State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Complaint Regarding Cancellation of American Express Account and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX - Case ID : XXXX Dear CFPB, I am writing to file a complaint regarding American Express and the recent cancellation of my American Express XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX account XXXX I am extremely frustrated with how they have handled the situation, and I believe their actions have caused undue stress and financial harm. 

Background : I had a perfect payment record with American Express : no late payments, no balance, and no debt at all on the account. 
On XX/XX/year>, American Express cancelled my account without any prior warning or explanation, despite my perfect record. 
At the time of the cancellation, I had accumulated XXXX XXXX XXXX points, which were stored on my American Express account. 

Issues : After receiving the cancellation notice, I was informed in writing that I had 90 days to redeem my rewards points. 
For the past 30 days, I have been diligently calling American Express to redeem these points. Initially, I was told that the points would be converted into a balance that I could request as a refund. This was a suitable resolution for me at the time, but it has yet to be fulfilled. 
I have called American Express five times since then and even have a case open with them under Case ID : XXXX. I was told to wait XXXX business days for the matter to be resolved, but today marks XXXX business days with no resolution. 
When I called back today, I was told by a supervisor that the case would need to be re-opened, further delaying the process. 

Concerns : I believe this situation constitutes fraud. I spent my hard-earned money to accrue these rewards points, and those points have monetary value. American Expresss refusal to allow me to redeem my points, despite their prior assurances, is deeply concerning. 
I am entitled to the rewards that I earned, and American Expresss delay tactics feel like an attempt to withhold these benefits. 

I request the CFPBs assistance in resolving this matter and ensuring that American Express upholds its commitment to allow me to redeem my rewards points. Their lack of follow-through and continued delays have caused significant inconvenience, and I believe they are acting in bad faith. 

Thank you for your time and attention to this matter. I look forward to your help in getting this issue resolved.

Complaint narrative:
It is crucial that consumer reporting agencies uphold their grave responsibilities when it comes to the handling of consumers personal credit files. After performing a re-investigation upon my credit file for accounts XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX pursuant to 15 USC 1681ia1a, your company failed to follow proper procedures in regard to correspondence to me the consumer, in the handling of the reinvestigation.

As clearly outlined within, 15 USC 1681i ( 7 ) ; 15 U.S. Code 1681i - Procedure in case of disputed accuracy Subchapter 7 states the following ; ( 7 ) Description of reinvestigation procedure A consumer reporting agency shall provide to a consumer a detailed description referred to in paragraph ( 6 ) ( B ) ( iii ) by not later than 15 days after receiving a request from the consumer for that description.

Further outlined within 15 USC ( 6 ) ( B ) ( iii ) ; ( 6 ) Notice of results of reinvestigation ( A ) In general A consumer reporting agency shall provide written notice to a consumer of the results of a reinvestigation under this subsection not later than 5 business days after the completion of the reinvestigation, by mail or, if authorized by the consumer for that purpose, by other means available to the agency.

( iii ) a notice that, if requested by the consumer, a description of the procedure used to determine the accuracy and completeness of the information shall be provided to the consumer by the agency, including the business name and address of any furnisher of information contacted in connection with such information and the telephone number of such furnisher, if reasonably available.

The correspondence mentioned above was NEVER made to me and therefore, your company is in direct violation of the FCRA and is now liable for monetary damages detailed within 15 USC 1681n and 15 USC 1681o.

Not only was a proper reinvestigation not performed as the derogatory account mentioned is erroneous to begin with, your agency failed to follow the FCRAs clear rules in the handling of correspondence to me in association with the account in question. Please delete this erroneous account as I have sought legal counsel in this matter and intend on seeking damages associated with this complaint if this issue is not resolved. Thank you for your time.
