Second request was XX/XX/2023. For me not clear the reason I was turned down with a request and what was the result after 6 months? I think that supposed to be some kind of a report or a notice of automatically consideration, but representative by the phone said that theres nothing about it. Both written responses saying that it couldnt be done to this type of account. The only answer by the phone I received that I have to wait a year. Not clear what I have to wait for and why so, because after a year response could the same and wait another year. Written response confronted product information on the website.

Company: FIRST PORTFOLIO SERVICING INC (TN)

I reached out to the company due to receiving " payment settlement '' emails from XXXX through XXXX. I spoke with a representative on XX/XX/XXXX to set up a monthly auto payment agreement that would allow me to pay smaller portions of my balance. At the time the monthly auto payment was set up, I was told that I had to make a one-time payment on that day, then the monthly auto payment would start in XXXX, around the XXXX of every month as I requested. I was also advised that the account would show " closed '' for XXXX months until the agreement was done. My payments were successful for the first two months, then I noticed nothing had been deducted for XXXX. I contacted the company and the representative stated that I failed to make payment even though I explained I was already approved for a monthly auto plan. Now, this is hurting my credit tremendously and I want this removed from all three credit bureaus : XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX immediately!! I will seek litigation for this if it is not immediately updated.

Product: Prepaid card — Gift card
Issue: Trouble using the card — Trouble using the card to spend money in a store or online
Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY (CA)

I received an amex gift card from my boss a couple years ago for {$100.00}. I have saved it for an emergency and when I tried to use it- it was declined. I called and tried to check the balance and it said that there was a problem with the card, not anything about the balance. Transferred to a customer service person - who said they needed to look into my card. They asked me for a lot of information which was concerning to me - name, address, phone #, email. They said they needed to open a case and it would take 7-14 days which was also concerning because the whole reason I was trying to use this card for an emergency purchase. ( When that emergency purchase couldn't be made, I tried to use it for another purchase just to see if it was the previous vendor- but that transaction was declined as well. ) I asked to speak to a supervisor to see if I could get this taken care of any faster and when I balked at all the information they wanted, I was put on hold for an hour and half. I called again - and then the new guy said that all of sudden there was no balance on the card - only XXXX cents left. I almost feel like they went and used the card themselves since I had provided all the information. They came up with some charge in XXXX that the card was used for on paypal - I do not use XXXX - and that this card was depleted. Now they opened a fraud case and say it could take 45 days to reach a decision?! That seems outrageous. 
It is sad that a card I had saved to use for a much needed purchase wasn't able to be used. And even more sad - that a company I had thought of as having excellent customer service has now become a run around. I looked on reddit and this has happened to so many people. Does Amex know that their cards arent working? Does Amex get all that money when we can't use the cards? It seems very fishy. Or maybe the Amex employees are taking old cards and using them and then saying they are depleted. Its sad.
