Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Advertising and marketing, including promotional offers — Didn't receive advertised or promotional terms
Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I decided to apply for an American Express XXXX XXXX XXXX credit card. Prior to applying, I did a lot of research about which card to get. I was planning on making a big purchase ( pre-paying my insurance for the year ) and so I was specifically looking for a card with 0 % XXXX for the first XXXX or XXXX  months. The American Express XXXX XXXX XXXX credit card offered not only that, but also a {$250.00} bonus after spending {$3000.00} in the first 6 months. 

I eagerly applied. When I did, I received a notification that American Express needed a bit more time to process my application, which I assumed was normal. A little while later, I received an email from American Express letting me know that my application had been approved. I received the card shortly thereafter and started spending. This past Thursday, XX/XX/XXXX, I realized that I had spent over {$3000.00} on the card but had not received the bonus. I reached out to inquire as to when I could expect the bonus and was told that there was no bonus on my account. Not only that, but I would not be receiving the 0 % APR for the first 12 months. 

I was told that, because I had received another offer on an American Express card at some point in the past, I was not eligible to receive a promotion on this card. That makes sense and seems reasonable. However, my issue is that I was never notified at any point in the processfrom the time I applied, to the time I received a confirmation email telling me I was approved, to the time I received my card in the mailthat I was not eligible for the promotion. When I reached out to American Express, I was gaslit and told that I had in fact been informed. ( As an aside, I am a CEO of my own company and I read each and every document that I come into contact with thoroughly. I am 100 % positive that I was never informed of this information. ) I asked the representative to prove it by sending me the documentation showing that I received this notification. Surely, in the year XXXX, that would be easy to pull up for an advanced, highly profitable credit card company? He refused. I asked if he could honor at least the 0 % XXXX, given that I had already spent money on that card anticipating having time to pay it off. Again, he refused. 

I believe that American Express used a deceitful practice to not inform me of my ineligibility. As I told the representative, if I had this information when I applied, I wouldve canceled my application and applied for another credit card. ( There are several out there that offer 0 % APR for the first year. )

Company: Business Financing Corporation
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
Myself and my fiance signed for a very bad loan program to help fund his small business. After medical issues and not being able to pay, we defaulted on the loan. We were contacted by several people with several companies about the debt to pay back. They offered to do payment plans. When I told them what we could pay towards the debt, they said they had to see all of each of our bank statements, we told them the account was closed after they over drafted. I was receiving unemployment benefits. After figuring out who was responsible for holding the debt, I again stated we could pay a certain amount each month but we were not providing any more bank statements. Since then we havent received contact until they sent an email today with all of our old email accounts including ex spouses and family members with the details of our default and to contact them for payment. This loan was a scam from the beginning and now they are harassing us and threatening us personally if we do not provide them bank statements.
