Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Other features, terms, or problems — Other problem
Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
I signed up for an American express XXXX XXXX credit card, and there was no credit limit on the card. The card was paid on time every month. My business partner was an authorized user on the card. My partner ordered parts for our work orders we have an XXXX  company. AMEX paused my card and told me I had to call them. AMEX XXXX XXXX department told me that a red flag was on my account because the authorize user on my account uses the card more than me, so now it looks like they are the account holder, and they would need to review my business partner credit. 

I have never in my life heard that an authorized user on a credit card spending limit is monitored and they cant use the card more than the account holder. I spoke to AMEX XXXX XXXX department and asked does it makes a difference who uses the card more the account holder or authorize user. I was told no. Either way I'm responsible to make the payments. 

After speaking to the AMEX XXXX XXXX department, I questioned the AMEX XXXX department about the false information they gave me, and asked them to show me something in writing. The representative told me it was an internal policy. Therefore, it couldn't be shown to me. I was told I had to submit my financial documents or my account would be closed. As a new business I couldn't submit pay stubs for the money I was making from my business, but I am full time employed so I submitted my pay stubs and ID. 

AMEX changed my credit card from having a flexible spending limit to having a XXXX spending limit. I was told I could resubmit my own personal bank statements to show I have sufficient savings if I want my credit limit increased.I declined. I have a business credit card not a personal one with AMEX. Theres no way Im giving them access to my personal bank statements. I believe AMEX has discriminator business practices. My credit score was a XXXX when I applied so I was credit worthy to get approved for the XXXX and Gold AMEX XXXX XXXX cards.

Account # XXXX opened- XXXX credit XXXX $ I am writing to address certain concerns regarding the handling of my personal information as outlined under various provisions of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and related statutes. 

It is imperative to underscore the fundamental principles delineated within the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 USC 1681 ), particularly in Section 602 ( a ), which emphasizes the need for consumer reporting agencies such as XXXX and Experian to exercise fairness, impartiality, and respect for individuals ' privacy rights. As a consumer, I am entitled to safeguard my private information, as underscored by the provisions within 15 USC 6801.

Regrettably, I have not been duly informed by XXXX XXXX of my right to exercise my nondisclosure option, as mandated by 15 USC 6802.

Additionally, I draw attention to 15 U.S. Code 1681s2 ( A ) ( 1 ), which prohibits the furnishing of inaccurate information to consumer reporting agencies. XXXX and Experian 's failure to maintain reasonable procedures, as mandated by 15 U.S. Code 1681e, further compounds these concerns.
