Issue: Opening an account
Sub-issue: Confusing or missing disclosures

Complaint:
The company sent multiple mailers for their new business checking account. Mailers indicate stipulations for earning XXXX reward points for qualifying transactions, which I had plenty of. The company 's advertisement is very misleading, as the customer service rep later advised that it is only " online transactions, '' which is not the terminology used by the company. AMEX should revise its marketing material, and if it's only for online transactions, it should directly indicate this. The account holder was given a political answer to a simple concern. Additional actions will be taken if this language needs to be changed to reflect simply what is being asked of a new account member.

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I was contacted at work. A voicemail was left on my phone stating that I needed to contact XXXX and set up a time to be served because I was going to be sued. I returned the phone call. They stated they were collecting a debt on behalf of Bank of America. They stated that I needed to make a payment on the debt. the debt was over  {$500.00}, and with their fees, it came to {$900.00}. I asked the agent about the statue of limitation. I asked was the debt time barred. The agent stated no because they could collect since the bank was going in bankruptcy. I asked them to validate the debt and he stated he couldn't. I could either set the arrangement or get sued. I told them that that was not my debt, however, my only option given was to make a payment. They set up to take a payment on XX/XX/XXXX.

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: CA
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint:
When I received my tax bill from the county, I contacted Chase to confirm that they will pay it from my escrow account. They said Rest assured that nothing is required from you. We will always pay for your tax since it is part of your escrow account. 

However, what they failed to inform me was that they do NOT pay the supplemental tax bill from escrow ( even though the amount I was charged every month would be enough to cover it ). When the payment was late, I was charged a {$200.00} late fee from the county. 

I contacted Chase and they said they will not reimburse me for the {$200.00} late fee even though they told me they would pay the bill. Upon second contact they said that it said in my closing documents that they do not pay supplemental bills from escrow. However, I reviewed all my signing documents and could not find any such language. Chase bought my mortgage from my lender last year and the original lender never notified me of this either.

Company: BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE
State: TX
Product: Credit card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement
Sub-issue: Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement

Complaint:
I treated my family to a 4 night vacation in XXXX. We purchased 3 rooms from XXXX in XX/XX/2022. When we arrived to the hotel 6 month later on XX/XX/XXXX, we were told by the hotel that all 3 rooms were sold out. With no where to go or turn because we are now stranded at a hotel in XXXX, we were instead put in 3 single bed bedrooms for XXXX adults, including XXXX men, my brothers. Unsatisfied, we checked out early and spent double our vacation budget to move my family to another hotel in XXXX. 

I was instructed by XXXX to dispute the charge with my credit card provider BarClayUS because we ordered 3 queen bedrooms and were not given what we pre-booked 6 months before our vacation. When disputing the charge I provided the credit card company with the original receipt of the booking, the receipt of the second hotel we moved ( with assistance from XXXX ), photos of out early check-out forms, and photos of my brother sleeping on a cot. This was NOT the 4.5 star experience we paid for, and this was NOT what we ordered. 

However, my credit company will not budge. They are aware we did nothing wrong. They are aware we did not purchase the rooms we were put in. And they are aware that we checked out early. I have been fighting this case now going on 10 months this year. What are my rights?
