Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY (MS)

I am just trying to figure out some things with my American Express account. When it was opened in XXXX, I loved it. It was perfect, I upgraded my account to one with an annual fee for extra awards. Until around XX/XX/XXXX when I rerouted my bank accounts due to fraud and forgot to update them, I had multiple returned payments on amex ; as well as other card companies. So unfortunately they did close my account due to those in or around XXXX XXXX Come to XXXX XXXX XXXX I was trying to pay my bill and I no longer had access to my online account. It says Error or something so I try my app and it says contact the number on the back of my card. I do not have my card. I cut it up because they closed my account. They revoked online access for me to pay my bills. So I called and they don't have the last 4 of my SSN in their database anymore and I don't have my card number. So I had no idea on what to do. I waited until the next month to try and call again unknowingly forgetting to make a payment because of what American Express had done. They put a 30 day late on my credit report and I call the number on the report and that is the only way I was able to get on the phone with someone without my card number. I had to use what XXXX provided. So I fully pay off the account, notice how I say fully. Then they say they can reroute my account back to normal payment standing, and they would transfer me over to someone in customer service who can do that. I get transferred to the automated bot who needs my account number. I do not have my account number/ credit card number because American Express closed my account!!! So I am back at square one and I forget about it and take the 30 day hit. Come XXXX I get a bill for XXXX XXXX and some change. What? I paid off the bill. You don't charge interest if the bill is fully paid off. I have no way to get in contact with anyone. I am not good with technology but I looked on American Express website about what to do with late payments and they said submit a CFPB complaint. So in Goodwill, please

Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc (VA)

I contacted PayPal about a seller named XXXX XXXX who runs a company called XXXX. The items were on a payment plan and PayPal has the invoice as it was created using their system. In XXXX of XXXX I sent XXXX a message stating that I needed her to send some of my items since I paid well over {$5000.00} ( it was crystals ). She stated that I needed to pay the entire balance before she sent me any of the crystals. I told her that thats not right and she combined the invoices to make one invoice. She stated that she would get back to me about the shipping costs. In XXXX of XXXX I reached out to XXXX XXXX and told her to send me the shipping invoice for the crystals by XX/XX/XXXX. She didnt send it. 

In mid XXXX she sends me a message and says that she is being kicked out XXXX and needs me to pay for shipping by XX/XX/XXXX. I told XXXX XXXX that I told her to get back to me by XX/XX/XXXX as that is when my check comes. I also told her that I needed additional time as my military pension is paid at the end of the month. XXXX refused to to refund me and refused to ship my items. She kept over {$5400.00}. She scammed me. 

I reached out to PayPal and they told me that since it was over 180 days they will not return ny money. Even though they have received multiple complaints about this seller and her non shipping. This was XXXX. In the case of XXXX they should refund me my money. PayPal instructed me to sue her. I can not Sue an overseas person. I live in the United States. 

Furthermore XXXX XXXX also lied. She never left XXXX as she said she was and her last shipping date was XX/XX/XXXX. She had ample time to allow me to pay for shipping. However XXXX XXXX resold my items on XXXX and kept my money. 

PayPal also lied. They returned other peoples money far beyond the 180 days and I have evidence of that. When I alerted them they told me that they can not discuss other accounts with me. However it is clear bias as I was scammed by a customer. That is wire XXXX

Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc. (MO)

Subject : Unauthorized Credit Reporting and Demand for Resolution Reference to Federal and XXXX XXXX Laws Dear XXXX, I am writing to address a blatant violation regarding the unauthorized reporting of information to my credit report, as confirmed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) under Sections 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ), 1681c ( a ) ( 2 ), and 1681s-2 ( a ), and the relevant identity fraud laws in XXXX XXXX. 

It has unequivocally come to my attention that XXXX has engaged in unauthorized reporting to my credit report without obtaining my explicit consent. Federal law, as outlined in the FCRA, explicitly mandates that the consent of the consumer is a non-negotiable requirement for such reporting activities under Section 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ). 

In addition to federal law, Missouri state law, particularly as applied within XXXX XXXX, underscores the necessity of consumer consent for credit reporting. Identity fraud laws in XXXX XXXX highlight the severity of unauthorized access and misuse of personal information, which parallels the protections afforded under the FCRA. 

I assert with unwavering certainty that I have not provided consent for XXXX to report any information to my credit report. This undeniable lack of explicit permission constitutes a blatant violation of my rights, resulting in potential damage to my creditworthiness and an unequivocal disregard for federal and state laws. 

I demand, with the utmost certainty, that XXXX immediately ceases any further reporting of information to my credit report without obtaining my explicit consent, as mandated by Section 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ) of the FCRA. Failure to comply within the stipulated 30-day timeframe will be viewed as willful noncompliance, subject to penalties under applicable laws, including identity fraud laws specific to XXXX XXXX XXXX 

I emphasize that obtaining consent is not a discretionary choice but a legal obligation under these specific sections of the FCRA and identity fraud laws. This is not a negotiation ; it is a demand for compliance with both federal and XXXX XXXX regulations, protecting consumers like myself from unauthorized and damaging credit reporting. 

I anticipate your immediate attention to this matter and expect that XXXX will promptly rectify these egregious violations, respecting my rights under federal and state laws. 

Done in good faith. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

I filed a dispute for incorrect information on my credit report. I received an email from the credit bureau stating that they are assuming the disputes are coming from a 3rd party. They in fact did not come from a 3rd party. l even called them to verify it was me and they still refused to process my disputes. I wasted money on mailing my disputes out. I sent personal information to verify my identity through mail, just for them to not thoroughly investigate.
