Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: MI
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Advertising and marketing, including promotional offers
Sub-issue: Confusing or misleading advertising about the credit card

Complaint:
My wife applied for an additional user card for me, which American Express claim that a cardmember can apply up to four additional users of which the original cardholder is responsible for the charges and all the agreements. AMEX also stated that they will not pull the additional user credit history or the cardmember 's because the cardmember is the one who guarantees the second card. When my wife submitted the application with my name and SSN, a message came on the screen that AMEX will let us know IF YOUR REQUEST HAS BEEN APPROVED OR NOT. ( the first red flag that something not right is going on ) Which tells me that AMEX did check my history, at least with them. 

I called AMEX a week or two later on Saturday XX/XX/2021 around noon to inquire about my card, only to be told by the representative that my card was not approved because I have a bankruptcy with AMEX that dates back 17 years ago. I talked to a manager that day who was very nice and expressed understanding that one can't be punished for something from 17 years ago ( feel free to pull the recording from both conversations ). He also said that he will send a request to the under writer to re-evaluate my request taking in consideration that this bankruptcy was 17 years ago and that my wife AS ADVERTISED is the sole owner and responsible for the account. A week later I got denied again by the underwriter. Once again, I speak to a manager who said that AMEX will not change their mind and that they will not issue me a card, but she will try to talk to them. 

That leaves me with the conclusion that : ( 1 ) You have deceived me by not mentioning anywhere in your privacy notice or on the website that the additional card user history with you WILL BE considered in your decision. ( a snap shot of both are attached ) ( 2 ) I have been discriminated against based on my race, name, and country of origin. 

( 3 ) AMEX does not have fair practices and does discriminates between applicants. I have never heard of keeping a record from 17 years ago and use it against the applicant. People 's lives change 180 degrees in 5 years period, let alone 17 years. Not to mention that this bankruptcy was only and only because of a divorce where before the divorce, my account with AMEX was in a good standing for many years. But AMEX did not see that I had an excellent credit with them until the divorce, but only looked at the bankruptcy and decided not to issue me a card, despite their own advertisement that mention nothing about taking in consideration the additional card user history with them.

Complaint:
THIS WAS THE LETTER SENT TO CAPITAL ONE : Capital One Subject : Clarification and Evidence of Unfounded Accusation Dear Capital One Customer Relations, I am writing to address a matter of utmost importance regarding a recent incident involving unauthorized activity on my Capital One credit card. I recently received information indicating that my credit card was used for fraudulent transactions, both on XX/XX/XXXX, totaling {$400.00} ( {$100.00} + {$300.00} ). This credit card was issued after I required Capital One to replace my old credit card with this new one that offered some benefits. I want to clarify that this particular credit card was never delivered to my home. 

Firstly, I would like to direct your attention to the declaration provided by XXXX XXXX, a close friend and current host at the address XXXX XXXX  MD XXXX. Her statement corroborates the fact that I have been at her residence since XX/XX/2023, where I came due to business matters. Furthermore, XXXX confirms that we were together on XX/XX/2023, the day in question, for the entire duration. 

In addition to XXXXXXXX XXXX declaration, I have attached copies of my XXXX XXXX  statements for the period leading up to and including XX/XX/2023. These statements clearly indicate my presence in the area and my legitimate financial transactions, further solidifying my claim that I was here in the day that happened the unauthorized activity on my Capital One credit card in XXXX, FL. 


I kindly request that you expedite your investigation, taking into account the evidence I have provided. Please feel free to contact me at XXXX XXXX or XXXX if you require any further information or clarification regarding the evidence I have submitted. I sincerely hope for a swift resolution to this matter and the clearing of my name from any unfounded allegations. 

Thank you for your understanding and prompt attention to this issue.

Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Complaint:
This complaint is aimed at the three credit bureaus ( XXXX, XXXX, and TransUnion ). 

Although the actions described below are legal according to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), the result of the misuse of credit reports and personal information creates an undue hardship for consumers. 

My situation began on XX/XX/2022. 

I had submitted a loan application with a local mortgage lender, and got pre-approved. My credit is solid, and my household income allows me to afford a home purchase. 

Following being pre-approved, I was bombarded with solicitation calls and text messages. On Monday, XX/XX/2022 I received about 37 calls from different lending institutions soliciting me for my business. Let me repeat that ; OVER 37 CALLS!! That's insane, and I've never experienced something like that before ; certainly not when I bought my last home. 

I am filing this complaint as a record because I will also be reporting them to the XXXX as well as writing my congress person to speak about change. These companies need to know their place in society, and selling consumer information for a profit is not where they belong.

Complaint:
Because of Covid, payments are not due as in pre Covid. I have been making some payments as my choice but not regularly. Navient continues to charge interest illegally and send me threatening letters as well as impacting my credit. I don't understand how is this possible in light of the Federal Government 's ruling on XXXXXXXX loans. 

To be clear, I only owe a small amount now to Navient but I refuse to be hassled illegally. In comparison, XXXX XXXX, whom I work with on my XXXX XXXX loans has complied with covid rulings completely. As it should. 

Navient needs to be punished for continuing this type of harassment.

This is fraud! I called the resort afterwards and asked, if I attend a presentation do I have to apply for a credit card and there response was no absolutely not! Which is a lie! One way or another theyre either having customers leave the presentation with a worthless time share package or credit card without your knowledge! At no point did they say I applied and was accepted for credit cards!
