Product: Prepaid card — Gift card
Issue: Trouble using the card — Trouble using the card to spend money in a store or online
Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I receive American Express gift cards from my boss as a holiday gift every year and I don't know what happened, but this year it became problematic to use the card. I've searched and searched online for an answer on what I could be doing wrong and it seems like a lot of other people are facing this issue and I've read its mostly due to fraud protection. This feels like a great problem for American Express because now they have an added income stream of essentially free money. Most people aren't going to complain to whoever gave them the gift and instead will just never use it. What really saddens me is that I will probably be receiving another large gift card in a few months and it will be unusable. This almost feels like a class action lawsuit is brewing.

Company: CAVALRY INVESTMENTS, LLC
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
I sent a letter to the XXXX credit reporting bureaus to investigate XXXX accounts on my credit report that are in collections and that they verify my debt belongs to me with the original contract that I signed with the original creditor and none of them did so within 45 days. I asked that they all be removed from my report if verification with my signature wasnt provided during the timeframe and nothing was deleted. All that happened was the restarted the timeframe to the current date and began trying to collect on the debt. So now I am in a worse place since the timeframe has restarted. I never received letters verifying this debt from a single XXXX of these collection agencies nor have I ever been given an opportunity to dispute that the debt wasnt mine. I never spoke with any one on the phone or in person. I feel as though this has all gone against fair debt collecting rules and I would like them to be deleted from my report completely.

The reporting of excluded information pursuant to 15 USC 1681a ( d ) ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ) on a consumer report is a clear violation of Metro2 compliance. Provide me with the Metro2 compliance disclosure on reporting transactions to a consumer reporting agency. I need the transactions reporting as late, collection/charge-off status, inquiry, and any other derogatory information deleted from my consumer reports effective immediately. Before you think to reply that this account has been validated, lets be clear that I am not asking you to validate or verify anything. So please do not respond by telling me that as a tactic to waste my valuable time. Some of the negative accounts have been placed in Collection/Charge Off status WITHOUT mailing me a copy of IRS form 1099-C Cancellation of Debt. XXXX and the creditors reporting collections, charge offs, late payments, or any other derogatory information on my consumer reports are in violation of 26 USC ss 6050P Returns Relating to the Cancellation of Indebtedness By Certain Entities. If this derogatory account information is not deleted from my consumers within 5 days, I will be forced to officially file IRS form 3949A ; Information Referral AND IRS form 211 ; Application for Award For Original Information Overview with the Internal Revenue Service against ALL entities involved.
