My account with XXXX  XXXX, XXXX, AND XXXX XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH XXXX  XXXX and all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment.

XXXX XXXX, XXXX, AND XXXX XXXX never sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Cease and Desist Collection Efforts Invalid Debt Due to Charge-Off Without 1099-C Filing Account Number : Client Name : American Express To Whom It May Concern, This letter serves as formal notice that I am disputing the validity of the debt your firm is attempting to collect on behalf of American Express. According to my records, this debt was previously marked as " charged off '' by American Express, and to date, I have not received a Form 1099-C ( Cancellation of Debt ), which is legally required under federal law when a creditor cancels a debt of {$600.00} or more. The absence of this form indicates that the creditor has not lawfully canceled the debt, yet your firm is now attempting to collect. Please be advised that under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) and the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I have rights that protect me from unfair, deceptive, and abusive collection practices, as well as inaccurate reporting of debts. Your attempt to collect on a debt that was charged off without a proper 1099-C filing violates both the FDCPA and the IRS requirements , as it creates confusion about the true status of the debt. Your firm may be facilitating deceptive practices, and I am prepared to pursue this matter in court if necessary. Further, this collection attempt violates IRS regulations under 26 U.S.C. 6050P, which requires creditors to file a 1099-C when they have discharged debt. The failure to file this form indicates that your client has either not followed through with the legal charge-off process or is attempting to maintain the collection rights despite not fulfilling their legal obligation to report the cancellation of debt to the IRS and to me. In light of these clear legal violations, I demand that you cease all collection efforts immediately. Additionally, any further attempts to collect on this debt without first correcting the reporting to both the IRS and my credit report will result in formal complaints to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), my state attorney general, and any applicable bar association regarding your unethical collection tactics. I will also explore all available legal remedies, including a lawsuit for damages, legal fees, and other appropriate relief under both state and federal law. I expect written confirmation within 30 days that you have ceased all collection activities and that your client has either properly issued a 1099-C or will remove the charge-off from my credit report entirely. Failure to comply with these demands will be met with aggressive legal action on my part.

I emailed several times after closing it and paid it off completely. The balance is XXXX yet they still remain open. This is a closed account by them. The company themselves closed it. I asked them repeatedly and Ive emailed them repeatedly to stop reporting on my account since it is closed and and paid off. I paid off the entire balance. It was not a settlement. It is at a balance of XXXX and closed. As you can see in XXXX of the documents I uploaded the balance went from {$5200.00} to {$0.00} to {$5200.00} without my authorization the account is closed. They can not keep fluctuating the balance like this. The other document is the confirmation that the account is paid in full in 2023. Please help me with this.
