Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: The Best Service Co.,Inc
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
This account that I am complaining about concerning The Best Service Company I found to be a fraudulent account in my credit report. 
The Best Service Company is attempting to collect on a debt that I do not owe. 
I got a letter from The Best Service Company on XX/XX/XXXX attempting to collect on a debt that I do not own, and now recently found this company furnishing derogatory information about me. I sent The Best Service Company a letter of dispute of the alleged debt on XX/XX/XXXX for validation of debt XXXX XXXX XXXX - Notice for validation of debts, and another letter of Cease and Desist on XX/XX/XXXX. I did NOT get a response from The Best Service Company regarding this alleged debt. Unfortunately this company did not give me Lawful validation for the alleged debt under the FDCPA. 
I did give The Best Service Company a chance in good faith to validate the alleged debt. The problem with The Best Service Company is that they are furnishing information about me without having permissible purposes according to the FCRA, this makes it an Identity theft. Furthermore The Best Service Company is attempting to collect on a debt that is considered income according to the IRS for being a charge off with a XXXX balance. XXXX does not get reported to the CRAS According to XXXX, and this debt has a XXXX balance according to the original creditor. What are they collecting on? The alleged debt has already been charged off through the IRS with a 1099-C Cancellation of Debt.

These are the violations of Consumer LAWS, and Criminal LAW.

15 U.S. Code 1681b ( c ) ( 3 ) Permissible purposes of consumer reports.

15 U.S. Code 1681 q - Obtaining information under false pretenses.

Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
I applied for the Amex Delta SkyMiles Gold credit card on XX/XX/, with an opening bonus of XXXX miles after spending {$2000.00}. However, after several months when I met the spending criteria, I still didn't get the bonus. I communicated a lot of times with Amex and they told me I'm not qualified for this bonus. However, this is not true : 1. I successfully opened it with the bonus. 2. I didn't have this card ever. Thus, I should be qualified. The most important thing, if I'm not qualified, they should notify me before approving my application.

I have contacted CFPB to communicate with AMEX, and the response letter showed fake information claiming that : During your online application you were advised Based on your history with Credit Card balance transfers, American Express welcome offers, introductory APR offers, or the number of Cards you have opened and closed, you are not eligible to receive the welcome offer. Would you like to proceed? However, during the online application, I have never been advertised with this statement. The fact is I have been welcomed by the opening bonus. 

So this response really hurt my heart and I'm very sad about Amex.

Complaint narrative:
You are asking for me to pay on a loan which the soft report has no indication of having a loan with you other then private loan. Even private loan is question marked since it shouldn't have been a private loan in first point. 

Second You are asking for income base repayment with deadline of XX/XX/. Do you get your taxes done by XX/XX/? I don't think anyone has them done by then. I think this is unethical. You don't even have w2 out. I have many servicers and I have paid you before all of them. You keep asking for more and more and you keep screwing up. 

Also, you put a private loan check on federal account if it were accurate? 


Private loan should be emulated by balance not consistent through whole loan. 

This is not a duplicate. This is reoccurring issues with additional issues. 

I've paid over a years wage of this loan and I shouldn't be getting any bills. This loan shouldn't be XXXX every month. I paid over XXXX of this loan and balance should be emulated what I paid. Also, you continue to not find a solution. This loan should not be even in the mix since I was told by fasfa my family made too much. My family isn't tied to my finances and they have never been tied. Regardless of promissory note. This loan was mislead and should have been eligible for a federal loan and Pell grants. Since I was mislead XXXX  and education department should be responsible for paying.

Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
My account was closed on XX/XX/XXXX after completing the Financial Relief Program with American Express. I was told my account was closed due to numerous returned payments. I do understand there were some returned payments, but I was hoping this would not affect the relationship with American Express and my business. 

I recently had my mother pass away which resulted in me having to travel back to New Jersey, creating a loss of revenue for my business as I was not able to complete jobs. Now, my financial situation has improved and fully completed the Financial Relief Program and paid in full. 

After contacting AMEX, they told me my account is closed with no possibility of reinstatement. 

I am hoping the account could be reopened and continue our relationship with American Express, a financial hardship should not ruin this relationship as I have been a member since XXXX.
