Complaint narrative:
This is my last and final letter to your non compliant company before I file suit against all parties involved. FYI, it is a crime to threaten suit with no intention of actually filing suit, so be advisedI have every intention of following through with this to protect my rights as a consumer. 
I have sent your company many letters requesting that you investigate this inquiry that I believe is reporting incorrectly. Not responding to my requests is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act and will not be tolerated. In case you would like to settle this matter between you and I, rather than me filing suit against your company, I will once again list the inquiry in question so that you may do as you are governed by the FCRA. I have tried to contact this company on my own, but I have not been able to get very far. I tried to contact them using the phone numbers that are provided on my credit report. Half of the numbers are not even correct. This company that I was able to get in touch with do not even have any record of me. How can they have a permissible business purpose to pull my credit, if they have NO record of me?

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
Re : Formal Dispute of Account Balance - AMEX Account Ending in XXXX To Whom It May Concern : I am writing to formally dispute the reported balance associated with the above-referenced account. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I have the right to dispute inaccurate information on my credit report. The balance reported for this account is incorrect, and I am requesting a thorough investigation and correction. 

This account was charged off by American Express ( AMEX ) and is now under the purview of XXXX XXXX XXXX for collection. A charged-off account is recognized as a financial loss for the original creditor, and, under generally accepted accounting principles, AMEX should no longer report any balance due. Therefore, the balance should reflect XXXX, and any continued reporting of this balance by AMEX is misleading and inaccurate. 

Furthermore, I have noted that AMEX has been engaging in a predatory and fraudulent practice by continuously re-reporting late payments every month on this closed and charged-off account. This is not only a violation of the FCRA but also an unethical and deceptive tactic aimed at damaging my creditworthiness. These actions undermine the integrity of credit reporting and constitute fraudulent behavior on the part of AMEX. 

Under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), I also request that XXXX XXXX XXXX provide full validation of this debt, including : 1. Documentation proving the accuracy of the amount claimed.

2. A detailed explanation of why AMEX is reporting a balance despite the account being charged off. 
3. Proof of XXXX XXXX XXXX legal authority to collect this debt. 

If AMEX and XXXX XXXX XXXX can not substantiate the claims regarding this account, I respectfully request that : 1. AMEX immediately update its records to reflect a XXXX balance on this account and cease any further re-reporting of late payments. 
2. XXXX XXXX XXXX halt all collection activity on this account, in accordance with the FDCPA. 

Please respond to this dispute within the legally mandated time frame as required by the FCRA. Additionally, I demand that you refrain from reporting this debt or any associated balance to any credit reporting agencies while this dispute is under investigation. 

Your prompt attention to this matter is appreciated. Please provide all correspondence in writing to the address listed above. 

Sincerely,
