Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: MI
Product: Credit card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement
Sub-issue: Card was charged for something you did not purchase with the card

Complaint:
I closed my American Express credit card in XXXX, XXXX, and subsequently cut up and disposed of the card as my husband and I were no longer flying to destinations. On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a notice from American Express that my credit card charge was overdue. I called American Express to inform them that this was a fraudulent charge and needed to be sent to the attention of their fraud department. Subsequently, I received notice from XXXX XXXX that I had an overdue account ( American Express ), so I filed a dispute with them. I called American Express again to find out what they needed to investigate this matter and personally spoke with their fraud department representative, but they offered no help. I looked up the charge myself and gathered the following information : around XX/XX/XXXX, someone used my American Express credit card number to make a purchase at XXXX ( which has a XXXX XXXX, CA, base ) in the amount of {$200.00} for an event titled " Loud Luxury ''. I once again called American Express with this information as they continued to send me statements for this charge, and my call was forwarded to the fraud department, so I inquired as to what more information they required. They responded with a letter dated XX/XX/XXXX, informing me I did not provide sufficient information for them to conduct a reasonable review of my claim. On XX/XX/XXXX, they sent me a letter to let me know the charges were now {$510.00} and they were transferring my account to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, for collection.

Complaint:
On XXXX, I submitted a request to block items on my consumer report as I am a victim of identity theft. This was not a dispute, however, the FCRA has chosen to forgo Federal regulation and apply their company policy to treat this as a dispute. In fact, when I called them, they stated that their policy supersedes Federal law ( which states ) ( a ) Block A consumer reporting agency should block the reporting of any information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date receipt by such agency of- ( 1 ) appropriate proof of the identity of the consumer ; ( 2 ) a copy of an identity theft report, ( 3 ) the identification of such information by the consumer, and ( 4 ) a statement by the consumer that the information is not information relating to any transaction by the consumer. I submitted proof that my social security number, fingerprints, birthdate, addresses, and other identifying information were affected by the XXXX OPM data breach as well as Equifax 's XXXX data breach. I submitted all the required documents per 15usc1681c and yet the CRA has failed to block this information and it has been over 4 days. Again, this is NOT A DISPUTE.

Company: Navient Solutions, LLC.
State: TX
Product: Student loan
Sub-product: Private student loan
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Received bad information about your loan

Complaint:
In college, I took out two private loans from XXXX XXXX in 3 disbursements, the first was on XX/XX/XXXX for {$4400.00}, XX/XX/XXXX for {$4400.00}, and last on XX/XX/XXXX for {$3100.00}, for a total of {$12000.00}. After graduating from college and the 6 month grace period before entering loan repayment, I was unable to make payments with my current income at the time and used the forbearance option available to me to postpone my payments. At the time, the servicer was Sallie Mae. Total amount owed after graduating and grace period for my two private loans on XX/XX/XXXX was {$15000.00}. After the various periods of forbearance, my balance jumped to {$23000.00} on XX/XX/XXXX. When I started making payments, there was an inconsistency on how the payment was being applied to my principal and interest balances as demonstrated by the document attached. The loan was sold to Navient on XX/XX/XXXX at which the balance remained almost the same at {$23000.00} after two years of making payments. The inconsistency of how the payments I make are being handled is still occurring and after over 5 years making payments, my balance remains at {$19000.00} on XX/XX/XXXX. To this day, I have made {$19000.00} worth of payments that have been inconsistently applied to principal, interest, and fee balances since XX/XX/XXXX. How do I still owe almost the same that I already paid and much more than I originally borrowed? I never agreed to any type of repayment plan where my money was primarily used for interest payments. In addition, I am currently unemployed and have not source of income to continue paying this ridiculous balance.
