XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, GA XXXX XX/XX/XXXX CFPB Consumer Financial Protection Bureau XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX , DC XXXX RE : Notice to Correct Credit Report Greetings, Please consider this a formal request to investigate and correct the following inaccurate items on my credit report issued by THE US DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION/NELNET . The items reported by this agency shall be removed to show my true credit history. This request is supported under 12 CFR 1006.34 - Notice to validate debts of the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, a creditor/agency has 30 days from the receipt of the initial letter requesting verification of the entries that are being reported to a credit report. According to this law, failure to verify the items within thirty ( 30 ) days constitutes a reason to remove the information from my file completely. 

The initial request under 12 CFR 1006.34 - Notice for validation of debts was sent XX/XX/XXXX and received by NELNET on XX/XX/XXXX. The US DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION/NELNET did respond to the initial request to verify the accounts below however, the date of the response letter was XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, which was outside of the legal 30-day period that is required. Furthermore, the information that was provided was not any information that is associated with me or that I recognized. Under 34 CFR 685.215 - Discharge for false certification of student eligibility or unauthorized payment, THE US DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION/NELNET shall remove these entries from my credit profile.

As required by the Act, I demand that these items below shall be removed immediately from my credit profile, due to the unlawful validation process and the unauthorized nature of these accounts.

Company Name Account Number Amount 1. DEPT OF EDUCATION/NELN XXXX  {$14000.00} 2. DEPT OF EDUCATION/NELN XXXX  {$28000.00} 3. DEPT OF EDUCATION/NELN XXXX  {$5300.00} Finally, please send me the names and contact information of all the individuals you contacted, so that I may follow up with them directly.

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: GA

Complaint narrative:
I applied for an American Express XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX on the American Express website on XXXX XX/XX/2024. On the webpage through which I submitted my application, they advertise : " XXXX XXXX : {$0.00} intro annual fee for the first year, then {$95.00} '' with a symbol to look at the terms and conditions. I would like to note that this promotion is still present on the webpage through which I applied, and an archive of the webpage on the day I applied ( XXXX XX/XX/2024 ) is available on XXXX, which shows the same promotion offered on that day. 

The terms and conditions document, which I have attached to this submission, inform that the eligibility for this offer can be affected by having a previous version of this credit card or offers related to existing membership, which do not apply to me. Even then, they say that if you're not eligible for the offer, they will inform you before you accept the application. When I accepted the credit card offer, I was not informed that I was not eligible for this offer and so I accepted under the conditions that I would not be charged an annual fee for the first year. 

On XXXX XX/XX/2024, American Express charged a {$95.00} membership fee to my account. 

I have since called customer service XXXX times to ask why I was charged this annual fee when I opened the account believing that I would be charged no fee for the first year. The first time, which I believe was XXXX XX/XX/2024, the representative said they would submit an issue and that someone would be back to me. I received no further information, so I called customer service again, I believe on XXXX XX/XX/2024. They again had no information to give me and told me that someone would follow up with me. I then called on XXXX XX/XX/2024 and the representative told me that the wavier of the {$0.00} intro annual fee did not apply to my account, but did not provide any other information about why it did not apply.
