Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Fees or interest — Problem with fees
Company: Avant Holding Company, Inc.
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
For the past XXXX months ( XXXX, XXXX and XXXX of 2024 ) I have attempted in good faith to update my banking information for autopay with Avant. Each time I am told I have to wait another billing cycle before I can update any information -- regardless of whether or not a payment is due. It's a straight forward scam. Customer makes a couple of attempts - fails, gets busy, auto pay bounces on old bank account and late fees pile up. The XXXX 's simply stall and come up with all sorts of excuses when I call to update my banking information. The website has a hard stop for autopay updates and repeats the same message ( see attached ). This is regardless of whether or not a payment is due. 

I can no longer service this debt. The late fees have made it impossible now. I understand this is my decision, and they will report me late to the major repositories. It has always been a struggle with Avant, but now it has become untenable - financially. They refuse to allow me to make timely payments -- bottom line.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: AL

Complaint narrative:
" I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding unauthorized accounts that persist on my credit report despite my repeated efforts to have them removed. These accounts are causing significant damage to my financial reputation and overall well-being. It is evident that the inclusion of these fraudulent items violates 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes, as the credit bureaus have no legitimate reason to report them without my explicit consent. Please refer to the attached file detailing these items I am disputing. 
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 my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. ''

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally complain about the actions of Jefferson Capital System concerning an alleged debt they claim I owe. Despite multiple requests for validation, Jefferson Capital System has failed to provide the necessary information as required by 12 CFR 1006.34 ( b ) ( 5 ). Moreover, they have improperly placed a collection entry on my credit report without adhering to the required procedures. I am particularly concerned about the following violations : Failure to Validate Debt : Jefferson Capital System has not provided validation of the debt as required by law, which includes details about the original creditor and account number. Failure to Afford Dispute Opportunity : I have not been given the opportunity to dispute the account as mandated by 12 CFR 1006.34 ( c ) ( 4 ) ( i ). Violation of Reporting Requirements : They have reported this debt to consumer reporting agencies without fulfilling their disclosure obligations under 12 CFR 1006.34 ( d ) and 15 USC 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 7 ) ( A ). I am requesting that you take the following actions : Immediate Removal of the Collection Entry : Ensure that the incorrect collection entry by Jefferson Capital System is removed from my credit report. Cease All Communications : Direct Jefferson Capital System to cease all forms of communication with me, including email, text messages, and phone calls, as I am exercising my rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) to revoke these methods of communication. Provide Proof of Compliance : Require Jefferson Capital System to provide : Validation of the debt, including details of the original creditor, account number, and supporting documentation. The purchase agreement with XXXX XXXX XXXX and any related documentation showing that Jefferson Capital System had the authority to report this debt. Proof of licensing and bonding to operate as a debt collector. A certified mail receipt proving that I received proper notification regarding this debt. I did not receive the necessary communication or validation and dispute opportunities, so it is crucial that this collection entry be promptly removed from my credit report. Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. I trust that you will ensure this complaint is addressed promptly and that appropriate actions are taken to rectify these violations.
