I have made XXXX aware of their partner 's behavior. When trying to get to a person, you can't. Instead, you get looped around the phone system and finally disconnected.

Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY (FL)

On XX/XX/2019, I was a victim of credit card fraud. My cards were used while I was at an adult establishment and charged for outrageous amounts with outrageous gratuity amounts added on to the purchases without my authorization. A police report was filed against the merchant and an affidavit stating I did not authorize those purchase and the handwriting on the receipts are forged were submitted to American Express as evidence. The total in charges on two of my american express cards was over {$70000.00}. On multiple occasions the American Express fraud team told me in writing that the fraud case for these charges was closed in my favor and I would not be responsible for any of the charges. However, out of the over {$70000.00} in fraudulent charges American express only credited my account {$13000.00} and now states that I will be responsible for the remaining balance. American Express states that because I was present at the time the cards were being used it can not be considered fraud which is contradictory to Florida Statute 817.61, which states " A person who, with intent to defraud the issuer or a person or organization providing money, goods, services, or anything else of value or any other person, uses, for the purpose of obtaining money, goods, services, or anything else of value, a credit card obtained or retained in violation of this part or a credit card which he or she knows is forged, or who obtains money, goods, services, or anything else of value by representing, without the consent of the cardholder, that he or she is the holder of a specified card or by representing that he or she is the holder of a card and such card has not in fact been issued violates this section. '' Nowhere in the statute does it say that the cardholder must not be present for fraud to occur. The fact that the charges were made without my knowledge and the receipts were forged is more than sufficient for these charges to be considered as fraud. In addition to the fact that these receipts were forged, all of the charges occurred after the legal operating hours for an adult establishment in XXXX XXXX County and documentation of such was also provided to American Express.

Enclosed with this letter, please find a copy of Form 1099-C ( Copy B ) issued by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX for the canceled debt associated with the aforementioned account. The canceled debt has been reported to the IRS, and I have retained this form for my tax records. 

I kindly request that you remove this account from my credit report as it is causing significant harm to my creditworthiness. This negative reporting is particularly detrimental to my ability to acquire housing, as it affects my credit score and financial standing. 

Per guidelines outlined by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), I am entitled to accurate and fair credit reporting. Given that the debt has been canceled and properly reported to the IRS, its continued presence on my credit report is unwarranted and misleading. 

I would appreciate your prompt attention to this matter. Please investigate and remove the inaccurate reporting in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and CFPB guidelines. 

Should you require any further information or documentation regarding this request, please do not hesitate to contact me at XXXX or XXXX. 

Thank you for your cooperation and assistance in resolving this issue. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX Enclosure : Copy of Form 1099-C ( Cancellation of Debt ) - Copy B
