They never provide any documentation substantiating with evidence or information to report the late payment on the XXXX XXXX account.

It also states a consumer reporting agency can not furnish an account without my written instructions under 15 USCS 1666b.

Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Trouble using your card — Credit card company won't increase or decrease your credit limit
Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/XXXX I received an email from American Express that my credit limit had been reduced from $ XXXX to $ XXXX. The decrease was made to barely above my current balance. The company provided a generic response as to why but with no specifics to my account. The past statements show interest charge amounts that as soon as the company charges their interest fees then the balance will go over the credit limit. It is the company 's way to unfairly get more money out of their customers and stop the use of their credit card while still charging yearly fees. Customers can not close their accounts without credit score being lowered. ALSO, once available credit amount decreases so does credit score. Ultimately, what is happening is THE definition of predatory.
