b'Subject: Complaint Against American Express for FCRA Violation  Failure to Reinvestigate Disputed Closed Account\n\nRE: Violation of My Consumer Rights Under 15 U.S.C.  1681i and Request for Corrective Action and Damages\n\nTo Whom It May Concern: Amex Investigation Dept\n\nI am filing this formal complaint against American Express for its failure to comply with its obligations under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). Specifically, American Express has failed to conduct a reinvestigation regarding inaccurate and outdated information reported on a closed account, as required under 15 U.S.C.  1681i.\n\nDespite my previous dispute requesting a reinvestigation, American Express did not take any appropriate action to investigate or correct the disputed information related to the closed account listed below. This omission constitutes a direct violation of my consumer rights under the FCRA.\n\nAccount Information: Amex Credit Card\nCreditor: American Express\nAccount Number: XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXDate ClosedXXXX XXXX XXXXNature of the Violation:\n\nUnder 15 U.S.C.  1681i, furnishers and consumer reporting agencies must conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of any disputed information and respond within 30 days. American Express failed to meet this obligation by neither conducting a reinvestigation nor correcting or deleting the disputed and outdated information, despite proper notice.\n\nThis negligence has resulted in the continued reporting of inaccurate information, which negatively impacts my credit profile. Furthermore, under 15 U.S.C.  1681n, such willful noncompliance with the FCRA entitles me to statutory damages of up to XXXX, and potentially more, including punitive damages.\n\nIf this matter is not resolved within the legal 30-day timeframe, I will pursue all remedies available to me under the law, including filing additional complaints with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), my State Attorney Generals Office, and seeking legal counsel to pursue civil damages in court.\n\nThis complaint and all supporting documentation are also being submitted to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) for investigation and appropriate enforcement action.\n\nThank you for your immediate attention to this matter. I expect a full response and resolution within 30 days as required by law.\n\nSincerelyXXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
I began repaying my student loans on XX/XX/XXXX of this year with a payment of {$550.00} which brought my balance to current, I also made another payment of XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX for more than was due. XXXX claims they send out a report once the account is listed as current. I submitted a dispute to transunion asking for these payments to be reflected and the dispute was resolved at the end of XXXX saying the status of my loans were unknown. I called Transunion today and they essentially told me that XXXX said what they reported was accurate and to file another dispute and pray XXXX reports the same thing I just got off the phone with them confirming, that my student loans were current, or to send them my own evidence of payment which is not even an option through the XXXX XXXX app portal and I dont believe should be made my responsibility since theyre the ones either sending or receiving the wrong information. My loans are reflecting as 120 days past due on XXXX XXXX because of this and showing that my 100 % payment history is now in the XXXX as well as further hurting my score. This information needs to be fixed to reflect my recent payment history.
