Company: PNC Bank N.A.

Complaint narrative:
On or about XX/XX/XXXX, I opened a bank account with Simple and funded it. Upon information and belief, BBVA Compass had acquired Simple ( formerly " XXXX '' ) at that time and Simple was operated as a subsidiary. Further, upon information and belief, on or about XX/XX/XXXX, Simple was purchased by PNC Bank. ( See XXXX XXXX XXXX  ). At that time, I had bank funds in excess of {$1.00} and potentially up to {$20.00}. 

On Monday, XX/XX/XXXX, I contacted PNC Bank to request a withdrawal and to close my account. I was informed by a PNC Bank " Consultant '' ( Read : Customer Service Representative ) that they could not locate my account. 

Accordingly, I am left to believe that PNC Bank embezzled the funds within my account by virtue of them losing my account.

Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: AR

Complaint narrative:
I am XXXX XXXX XXXX and have been a customer of American Express for more than two decades. 

On XX/XX/2023, I called American Express and asked for a loan payoff to close the account. I recently retired and began to streamline my financial obligations. 

I was told the amount I owed, and I wired those funds on that same day and closed the account. 

I received no communication from American Express in XXXX and in XXXX I was notified that my payment was past due. 

I called American Express and told them that I was the victim of fraud since the account had been paid off and closed on XX/XX/XXXX. I didnt make any purchases. 

I did not hear from American Express until XXXX when I received a past due notice. 

I called American Express on XX/XX/2023, and repeated my fraud concern. 

Only then did I learn that American Express had determined there was no fraud and closed the fraud investigation. 

I learned that American Express had charged my closed account with a membership fee ( which is now reversed ) and the past due charges were two late fees on an account that was paid off pursuant to information that American Express provided and that account was canceled. 

American Express lacks sufficient internal controls. American Expressed charged a membership fee to a closed account. How is it possible to post charges to a closed account? This was done by American Express for their own benefit and to the detriment of their customer. 
Lack of communication. American Expressed has not communicated with me with a statement, phone call, or other method since the account was paid off and closed, despite an active fraud investigation, until the XXXX late payment notice. 
American Express is alleging that a customer can not rely on the instructions they provide by phone. 
When I called to cancel the account, I was transferred to an account retention specialist who made comments like closing the account will have a negative effect on my credit score. A seemingly threatening comment.
