Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: TRANSWORLD SYSTEMS INC
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
I reached out on Monday, XX/XX/XXXX to UAS to correct my enrollment and loan status. It is Friday, XX/XX/XXXX. I am currently enrolled full time in a graduate program and have been consecutively since XXXX XXXX ( and prior to the Fall XXXX semester, I was enrolled consecutively from XX/XX/XXXX to XXXX XXXX ). I have been receiving emails imploring me to complete exit interviews for a loan for the last several months. I am enrolled full time and provided the enrollment verification form upon request, via email, on XX/XX/XXXX. Several days afterwards my credit score dropped significantly ; upon providing proof of my enrollment my status should have immediately been put on deferral until it was verified by an account specialist. 

At the time of writing this complaint, after reaching out to UAS multiple times, via email and phone, I presently still owe a payment on their portal. My status has not been adequately adjusted to reflect my enrollment, it has had a significant impact on my credit score, and it will continue to affect me. When I reached out by phone I was not given any time frame as to when my status would be corrected. have already provided proof of my enrollment and would be happy to provide any other supporting evidence. If they need further information from the school, UAS needs to contact the appropriate people/offices and do so, in a timely manner. I have never had any issue or difficulty getting someone to verify me enrollment status. And I will no longer wait idly while UAS 's incompetence continues to affect my credit.

Company: Avant Holding Company, Inc.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
To : AVANT XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, Illinois XXXX Re : Explanation request and APPEAL dispute findings Dear Sir or Madam, I am writing this letter to have fraudulent charges removed off my credit card. The credit card advertises ZERO Fraud liability and should follow the Fair Credit Billing Act for customers as myself that are victims of fraud and theft. I received a letter that you have completed your investigation and found that the transactions is/are authorized and valid dated XX/XX/2022 the same day you placed charges of {$680.00}. 

I informed your company Fraud management services- of all that occurred and the steps I had taken. I will report again what has occurred and the steps taken. Respectfully, at this point I am requesting a supervisor or management to handle my request. 

My purse was stolen on XX/XX/2022, my AVANT credit card was in my purse and used fraudulently WITHOUT MY PERMISSION. The merchant at XXXX should have followed theft/fraud safeguards and requested identification from the person using my credit card and compared signatures for the two purchases : {$200.00} and {$480.00} which was not done! The charges were reversed on XX/XX/2022 and re-applied XX/XX/2022. 

Steps taken : -Police called and incident reported ( provided to fraud management services ) -Spoke with Detectives and was informed they do not give police reports to civilians. The credit card company can call them, and they can inform them what is in the report to confirm @ AVANT request ( YES, AVANT credit card is listed in the report ). This was not done to assist in my fraud dispute. I was willing to do a three way so I can be on the line and so all parties are in the loop. 
-Contact Assistant District Attorney to get the confirmation and take those charges off my credit card. 
-A request with the XXXX  unit at XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX was requested, -there is no date or timeframe for receipt. 

-- -- -Original Message -- -- - Subject : XXXX Online Verification Request Confirmation XXXX  Thank you for your online verification request XXXX Complaint Number : XXXX DOF Form Number : Transaction Date : Thank you for your order. This e-mail will serve as confirmation that your online verification request was received. Please do not reply to this e-mail. 

Please keep this for your records. 


I had no charges on my card and now am expected to pay for fraud and theft charges that I did not make - AGAIN- I need for those charges to be taken off my credit card. I expect a thorough re-investigation to my fraud dispute, outreach and investigation into this matter and removal of the charges from my credit card.
