Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: TX
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose prepaid card
Issue: Problem with a purchase or transfer
Sub-issue: Card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase or transfer

Complaint:
I have had another instance of this company conspiring with a merchant and holding funds. The first time, I had made a purchase from XXXX company, in which they delayed in giving me my refund. They swore up and down it was AMEX Bluebird fault, I was on them hot and hard about my refund, and they convinced AMEX Bluebird to  give me a provisional credit, until they could get the funds to them. The XXXX rep called me back and told me my refund was coming, told me my account information which she should have not had, and they talked with AMEX Bluebird behind my back conspiring to get credit for a refund that they should have sent. I was XXXX, I left the AMEX BB open, but moved my direct deposit, and essentially stopped using the  card, but left the account open. I had a dispute with a Merchant on XXXX, dating from XX/XX/2018. I finally got my refund for that item, and XXXX told me it would be five business days, I just happen to look today, and it was posted to my account, but then AMEX put it on hold saying the merchant is saying do not release it until XX/XX/2018. I feel like they are yet again conspiring against me as a customer.

Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize

Complaint:
I noticed 2 recent Inquiries on my credit report that I do not recognize nor did I give permission to run my credit. The first one says University XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/2019 and the other one says XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/2019. I tried to dispute these on the Transunion website but they did not have an option for that so I called the Transunion customer service and they would not allow me to dispute the fraudulent inquiries that I did not allow. They said I would have to get a letter from the companies which makes no sense to me. Please help.

Issue: Took or threatened to take negative or legal action
Sub-issue: Sued you without properly notifying you of lawsuit

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX I received a voice mail from XXXX XXXX ( phone number " unknown '' ) who indicated she was contacting me in reference to a complaint that was forward to her office ( no name of the company ) under file # XXXX to discuss a pending action being filed against me and if I didn't call XXXX proceedings will begin without my consent. I called the number an requested the name of the company but was told by the person on the line that she answers for several companies and to provide the number and she would let me know. I gave her the number and then there was silence and XXXX came on the phone and said she was from XXXX or Cohen & Associates. I asked why did they call me and she stated they didn't call me that I called them - I said yes, because I was left a message to call and she played word games by saying I called as she originally stated. I said this is a scam and I'm going to report her to the FTC and she said " we will see you in court '' and hung up. 

Prior to this call, I received a call on XX/XX/XXXX several times from XXXX and a voicemail was left indicating that I have not responded to issues in the previous six months and it is considered as an intentional fraud and a lawsuit is being filed under my name by the United States Government. 

I'm not familiar with any issues and have not received any letters in the mail. I don't know if the two are related but its odd that out of the blue I've received these calls. I know my personal information was part of two separate breaches that were with big companies and in the news.

Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Unable to get your credit report or credit score
Sub-issue: Problem getting your free annual credit report

Complaint:
REQUEST FOR FREE ANNUAL CREDIT REPORT!!! 
I believe that each consumer reporting agency has invalidated the true spirit of the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act. The Act first established November 22, 2003 was intended to establish a plan whereas common American citizens could obtain a copy of their credit reports at least once a year free of charge. Since each credit reporting agency now has marketing divisions such as XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX   and XXXX XXXXXXXX, the automation system to obtain the free annual reports is looped into an information request to steer citizens into additional product offers that are excessive and unnecessary. Even though I may have received an approval of an updated credit report from either Experian, XXXX XXXX or XXXX respectively, it is unfair that I need to do a mail request since I can submit my personal information through the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) portal. I  believe that since the CFPB is the sole responsible oversight party of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, its imperative that any additional solicitation of information from the credit bureaus should be blocked permanently. I along with any other citizen should receive a free credit report upon request. The credit reporting agencies are an important aspect of the national banking system to properly function, but the current aggressive marketing campaign soliciting citizens for an arbitrary XXXX score has gone too far, including but not limited to Experian XXXX. We must return to a common ground that is fair for all consumers in the United States, and we must be able to request additional marketing on our own terms. Accordingly, I am making a request for a free credit report with confirmation number to my attached email address. Thank you.

Complaint:
A Warranty Contract was purchased on XXXX XXXX, XXXX, for a 1-year period, and paid in full by my check for {$470.00} into my XXXX account. The Contract was cancelled by the provider on XXXX XXXX, XXXX who also refunded {$320.00} into my XXXX account. No work had ever been done by the provider. No statements or bills were ever received.

I have never been provided with evidence that I am responsible for this debt or the details of the charges except the {$320.00} total. 

On XXXX XXXX my credit report was flagged by the Debt Buyer as " Collections '' causing my FICO score to fall from XXXX to XXXX.

Complaint:
Bank of America will not stop harassing me with phone calls, even though I have told them to stop and they can see we 've made the payment on our travel trailer. These are robocalls. You say hello and no one is be replies for a few seconds. We scheduled our payment ON THEIR WEBSITE for a future date. They STILL call. This month, they called XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX. Several of these days, they called 4 and 5 times a day. If I answer, and I 've grown weary and tired of explaining the same thing over and over, they still can not get it through their heads that we scheduled the payment. There was one female who was very nice and even offered to credit a late fee they had charged this month, which tells me the calls should have stopped then, but they did not. They restarted the next day! I suspect this is a hired outside company, because they say they have no access to BOA systems? This makes it all the more egregious. It is upsetting and stressful. They need to STOP.

This company called " The XXXX XXXX '' sent me a letter about 1 week and a half ago. 
They said I had a debt that totaled over {$1700.00}. The original creditor was XXXX XXXX XXXX, which I did belong to in XX/XX/XXXX/XX/XX/XXXX. I seem to remember cancelling my XXXX 's membership in XX/XX/XXXX, because I wasn't using it anymore. I thought that was the end of it, until this " XXXX '' sent me the above mentioned letter. 
" XXXX '' went on to say in this letter that they would except a one time payment of {$340.00} or 12 monthly payments of {$38.00}. They went on to say that if I didn't arrange and agree to a payment, then they would file a XXXX form against me with the I.R.S. I'm willing to settle the debt from XXXX 's but I think this " XXXX XXXX '' might be bogus and therefore a scam.
