Issue: False statements or representation — Attempted to collect wrong amount
Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY (TX)

Due to a family death and the XXXX pandemic, I have been affected financially. I fell behind on payments for all three of my accounts. 
In XXXX, I contacted Amex via telephone and I also chatted online with Amex on several occasion, the last being a live chat requesting information regarding your Financial Relief Program. Unfortunately, according to your representative, I did not qualify for your program. I was never over 90 days late on either of my accounts. Two of my accounts have now been canceled. I went online in XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, and XX/XX/2020 to pay as much as I could. All but one account allowed me to make payments. My American Express Business did not allow to make a payment. I called American Express in XXXX and was told this account no longer belonged to American Express. My Amex Business account was sent/sold off to a collection agency. I tried on several occasion to make payments online with no avail due to the portal veered me to a different Amex program. I have been sued by American Express and I am currently on a payment plan with a law firm. However, American Express still allows me to sign in to my accounts online and make payments. 
For three months, I was not able to call or chat with anyone at American Express. When I was finally able, I tried to get back on track. However, not one American Express representative showed compassion or was willing to help me. The last word I received from one of your representatives on XX/XX/2020, was your green card is 72 days past due and this card will be cancelled as well. 
This has affected my credit score, not allowing me to qualify for any assistance. 
I have disputed this matter with American Express. This has violated the Texas Consumer Law, the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Laws, The Fair Debt Collection Practice Act, and especially your American Express Mission ethics and slogan.

They reported negative and defaming information beginning XXXX of 2018. I have been denied credit and my creditworthiness has been compromised.

XXXX XXXX  has denied my Identity Theft Claim stating that the information is accurate but have yet to provide any proof that I am not a victim of Identity Theft. XXXX claimed that The Slate account ending in XXXX was opened on XX/XX/2017. This account was fraudulently used a result of Identity Theft. 

Furthermore, during the periods of XXXX I have been living outside of the United States as a resident of XXXX. Therefore, any account activity during this period was made fraudulently without my knowledge as a result of Identity Theft. Any payments that was made to XXXX XXXX  was NOT made from me as I was living in XXXX. Any account usage during this period was NOT made by me.

I have attached a copy of my Identification card issued by the XXXX Of XXXX.

Company: Amsher Collection Services, Inc. (NY)

am hereby requesting that you confirm the fact that I owe this debt as required by any applicable state and federal laws. Please contact the creditor to obtain verification. 

In addition, under the provisions of state and federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), and related consumer statutes, I am hereby instructing you to cease collection of the debt while efforts are made to obtain verification. Until you resolve this error with the creditor, you should neither contact me nor anyone else except the creditor about this collection. 

Furthermore, any reporting of this matter to credit reporting agencies is premature. Until you have investigated my dispute, you should not relay negative information to a credit reporting agency. If negative information has already been reported, you must notify the agency to remove said report until the investigative process is over so that my credit report remains accurate, or at the very least, my credit report should be updated to reflect my dispute. 

Your next contact with me should be to either notice that the creditor has failed to provide verification of the debt and that the matter has been closed or that you believe that this debt is valid and are providing proof of my responsibility. If the former, please confirm that I am not being held responsible for the debt in writing and also that if the account has already been noted on my credit report, that you will contact the bureau ( s ) in question to have the account removed. If the latter, I expect that you will provide me with an explanation as to why you have decided not to remove this account from collections and a copy of all documents relevant to the debt such as the application, bills, records of communications and payments, and any other data that indicates my responsibility. 

I am instructing you not to contact any third parties such as my employer, neighbors, friends or family members. In addition, you may not contact me by phone at work or at my home about this collection activity. All future correspondence should be sent to me in writing. 

Please acknowledge that you have received this notice within 14 days.

This particular account situation that is lately filing on my own credit document has a seriously unfavorable relation to my personal ability to obtain a present loan application. I highly recommend you generate verification that SYNCB/CARE CREDIT has been reported completely in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act regulations, it's really a serious problem to mis-report. Moreconfirmation of the aforesaid item too. My proper request mustover, I was never 30 days/60 days/120 days late in any of my payments and I'm not greatly tuned in to the date opened so I prefer to ask you be investigated as soon as possible and confirmed to be correct. Thanks!
