Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: MS

Complaint narrative:
I am just trying to figure out some things with my American Express account. When it was opened in XXXX, I loved it. It was perfect, I upgraded my account to one with an annual fee for extra awards. Until around XX/XX/XXXX when I rerouted my bank accounts due to fraud and forgot to update them, I had multiple returned payments on amex ; as well as other card companies. So unfortunately they did close my account due to those in or around XXXX XXXX Come to XXXX XXXX XXXX I was trying to pay my bill and I no longer had access to my online account. It says Error or something so I try my app and it says contact the number on the back of my card. I do not have my card. I cut it up because they closed my account. They revoked online access for me to pay my bills. So I called and they don't have the last 4 of my SSN in their database anymore and I don't have my card number. So I had no idea on what to do. I waited until the next month to try and call again unknowingly forgetting to make a payment because of what American Express had done. They put a 30 day late on my credit report and I call the number on the report and that is the only way I was able to get on the phone with someone without my card number. I had to use what XXXX provided. So I fully pay off the account, notice how I say fully. Then they say they can reroute my account back to normal payment standing, and they would transfer me over to someone in customer service who can do that. I get transferred to the automated bot who needs my account number. I do not have my account number/ credit card number because American Express closed my account!!! So I am back at square one and I forget about it and take the 30 day hit. Come XXXX I get a bill for XXXX XXXX and some change. What? I paid off the bill. You don't charge interest if the bill is fully paid off. I have no way to get in contact with anyone. I am not good with technology but I looked on American Express website about what to do with late payments and they said submit a CFPB complaint. So in Goodwill, please

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to express my deep concern and frustration concerning the ongoing issues I have been experiencing while trying to remove fraudulent items from my credit file with XXXX, XXXX and Transunion Credit Bureaus. These fraudulent items have been causing significant distress and financial hardship, and despite my multiple attempts, the situation remains unresolved. I was informed that my case was under review and that I would be contacted shortly. To my dismay, I had still not received any updates or resolutions. I made another inquiry and was told that my case had been escalated and that I should expect a resolution within a specific timeframe. The timeframe for resolution passed, and I had yet to receive any communication or see any progress in removing the fraudulent items from my credit file. I contacted XXXX, XXXX and Transunion Credit Bureaus again, only to be told that my case was still under investigation, with no further information provided. 
This cycle has continued without any meaningful progress, despite my providing all necessary documentation and complying with XXXX and Transunion Credit Bureau 's requests. I am asking for your assistance to remove the fraudulent items : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, CO XXXX ; XXXX XXXX XXXX, CO XXXX ; XXXX  XXXX Balance : {$1700.00} ; XXXXXXXX XXXX  XXXX Balance : {$2500.00} ; XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX : {$0.00} ; XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX {$0.00} ; XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance XXXX {$0.00} ; XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance : {$0.00} ; XXXX  XX/XX/XXXX ; XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX ; XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX ; XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX ; XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX ; XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX ; XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX ; XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX ; XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX ; XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX ; XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX ; XXXX  XXXX Balance : {$0.00} ; Original Creditor : XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance : {$3100.00} ; XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX.

Complaint narrative:
I received a Vanilla Visa prepaid card of {$300.00} in XX/XX/XXXX as a XXXX gift. I didn't think of using it right away as I wanted to save it for when I really needed some extra cash. On XX/XX/XXXX, I decided to use the card to pay for my bill, but I couldn't process the payment due to an insufficient fund. I checked the balance and found out that someone had hacked the card and stolen all the fund. They made three transactions : two of them on XX/XX/XXXX, and one on XX/XX/XXXX. I reported the issue to the gift card company ( InComm ) on the very same day. My dispute case is XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX, they denied my case because the transactions were out of timeframe for recovery.

Complaint narrative:
As much as I appreciate the Credit Bureaus in removing some of the disputed items that resulted due to identity theft, I am still disappointed in seeing that they have not completely removed all the disputed itemss. Let me remind the Credit Bureaus that per the Fair Credit Reporting Act Section 605B ( a ), the Credit Reporting Agencies are required to remove any items that were opened without my knowledge, consent, or authority within 4 business days. I have been disputing for the removal of these items from my Credit File for a long time and yet the Credit Bureaus have been ignoring my requests for these items to be properly investigated and removed. The Credit Bureaus continued reporting of these items is a clear violation of my rights under the FCRA. If the Credit Bureaus claim these items is 100 % accurate and verifiable, then I need them to provide me with copies of any documentation associated with these items which bears my signature, as I believe none exists. It has been over 30 days since I started to dispute these items and yet the Credit Bureau have been failing to provide any signed documents proving the legitimacy of these items. Please help me remove these negative items immediately : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX
