Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I opened a blue American Express credit card earlier this year. As part of the new account promo, I would receive {$200.00} in credit upon purchases of {$2000.00}. 
I met the threshold for the promo code and it was applied to my account. 
Today, American Express emailed me and told me the {$200.00} reward would be rebilled to my account. I called and spoke to an agent who said I made some returns. I had no idea that I would be rebilled, there is no warning or tracking of purchases towards the promo, which is deceptive. 
I will be closing both the credit and savings account I have due to this. Shame for them since I had $ XXXX in my account with them. 
I can not give my business to a deceptive company who I feel has wronged me.

Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I was given a {$100.00} American Express gift card by a family friend. I have been trying to use the card online and it is not working. 

I searched online and apparently this is a common thing. I then noticed that the gift card does not have the 4 digit CVV code on the front of the card that American Express cards have. 

I am not able to use the card online because there is no 4 digit CVV code on the card. Not sure if this was a printing error or what. I have attached photos of the front and back of the card. 

I called the XXXX number located on the back of the card on Wednesday, XX/XX/year>, but they were not much help. They did confirm the balance is still on the card. However, they want me to email and provide certain documents such as proof of residency/mailing address which I am not comfortable doing because I have never heard of the company/email I was told to contact. The email I was given is XXXX. From what I can tell the company is XXXX XXXX. Not sure why I am being directed there if this is an American Express card.

Complaint narrative:
" Method of Verification Dispute Notice : Remove these Fraudulent Accounts, Inquiries & Inaccurate Personal Information.

The banking system is contingent upon equitable and accurate credit reporting, as stated in the equitable Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ). The banking system 's efficacy is directly impacted by inaccurate credit reports, and the public 's confidence is undermined by unfair credit reporting methods, which are essential for the system 's continued operation.

Therefore, the efficiency of the finance system is compromised whenever the FCRA is violated. This is a violation of my privacy with respect to my consumer report, as I have the authority to determine which items are included and which are not. Identity theft is the act of reporting any accounts without my written consent.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This results in civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n. The law permits a {$1000.00} fine per violation for each account listed without my expressed written assent.

I reviewed my consumer reports and observed accounts that I had never granted anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have taken on a critical role and are obligated to report consumer information with the utmost accuracy, as the Fair Credit Reporting Act explicitly stipulates. I did not provide written consent to report them. I am expressing my dissatisfaction with the contents of the attached file.
