State: FL
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Complaint:
This " reporting agency '' does not do what is in the best interests of the consumer. XXXX XXXX did 3 hard inquiries that were unauthorized. I reported this immediately to all three credit bureaus, the Attorney general and the FTC. I even had to file a complaint against this scam company to the CFPB ( Complaint ID : XXXX-XXXX ). Nevertheless, they will not remove these hard inquiries from my credit report citing that people are allowed to pull inquiries whether its authorized or not specifically authorized. If this is the case, then these inquiries should not affect a persons credit score and reflect negatively on a credit report. When I call the credit bureaus, they do not remedy the problems. When I write the credit bureaus, they do not remedy the problems. Who has the best interests of the consumer? I did not authorize the hard inquiries from this scam broker and if the credit bureaus had investigated my complaint like they said they did, there would be NO evidence to support their inquiry into my credit and the inquiries would had to have been removed. A quick XXXX search will show how crooked and shady this person is. XXXX XXXX of XXXX XXXX XXXX was not authorized to pull any inquiries on my behalf. He has refused to respond to the CFPB, FTC, and Attorney General regarding my complaints against him and his company. Why do the credit bureaus continue to mislead consumers with regards to their investigative practices? They never investigate anything until an official complaint is launched against them.

Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: OH
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:
XX/XX/XXXX we purchased a {$50.00} Amex prepaid gift card. It states it can be used at any merchant online and in person, who accepts American express. Except we can't use the card online anywhere. Its declined every place we try to use it. So far I have tried XXXX website, adding it to my XXXX account, and XXXX, and it is declined each time. However each merchant takes a 10 cent transaction fee off the card when I try to use it. 

I have spoken to customer service at Amex both yesterday on the XXXX and today on the XXXX. The first rep said he was emailing XXXX to assure them the card was valid. XXXX laughed about that and said that is absurd and would not ever be something they accept. 

Today, I called back and a rep named XXXX told me that I actually am NOT able to use the card online because of security protection that Amex uses to make sure my money is safe. It's so safe that no merchants won't take the money on websites. We can only use it in person. 

This obviously doesn't make sense so we asked for a supervisor and she said that we can not use the card at ALL at any of the merchants I have tried, even in person. She says the same thing about the card protection being so good for our safety that we just can not use it online because all the online merchants aren't able to bypass these incredible safety measures. And that even in person we can't use the card at these merchants now so we must go in person and find a different company and we can use the card there! 

This is not a solution, we purchased this card specifically with the intent to purchase cat food on XXXX website. We can't get a refund at the store we bought the card from, it's been XXXX hours since our cats ate, we can't order XXXX, we can't add the card as a payment method to XXXX or XXXX or any other financial institutions to bypass this " amazing security '' and none of the merchants we can't get to sell cat food or we would have just gone in person and paid cash in the first place! We wouldn't have wasted {$5.00} to buy a prepaid card if we could just go to a store by us and get cat food! We're XXXX, and XXXX XXXX XXXX and the closest store is over 3 miles away if we tried to walk and it's almost 100 degrees outside. 

I am highly upset, this is absolutely ridiculous and I will make sure to never use Amex again. I have NEVER had a problem like this with a prepaid XXXX or XXXX, and I would have just bought one of those but they didn't have any {$50.00} ones when I went to the store yesterday! This is ridiculous!

Sub-issue: Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2023, I was contacted by XXXX customer service, well what I thought was XXXX Customer Service, which turned out to be a scammer. According to this person, there were unknown charges on my Capital One Credit Card account. When I called the credit card company, there was no record of any unknown charges. In addition, I have also filed a report with the FTC regarding this situation. 

The scammer told me that in order to stop my XXXX account from being compromised, that I had to go to stores and purchase gift cards from XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX. Unknowingly, I followed suit and then after the fact, realized that I have fallen a victim of a scam. I immediately contacted Capital One and explained the situation and that I would like to have all charges disputed. Capital One followed suit and disputed all charges. 

Fast forward to XX/XX/XXXX, Capital One sends me a letter stating that XXXX has denied my dispute for {$450.00}. They have stated that there is nothing that can be done. 

I also worry that I will be responsible for the other charges that were made from the other merchants.
