Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: SD

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/XXXX I filed a fraud complaint with Amex on my bluebird card ending in XXXX. There was a charge from XXXX XXXX XXXX for XXXX I didn't authorize this transaction. It is a scam preying on Amex cardholders. There is no such club. They said their investigation could take up to 45 days, time is up. I ve tried calling several times including a couple times waiting 1 hour or more, to be disconnected without anyone answering. I realize they don't care about their customers since most cardholders can't get an active checking account. I am not one of those people, I just use it to get my check faster. Had to pay XXXX  to have my card XXXX XXXX after not getting the new one after 2 weeks. The customer service was the worst ever.

Complaint narrative:
My daughter and I bought a used XXXX XXXX and financed it through XXXX XXXX XXXX. Shortly after my husband passed away and my daughter and I had to downsize on vehicles due to loss of husbands income. We voluntarily returned the car. At that point, we could not pay for the vehicle. We had on our credit report that the account received a payment of XXXX after they got car back. So that should have dropped the amount we owed them way down. It was considered closed on XX/XX/XXXX. But since then they have kept adding charges and fees to the account each month. I am talking like anywhere from XXXX to XXXX a month. The current balance says we owe them over XXXX but as of XX/XX/XXXX our balance was XXXX so how could we keep getting charges for the vehicle? I have been trying to dispute this on my credit report for two years. I keep getting the response of Info is accurate and then BAM more charges show up. I have checked with the XXXX and they have hundreds of complaints about this company. They actually have an F rating. One lady 's comment was basically the same as my complaint. My daughters name is even spelled incorrectly on the contract. I am trying to get my life back together and was informed I cant buy a house or rent a house because of this account. I really need some help. I have contacted the Attorney General of NC about this and they sent letter to XXXX XXXX but got no response within the 15 days given to them to respond. HELP ME PLEASE!!!

Product: Debt collection — Other debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: Sequium Asset Solutions, LLC
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I continue to receive DIFFERENT collection agencies over an alleged debt owed to XXXX XXXX XXXX. Not my debt. I have said to XXXX XXXX XXXX many times and I continue to receive collections notices. I started to report this to the CFPB and there is a prior case number of XXXX. There is a clear pattern of going from one debt agency to another debt agency, in perpetuity. Perhaps the law has a loop hole that requires patching up since the consumer is still being harassed by the same alleged debt just by different collectors. Shame on you XXXX XXXX XXXX. I have already communicated with you on more than one occasion ( and each time I must bear the incredible wait time ). Each time I must wait for your associate to find the file, the information and these poor associates are clearly from another country trying to figure out what is going on. I then sit through a tricky session where I barely comprehend the XXXX. Then I repeat my story. Each time, promise to sort it out but I continue to receive collections letters. 

I have spent countless hours dealing with this. 

Sequium Asset Solutions , LLC is another collector sending me letters.

State: FL

Complaint narrative:
To Whom It May Concern, Please be advised that I have received your computer-generated letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third-party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA. 

You were advised by me on XX/XX/2022 by certified mail that I questioned the accuracy of a few items on my credit reports. That request was written by me and mailed by me- not a third-party agency. It appears obvious to me that you are abusing your power under the FCRA to escape a complete investigation. 

Here again is the incorrect information being reported : 1. Under 15 USC 1666B this is a billing error always paid as agreed on time this is an error this account in violation. 
XXXX Account Number : XXXX THIS ACCOUNT IS INACCURATE, I DID NOT INCUR ANY LATE PAYMENTS. PLEASE UPDATE TO PAID ON TIME Additionally, there is NO law that states a consumer can not use a third party, so using that as your excuse is an irrelevant. In fact, the United States Congress has found the whole process so overwhelming that they afford consumers the right to use a third party on their behalf if the consumer so chooses. This is why your statement is so shameful. 

I reserve the right to sue a credit bureau for violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act and I believe I can prove that you did not use reasonable measures to ensure the accuracy of my credit reports and now you are stalling the process even further. 

I realize disputes can be expensive and it is your job to stall them, but you do so at great risk. Please take notice that this letter dated XX/XX/2022 is formal notice to you that I am requesting that you continue forward with my original investigation request and please send the results to me within 15 days. I therefore legally and lawfully refuse your " form letter '' thus giving you only 15 days not 30 more. 

I am annoyed and outraged at your accusation and I have researched my rights in regards to my credit file. Please expedite my original request immediately.
