In accordance with the fair credit reporting act, American Express has violated my rights. 15 USC 1681 Section 602 states that I have the right to privacy. 15 USC 1681 Section 604a states that a consumer reporting agency can not furnish an account without my written instructions. 15 USC 1666b states that a creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for purpose. 

I have had an American Express Blue XXXX XXXX credit card since XXXX. I have never missed a payment and do my best about paying them on time. My payments are due on the XXXX of each month. The payment that was due on XX/XX/XXXX was paid on XX/XX/XXXX. When the XX/XX/XXXX payment became due, I was running short, waiting to receive a check from work before paying it. I knew I would be charged a late fee and was okay with that since I needed a little time. I received my check on XX/XX/XXXX and immediately logged into the AMEX app to make the payment. I was unable to make a payment and my credit card had already been cancelled and sent to XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX. for collections by American Express. I received an email from AMEX dated XX/XX/XXXX stating the card was being cancelled and was not given a reason. I also received a Notice from a debt collector XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX. dated XX/XX/XXXX. When I called AMEX on XX/XX/XXXX, I was told that my account was cancelled and I needed to contact XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX. for additional information.

I have provided proof that my account was not even 30 days past due at the time of account closure and when sent to collections and was unable to make the payment prior to the 30 days. 

All corresponding documentation is attached, including the email from American Express on XXXX Payment history to American Express for the last 12 months, Notice from debt collectors XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX. dated XX/XX/XXXX, and correspondence with American Express customer service dated XX/XX/XXXX and XXXX, XXXX attempting to make payment.
