Issue: Getting a credit card — Application denied
Company: Avant Holding Company, Inc.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
Applied for credit card on XXXX, from Avant ( avant.com ), which was advertised in my XXXX account. I was approved immediately for a {$300.00} Avant credit card. I was then directed to complete a profile and login for their website Avant.com. I completed my profile with my contact info, address, email and successfully completed the email verification. However, the web site was unable to send me a text message for verification. This was a required step. I was never able to complete this step and yesterday XX/XX/year>, I learned that my application was cancelled. I tried to resolve the issue prior to learning my application was cancelled ( yesterday ) in numerous ways : By calling their support ; By speaking with a support person who said she would call me back ( who never did call me back ) ; And by emailing the support email provided in my online account ( XXXX ). In fact, I emailed the Avant support team more than 5 times, each time requesting their assistance with the verification text. Avant support replied with " Please contact us at your earliest convenience. You can reach us at XXXX and any of our representatives will be happy to assist you. '' Please see emails attached. Many times I was provided with a canned reply, in that it did not address my concerns or questions in any way. The problem is that even when I have called and emailed I was unable to complete the simple verification step. I have no problems getting verification texts from other companies ( XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, my bank ) and I believe this entire process has caused me harm. By pulling my credit, gaining access to my personal information ( personal data ), Avant acted fraudulently because they never intended to give me a credit card. The fact that I was unable to complete the verification step on the phone with the Avant reps or via 5 emails with their support team raises serious red flags about the integrity of this business. The website does not work, and their support staff was unable to get me verified. Very fishy, unprofessional and dark ages tech. They cancelled my application because I " did not complete the application process '' due to the text verification, yet no one at Avant was able to help me or to address their website problems.

Complaint narrative:
My account with Experian was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX XXXX and all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment.

This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family!

I demand the late payment reported to be removed.

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law!

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date.

Experian Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided.

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer!

Delete the late payments from my consumer reports
