Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Was not notified of investigation status or results

Complaint:
My last complaint you responded and said you assume it wasn't me who filed the complaint. I don't see why you think it is someone else. No one is serious about my credit but ME! So please do not try to use more stall tactics to not remove this account. On XX/XX/2020 XXXX sent a letter regarding inaccurate fraudulent things on my credit report it has been over 60 days and to this day I haven't received any results. I feel like I am being taking advantage and ignored by the credit bureaus. Section611 ( a ) plainly states that failure to investigate this item within 30 days gives a reason to immediately remove this account from my credit report. Clearly it has been way longer than that. I demand this account be removed immediately or I will file litigation due to the stress you have caused me. My information has been impacted by the Equifax security breach and may have gotten in the hands of the wrong person. Included is also the FTC report that I filed, sent to each bureau and they haven't conducted an investigation for that either.

Complaint:
Subject : Dispute Regarding Inaccurate Debt Reporting Dear Sir/Madam, I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to formally dispute the presence of a debt on my credit report, which has been reported by a third-party collection agency listed on my report. I would like to clarify that I do not have any contractual agreement with the said collection agency, and therefore, I am not responsible for the alleged debt they are attempting to collect. 

It is my understanding that the collection agency acquired this debt for a significantly reduced amount, often referred to as " pennies on the dollar. '' In doing so, they assumed the risk associated with the lack of a signed contract from me, the consumer. I believe it is unjust that I am being penalized for a debt that I do not owe, and it is negatively impacting my creditworthiness. 

I kindly request that you investigate this matter thoroughly and remove the disputed item from my credit report. As per the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), it is your obligation to ensure the accuracy of the information you report. In this case, the inclusion of the alleged debt is inaccurate and misleading, as I have never entered into any contractual agreement with the collection agency. 

Furthermore, I have taken the liberty of cc'ing the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) and the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) to assist in the resolution of this matter. I have been struggling with this issue since 2017, and despite my efforts, I have not been able to find a satisfactory solution. The negative impact caused by this inaccurate information being reported on my credit report is affecting my financial opportunities and overall well-being. 

I urge you to take prompt action in investigating this dispute and rectifying the inaccuracies on my credit report. I expect to receive a written response from your office within the legally mandated 30-day period, informing me of the actions taken to address this matter. 

Thank you for your attention to this dispute. I trust that you will handle this matter with the utmost professionalism and urgency it deserves. 

Sincerely,

Complaint:
This complaint is about Amex knowingly not making a payment to XXXX after their advised 30 day policy per their Fraud XXXX. I confirmed to Amex {$1700.00} XXXX transaction made on XXXX was valid. Amex Fraud Dept Team sent me a letter via Secure Message on XXXX confirming that the transaction is no longer in question and Dispute Reference Number : XXXX was closed. First I was told to wait 3-4 days for them to pay XXXX, then 1 week, then 2 weeks, then 1 month and TODAY they ask me to wait 1 more month. Their " rigid protocol and bank policies '' CHANGE everytime I call. From general customer service to supervisor, nobody know nothing every time I call and ask me to wait and wait to then have call back later and give me a different excuse and provide me with more lies about a new " protocol '' they have. At this point they have given a different protocol for the past 30 days I have called different days. 

The only thing Amex needs to do is to pay back to XXXX and they refuse to due to their " protocols '', which change every single time I call them to follow up. I have waited all the time they mentioned and done everything they've advised me, which were all lies from them confirmed by themselves. They have recorded calls. They keep making different excuses every time and blatantly continue to lie to me about everything despite I filed a Customer Service complaint to them about their employees ( general customer service, fraud team and supervisors ) lying to customers like me to get off of their responsibilities. Then they get mad at me and continue to lie to me when I tell them all the lies they have given me and they become speechless and do nothing. Last week, XXXX, Fraud Dept agent XXXX gave their number XXXX and advised me " this was an unusual situation and that Amex should've paid XXXX long ago, that it was most probably a mistake from Amex was done in this process and they ALL have overlooked it '', his words. He advised he was in charge now of handling those type of XXXX cases and it was not okay on Amex end. Today XXXX, Amex Fraud Dept XXXX advised me they have " initiated the process to pay back XXXX but didn't knew what was taking so long '' and proceeded to give more excuses. When ALL previous reps have advised me that Amex had already PAID XXXX. 

The complaint ID # I submitted with Amex last month XX/XX/2021 for them lying to me is XXXX - The rep could not even/not wanted to spell her name ( something Samalia I don't know ). She advised another lie that everything should be resolved by the end of XXXX and that I was going to receive a letter. None happened.
