Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
American Express XXXX sent a response regarding the initial complaint indicating that my account was late and stated such fee could not be waived as it was applied correctly, as my complaint was frivolous and they were indeed correct. When I sent the remittance coupon to the corporation it was on time and was sent days before the due date. The corporation is refusing to accept the remittance coupon because I caught onto their embezzling scheme of stating that I owed them a debt when in fact all bills are prepaid and the remittance coupon was accepted for value. They are refusing to acknowledge that all debt is prepaid and in addition, banks do not loan anything out. The very funds that I have been using has been in fact coming from my strawmans account. They are also in violation of several laws by refusing to accept and acknowledge that according to HJR192, UCC 3-603, UCC 3-104 , UCC1-308, 12 USC 411, UCC 3- 419 , 18 USC 8 states the value of what currency is and that all debt are prepaid and are a negotiable instrument. They are also within violation of 12 CFR 215.3 - Extension of credit. and according to their claims it is based upon the history of my payment history, etc.

The dispute items do not belong to me. Im attaching the required FTC Report for you and the bank 's records ( learned through more research both parties require )., I found that under section 605b ( a ) Experian, XXXX, and XXXX shall block the reporting of any information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from an alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date of receipt and it requires the following documents and statement to remove the disputed accounts on my file : ( 1 ) Appropriate proof of the identity of the consumer ; ( 2 ) A copy of an identity theft report ; ( 3 ) The identification of such information by the consumer ; and ( 4 ) A statement by the consumer that the information is not information relating to any transaction by the consumer.
