Company: Palisade Legal Group, PLLC

Complaint narrative:
I signed up with a credit consolidation and debt settlement legal group ( Palisade Legal Group ) through a company called XXXX. I gave them XXXX of my credit cards to work with to lower the amount of debt on each card and make payments to settle the debt. Over a period of 1 year, the only thing they managed to do was have my credit cards closed and lower my credit score. They charged me a monthly fee of {$570.00} totaling {$3900.00} and monthly service fees, account setup fees ( {$9.00} for 3 times ), enrollment in legal plan ( charged {$300.00} twice ) legal plan fees ( $ XXXX ), and settlement fees totaling {$2500.00}. During this time, they made XXXX payments of {$110.00} to XXXX XXXX. None of the other cards were paid or settled. I paid them a total of and received nothing in return.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.

Complaint narrative:
I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. 

It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. 

I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: UT

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a formal complaint against American Express regarding the non-receipt of bonus points promised for adding authorized user cards and meeting the required spending threshold. 

On XX/XX/year>, I received XXXX XXXX XXXX points for XXXX authorized user card after meeting the required spending threshold. Subsequently, I added XXXX additional authorized user cards under the same promotion and met the spending thresholds for each card. According to the terms of the promotion, I should have received a total of XXXX points ( XXXX points for each of the XXXX cards ). However, to date, I have only received XXXX points, leaving a balance of XXXX points that have not been credited to my account. 

I contacted American Express customer service via their chat platform twice to inquire about the missing points. Below is XXXX of the transcript of my conversation with their representative : Chat Transcript : Me : I got XXXX [ authorized user card ] on XX/XX/XXXX for XXXX points and hit the spend on XXXX others with a new promotion this year that have not been rewarded. 

American Express Representative : I can see that for XXXX additional cards, the spending has not updated yet. The new or unbilled charges are updated after the statement is closed. So, if the spending is met, please don't worry. You'll surely see the points. Also, I'll once check the timeframe for the points. It is mentioned in the terms of the offer that " The XXXX Membership Rewards points will be applied to the Basic Card Member 's Account within XXXX weeks after the Threshold Amount is met by an Employee Card Member added through the promotional offer page. '' Me : But the statement has closed and I am on the new month so it should have hit by now. When will they be rewarded? 

American Express Representative : So, you'll surely see the points soon on your account. 

Me : I am confused that it was added to XXXX already but I have to wait on the other XXXX? 

American Express Representative : I do understand that. However, it must be possible that the spending for that card was met before the spending on the others. But, please be assured, the points will reflect on your account. 

Despite this assurance, the additional XXXX points have not been credited to my account. I have met all the promotional requirements and am entitled to these points. The delay in crediting these points is causing significant frustration and inconvenience. 

I request your assistance in resolving this matter promptly. American Express owes me XXXX Membership Rewards points as per the promotional terms. Your intervention in this matter would be greatly appreciated. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt response. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

I am listing accounts below that have been reported inaccurately on my credit report. In compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and as a gesture of respect to the Federal Trade Commission Committee on accuracy and completeness of credit information I am formally writing in today to dispute negative information appearing on my credit. This incorrect information is greatly hindering me from getting the credit score I deserve and hopefully, this letter will resolve all the issues on my credit. I demand to see Verifiable Proof ( an original Consumer Contract with my Signature on it ) of the accounts listed below. Your failure to positively verify these accounts has hurt my ability to obtain credit.

Complaint narrative:
" The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record on my ( CHANGE TO NAME OF BANK ACCOUNT ). I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law. "
