Consumer complaint received 2023-12-13 00:00:00
Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Fees or interest — Problem with fees
Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: CT

Complaint narrative:
I had a joint AMEX account with my XXXX XXXX  and was settling a travel expense. I took a work trip with a coworker and paid for all expenses with the card. When it came time to do the report, I asked my employer to use a working computer, I asked for my own computer, and I asked several times for assistance. I used a mobile phone and completed the travel expense and had the report sent back with no feedback about the problem, several times. It was finally determined that their mobile program had an issue that didn't allow for " group meal '' as a reason in their drop-down menu when assigning a reason for a transaction. The program only allowed " individual meal. '' Even though the whole report was good minus this issue, the travel won't be paid for by the company. Since then, the trip has been paid for, but not the XXXX in late fees and interest. I paid XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX on as an effort to pay for whatever tardiness I demonstrated. I believe this as an effort by the company to ruin my career by first grounding my travel, as I have a lawsuit for illegal deductions and a lawsuit for discrimination. I was promised by both my employer and by AMEX that this wouldn't go to collections or reflect poorly on my credit.

Company: SANTANDER HOLDINGS USA, INC.
State: ID

Complaint narrative:
Every year people from Santander bank call me threatening to sue me if I don't pay them over {$11000.00}. My ex-husband surrendered a van in XXXX  after our separation and then was garnished the remaining balance after the auction. They called today and said they are suing me and will be at my house tomorrow to serve me between the hours of XXXX and XXXX and I have to sign for it. This debt was paid in full 12 years ago. I'm scared and I don't know what to do or say to them. They want money now to settle outside of court. I tried to explain to them again today that there is no debt and I am not responsible for anything. He threatened me and hung up after saying that they are suing me. I get these calls every year. They knew my social security number, birthday and full name. I'm not sure if this is real or not. My x husband says to ignore it because they were paid and it was discharged and I don't have anything on my credit report about it. I would like to know if this is real or not and how to make it stop. Thank you.

I tried to place an order on XX/XX/2023 ; the merchant charged me a higher amount than what was initially on the purchase screen. As soon as I seen this I reached out to the merchant to make sure to cancel the transaction by email and on the website. I received no response from the merchant I then reached out to my bank and explained the situation. I was assured that once the item was no longer in pending status that the dispute could be done and my account credited. Once that happened I was then told a provisional credit would not be given ; after I was assured it would be done. I explained I had proof I tried to resolve the matter with the merchant and can not get a response. I was then told if I went into the branch and that I could show them my evidence and the matter be fixed. I went to the branch an no success ; I told them I am in a emergency situation ; I am on XXXX  and I have a medication I need and my insurance wont cover it and thats why I was trying to get the matter resolved by today. I was told it would be 90 days before the investigation was complete ; I dont have the product ; I did not authorize the {$86.00}, I was turned away with no resolve. Please help.

Complaint narrative:
I bought a car and the dealership shotgunned my credit without my permission. The dealership has been trying to help me rectify this however, both TransUnion and XXXX are refusing to remove the unauthorized inquiries despite the dealership stating that they were in the wrong and that they ran my credit to so many lenders without my consent, without my knowledge or permission.

Product: Debt collection — Credit card debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: Resurgent Capital Services L.P.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
This letter is in reply to your letter dated XX/XX/2023, in response to my complaint dated XX/XX/2023. In my letter dated XX/XX/2023, I disputed the {$850.00} debt that you are attempting to collect. Additionally, I requested verification of the alleged debt pursuant to my rights under the FDCPA. With respect to my verification request under the FDCPA, I requested a copy of a signed contract. Additionally, I requested that you cease and desist all collection activity, including credit reporting. That is, I requested that you delete any and all reporting made to any consumer reporting agencies. You have failed to address my very specific legal requests and are in clear violation of the FDCPA. 

First, you failed to obtain and send verification of the alleged debt by not mailing me a contract. Instead of sending me a signed contract or agreement as requested, you forwarded copies of monthly credit card statements. Credit Card statements are not a contract or agreement and are nonresponsive to my verification request. Under the FDCPA, it is unfair or unconscionable to attempt to collect an alleged debt in any amount that is not expressly authorized by an agreement creating the debt or permitted by Law. 

Furthermore, the credit card statements do not verify nor confirm my personal information. Specifically, my social security number. I received a debt validation letter from the original alleged creditor, XXXX XXXX and as indicated in the attached debt validation letter the social number associated with the alleged debt is NOT my social security number ( last 4 ). 

I have attached a copy of your initial response, as well as the letter from the original creditor.

Complaint narrative:
Today, I am writing this complaint to EQUIFAX regarding the incorrect information on my accounts. I sent them a letter requesting for investigation of those accounts mentioned, they took more than 30 days to complete and they stated that they had completed the investigation. However, when I pull my recent report I don't see any changes made at all. They claimed that they verified the information but how come that it is verified when the date of last activity, date opened, date of last report. 
payment history and status are inaccurate? This is not right. I understand my rights under 15 U.S.C 1681 section 602 A which states that I have the right to privacy and 15 U.S.C 1681 section 604 A Section 2, which also states a consumer reporting agency can not furnish an account without my written instructions.
