Product: Prepaid card — General-purpose prepaid card
Issue: Trouble using the card — Trouble using the card to spend money in a store or online
Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I received a {$150.00} Amex e-gift card on XX/XX/2023. According to Amex, the card is accepted at ALL online retailers who accept Amex as long as the expiration date and security code is provided. I have tried using my gift card online at XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXXXXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX, XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX. All transactions were declined due to security issues although when I check the balance on the card it is {$150.00}. The purchases I tried to make were well under {$150.00}. I called Amex several times and was told misleading information, ie. that I should upload the gift card to my XXXX XXXX wallet and i could make purchases from there ( did not work ) ; that i could use the card to pay off my regular Amex account balance ( not true ) ; that I should try to make a purchase at another retailer ( I've tried MANY MANY retailers and spent hours online shopping only to have the purchases declined over and over! ). Furthermore, I see that many many other customers have the same complaint, that the Amex cards are useless. I am now stuck with a {$150.00} virtual card that is worthless, and Amex has run off with the money! I even tried using the gift card in the online app for my building 's laundromat! Even THAT got declined!!!!!! Amex gift card representatives are no help, they read off a script and consistently say " try it at another retailer. '' How many retailers am I supposed to try??????

Complaint narrative:
I experienced a fairly large reduction in my disposable income which also resulted in the need to restructure and reorganize. A couple of family emergencies increased the need for funds which was now, a tool to leverage the available assets to fund recovery. In my search for an " equity '' loan, I was contacted by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, Loan Officer with Prosperity Home Mortgage LLC. I was offered {$240000.00} and I accepted on XX/XX/. I was later offered {$77000.00} but never received anything from either contracts. I was denied my own credit which has to be fraudulent because I tendered signature and allowed access to the social security account. I was also charged {$450.00} for a new assessment of the property value. This is illegal as the total amount that was taken from my account totals {$320000.00}. If it was not taken, it will show by evidence of a forensic financial audit.

Company: DISCOVER BANK
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I am beyond frustrated with the poor handling of fraudulent charges wrongly attributed to my Discover Card account. Despite submitting an official police report, FTC Identity Theft report, and contacting your fraud department multiple times, you have failed to adequately investigate or validate {$310.00} in charges made without my authorization. 
Not only have you reported inaccurate, unverified information to credit bureaus, harming my creditworthiness, but Discover continues suppressing this issue when I have provided substantial evidence of criminal financial fraud requiring your urgent attention. 
Your simplistic rationale that I must have made the charges since past bills were paid ignores today 's rampant identity theft risks. Over 92 % more Americans fell victim to account takeover fraud amidst the pandemic when many, like myself, faced personal trauma, job loss, and overwhelming instability taking focus away from finances. With my social security number, passwords, and other information compromised in various data breaches, it is entirely plausible my account was hacked by fraudsters. 
I am officially demanding complete statements itemizing all account charges and expect Discover to provide concrete verification like IP addresses, geolocation history, or other transaction metadata before falsely claiming charges as my own ever again. The reinstatement of unverified, disputed charges to my credit reports violates federal law. 
I have already suffered serious financial and emotional harm due to Discovers mishandling and urge this final good-faith attempt at resolution before pursuing legal action over irresponsible business practices. Please confirm receipt and provide next steps for thoroughly reassessing all unauthorized transactions.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.

Complaint narrative:
Around XX/XX/XXXX, my account was locked by Citibank. Subsequently, I attempted to contact them to resolve the issue. They informed me that they would need 30-60 days to close all my accounts, including my credit card. Now that the allotted time has passed, I have not received any response. When I tried calling Citibank, I was transferred between four different departments, and in the end, no one seemed to know how to resolve the issue. They only informed me that my savings account was locked but not closed. I would like to inquire about what they have been doing during this approximately 60-day period. All my other bank accounts and credit cards are linked to the Citibank account, and this situation has significantly impacted my ability to manage my credit cards.
