Sent notarized letters to request for a thorough investigation of my credit report. Requested old addresses and names no longer used to be removed. But they remain. Requested information on how validation was acquired, and received no information regarding the method used to validate the accuracy of the report. Disputed online and sent three letters requesting the information, the last letter dated XX/XX/2023. The information requested was not provided. Accounts were removed from the report and placed back on again. Each agency reports ( XXXX, XXXX, and TransUnion ) reporting different information, ( i.e. last payment dates, open accounts showing closed on one report and charged off on another. Late payments of XXXX dates showing on one report and 150 days on another, or profit and loss ). This has caused me hardships and an inability to be able to acquire credit. Unable to receive a printed letter from TransUnion and can not access my report online without having to become a member.

Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement
Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY (NJ)

I was scammed by a spoof website pretending to be an actual hotel that I was looking to reserve a room from. 
Whay happened is as follows : I searched a specific hotel but somehow was forwarder to another website when I clicked on the hotel 's website through some sort of browser manipulation. 
This was unknown to me at the time. I was shown the price of the room ( on the identical webpage as the actual hotel ). I selected and clicked reserve. I was somehow then charged hundreds of additional dollars in fees over the amount shown on the screen in an email conformation from a stie I never heard of, nor did I think I did business with. 
I immediately called the number on the email and stated my dismay and concern and was told I could immediately cancel and not be charged since it was still " pending ''. 
I rebooked the exact same room moments later, this time with Amex travel services since I did not know what was going on or how this happened and thought my browser may have been compromised. 
I consequently paid twice for the exact same stay, as the spoof website kept the money and did not reverse the charge. 
I called AMEX to explain but the company sent in a response that it is the hotels policy to keep the money and there are no cancellations. 
The actual hotel reports receiving NO money, deposit or initial reservation, as I stayed in the hotel anyway through Amex travel services on the same nights and selected room and inquired upon check in since I was told I could cancel and have the charge reversed from pending to decline. 
Upon informing AMEX of the situation after receiving my monthly statement the scam travel website is now stating it paid the money to the hotel and does not have it. 
I would have never paid for the same room twice. What person would not have absorbed the extra fees as a result of the mistake instead of paying double for the same room??? I was not assured I could cancel at no charge, yet the company is now disputing and not handing over the tape of the conversation. The charge for the rebook was only done 4 or 5 minutes after the first one. 
Seems there is NO CUSTOMER service department to speak to me FROM THE FAKE TRAVEL SITE but one apparently is disputing the chargeback! 
THE CHARGE EVEN APPEARS ON MY CREDIT CARD STATEMENT AS THE ACTUAL HOTEL!!!! How is this legal??? 
There is no receipt of the money being sent to the real hotel either. What kind of company is this? The online reviews all state the exact same thing. All the people say they clicked on the real website but were somehow sent to this one and overcharged, told they could cancel for free, then charged anyway with no hope of a refund. HELP!!!!
