I initially made a purchase for XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX for {$160.00}. On XX/XX/XXXX my ordered was cancelled by the merchant. I filed a dispute with chime bank.

Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I purchased XXXX flight tickets on American Express Travel on XXXX. 2 months later my plans changed, I went on the website and it said the tickets are returnable for a full credit with XXXX XXXX. I returned the ticket but then couldn't buy a new ones unless I called American Express customer service. Upon speaking with them, they kept referencing my ticket policy which I was not aware of nor was I provided with at any time. I couldn't use my credit to buy tickets from XXXX as they insisted it's American Express who holds my credit. American Express Travel wouldn't let me buy tickets from XXXX because the flights I chose were operated by other carriers yet they were listed on XXXX as flights with the company by XXXX After XXXX hours on the phone I was informed that if I don't redeem my credit by midnight I would lose it!!! That was also told to me by " coincidence '' as the customer service agent was referencing the policies which I was not provided at any time when I purchased the tickets nor when I returned them through the website nor ever. Also the alternative tickets showed online for a price but I had to buy them through Amex at an even higher rate because they'd do a buy up. When I asked what that meant I wasn't given information. I was forced to pay an excessive amount so as to not lose my credit and they ruined my travel plans with their opaque malicious undisclosed policies! nowhere on my itinerary nor when I cancelled did it say I have to pay a buy up fee, or that the refund credit would only be available on select flights. it simply said this ticket is returnable for a FULL CREDIT WITH XXXX! This was not the case. I demand a refund of my points stolen from me by American Express through a malicious treatment consisting of lack of disclosure of policies. Even when I requested to be provided with the policies referenced, it was denied. 
SHAME on XXXX with their intentional predatory practices of withholding information and stealing over XXXX points in this transaction! Also for eating up XXXX hours of my Saturday!!!!!!!!!! XXXX hours on the phone! Despicable

Complaint narrative:
I booked a round-trip flight ticket from XXXX, Colorado to XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/23 to XX/XX/23 via XXXX. I booked the ticket and paid {$1500.00} on XX/XX/23. 

My flight at the time of booking had three legs each way. The return flight also had three legs. XXXX cancelled two of the six flights without informing me. 

I contacted XXXX from the airport and received no help. I had to purchase two tickets at the airport for a total of {$390.00}. 

Upon returning I contacted Chase bank who issued my credit card for a charge back of {$390.00} on XX/XX/23 including receipts for tickets I had to pay for twice. I was sent a letter denying my claim on XX/XX/23 as XXXX provided proof that I was on the flight. I sent clarification to Chase that I was on the flight because I purchased the tickets again at the airport on XX/XX/23. My claim was denied again on XX/XX/23 without any explanation. 

I am attaching the documentation I provided to CHASE with this complaint. Please refer to Page 5 for a detailed overview of my complaint. It includes a receipt from XXXX and receipts for the flights I had to purchase again at the airport. 

My credit card dispute number with Chase is XXXX. 

Thank you.

Complaint narrative:
I am stressed and displeased that I see so many fraudulent accounts on my credit report. This is really damaging my credit worthiness. I am trying to buy a home for me and my family and this is not fair. I have tried several times to get these accounts removed. Let alone, my information was in a XXXX & Equifax breach some months ago so I thought you all would protect my consumer report. I do not feel that my information is being protected. This is a defamation to my character, and this is a federal law violation. According to, 15 U.S.C. 1681 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( 2 ) ( 3 ) ( 4 ) my consumer report fairness and privacy has been violated. I am upset!! I am depending on the banking system and credit reporting agency to promote my privacy and fairness and they have not. This is not right and going against my federal consumer rights. This is causing emotional and mental stress as of now. Also, it is illegal these companies should NOT be furnisher people 's information to 3rd party companies, so this is illegal, neglect and fraud. I have already reported this to the local police department and Federal Trade Commission. These companies and the credit bureaus can get sued for these damages. This is negatively affecting my livelihood and putting me in a bad space. I feel your database is inaccurate and I am filing ligation against this if these items aren't removed immediately.
