Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
Bluebird American Express has refused for almost a year to explain why they haven't returned my money and actually lied and said I had a XXXX balance. I have supporting documents that show I am in fact due a refund of {$290.00}. I ordered a double door from XXXX using my Bluebird card. When I made this purchase I had enough money, but I had also made other purchases so I guess the XXXX order is what put me still oweing {$290.00}. That was my mistake, I just didn't realize I had gone over at the time. I did not realize I had been sent emails about this but I do realize that was also my mistake for not being more diligent in reading correspondence. However that does not mean that a company can keep money that does not belong to them. I didn't realize there was an issue until XXXX got ahold of me about my order and then I realized my account had been closed. I have attached supporting documents that show I did cancel the order through XXXX and was told to contact my bank about the refund. The doors I ordered were {$580.00} and I was negative {$290.00}. ( per attached bluebird email ) Subtract that from the {$580.00} and I should have received {$290.00}. Instead they lied and said I have a XXXX balance and won't give me a refund. The documents show correspondence with XXXX  specialist and emails from Bluebird American Express.

Complaint narrative:
them to set up a reasonable payment plan for a past rental balance, and they told me I had to apply for at least XXXX loans and show proof of denial before they would even consider it. 

When I requested written confirmation of this ridiculous policy, they refused and claimed they dont use email anymore. Their representative, XXXX, was aggressive and hung up on me when I asked for a supervisor. 

They are using predatory tactics to pressure people into full payments instead of working with them fairly.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/XXXX I was charged late fees of {$29.00} and {$40.00} dollars, when the limit imposed by this department is {$8.00}. On XX/XX/XXXX capital one attempted to collect my past due amount via robocalls when I live in XXXX which makes this an illegal act as a violation of state law and it is capital ones responsibility to know the laws of the states that they do business in. I have never missed a payment since this account was opened and I have never been provided a credit line increase. The robo call collections violate the fair debt collection practices act, maybe even the FCRA. There definitely was a violation of a federal act as well as being overcharging me for the late fees which I asked them to remove the illegal late fees from the issuer and they refused, the interest is also wrong and they are now not reporting accurately in the months following. I also asked to speak to the retention department fives times in one call and they refused to give me access to that department or access to a manager that manages a team. They also do not follow the minimum payment laws and my minimum payment on the account that has a $ XXXX balance was {$120.00} which is an illegal payment ask amount and I believe a second violation of the FCRA .
