Complaint narrative:
Dear CFPB XXXX, I am submitting this new complaint in connection with an ongoing dispute under Case XXXX XXXXXXXX. As I do not have a method to provide additional comments on the original case, I am initiating this follow-up to provide important updates and request further assistance. 

According to American Express, the transaction in question under Case XXXX XXXX remains under investigation. This is reflected in their written correspondence to you, dated XX/XX/year>. 

However, upon reviewing my account statement ( attached ), I discovered that American Express charged me interest on the disputed amount on XXXX their confirmation that the investigation is still ongoing. 

When I contacted American Express today ( XX/XX/year> ), a representative informed me that the dispute was closed on XX/XX/year>, and claimed a notification was sent to me at that time. This directly contradicts their letter to the CFPB dated XX/XX/year>, where they clearly state the investigation is still active. 

Given these inconsistencies, I respectfully request the CFPBs assistance with the following : 1. Confirm that American Express is conducting a proper and consistent investigation, and ensure accurate documentation is reflected on my account.

2. Request the removal of any interest charges applied while the disputed amount remains under investigation.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
