Consumer complaint received 2023-03-21 00:00:00
Product: Credit card or prepaid card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement
Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
There was a false charge for {$100.00} on my American Express card from XXXX. I disputed the charge and the dispute was resolved in my favor ( see attachment 1 ). XXXX responded by simply re-charging the amount to my credit card, which is against the terms of their merchant agreement with American Express. I put this new amount into dispute. American Express responded by conducting a XXXX mouse fake enquiry, contrary to the requirements of the Fair Credit Billing Act 1974 and recharging my card the {$100.00} it had already found in my favor. This is wrong on a whole host of levels ... and exposes the American Express disputes investigation process for what it truly is - a great sham. 

1. How can Amex resolve this second charge against me when they have already found this exact charge for me in an earlier dispute?

2. The Fair Credit Billing Act requires Amex to " conduct an investigation yourself and that you set forth the reasons why you believe my account was correctly shown ''. The Act also states : " In the case of a billing error where the obligor alleges that the creditors billing statement reflects goods not delivered to the obligor or his designee in accordance with the agreement made at the time of the transaction, a creditor may not construe such amount to be correctly shown unless he determines that such goods were actually delivered, mailed or otherwise sent to the obligor and provides the obligor with a statement of such determination. 
3. Amex did NOT conduct a legitimate enquiry- they simply sent a computer generated, unsigned " receipt '' which provides no details of what the charge was supposedly for. Amex also did NOT satisfy itself that the goods or services were actually provided, contary to the requirements of the Act 4. In my dispute letter ( attached ) I pointed out these requirements. They were ignored, even though I had spelled out their responsibility in my dispute letter to them.

I was notified I owed over {$3000.00} and they could remove the {$39.00} dollar late fee. I asked why was t I contacted the rep said I was phoned but no message was left, the mgr said I wasnt phoned, the rep from exec offices said I wasnt phoned because I was placed on a do not contact list. I asked who put me on that list and why wasnt a letter sent if that was the case. I asked why three different explanations. The rep said she would review the initial call from XXXX and speak with the mgr who was rude.she also said she would ensil a letter that had recently been sent out to me I never received the email and phone back to Santander a few days later. I spoke with another rep from exec office. He said it was not Santanders fault that the auto billing was ceased and he directed me to dispute it on my credit report. He said he would email my payment history to prove I had never missed a payment. I disputed and the only change was showing two 30 day late payments were previously it showed one thirty day late This was Santanders fault and my credit is suffering Once I found out I immediately made three separate payments in XXXX and another in XXXX I need some assistance to get this off of my credit reports

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
I opened an account with Synchrony Bank in XX/XX/XXXX. My first payment was due XX/XX/XXXX. I paid {$110.00} on XXXX XXXX. My next payment was due on XX/XX/XXXX. I paid {$120.00} on XX/XX/XXXX. I was attempting to make my XXXX payment on XX/XX/XXXX ( due date is XX/XX/XXXX ) and I was informed my account has a XXXX dollar late fee because I did not make a payment in XXXX. Synchrony bank shows I made a payment of {$120.00} on XX/XX/XXXX, but they did not apply it to my account because I made the payment before a new bill cycle generated. I do not understand why Synchrony Bank wouldn't credit my account for that payment. They are not backing down on this issue and I find it unacceptable. It is my intention to pay this account off under the 6 month with no interest, but I feel that they are attempting to prevent this. Your assistance will be greatly appreciated. 
Thank you, XXXX
