Product: Debt collection — Credit card debt
Issue: Threatened to contact someone or share information improperly — Talked to a third-party about your debt
Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY (FL)

XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) is a process server that was hired in my case American Express National Bank v. XXXX XXXX XXXX to legally serve me with a lawsuit. 

On XX/XX/2022, I was contacted by my sister. She informed me that XXXX XXXX XXXX went to my fathers house in XXXX XXXX, FL. According to my dad and my sister, XXXX was attempting to serve a warrant regarding a debt with American Express. I have attached a picture of a text message that was sent to me by my sister. I asked my sister if she meant lawsuit instead of warrant. She said no- the person attempting to serve the papers to my father at the incorrect address referred to the papers as a warrant ( inferring an arrest or legal issues with the law ). In addition, it bothers me that XXXX XXXX XXXX gave my father specific information regarding my debt, including the amount owed and that the debt is due to American Express. 

This is legally problematic due to several issues. ( 1 ) XXXX XXXX XXXX members of my debt, who it is owed to, and the amount owed. ( 2 ) The representative of XXXX that contacted my father, XXXX XXXX, referred to the lawsuit as a 'warrant ' to my father, possibly implying that I was in some sort of legal trouble with police. ( 3 ) My father, the person to whom the process server spoke to at his home, is my abuser. My abusive father now knows about my debt. ( 4 ) I have mental issues including XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX related to my family and my father. This incident, including having the incident reported to me by my abusive family, has caused me significant problems with my mental disorders. I had to temporarily increase my medication, and I had to make an emergency mental health appointment. Even typing about this incident and having to relive it in my head is causing me additional mental anguish and anxiety.

Company: ACIMA CREDIT, LLC (DE)

I was able to take a look at my consumer report. I have found that Acima Digital Fka Simp are using abusive, deceptive and unfair debt collection practices to collect on the alleged debt in reference. I am a natural person, a federally protected consumer, and the original creditor defined under 15 USC 1602 ( g ). I extended credit to Acima Digital Fka Simp to obtain a vehicle. The vehicle which is subject to the transaction was used primarily for personal, family and household purposes. All extensions of credit are deferred under code 18 USC 891 ( XXXX ). Acima Digital Fka Simp is engaged in extortion and racketeering activity by attempting to collect this debt under Title 18 XXXX XXXX  Failure to make the repayment of this alleged debt has resulted in the use of criminal means by causing harm to my reputation. My consumer report does not include a report containing information solely as to transactions or experiences, furnishing late payments are a violation of 15 USC 1681a ( d ) ( 2 ) ( i ). I never received adequate notice that sets for the pertinent facts for this consumer credit transaction which violates 15 USC 1602 ( k ). Acima Digital Fka Simp has benefited from my uninformed use of credit. The only decision I was given after the consummation of the transaction was to make payments without penalty which is a violation of 18 USC 880. I, the consumer, have never been given the opportunity to direct that my nonpublic personal information should not be disclosed to nonaffiliated third parties such as XXXX, XXXX and XXXX pursuant to 15 USC 6802 ( b ) ( 1 ) ( B ). Nor was I given an explanation on how to exercise the nondisclosure option which is a violation of 15 USC 6802 ( b ) ( 1 ) ( C ). Their conspiracy against my rights is affecting my ability to operate in commerce. This is a violation of 15 U.S. Code 1. I am requesting documentary evidence specifically the book of account under 15 USC 44 to validate this alleged debt.

Issue: Closing your account — Can't close your account
Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY (CA)

I used to have an American Express credit card. Back in XXXX I closed the account. Years later in XXXX I noticed I was still being charged an annual fee for the credit card that I closed. I called American express and opened a claim requesting to close the account and also get reimbursed for the incorrect annual fee they were charging. The service rep saw that I did not use the credit card for years and told me they will close the card and issue a credit. It never happened. They never credited me the annual fee despite the fact I closed the card years ago, and they also never closed my card. I asked them to close my card multiple times. I recently saw they put the card in collections for 2-3 annual fees. This has had a negative impact on my credit score. If we look into my transaction history you can see the card has never been used in years. Also, I was informed that my customer service calls are all recorded so my story can be verified. I am very disappointed with XXXX. This is such an inconvenience and is financially damaging.

Im not happy with the way your company is handling my disputes. My next step in this matter is to file complaints with the Attorney Generals Office in your state and my state if this matter is not fixed. You sent me a letter stating that the accounts were verified but you said nothing on how the account was verified. You sent me no documents or information that your company relied on to verify the account below. These accounts listed below are problematic and the need to be reinvestigated. 
Its your duty, mandated by law, to reinvestigate any dispute sent by consumers. The furnisher never provided any proof to me that that account listed above was reported 100 % accurate. Im telling you that Im ready to initiate my own investigation by filing complaints with the Attorney Generals Office in my state and yours if the above items are not deleted ASAP.

As a result of the improper removal of these accounts, the length of my credit history appears to be shorter than it actually is. Currently, my Experian score is XXXX XXXX  below XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. One of the accounts Experian removed is still open ; the other two should be on my credit report until XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. The other credit bureaus ( XXXX, XXXX ) are still listing them. 

Further, when I tried over a dozen times to reach Experian by phone and email, I got the runaround multiple times and was finally given a phone number that will not connect to a live agent ( and their email support refuses to help altogether ). 

The accounts in question are : - XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX with XXXX - ending in XXXX ( closed, last updated XX/XX/XXXX ; listed by XXXX ) XXXX XXXX  XXXX acct starting XXXX - ending XXXX ( closed, last updated XX/XX/XXXX ; listed by XXXX ) XXXX XXXX acct XXXX XXXX - ending XXXX ( still open ; listed by XXXX, XXXX )
