Consumer complaint received 2017-05-13
Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: IN
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose prepaid card
Issue: Trouble using the card
Sub-issue: Trouble using the card to spend money in a store or online

Complaint:
I have three American Express Prepaid cards and two of them were declined by American Express and I was charged {$1.00} when each card was declined. I have n't tried to use the third card yet. I have called American Express 5 times and was hung up on twice by someone who can hardly speak English. When you call the number on the back of the cards you get an automated recording that does n't provide any options to resolve the problem. You do n't get an option to speak to a human. The two people I spoke to answered two other American Express customer service numbers. Two of the three cards have values of {$50.00} each and one has a value of {$25.00}. American Express gladly takes our money, but makes no effort to all us to resolve issues. I guess keeping my {$120.00} is more profitable than the 3 % they get when I use them. I am going to file a suit in small claims if they do n't fix this.

Sub-issue: Difficulty submitting a dispute or getting information about a dispute over the phone

Complaint:
There are numerous inaccuracies on my XXXX Credit report, that I have brought to XXXX 's attention and they had failed to fix the issues. 

There is a collection account that should have been removed as I never had any business relationship, account setup, or payment arrangements with the company. My account was handled directly with the creditor without the involvement of any collection agency. 

Financial Management Solutions is reported as a Hard Inquiry on my credit report ; this company is a collection agency- that is being incorrectly reported, as a lender who accessed my credit report for an installment loan or new bank account inquiry. I have never applied for any loan or bank account with this company and never given this company permission to use my personal information to obtain my credit report. 

There is a business account from XXXX XXXX that should not be on my personal credit report. I have disputed this account numerous times, the other credit bureaus have removed the business account from my credit reports, XXXX has failed to remove this account and continuously avoids correcting any inaccuracies.

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Investigation took more than 30 days

Complaint:
This company is not putting the accounts in question in disputes unless I call in and spend 2 hours minimum on the phone trying to get it done. They continue to state that they need me to send in certain documents but ignore my documents for 3 months and demand I send them again before my disputes can be looked at. All they say is that the back office team needs to look over the documents but fail to comply with notifying myself of the disputes and continue to spam me with mail requesting my license and other information Ive sent over several times in the last 11 months.

I am gathering all of this proof carefully and very organized to pursue litigation with the help of my lawyer.

By reporting these inaccuracies you are in violation of 15 USC 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ) ; for a consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report under the following circumstance and no other : in accordance with the written instructions to the consumer to whom it relates.

EQUIFAX has in fact knowingly furnished my consumer report with inaccuracies multiple times without having wet ink, written instructions to do so. These actions have caused my family and i great deal of injury.

Furthermore, I am filing this consumer complaint and consumer check for compliance of these particular items that you are reporting under FACT Title 1 sec. 151.

Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc.
State: FL
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: Store credit card
Issue: Fees or interest
Sub-issue: Problem with fees

Complaint:
On  XXXX / XXXX / XXXX , I used the Credit Card to make a purchase for {$29.00}. The Credit Card due date was  XXXX / XXXX / XXXX . I paid off the {$29.00} on the due date and thought this was resolved. Fast forward to  XXXX   XXXX  and I began receiving calls from the bank that offers the card. I was told I owe {$88.00} on the card. I was very confused because I remember paying it off. I also had not been sent any letters via mail or email advising I still owed a balance.     Apparently, because I made the payment after  XXXX  on the due date (  XXXX / XXXX / XXXX  ) their system charge me a Late Fee after  XXXX  on the due date and subsequently posted my payment the following day  XXXX / XXXX / XXXX . Since then, they had been charging me late fees ( on the initial late fee ), and no one advised me this was happening. They advised they could not help me as it was my own fault for not knowing their company policy and I should pay my bills in advance rather than waiting until the due date.     I was left with no options by them so to resolve this nightmare, I closed my account with them while also paying the amount owed (  XXXX  ) I thought this nightmare would be finally over. Now on  XXXX  ( yesterday ) I received a call from them, advising I owed {$100.00}. Apparently, they assessed me even more late fees, and they said I paid the  XXXX  late. I explained to them that I paid what was owed online at the time I logged in as my account balance, as well as what thei r CSR said I o wed. No one could assist yet again.     I am reaching out here as my last attempt as I have never experienced such predatory practices. They make their own rules ( unfair cutoff payment times, not communicating due dates clearly to the customer ) and I am now charged over {$200.00} in late fees in total over a {$29.00} charge that was satisfied more than 6 months ago.

Complaint:
Experian. Of the three credit agencies, their use of credit score metrics is unfairly penalizing consumers nationwide, including those who have good to excellent credit. My credit scores are XXXX  and XXXX  with the other two agenices. With Experian, its XXXX. There can't be that much of a disparity and be fair. Please, on behalf of consumers nationwide, look into this practice, Experian 's 8 score and their unethical push to urge consumers to open credit accounts to boost their scores, particularly to those who've recently gotten out of debt. Consumers are tired of of these practices, of pushing credit cards, of hiding credit scores ( until we sign up for THEIR memberships. )

Complaint:
I have received information back from the company stating the laws and why the inquires on my report are factual, However the company is not reading and understanding what I am saying as I have stated the inquires on my report are fraudulent as I was in the department of corrections when they were made, and you are not allowed to apply for credit when you are in prison. I have gone to the companies to dispute these errors and have spend hundreds of dollars sending certified mail only to get a response that the credit bureaus responsibility to remove FRAUD. Therefore I am again requesting that the credit bureau needs to do this job properly and read the complaint I am submitting. I am aware of the laws but I am also sure you are aware that you can not go shopping when you are in prison.
