. 
XXXX. Proof the account was not previously charged off and canceled ( 1099-C/1099-B status ). 

PRA is relying solely on its own internal records, which is verification, not validation, and does not meet the requirements of : FDCPA 1692g ( b ) ( validation upon dispute ) FCRA 1681s-2 ( b ) ( duty to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation ) Their refusal to conduct a new investigation because they claim it is substantially the same is a violation, because I have disputed ownership and authorization, which requires full validation, not repetition of internal data.

Issue: Getting a credit card — Problem getting a working replacement card
Company: Avant Holding Company, Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I applied for a XXXX/Avant credit card around XX/XX/year>. Avant/XXXX is reporting this credit card as an open account on my credit reports. I have never received the card. 

I have called numerous times. Each time I am told to upload proof of address. Each time, representatives confirm they received my documents and state that a card has been mailed. No card has ever arrived. When I follow up, they again tell me to upload proof of address and repeat the same script. 

Avant is furnishing this tradeline while failing to complete proper verification or provide the product. They have not provided tracking, proof of delivery, or a supervisor resolution, and I can not use this account they are reporting. This creates incomplete/inaccurate reporting and impacts my ability to obtain credit, including through Avant for personal loan, even though my credit score is above XXXX and I have no derogatory items.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, I logged into my Capital One Auto Finance account and saw a offer for a settlement. The offer was to forgive 85 % of the remaining balance ; a payment of {$270.00} was required, and the remaining balance of {$15000.00} would be forgiven. I clicked the button to make a one-time payment of the full {$270.00}. The system instructed that it could not process the payment, and I had to call in. I called to make the payment, and the agent informed me that the system was incorrect and that they would not offer me that amount, refusing to assist me with the settlement. I insisted on being transferred to a supervisor and said it was, in fact, correct and offered to email a screenshot of the offer. I emailed the screenshot to XXXX. I logged in and out of the system several times, and the offer was still there. 

I feel that this is very deceptive on Capital One 's Part ; they refused to take the payment and refused to secure the car from repossession. I was told I would have to wait 3-5 business days for the office of the president to contact me, I was forced to pay a larger amount to secure the vehicle, and I don't feel that is fair or right. I should have been able to accept what was offered to me, not tricked or forced to pay a larger amount.
