State: TX

Complaint narrative:
My name is XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, and I am sending this request myself to address the inaccuracies on my Credit Reports. 

Despite the multiple previous written requests, the unverified accounts listed below still remain on my credit report in violation of Federal Law. The 3 Credit Bureaus have failed to comply with air Credit Reporting Act, 15 USC sections 1681i within the time set forth by law and continued reporting of unverified information which now, given all my attempts to address it directly with the creditor, as willful negligence and non-compliance with federal statutes. These statuses are damaging to my report, which would not be happening if the bureaus are investigated properly before posting derogatory information.

Are they even truly conducting investigations or are they just automatically verifying things without conducting an investigation as required by law?

Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I made two payments of {$8400.00} from my XXXX XXXX business checking account ending with XXXX respectively on XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX. 
1. The {$8400.00} payment on XX/XX/XXXX failed and the money was returned to my XXXX XXXX checking account. 
2. The {$8400.00} payment on XX/XX/XXXX was successful, XXXX XXXX payment confirmation ( attached here ) shows that the money was successfully paid to American Express. However, American Express did not credit this payment to my American Express credit card, the payment activities ( as of XX/XX/XXXX ) in the online Payment Center of American Express ( attached here ) show that this payment failed and was returned. 
3. Based on the wrong records of American Express online Payment Center showing that the {$8400.00} payment on XX/XX/XXXX failed, American Express marked my credit card account as past due, repeatedly hired different collection agencies to harass me ( which had caused severe emotional damages to me ), and added delinquency record to my credit profile. 
4. On XX/XX/XXXX, American Express sent me fraud monthly statements showing that they did credit the {$8400.00} payment on XX/XX/XXXX to my credit card, which conflicted with the payment activities I got from American Express online Payment Center on XX/XX/XXXX. Also, American Express did not affirm whether they sent me the monthly statements in the year XXXX, and did not affirm whether the monthly statements they provided on XX/XX/XXXX were exactly the same they provided to me in the year XXXX ( if they did ). 
Therefore, I hope the CFPB to penalize American Express for providing fraudulent monthly statements, wrongly missing my payment, harassing me through collection agencies, and wrongly adding delinquency record to my credit profile.
