Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
My daughter was given an {$20.00} AmEx gift card for her birthday. Unfortunately every place that we have tried to use it has been declined. I tried contact their toll free number but was disconnected. After searching online I see multiple XXXX posts with this same issue. If these cards are not able to be used in large stores like XXXX, XXXX or online retailers then they should no longer offer them. A purchase for XXXX was recently declined. It appears that their customer service just tell customers to try a different retailer which is ridiculous. Can we just get a refund for {$20.00} since we can't seem to use it anywhere. Below is a link to the subreddit where people have discussed similar problems.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL

Complaint narrative:
Syncrony XXXX XXXX : Lowered my XXXX credit score down to XXXX which was my balance due to a payment I made 2 days late and one 5 days late. This was about 4 months ago. Then today again my balance was lowered to my balance almost making the account over the limit without my recent payment. 

I have had an excellent payment history but i was laid off twice last year. However, I still managed to make my payments in full. 

When I called to have a conversation about this situation the company would not address my issues or note my account. 

Please help to get this situation resolved. 

Thank you for reviewing my complaint.

Complaint narrative:
I have been a Commerce Bank customer since XXXX and have always honored my payments and made sure I was using my credit responsibly. 
As I returned to The US on XX/XX/XXXX from traveling abroad, Commerce Bank reported my account as delinquent for missing a single payment to cover my statement from XX/XX/XXXX. They argued that my payment was 34 days late. By failing to contact me first or call the number on file, they simply automated the reported of my account as delinquent, thus making my credit dip XXXX points below. While they argue they sent a mail to my address, I did NOT receive anything and they did not make any effort to call me ( my phone was working, yet they did not make the effort to contact me to make the payment as I always do ). 
I am not a new customer and have a good history of making payments. In this instance, Commerce Bank chose to handle this situation unethically and without any consideration for my rights as a consumer. 
Reporting my account as " delinquent '' without any prior communication was an institutional mistake, and I want Commerce Bank to remove it from my credit report.
