Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY (FL)

On XX/XX/2023 I attempted to change my unit number on my address because I am moving. I changed it online a few months ago but was locked out of my account so I had to call. The representative refused to change my address unless I gave him the three digit code from the back of my card. I do not have my cancelled card on me and I am in a middle of a move so a lot of my stuff is already packed up in boxes. They would not identify me in any other way and would not reset my password so I can have online access. No other companies ( XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX or XXXX ) had any issues with updating my information. 

I have a privacy concern because my statements are being mailed to an address at which I am no longer living, another tenant will have my statements and all of my information. 

American Express is preventing me from having online access to my account and preventing me from accessing to my statements. I am expected to make payments but I have no idea what my balance is or if there is fraud on my account due to them mailing my private information to the wrong address. 

According to Federal Reserve A credit card company must mail or deliver your credit card bill at least 21 days before your payment is due. American Express is refusing to deliver my information to the correct address as they will not make an update. 

The rep claimed that there is no other way to identify me ( I offered to send my ID, written and notarized letter and my social, as well as answer any questions ). The call ended as the rep hung up on me.
