Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Hello, I had XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX. I was in the XXXX  and not working. I had trouble paying my American Express credit card. I called American Express to explain my situation. They sent me several options to pay the card off in full. If you listen to all the recorded conversations. You will hear the representatives tell me that the account will be shown on XXXX repositories as paid in full. Amex didnt report the account as paid in full. They reported the account as less then the settled amount. I would like them to correct the verbiage on all three repositories to show paid in full and not less then settled. They misrepresented themselves. The second item that Amex misrepresented is that fact that once you paid the card in full. You will have the option to obtain an Amex XXXX card subject to the terms on this email. I paid the card per our arraignment on XX/XX/year>. When I contacted Amex about my new Amex XXXX card on XX/XX/year>. They indicated it only applied if I paid the entire balance in full. If that was the case, I wouldve done that in order to receive a new card. They sent me an email that didnt specify the terms of receiving the card. This isnt fair. Why even put the option of having an Amex XXXX credit card if it wasnt applicable to me because I paid less than the full balance. I would like to have a new Amex XXXX card as presented to me. The email is not clear. Amex is false advertising. In this email it should of specified that if you paid less than the full balance. The Amex XXXX Card option would not be offered to you. Amex cant get away with misleading consumers. I dont think its fair that Amex could do a bait and switch. They should be held accountable.

Complaint narrative:
" The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system.

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. 

I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record on my XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  ]. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

Complaint narrative:
My credit repair journey began in XX/XX/year>. I called and reported Name, address and account discrepancies with each agency, Equifax, XXXX and XXXX. Then I filed a complaint with CFPB to remove negative reporting after attempts in writing to correct accounting with each creditor on my report. Notices of Billing Errors were sent to each creditor along with 1099s to alert them to their fraudulent claims and negative reporting to each credit reporting agency. Some of the reporting was removed but as of today the reports are not identical and are still showing negative remarks. I requested these to be removed in writing to each agency on XX/XX/year>. See Equifax 's copy of letter below highlighting each of the elements in the report that needed to be corrected and they Code 's and consumer laws supporting my demands. I am including the current credit report comparing each agency 's report and they are still not showing the updated/correct information and most are incorrect.

This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.
