Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
Dear CFPB, I am writing to complain about a fraudulent account that has been reported to the credit bureaus by American Express ( AMEX ). This account was opened by an unauthorized individual without my consent, and I am extremely concerned about the impact this has had on my credit report and financial stability I first became aware of this fraudulent account in XX/XX/XXXX while reviewing my credit report. The account was opened in XX/XX/XXXX, and I have no prior knowledge or authorization of this activity. The total amount charged on this account is {$27000.00}, which I did not incur. 

Upon discovering the fraud, I contacted AMEX to dispute the account and reported it as fraudulent. Despite my efforts, including submitting a fraud alert and providing necessary documentation, the fraudulent account remains active on my credit report, severely affecting my credit score.

Complaint narrative:
Dear CFPB, I am filing a formal complaint against Hunter Warfield , Inc., a third-party debt collection agency, and XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX my former landlord/property manager, for their involvement in fraudulent debt reporting, excessive rental charges, and noncompliance with state and federal laws related to tenant rights and credit reporting. 

Background of the Dispute I was a tenant at a property managed by XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX I paid $ XXXX in rent and a {$6400.00} security deposit. After staying an additional month, I was charged $ XXXX than XXXX times my rentwithout any written notice, amendment, or explanation. I was not provided : A final accounting or itemized list of damages or deductions ( as required by XXXX  XXXX XXXX ). 
Receipts, repair documentation, or move-out inspection records. 
My security deposit was neither refunded nor formally claimed by the landlord within the legally required timeframe. 

Charges listed included areas of the unit I never used, which were repaired by the property managersnot by me. 
Additionally, the property cycled through XXXX different managers, causing mismanagement of records and communications. This further invalidates any attempt to collect alleged amounts without documentation. 

Legal Concerns & Violations XXXX. XXXX  XXXX XXXX ( XXXX  XXXX XXXX ) Landlords must return the security deposit within XXXX month or provide written notice of claims against it. Deducting for property damage without supporting documentation or inspection reports is unlawful. It is a violation of good faith to impose excessive, undocumented charges after lease termination. 

2. Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) 15 U.S.C. 1692 Hunter Warfield failed to provide a valid debt verification notice upon first contact.

Continued collections despite my formal dispute, which violates 1692g.

Collected on unlawfully inflated and undocumented charges.

3. Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) 15 U.S.C. 1681 The debt was reported to credit bureaus without proper validation or investigation.

My dispute was ignored, and the tradeline was not marked as disputed.

These actions have damaged my ability to secure housing and financing.

However, the defendants ignored this order and are attempting to collect on the faulty and void instrument ( judgment ) through garnishment based on violation of the consent order.

This notwithstanding, the defendants also violated this order and was adjudicated in XXXX.
