Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. (VT)

I got a letter in the mail saying that after careful consideration it was decided that my credit card account was being closed because of my association with a chase credit card, deposit or investment account that was previously closed. I do not have any other accounts with chase that could have been closed or any association. On the letter it says if you have questions to call the number provided. When I called the number they said they could not tell me reason that my card account was being closed. I asked if I could speak to someone else that could tell me and the operator told me that no one else would be able to tell me either. I have not been late on any payments and am really confused. If I did something wrong Id like to know so I can make sure to not do the same thing in the future, but I have no idea why they are canceling my card and can not get an explanation. Im a little worried that this is somehow a scam because it doesnt really make any sense.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (PA)

During one of my frequent checks with the XXXX major credit bureaus, I learned that Experian has my mother 's name listed on my credit file under " aliases '' and that makes no sense to me at all as I've never used my mother 's name or information, nor do I even know her social security number. I reached out to Experian back in XXXX and as far as I knew the matter had been cleared up entirely, until my mother asked me about a week ago why her name is on my credit file when she was checking her credit scores separately. There is a record of my disputing it with experian, with a status of " updated '', however, my mother 's name is still listed in the same place as an " alias '' of mine.

Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Fees or interest — Charged too much interest
Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY (FL)

On my American Express Platinum Card, I was charged {$550.00} in interest cost, posting on my statement on XX/XX/2023, which I believe was an overcharge. 

I first approached American Express Customer Care using Chat Function on XX/XX/2023. The Professional Rep indicated that interest charge resulted from {$960.00} that went unpaid for 25 days. After he or she was unable to authenticate the interest charge, the Rep pledged to open an investigation to validate interest charge calculation ( XXXX ), but failed to do so or follow up with me. I saved the Chat Transcript. 

Next, on XX/XX/2023, I followed up with American Express again. Similarly, the Professional Rep had no knowledge of my prior inquiry or concern on the interest rate overcharge, nor a record of the prior investigation. I also saved this Chat Transcript. I allowed 3 weeks for them to resolve and follow up with me, and they haven't done so.
