Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: MA
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Other features, terms, or problems
Sub-issue: Problem with customer service

Complaint:
TL ; DR American Express does not always use correct customer name and address when it mails materials to the customer. When the customers reports the problem of non received mail to American Express, the company is arrogant about investigating the issue and simply assumes that its systems generating mailing labels for the envelopes are working correctly. 

There are two responses from American Express to CFPB that I am attaching. One claims that an American Epxress credit card was mailed to me in a package that was addressed to my name and address I had on the account. The ohter claiming that a {$50.00} check was mailed to me in an envelope that had my name and address on the mailing label.

None of the materials were actually delivered to me. I asked American Express that one of its representatives should manually verify that name and address that is being printed on the shipping or mailing label when American Express mails some materials to me, but it seems that American Express does not want to bother troubleshooting the problem to identify the source of the error in its system.

Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account status incorrect

Complaint:
I have a credit card from XXXX, and I have always made my payments on time. After being alerted that there was a late payment on my credit report, I called XXXX and was informed that there was a mistake in their billing system which had resulted in a 30-day late payment on my credit report. 

As it turned out, by the time the billing issue was resolved, a second 30-day late payment had been placed on my credit report. This billing mistake resulted in me being 60 days late. 

It's important to note that my payment history has always been perfect and on time. I reached out to XXXX, Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX, but unfortunately, I have been unable to obtain a satisfactory resolution. Both XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX have reported me as 30 days late for XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, which is caused by the bank 's error.

Complaint:
XXXX purchased our XXXX mortgage loan last XXXX. At first they led me to believe I was late so I filed a complaint w/ cfpb. Things got resolved but I felt I was getting played based on XXXX 's reputation. ( maybe we have someone not paying attention? ) Last XXXX they forced placed a flood policy on me. I ignored it knowing their reputation and was not paying for dual coverage.I have not paid the premium. I finally got tired of them asking for the premium and sent them my XXXX page. Not good enough. Apparently since this was new construction the legal address does not match the physical address. No big deal they say " It is required by XXXX. After all these years no creditor has challenged this. So .... The insurance company says the agent has to change it and the agent told me to call the insurance company. Again no big deal as we been carrying flood insurance since we purchased the house. Again, I feel like is XXXX looks for borrowers to extort money from ; somebody not paying attention. They have gotten better ; the call center employees sound more convincing and professional : but when asked XXXX several people ) to review my policy ( XXXX page ) ; almost all XXXX insurance experts XXXX had no access to it ; XXXX a couple did XXXX when they all should. Now I'm asking for a deferment and I'm feeling I will get the run around. I've been down this path before.! A group of investors buying a distressed book of business handled by young people in a call center in XXXX XXXX XXXX.

XXXX XXXX XXXX has called mt phone within the last 90 days 422 times per my caller ID and other applications via cellphone. I explained to this collection company that this debt is unknown and I do not recognize the account from Synchrony Bank. After conducting additional research over the weekend, the account was changed four times from one store to another that I never knew existed. I have requested that this collector send it back to originator where the matter could be handled legally and send proof of any documentation that they had regarding charges and its ' original application. 

This company placed this collection on my account soon as the country went into a state of an emergency. They have called on several occasions as well where the state I live in requested all call and collection activities to cease under a mandatory mandate or moratorium. Yet alone, the debt is erroneous.
