Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: IN

Complaint narrative:
I am the primary cardholder on an American Express Business Gold card ending in XXXX. My complaint relates to an account closure and annual fee request that has not been honored by American Express. 

On XX/XX/year>, I requested that this account be closed and the full annual fee of {$370.00} charged earlier in the statement cycle would be refunded. I received confirmation from an American Express chat agent that the account would be closed, and because the request was made within 30 days of the fee charge, the fee would be refunded within XXXX days. Surprisingly, on XX/XX/year>, I checked my account and saw that the fee had not in fact been refunded. I initiated another chat session and received an apology from the chat agent, who assured me that the refund of {$370.00} was being escalated and would be honored as promised. Transcripts of both chat sessions are attached. 

I gave the agent the benefit of the doubt. Unfortunately, that decision was not rewarded as I discovered that today, XX/XX/year>, the fee refund has still not been issued. This is an unacceptable experience and I require that it be timely corrected.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute a late payment entry that has appeared on my credit report. The report indicates a late payment in my credit report, which I strongly believe is erroneous and not verified. Throughout my financial history with the financial agencies I am doing business with, I have consistently met all payment deadlines without fail. Therefore, the presence of this late payment is undoubtedly a result of a billing error on the part of the creditor. I request a thorough investigation into this matter to verify the accuracy of the reported late payment and urge for its prompt correction. It is imperative that such inaccuracies are rectified swiftly, as they impact my financial standing and credibility. I have contacted the financial agencies in the last more than 30 days to seek clarification but I got no response because this is erroneously reported for they have provided NO PROOF that there was a REAL late payment. Your immediate attention to this matter is greatly appreciated.

Company: Southwest Recovery Services, Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
My wife a I were in the process of selling our current home. Therefore I contacted a local realtor to potentially rent a XXXX bedroom XXXX  after our house sold. I completed an application and I was approved. I gave the company a {$1300.00} deposit. Someone was living in the property at the time. The property was suppose to be available on XX/XX/XXXX. However the potential buyer of my current home backed out. I never took possession of the property. I never received a key to the properly. I never turned on utilities to the property. I never saw the inside of the property after their current tenant moved out. I contacted the realtor immediately prior to the current tenant moving out. I explained my situation and ask for my deposit back. The company refused to give my deposit back. They then rented the unit to another tenant just days later within the same month of XX/XX/XXXX. Unfortunately In XX/XX/XXXX I received a notice from a collection agency threatening to put a collection on my credit report in the amount of {$2600.00}. The original creditor never contacted me or provide any amount owed over the course of XXXX months. I never received any notice from the original creditor. I have no blemishes on my credit. This threat of reporting an inappropriate debt on my credit could possibly cost me tens of thousands of dollars, missed opportunities and a lot of time and distress. I would like these attempts to collect an erroneous debt to stop. I also would like to prevent any inaccurate debt from being reported on my credit. If the original creditor has any bases for this debt I would like an accurate detailed breakdown. 
Thank you for your time and consideration. Have a blessed day
