Complaint narrative:
My account was never late! I have had exceptional payment history all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment.

This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family!

I demand the late payment to be updated.

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law!

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date.

Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided.

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer!

Update the late payments from my consumer reports

Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
Im reaching out to clarify and resolve ongoing conflicting information regarding my welcome bonus. When I applied for the Platinum card in XX/XX/year>, I was informed that my welcome bonus would be adjusted to XXXX points due to my existing AMEX card ( a Blue XXXX card, not a XXXX  card with the {$690.00} annual fee ). Based on this assurance, I proceeded with the application. 

After meeting the sign-up bonus eligibility criteria, I followed up with AMEX customer service in XXXX. They opened a case but never provided an update. After additional follow-ups, I was assured in XXXX that I would receive the bonus since I have never held a XXXX  card before. 

Subsequently, I raised a complaint with CPFB ( Reference No : XXXX ). However, AMEX responded with inaccurate information, claiming that I was informed at the time of sign-up that I was not eligible for the welcome offer, contradicting earlier assurances and at the same time, regretting past miscommunications. 

This inconsistent communication from AMEX has been ongoing since the beginning, creating unnecessary confusion and frustration. I would greatly appreciate your help in thoroughly reviewing this case and ensuring that the promised welcome bonus is honored. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt response.

I was recommended for investing in bitcoin mining through bitcoin app. I invested about XXXX $ the further to next day i logged into the account all of the money wasnt there anymore. I reached out to the merchant XXXX that authorizes the transfers from your bank to the application and they were unable to help. They told me to contact my bank. Several days later from reaching out to my bank ( capital one ) my claim was denied and then reopened with pictures of the money in the app and conversations from the person i was investing through. I waited again and my claim was still denied for fraudulent/ scam transactions because they found that i made the transaction to the app. They are unable to get my money back and help me further the situation because i authorized the transaction.
