Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (IL)

I applied for a loan to purchase a computer. After receiving the laptop, I paid the entire bill without any issues. However, I later began receiving bills for {$7.00} for an account I never signed up for. I contacted the company, and they assured me they would remove the amount and close the account. Although they closed the account as promised, they continued to send me bills and added the amount to my credit report. The bill has now increased to {$77.00} due to growing late fees. I disputed the account, but the three reporting agencies claimed it was accurate. I was unaware of the existence of this secondary account. The company should have disclosed this information to me. I would have informed them that I did not require the additional services if they had. The purchase came with a warranty. My sole intention was to purchase a computer. I urgently need assistance removing this incorrect information from my credit report, as it shows that I was late in paying a bill that I was unaware of.

Issue: Wrong amount charged or received — 
Company: Affirm Holdings, Inc (CA)

I requested a loan with Affirm for XXXXXXXX  ( airline tickets ) on XX/XX/XXXX, in the amount of {$1900.00} as I thought I needed to add additional funds to cover fees, however the amount I used was {$1500.00} +fee for total paid of {$1600.00} which has been paid in full of an adjusted amount of {$390.00} by Affirm Inc. XXXX XX/XX/XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX 
The amount of the purchase by virtual card was not {$1900.00} and they are reporting to XXXX as account settled which is inaccurate. I have tried to resolve this directly with them several times and they said would send me a letter to provide to the credit reporting agencies but have failed to do it and this has impacted my credit score. This false information they are reporting. I opened a dispute with XXXX on XX/XX/XXXXXXXX  and spoke to XXXX again on XX/XX/XXXXXXXX

Product: Credit card or prepaid card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Other features, terms, or problems — Problem with rewards from credit card
Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY (NJ)

On XX/XX/XXXX, all my ( hundreds of thousands of ) American Express Membership Rewards ( MR ) points were frozen, per telephone inquiry advice of 2 MR representatives and a supervisor. They explained that the freeze would last up to 8 weeks for a " spin review. '' They said there was no way of knowing why my account was selected for review ( though I've been in good standing with AmEx since opening my account in XX/XX/XXXX ), and that there was no way to expedite the review and allow for my wife and I to secure airline award ticketing of limited availability for our 30th anniversary/retirement. 

The freeze also looks to result in an effective forfeit of 125,000 MR points. It happened immediately after successful online transfer of XXXX points to my linked partner airline frequent flyer program ( XXXX ), and prevented transfer of XXXX points to my wife 's linked XXXX frequent flyer account. I'd have no reason to travel with XXXX without my wife on this trip. 

The MR supervisor said she'd ask her " backroom '' to ask XXXX for my XXXX transferred MR points back from XXXX, but they now belong to XXXX and MR has no right to have the request granted. 

Furthermore there is no information available online indicating anything other than our MR account is in good order, and I have and was told by MR representatives I may not receive anything in writing about the status of my MR account. The supervisor said that I am best not to attempt any further online transfer of points, because that will only cause the " spin review '' to last longer. 

My American Express / MR account web page nonetheless continues to recommend redemption of my points for numerous awards. 

Had I not made a call to MR after attempting transfer of MR points to my wife 's linked XXXX frequent flyer account ( which triggered a pop up notice that the transfer can not be made at this time pending account review ), I would never in my wildest imagination thought that there would be anything more than a short ( 20 minute - 1 hr ) review -- let alone an 8 week review, and that all my reward points were frozen -- not just those I tried to transfer. 

The MR supervisor said she sent a " complaint to corporate, '' but could send me nothing in writing about it, could not identify who/what is " corporate, '' and could not tell me if I would get a response. 

There is also no information about a " spin review '' in any contract terms have with American Express, or any discussion of freezes of MR points. 

I ask that you do what you can to resolve this unacceptable situation, which has taken it's toll. 

Thank you.

After sending numerous written requests, the fraudulent items listed below continue showing on my credit report, flagrantly violating federal law.
