Company: Portfolio Recovery Associates, LLC
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
I have been disputing a debt that has never been properly verified as mine and has been repeatedly sold and transferred between different collection agencies. I submitted documentation showing that the account has changed hands multiple times and contains inaccurate information regarding the original date it was opened. Despite this, XXXX has not provided meaningful assistance and appears to consistently side with Portfolio Recovery Associates without proper investigation. Most recently, I received an email regarding the reinvestigation, but it failed to include the actual results, leaving the matter unresolved.

Issue: Closing your account — Company closed your account
Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am writing to file a formal complaint against American Express ( AMEX ) regarding their abrupt and arbitrary closure of my credit card account, which has resulted in the loss of my accumulated Membership Rewards ( MR ) points. 

On XX/XX/year>, American Express closed my account without prior warning or clear justification. I have consistently met my payment obligations and maintained responsible usage of my account. Despite this, my account was closed unilaterally, and I was denied access to the rewards points I had legitimately earned. 

At the time of closure, my account had a balance of approximately XXXX Membership Rewards points. These points represent real value, earned through eligible purchases under the terms of the AMEX rewards program. American Express 's action not only deprived me of access to these points but also violated the trust and expectations established under our cardholder agreement. 

I have contacted AMEX customer service multiple times in an effort to resolve this matter, requesting either reinstatement of access to my points or compensation equivalent to their cash value. However, AMEX has refused to offer any reasonable solution. Their refusal to allow point redemption or offer alternative compensation ( such as issuing a check equivalent to the point value ) is unfair and predatory.

Product: Student loan — Private student loan
Issue: Struggling to repay your loan — Can't get other flexible options for repaying your loan
Company: LendKey Technologies, Inc.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I have a private student loan through LendKey, originated by XXXX XXXX. On XX/XX/year>, I requested forbearance, but my request was denied due to having exhausted the allowed months. I immediately followed up by phone to ask for alternative hardship options such as reduced payments or deferment. I was transferred to the refinancing department, which is not a viable solution for me due to my current financial instability. 

I then submitted a formal hardship letter via email ( XXXX ), clearly outlining that my student loan payment of {$1700.00} is unmanageable alongside other obligations including my car note, credit card bills, a monthly debt relief program, and rent. 

I have asked for a temporary hardship plan or modified payment options, but I have not received a workable response. I am not seeking to avoid responsibility for my loan only to make payments that reflect my ability to pay during a time of hardship. 

I am requesting the CFPBs support in prompting LendKey to offer a fair and reasonable temporary solution, as I fear falling into delinquency despite my good faith efforts to work with them.
