Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint against Equifax for the continued reporting of inaccurate late payment entries, despite my dispute under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). The accounts in question are : XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX .The late payment notations are the direct result of the furnishers internal reporting errors. I never failed to make timely payments on these accounts. The furnishers misreported my payment history to Equifax, yet Equifax continues to publish this inaccurate information on my credit file. I previously disputed these inaccuracies with Experian under FCRA 1681i, which requires them to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation and delete or correct any information found to be inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable. Equifax failed to conduct a proper investigation and continues to report these unverifiable late payments. Per FCRA 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), furnishers are prohibited from reporting information they knowor have reasonable cause to believeis inaccurate. Despite this, Equifaxs reinvestigation process failed to identify or correct these reporting Hide full complaint errors. These false late payment entries have caused significant damage to my creditworthiness, emotional distress, and financial harm, as they have negatively impacted my credit score and ability to obtain favorable credit terms.

Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX, XX/XX/year>, I submitted a request to cancel my personal american express credit card via Chat option. The customer service rep, XXXX, sent a disclaimer to read before I formally requested at XXXX. The view of the chat box I saw is the first snip of the chat on an attachment. I answered " Yes '' after it asked if I still wanted to continue. However, becuase of the view of the Chat, I didnt realize there was other writing above what I currently saw on my screen. The view did not show the whole disclaimer, which stated rewards will be forfeited. I then went to try to redeem all of my points I had accumulated ( XXXX ) and it would not go through. I came back to the chat immediately ( 3 minutes later at XXXX ), and said " hold on, I am trying to use my points and it wont go through ''. 
The customer service rep confirmed I had XXXX points available to use. He then stated ( at XXXX ) the cancellation has not yet gone through, and asked what redemption I was selecting. after I told him what I was trying to select, at XXXX he then stated I consented to forfeit all of my rewards since I agreed to the disclosure. I asked him if my points can transfer to my corporate american express card, and he stated no, because I forfeited the point and they no longer exist. 
XXXX point converts to about XXXX XXXX 
In summary, I tried to redeem my points at XXXX XXXX  and they didnt go through. however, the rep stated at XXXX he could see I still had my points, and at XXXX the cancellation was not processed yet. So I should have been able to redeem my points before the cancellation was processed. Also I feel the chatbox view on a smartphone is deceiving, as you have to scroll up to read all of the disclaimer.
