Issue: Problem when making payments — Problem during payment process
Company: Avant Holding Company, Inc.
State: MN

Complaint narrative:
I recently signed up for the Avant XXXX XXXX. Shortly after I got the card activated I used it just days later on XX/XX/XXXX. I charged a total of just over XXXX dollars on the card. Days after that I went to the credit card website to make a payment only to find that the website was down. So I checked the website again the next day and it was still down. The next day or so after that the website was still down, so I called the number on the back of the card to talk to a rep. They said the system was down so I could not make a payment on the phone, so was told to try downloading the app and make a payment on the app. I could not get the app to work to where I could make a payment. Then I called the phone number again only to be told the system is still down and I now can't make a payment on the app, website, and/or by phone. So no feasible way for me to make a payment over any outlet. Customer support was terrible too and would just put me on hold and ultimately not do anything. I called them 3 times today to no avail.

Issue: Fees or interest — Problem with fees
Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I called Chase Credit Cards on XX/XX/XXXX to obtain the statement balance on my CC so I could pay that amount to avoid interest charges. Per my online account, the payment was actually due on XX/XX/XXXX to avoid interest, but the online service did not provide me what the balance is. For context, I recently took advantage of a balance transfer offer of $ XXXX, which was interest free until XX/XX/XXXX. The fee for the transfer was {$500.00}, so a total of {$10000.00} was processed. I asked the representative what the statement balance was as of XX/XX/XXXX ( minus the balance transfer total ) so I could pay that remaining balance to avoid fees. I believe the rep was not understanding the question so I requested to be transferred to a rep in the U.S. I then was given XXXX in the U.S. I posed the same question to her and she initially stated that we ( she's been speaking with my wife, XXXX who is authorized ) would have to pay the full balance including the balance transfer amount or interest would be charged. We contested this and she then retracted and stated she could not provide us the statement amount for the time period requested, which was XX/XX/XXXX - XX/XX/XXXX. I asked her how is it possible they're not able to provide this amount and that as a consumer, we should be able to obtain that amount so we can pay it to avoid interest. I then requested to speak with her supervisor and she stated supervisor do not take calls and she would be the last line for a call to be taken. The agent then stated she couldn't give that amount and asked if there was anything else ( attempting to promptly end the call ). I told her again that if a consumer is not able to obtain the amount needed to be paid to avoid interest charges, this is poor practice by the financial institution. She apologized and disconnected the call.

Complaint narrative:
I am reaching out to address discrepancies I have discovered in my personal credit report. These inaccuracies are adversely affecting my financial status. While I acknowledge the possibility of errors, I am well-versed in the dispute resolution process and understand that investigations typically take thirty days. 

I wish to highlight the following errors : XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 

I am willing to give you one final opportunity to process my request regarding my identity theft. Failure to do so will leave me with no choice but to seek legal recourse in the courtroom, where you will be held responsible for the damage inflicted upon my reputation, credit, and emotional well-being as a result of this issue. It is highly likely that the significance of the material facts will become abundantly clear, and you will be required to compensate me for your negligence.

Complaint narrative:
A dispute letter was sent to XXXX regarding the accounts with XXXX XXXX. XXXX is reporting inaccurate and misleading information on my credit file. The accounts with XXXX XXXX are in collection, yet the accounts are reporting as open on my consumer report. There were collection offers sent regarding both accounts. I sent a dispute letter to XXXX and I also provided copies of the offers from XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX responded by stating that they will not take any action on my alleged request because it does not appear to have been sent directly by me or to be authorized by me. Transunion is also reporting inaccurate information regarding the accounts with XXXX XXXX.

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/XXXX, a fraudulent account was opened with XXXX XXXX XXXX without my knowledge or consent. This unauthorized activity was first discovered by me in XX/XX/XXXX during a mortgage application. The account pertained to an auto lease valued at {$79000.00}, and it subsequently appeared on my credit report, negatively impacting my credit score and financial standing. 

Upon discovering the fraudulent activity, I immediately took proactive steps to address the issue : Filed an FTC Identity Theft Report : In XX/XX/XXXX, I filed an official report with the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) to document the identity theft, indicating that the information used to open the account was obtained and used without my authorization. 
Notified the Credit Bureaus : I alerted the major credit bureaus, including XXXX, XXXX, and Equifax, requesting the removal of the unauthorized inquiry and account from my credit reports to correct the inaccuracies stemming from this identity theft. 

These actions were taken to mitigate the damage caused by this incident and to prevent further misuse of my personal information. I am seeking the immediate removal of this fraudulent account from all records and assurance that measures are put in place to protect against future incidents of identity theft. 

The accounts and inquries that are the result of fraud are below ; Account : XXXX XXXX XXXX {$51000.00} Balance updated XX/XX/XXXX Original balance {$79000.00} Account info Account number XXXX Open/closed Open Date opened XX/XX/XXXX Inquiries : XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX Removal date : XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Inquiry date : XX/XX/XXXX Removal date : XX/XX/XXXX CXXXX XXXX Inquiry date : XX/XX/XXXX Removal date : XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  Inquiry date : XXXX XXXX, XXXX Removal date : XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Inquiry date : XX/XX/XXXX Removal date : XX/XX/XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX Inquiry date : XX/XX/XXXX Removal date : XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX Inquiry date : XX/XX/XXXX Removal date : XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX Inquiry date : XX/XX/XXXX Removal date : XX/XX/XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX Inquiry date : XX/XX/XXXX Removal date : XX/XX/XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX Inquiry date : XX/XX/XXXX Removal date : XX/XX/XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX Inquiry date : XX/XX/XXXX Removal date : XX/XX/XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX Inquiry date : XX/XX/XXXX Removal date : XX/XX/XXXX XXXX & XXXX XXXX Inquiry date : XX/XX/XXXX Removal date : XX/XX/XXXX XXXX
