Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: DC
Product: Credit card
Issue: Rewards

Complaint:
Hello, On XXXX XXXX, 2016, I applied and was approved for an American Express XXXX Card, which included a XXXX point bonus after spending {$10000.00}. On XXXX XXXX, 2016, I completed the spending requirement and was awarded the XXXX bonus. On several different dates over the next several months, I attempted to transfer points out of my account to various airlines. However, each time I was given an error message and told to call American Express. Each time I was told my account was " under review '' as I had recently completed a bonus award and those points " had to sit in my account '' for a certain period of time but I was never given a definite date the points would be available. Most recently, on XXXX XXXX, 2016, I once again attempted to transfer points out of my account and was given the same error message and the same explanation when I called American Express. However, this time they promised my points would be available for transfer on XXXX XXXX. Today, XXXX XXXX, I once again attempted to transfer points and once again when I spoke to American Express they said they would have someone look into it and call me back. This is unacceptable and a practice I 've heard they are doing to many others as well. 

Thank you, XXXX XXXX

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: DC
Product: Checking or savings account
Sub-product: Checking account
Issue: Problem with a lender or other company charging your account
Sub-issue: Transaction was not authorized

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I saw that a fraudulent check had been passed on my Wells Fargo checking account. I called the bank immediately ( and to their credit, I did receive the funds back from this first fraudulent check ). The representative froze the account and helped me open a new account. With the original account frozen, and the bank assured me that no transactions would clear that frozen account without my authorization. Based on this assurance, I did not concern myself with another missing check that had not yet been cashed. 

I then contacted the company to which I had mailed the missing check and learned that they did not receive it. I later filed a complaint with XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX for stolen mail. Based on the assurances of Wells Fargo, I did not expect this stolen check to be cashed. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I saw that the missing check had in fact been cashed ( see attachment ) despite the account being " frozen ''. I called Wells Fargo the same day and received a claim number for my dispute of this transaction. I was told to expect resolution in XXXX business days and that I could monitor the claim online on the Wells Fargo website. A second claim number appeared on the website. Eventually the website indicated that the claim had a closed status. However, the money had not been returned to my account. The website indicated that I could call XXXX for more information. On XX/XX/XXXX, I called this number and was repeatedly transferred to various departments within Wells Fargo, speaking to at least XXXX different individuals. None of them could use either of the claim numbers to look up the claim and none of them could tell me anything about the status of this claim. 
To date, I have not yet received the funds from the check that Wells Fargo wrongly allowed to clear the frozen account.

State: OH
Product: Credit card
Issue: Other

Complaint:
I have never had a credit card before and whenever I apply for a student card I am always denied. The company did not send me a letter or email regarding the reasons why I was denied a credit card. I have a fairly large amount of money in my savings account but the companies do not even ask for the amount that you currently have. They ask for the gross income amount. Most college students do not have a permanent job and are mostly seasonal employees. I do not see what the issue is with my current financial information given to them. I even contacted a credit report company to see if something is wrong with my credit score even though I 've never had a credit card.

Sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2020, I sent a letter to Transunion about inaccurate and unverifiable items on my credit report. It has been over 2 months and I have not received a response from anyone. I feel like my dispute letters are being ignored. In section 611 ( a ), it plainly says that a failure to investigate these items within 30 days gives a reason to immediately remove those items from my credit report. Since it has been over 60 days, these items should be deleted immediately. Please have the inaccurate/invalid accounts be deleted immediately or I will file for litigation due to the stress this is causing me. I am trying to apply for funding to start my own business but my credit is making the process a lot harder.

Complaint:
I opened a XXXX svings/checking account and a line of credit with the Citizens Bank. I was told that there will be no maintenance fee if I had a direct deposit and keep the line of credit open. I always met both of these conditions of the bank. I had a less than {$20000.00} loan in my line of credit account and therefore paid {$50.00} annual fee separately for this reason. The Citizens Bank has charged me {$20.00} per month fee for 8 months. When I complained they reimbursed only {$60.00} for 3 months. However, this maintenance fee is totally bogus as I have always met the bank 's conditions. I have tried to speak with the bank a couple of times. Sent complain online but they do not care to resolve my issue and reimburse my remaining {$100.00}. This is an unscrupulous and deceiving practice of the bank to rip off customers like me and they are not willing to resolve it.

Sub-product: Medical
Issue: False statements or representation
Sub-issue: Attempted to collect wrong amount

Complaint:
Went in for XXXX on my XXXX under a health care provider that my Insurance covered. After an attempt himself to fix the issue my doctor had stated that it was imperative to get the XXXX done at XXXX. Being that it was the doctor requesting the XXXX it was a necessary measure. At first contact with XXXX I was astonished to hear that I had owed them a large sum of money. I am a XXXX student whom barely can afford to eat and have no way of paying off a medical bill like that. In initial talks with XXXX ( Current insurance provider ) they told me XXXX separate times that it was an XXXX and that they were not able to cover costs. I told them what had happened and assured them that it was the doctor 's wishes and not an XXXX. After the first, of XXXX failed attempts, to get it handled with XXXX I reached out to XXXX. I explained the situation to them and they told me they ca n't do anything about what kind of XXXX the doctor lists it as. Throughout my care I was passed along to XXXX or XXXX different physicians and I know that somewhere in the mix someone decided to list it as an XXXX. Additionally I went in to the XXXX being told that my insurance would cover costs and not once did I ever sign a patient responsibility form or have XXXX mentioned. My provider first hand did not adequately disclose the cost of service to me nor would they allow me to check on cost before hand. 

In my personal and professional opinion I do not owe XXXX or the collection agency any money what so ever. This debt was obviously sold off by XXXX to the highest bidder and I am sure that both parties are now profiting considering a medical organization would just write this off on their taxes. If this debt was transferred to a debt collection agency along with XXXX claiming a " loss '' on their income statement I am sure that I could take them both to court for tax fraud. I am prepared to do what it takes to get this off my record because I have maintained a decent credit history regardless of my many bills and debts I have taken out to provide myself with a quality education.
