Complaint narrative:
I have been unable to use my amex card for over XXXX XXXX because amex claims they sent me a refund check that i did not request for {$1600.00} on my account that I purposefully paid for an anticipated purchase. 

The check was never received and never cashed. They can see this and offered to resend the check. I declined. Amex refused to put the money back on my account and reverse the late payment reports to credit bureaus and refund late fees and interest. 

This is not lawful behavior that results in them receiving fees and interest to which they are not entitled which is fraud. 

I have had to spend the money from another source. I still do not the credit on my card and am unable to use my card perks.

Company: Selene Holdings LLC
State: LA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, Selene XXXX sent a letter denying my mortgage assistance application, claiming I failed to submit a required financial workout plan. This denial was issued just days after I submitted all requested documents, including income verification and hardship information with email confirmation of receipt dated XX/XX/year>. 

No notice or request for a financial workout plan was ever communicated prior to the denial. Furthermore, a separate letter dated XX/XX/year> ( XXXX days before the denial ) from Selene invited me to apply for assistance contradicting their position. 

This conduct appears to violate 12 CFR 1024.41 ( c ) and ( d ), which govern servicer obligations to evaluate complete applications and provide clear, documented denials. Selenes actions may also violate UDAAP standards, as they appear designed to manufacture noncompliance and disqualify me from assistance.
