Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Public record information inaccurate

Complaint:
I have written all three bureaus in reference to my credit. In months my credit score has drastically dropped. I recognized I have had credit issues however, the amount of accounts reflected on my credit report were far greater than the negative. Instead of receiving a solution to my issue my email is bombarded with offers from the credit bureau to purchase their products or to open a credit card. How does this solve my problem or correct my credit score. How can the reporting agency be non bias if they are constantly trying to sell me something. As I previously stated I know I have credit issues and I am resolving and addressing each issue, however, I have paid off far more accounts and in good standing than negative. I do understand there is more in play such as, credit inquires and how high the balances are as well. Please help!!!

Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Trouble using your card
Sub-issue: Can't use card to make purchases

Complaint:
went to use my Chase/XXXX credit card and found out the limit was cut without any prior notice. I have two credit cards with Chase and have never missed a payment in over 7 years since the inception and on one of the cards I pay the balance monthly and do not carry a balance. On the other card - I carry a balance that is about 60 % of the limit and always on time as I mentioned and now they cut the credit limit to the balance I owe, which will now hurt my credit score as it appears I am using 100 % of my limit and jeopardizing my whole credit situation/profile as I can not pay that debt in full or down to an acceptable limit and the 'lending department ' had no clear answer and I have to call back repeatedly. Very frustrating.

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2020 I bought a airline ticket from XXXX website using my XXXX Credit Card and Pay Pal for {$850.00}, after few days on XX/XX/2020 I got a email from XXXX stating my part of the flight was cancelled so I called them and requested to process the refund back to original payment method and they told it'll take up to 30 days or so, then after few days XXXX did a partial refund for {$380.00} on XXXX so I tried calling them few times after the 30 day window and never got any help for the balance refund. So I've filed a dispute with my credit card company XXXX and they started the investigation and issued me a credit for the balance amount {$460.00}. Recently when I was checking my PayPal account I saw my account was now negative for {$380.00} and then I reached out to Pay Pal and what they are stating was my financial institution ( XXXX  ) did recover the money twice so my account balance was negative now, so I reached out to XXXX  and after explaining the issue they are saying they only recovered the balance money which I filed a dispute for and that was already applied to my account and I can see that on my statements. So then again I reached out to Pay Pal with all the screen shots from the conversation with the bank and they now said they can't help me with this and I need to pay the negative balance to use my account. From couple of days I tried calling Pay Pal multiple times but every time I request for a agent after few seconds I'll get a response that they can't respond to me on the phone *disconnects the call. * To this moment I tried to reach out to evary person from Pay Pal and XXXX and tried if they can raise a ticket to enquire about this and resolve this matter and no one seems to help me

State: TX
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement
Sub-issue: Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement

Complaint:
Issue started after a purchase made on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX was returned on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX and the refund of {$750.00} was not applied. I have called American Express several times & spent many hours explaining to supervisors and was assured that it was corrected only to find out that the next statement did not resolve the issue. I have requested in writing since XXXX XXXX for an explanation. I have found out that funds were being transferred from one account to another to resolve the issue. I was not given any disclosures regarding these accounts. More recently, on theirXX/XX/XXXX letter to me they provided for the first time a better explanation of how payments were applied. However, the amount due was incorrect. On XXXX XXXX & then again on XXXX XXXX, XXXX, I sent them another letter disputing the amount due and to correct the amount due. Due to my dissatisfaction of how my account has been treated I also requested for information regarding terms and conditions if I decide to cancel my American Express card. I have not utilized this card for over a year due to the issues. Not only has American Express initiated cancellation as stated on their letter to me on XXXX XXXX, XXXX but they also did not correct the amount due and as a result my account is past due. I have never been late with this card. As stated in previous communications by American Express to me, while the matter is under investigation, I am not responsible for the amount due. However, at this time, they are disregarding this and my account is considered past due. This is not right.

Complaint:
While checking my credit report, I notice an account from XXXX/XXXX that I believe is not being reported correctly on my credit report. On XX/XX/XXXX, I sent them a certified letter informing them that they were reporting inaccurate information on my credit report and requested that they provide me with the information that they used to verify the accuracy of my account, see Attached. After not hearing from them for more than 45 days, I sent another certified letter on XX/XX/XXXX, see attached, again requesting that they provide me with the information they were using to prove the accuracy of my account. I sent them a final certify letter on XX/XX/XXXX, see attached, again with no response. As of today, they are still reporting negatively on my credit report. I also sent certified letters to the three credit bureaus, along with my incident report, which is attached, asking them to verify or remove the negative report on my credit report that XXXX/XXXX is reporting. So far, I have not gotten a response from them either. As you can see, I have been dealing with this situation for several months with no success, so I am writing to you to help me with this matter.
