Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY (NE)

Follow-Up on Complaint XXXXXXXX  Violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) by AMERICAN EXPRESS and XXXX I previously submitted a formal complaint on XX/XX/XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX concerning the unauthorized and inaccurate reporting by AMERICAN EXPRESS on my credit report and the subsequent denial of my fraud block request by XXXX. Despite my repeated requests, XXXX has declined to take appropriate action, and the inaccurate information remains on my report. 

As outlined under 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2, consumer reporting agencies are required to block the reporting of fraudulent information within 4 business days of receiving a valid request. It has been over 30 days since my original notification on XX/XX/XXXX, and both AMERICAN EXPRESS and XXXX have failed to provide the necessary documentation to validate the alleged debt. 

Impact of Your Noncompliance : Due to your failure to address this issue, I have suffered damages, including but not limited to : Lower credit score : Leading to denials of credit or unfavorable financial terms. 
Emotional distress : Resulting from the inaccurate information on my credit report. 
Financial harm : Due to credit denials and higher interest rates. 


I request the immediate removal of the inaccurate information from my credit report. If the information is not removed, I will be forced to pursue legal action to recover damages, including statutory and punitive damages, along with attorneys fees. 

Additionally, I invoke Estoppel by Silence, as neither AMERICAN EXPRESS nor XXXX has provided the required evidence within the necessary timeframe. Failure to resolve this matter promptly will leave me no choice but to pursue legal remedies under 15 U.S. Code 1681n. 

I look forward to your swift resolution.

Upon reviewing my credit report, I discovered several accounts that I do not recognize and believe to be fraudulent. These accounts appear to be opened without my authorization, and I am deeply concerned about the potential impact on my credit standing and financial well-being. I suspect that I am a victim of identity theft, as I have not initiated or authorized the opening of these accounts. The presence of these unauthorized accounts on my credit report has caused me significant distress and uncertainty about the security of my personal information. I have attached a copy of my credit report highlighting the unrecognized accounts for your reference.

I am writing to formally dispute the presence of unauthorized and inaccurate accounts and inquiries on my credit report, which I received on [ Date of Credit Report ]. After a careful review, I have identified multiple accounts and credit inquiries that I did not initiate, authorize, or recognize. These entries appear to have been added to my credit report in error or as a result of fraudulent activity.The inclusion of these erroneous items has unfairly impacted my credit score and overall financial standing. This matter is causing significant concern, as my credit history is being unjustly damaged by information that is neither accurate nor reflective of my true financial activities.

Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: Freedom Mortgage Company (CA)

On Wednesday, XXXX XXXX, XXXX I received a letter informing me that I had canceled my insurance and that my mortgage company, Freedom Mortgage, would be providing me with hazard insurance at a high rate. I had know idea that my insurance had been canceled. I was n't overly concerned because I had received one of these letters about two years ago.
When I called Freedom Mortgage they informed me that they had sent my insurance payment, but it had been returned. They told me that they sent my payment to the wrong address. And that XXXX XXXX had canceled our policy 6 weeks ago. I told them that I was unaware of any problem. They said two letters were sent from XXXX. They asked if I would hold while they contacted XXXX XXXX. After 5 minutes they came back on the line and said they were talking to XXXX, The mortgage representative said she hoped they would take an overnight payment. She came back on the phone and informed me that XXXX refused. I needed to call my agent and rewrite the policy. I was extreme frustrated and overwhelmed. The next day I was having roofers show up and I had no liability insurance. The response from Freedom was that is an inconvenience. There was no admission of guilt or apology. I asked for a supervisor and was told it was a one to two day call back time. She connected me to a higher level. At one point in my anger I asked if I needed to contact the tax collector to see if they had paid my property taxes, and I was told not to be ridiculous. I could n't believe how flip they were. 

I called my agent, but he was very confused and said he had to check somethings. I then decide to call XXXX myself. I connected with a very helpful agent. There records did n't show any calls from Freedom Mortgage that day. He offered to call them and see if they would send a payment immediately. He also informed me that no letters had been sent to me, but three bills had been sent to Freedom. He put me on hold, and called them. Freedom was willing to send a payment right away, and some how found the correct address.
It is amazing to me that Freedom Mortgage lied to me about everything. They risked my home and my financial safety. I have never missed a payment or been late. This is the second time they have put my security at risk..
