Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account information incorrect

Complaint:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX MD XXXX To Whom It May Concern : I received a copy of my credit report with the intention to trying to improve my credit and take care of my liabilities and noticed an issue on my previous account with a lender. I know the information associated with the account is not correct and needs to be updated. Unfortunately, my experience with XXXX XXXX in the end was not fond. On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a letter ( attached ) from XXXX XXXX informing me they were closing my credit card account with a refund of {$50.00}. This in turn showed me I did not owe them any monies after XXXX XXXX closed the account. I deposited the check and shredded my card for no usage. Recently, unfortunately, I received a notification that my credit balance increased and two late payments were reported to the credit bureau. This lowered my credit score for months after I went through hardships of building my credit back up from being labeled poor. Another issue I have is that XXXX XXXX does not have any record of sending the letter to me so my account incurred charges, late fees, late payment on my records and credit report. 


The Fair Credit Reporting Act where it said by law, I have the right to challenge anything I am sure is not up to date. 15 U.S.C.Sec. 1681i ( a ) gives me the right to request the account deleted if they do not make the account 100 percent correct or up-to-date. I saw on a credit site and board where this lawyer said they have 30 days to complete this investigation. Please investigate the following account and remove it if anything is missing, not up-to-date or correct. Below please complete the following to update the account or delete the account entirely : Account Name : XXXX XXXX Account last four : XXXX Close my account with the closing date of XX/XX/XXXX not with the date of XX/XX/XXXX. 
Remove any late payment dates after XX/XX/XXXX ( XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX late payment reported after XXXX XXXX closed the account ) Waive all the late fees and charges on the account incurred after XX/XX/XXXX ( account was supposed to be closed ). 
Change the credit card balance on the credit report from $ XXXX {$250.00} to {$0.00} ( prior to closing the account, it was paid up. That is why a check was issued to me ). 
Change amount Past Due to {$0.00} Change worst payment status to Current Please see attached XXXX XXXX letter that was received on XX/XX/XXXXXXXX  stating they were closing the account with the refund amount of {$50.00}. In addition, the reported misinformation on my credit report as of XX/XX/XXXX is attached. 

Thank you for your assistance.

Complaint:
This letter is a formal complaint that you are reporting inaccurate and incomplete credit information on my Credit Report. I understand that mistakes happen but your inaccurate information could cost me in higher interest rates and I have enough expenses as it is. I have previously disputed this item with you XXXX XXXX Bankruptcy and in response you verified the item as accurate, stating that you have verified the information with the court. I contacted the court and their response is enclosed. It is clear they do not report to you or any credit bureau for that matter, therefore your original response verifying the item with the court was either an error or a lie. Either way, the reporting requirements do not comply with FCRA 611 ( 15 U.S.C 1681I ) and the information must be deleted immediately.

Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2022 I received a response back from RP Funding on a previous complaint that the property is not located in a floodplain the requirement for flood insurance would be removed and they would issue any refunds as applicable. 

This complaint is in regarding the mandatory private flood insurance that was obtained on XX/XX/2022 In the amount of {$820.00} for a XXXX year policy. I called guided insurance solutions on XX/XX/2022 and canceled our private Flood insurance policy. On XX/XX/2022 a refund in the amount of {$380.00} was credited back to us from the insurance company. There was a penalty of more than XXXX XXXX due to early cancellation. This leaves a remaining balance of {$430.00} that we need to be reimbursed for as the policy was not needed since the property is not in a flood zone. 

I reached out to RP Funding concerning reimbursement of monies spent on mandatory private insurance on XX/XX/2022 by FAX and email. I called on XX/XX/2022 and I was told that since the funds are not coming from an escrow account that they will do nothing about this. I informed the representative in the Insurance Department that another complaint would be filed with the CFPB as this would be considered unnecessary expenses incurred due to their errors and should be reimbursed as it was previously stated in a prior complaint as a fair resolution to the issue.

Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: RI
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:
I have a business gold card through American Express. On XXXX we paid the entire amount due of over {$26000.00}. No additional payment is due for another 4 weeks.

I just received notification today from American Express that they have blocked all new charges on all my other American Express cards, none of which are near their limit or have payments that are overdue.

The reason I was given was that until I pay down the remaining balance on the gold card, they will not allow any more charges on any of my accounts.
They are holding multiple accounts hostage and refusing to allow me to run my businesses when the remaining balance isn't due for several weeks.

We were also lied to by one of their representatives about two weeks ago. They called us because they didn't want us to wait until the due date to make the {$26000.00} payment and wanted us to make the payment early. They called several days in a row. When I questioned why it needs to be paid early, I was told it doesn't but they would like it to be. 

I was also told that once we made the payment, that would allow us to again be able to charge an additional {$30000.00} on that card. After making the payment of {$26000.00} they then informed us that they are only allowing us to charge {$5000.00} more. It was a total bait and switch situation. 

I realize that their gold card has no preset limit. However, when asked what is controlling how our account is handled I was told that it is based on how we make our payments, they acknowledged that we are always on time, it is our credit score, which they let us know it has gone up the last few months, and finally our length of accounts, which we have been working with them for over 5 years. 

So the only thing left to determine why we are being treated this way is that we are being discriminated against. We have been treated completely unfairly. 

Thank you for your time and attention.

On XX/XX/2022, I sent a letter regarding inaccurate and unknown things on my credit report to this day over 30 days later I have not received a response yet. I feel like I'm taken advantage of and being ignored for my disputes. Section 611 ( a ), it is plainly stated that failure to investigate these items within 30 days gives a reason to immediately remove those items from my credit report, it has been over 30 days so they should be deleted promptly. I demand these accounts should be deleted immediately or I will file for litigation due to the stress you caused me. My information was also impacted by the XXXX XXXX breach and may have got into the hands of the wrong person.
