Consumer Narrative
Subject : Avant Failed to Honor Payment Plan Agreement, Damaged Credit, and Violated Multiple Consumer Protection Laws Company : Avant , LLC Account Number ( last XXXX digits ) : XXXX Your Name : XXXX XXXX Address : XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, VA XXXX Email : XXXX Phone : ( XXXX ) XXXX I am filing this complaint because Avant , LLC has failed to honor a written payment plan agreement, refused to provide documentation upon request, and as a result has caused serious damage to my credit report while violating multiple federal and state consumer protection laws. In XX/XX/XXXX, I entered into a formal payment arrangement with Avant allowing me to pay $ XXXX through XX/XX/XXXX. I have made every payment under this plan in good faith. However, during a recent call, a representative informed me that I had been removed from the planwithout any notice, documentation, or justification. The representative also refused to provide a copy of the original agreement. Since Avant continues to accept my {$70.00} payments but is not honoring the agreement or correcting the credit reporting, I believe they are in violation of the following laws : Violations : Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) 15 U.S.C. 1666 No written notice of changes to billing/payment plan. Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) 15 U.S.C. 1601 No updated disclosure of repayment terms or plan cancellation. Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) 15 U.S.C. 1692g ( if a third-party servicer is involved ) Refusal to validate the agreement and provide supporting documents. Consumer Financial Protection Act ( Title X, Dodd-Frank ) 12 U.S.C. 5531 Unfair, deceptive, or abusive acts or practices ( UDAAP ) by canceling a valid plan without cause or notice. Electronic Fund Transfer Act ( EFTA ) 15 U.S.C. 1693e If payments were auto-drafted, Avant failed to notify me of changes in recurring terms. Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) Reporting false or inaccurate information to credit bureaus due to Avant 's failure to follow the agreement. Virginia Consumer Protection Act Va. Code 59.1-196 et seq. Engaging in deceptive business practices and refusing to honor a valid consumer agreement. I am requesting that Avant : Immediately reinstate the original $ XXXX plan through XX/XX/XXXX Provide a copy of the original repayment agreement from XX/XX/XXXX Correct and remove any negative or inaccurate information reported to the credit bureaus Explain in writing the reason for my removal from the plan, supported by documentation Avants failure to honor our agreement and its impact on my credit has caused me serious hardship. If not resolved quickly, I am prepared to seek additional legal remedies and file disputes with credit bureaus directly.
