Company: Incomm Holdings Inc.
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
I purchased the gift cards, but when I tried to use the card in the store, the transactions were declined for security reasons, and cases were opened ; case number XXXX ( on XXXX XXXX ) and XXXX ( on XXXX XXXX ). As requested, I sent attached documents to XXXX in order to get receive the replacement. But for all involved cards, I have been waiting for over XXXX month, but my money in the card was still unable to use. 

Case XXXX was previously filed with CFPB complaint XXXX, and I was notified the refund would be sent, but I had never received it. I inquired about this issue to XXXX on XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX, but no response was received. 

I am frustrated that the similar issue happens frequently, which is the company fails to replace the cards in a timely manner as promised. For all the involved cards, I request the replacement at the first place, but none of them is solved after I wait for over XXXX month, so I HAVE TO file the complaint to get my money back. Even if I followed up directly with the company, there was no response at all. 

Note that my money on all cards is stuck and inaccessible to use for over XXXX month, and yet I ask for the refund of remaining balance only, not including the gift card fee or interest loss on the fund. It is the company 's fault that has caused such a hassle, and I have tried my best to solve the problem with reasonable patience.

Complaint narrative:
Hello, The app called " XXXX XXXX '' charged my debit card through apple pay {$3000.00}. I did not authorize these. The company does not have an active email address or phone number. I reached out to my bank since the charges were made through my debit card. My bank is SOFI bank, which is what my complaint is for. I disputed all of these charges and asked SOFI to reverse the charges and return the funds to me. SOFI reviewed the claims for a total of XXXX hours ( filed dispute XX/XX/XXXX, received notice back XX/XX/XXXX ) and came to the conclusion that they were no fraudulent. THAT IS NOT THE CASE. No one with SOFI will help me. They will not give me my money back. They just immediately closed the disputes with the only explanation that they " thought '' they were authorized. I have emails from the company where I tried, unsuccessfully, to reach them. I feel like this money was stolen from me and SOFI will not help me get it returned, and they will not credit the money back to me.

Issue: Fees or interest — Charged too much interest
Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I was 3 days late paying my bill and was charged {$150.00} in interest and a {$29.00} late fee. American express waived the late fee but not the interest charge. The interest charge posted 2 days after they received the late payment. When I looked at the next month statement I was surprised to see another interest charge of {$70.00} when I believed I had paid the bill in full. I chatted with a person or chat bot to get the late fee reversed but they made no mention I need to 'over pay ' or I would continue to be charged interest. I had not idea how much I owed or how much to pay. My compliant stems around missing XXXX payment causes up to 2 months of interest charges. This seems excessive and usury. Additionally, if you take the days I was late and annualize that rate they are charging it is absurd.

Despite the multiple previous written requests, the unverified accounts listed below still remain on my credit report in violation of Federal Law. You are required under the FCRA to have a copy of the original creditor documentation on file to verify that this information is 100 % true, accurate & correct.

In the results of your first investigation and subsequent reinvestigation ( s ), you stated in writing that you verified that these accounts are being reported correctly? Who verified these accounts? You have NOT provided me a copy of ANY original documentation ( a consumer contract with my signature on it ) as required under Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ). Furthermore, you have failed to provide the method of verification as required under Section 611 ( a ) ( 7 ).

Section 616 and Section 617 provide me with a
remedy which Im about to seek. You are willful non-complying with the FCRA.

Since you claim youve verified the accounts listed below I wanted to confirm my thoughts and contacted the banks directly. They did not provide me with any verifiable proof.

I believe you have not verified these accounts based on Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & I will be seeking a legal remedy.
