Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. (TX)

The account XXXX was sold but still reports a balance. I know that reading my credit report JPMCB says that the account is a charge off, which is debt that has been discharged and you took a tax write on. After contacting the IRS, they explained that it was illegal that you were reporting this information to my credit report trying to collect or having a charged off status. This is called tax fraud upon the IRS, and you will be reported for such. I demand you to remove this item from my credit report and send the 1099-c so I can audit it to make sure you are in compliance. You violated the FCRA 15 USC 1681eb by reporting information that's not 100 % accurate. The IRS directed me to file form 3949a for illegal tax violations upon your company. I'm quite sure your CEO OR VP would not want to be in court for this matter. Any US Code in the FCRA that any corporation violates the consumer is entitled to actual damages and monetary compensation. See attached credit report.

Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY (WA)

XX/XX/XXXX To whom it may concern : RE : American Express Last XX/XX/XXXX I was given an option to open a Delta Credit card using American Express to save {$400.00} on our ticket. I then proceeded to check out only to find out I am disqualified because my purchase is just over XXXX dollars. I can not split the purchase and am forced to use another credit card to purchase. The Come on Ad then is gone, since I have no reason to go back to Delta, since I have my tickets. The American Express card appears in the mail days later. I can remember we need to spend XXXX dollars to qualify. Which ended up to be only XXXX dollars. It took us the full amount of time ( 3 months ) to spend XXXX dollars. I do not know, I must make a Delta purchase ( which I was denied ) also to qualify. I cant figure out why the credit is still not on our statement after the {$3000.00} purchase. Figuring it is another covid process problem! I made the call to American Express only to find out I had to spend {$1.00} on Delta to qualify for a {$400.00} credit. 
I sent a letter to the AM EX executive office in New York. By the time they return a reply we are in XXXX and without good phone and internet service. I reply ( text ) that we are out of communication and will follow up when we return to the states. 

American Express denies my credit of {$400.00}, but gives {$100.00} for goodwill. 
I then proceed to request documents that I signed to spend money on Delta. No Reply. 
I made a telephone request for the same, No Reply. 
I then called XXXX XXXX several more times only to be able to leave a message. No Reply. 

I feel like I am not the only one this has happened to. 
If I only needed to spend a dollar, I can not understand why they would not honor the {$400.00} credit. 
I obviously feel taken or I would not be writing another letter. In the old days if someone bothered to write a letter it was worth XXXX voices. In todays society I am sure it is many more customers that got the bait and switch. 

I believe I am still owed XXXX dollars.

I was approved and start using it and scheduled two on line payments with emails confirmations. 
1- {$100.00} on XX/XX/XXXX conf. XXXX 2- {$500.00} on XX/XX/XXXX conf. XXXX By XXXX Holidays my wife told me that her card was rejected at the store. I told her that should be fine due may earlier payments. I checked on line, and the payments were reversed and a {$25.00} fee was added. I called to customer service XXXX on Thursday XX/XX/XXXX twice and waited for 45 minutes first and about 30 min hold, no agent took my call while waiting. Finally an agent answer and told me that my account was blocked and I need to call security to XXXX. Called by XXXX a machine asked for my ID info and again wait for about 20 min nobody took my call and I decided to hang up because I've got to work. Called again next day same thing 30 min  on hold no agent to take my call, so I hung up. So XXXX passed by and I went on line on XX/XX/XXXX, and tried to check my payment info to see any errors, I couldn't pay neither could see my payment information but I created A link to my bank account just in case. I start chating to them to look a new way to pay and make them to waive the fee. After chating for a while they told me that they can't help me that I need to call XXXX which I did but same thing It put me on hold and nobody took my call. Call again, and finally an agent answer but she told me that I need to call the XXXX during office hours, because she can't help me at that time. I'm afraid more fee are coming up and I have no way to pay. That's a ridicule and consuming time situation. that costumer service is horrible it tired me up. I just wanted to pay that in full get rid of those fees and close the account but they don't have a branch in XXXX Texas.
