Consumer complaint received 2025-03-05 00:00:00
Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Problem when making payments — Problem during payment process
Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
On multiple occasions, including most recently on XX/XX/year>, American Express placed a hold on my funds totaling {$350.00} without providing a clear reason. This has happened several times over the past week. Each time, I have contacted customer service, including calls requesting an explanation and the release of my funds. 
Despite my repeated requests, American Express has refused to provide a written explanation for these holds. I also specifically requested a refusal letter or any formal documentation stating why my money is being withheld, but they refused to provide one. Their representatives have only stated verbally that they are " unable '' to give me any written response. 
I believe this repeated withholding of my funds without transparency is unfair and potentially a violation of consumer protection laws. I am requesting an immediate investigation and that American Express provide a written explanation and release my funds as soon as possible. 
Actions Taken : Contacted American Express on XX/XX/year>, and multiple times last week, but no written explanation was given. 
Requested a refusal letter, which they also refused to provide. 
Filing this complaint due to their lack of response and unfair business practices. 
I would appreciate your assistance in resolving this matter as soon as possible.

Complaint narrative:
AGAIN, I never authorized this account, never signed anything, and never provided written instructions for it to be reported. This account should have never appeared on my credit report, and leaving it there is unlawful. Whats even more concerning is that Experian is the only bureau reporting this account, while the others are not! This is clear proof that the information is inaccurate and should not be on my report. Under 15 USC 1681b, a consumer report can only include accounts when there is a permissible purpose, such as a valid credit transaction or consumer authorizationneither of which applies here! Experian has no legal basis to keep reporting this account, and its continued presence on my file is a direct violation of federal law. Additionally, under 15 USC 1681e ( b ), Experian is required to ensure maximum possible accuracy in consumer reports, yet it continues to report false, incomplete, and unverifiable information, despite this account not appearing on the reports from other bureaus. This demonstrates clear negligence and willful noncompliance. Under 15 USC 1681n, willful failure to comply with the FCRA makes Experian liable for damages, including statutory and punitive damages. If this account is not immediately and permanently deleted, I will have no choice but to escalate this further

" I am addressing the issue with regarding the noncompliance. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not, that is considered identity theft.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, I discovered that Truist Bank had frozen my account containing {$78000.00} without prior notice or explanation. I immediately contacted customer service to inquire about the freeze, but they did not provide a clear reason or timeline for when my funds would be available. 

On XX/XX/year>, I called Truist customer service again and was told I could visit the branch at XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, TX XXXX, to pick up a check for my full balance. However, when I arrived at the branch, Truist representatives denied making that statement, accused me of lying, and stated that I may not receive my money for months.

I have repeatedly requested a written explanation from Truist regarding the account freeze, but they have refused to provide any documentation. This lack of transparency has caused significant financial hardship, as I can not access my own funds.

I am requesting : Immediate release of my {$78000.00} or a clear, written explanation from Truist regarding the freeze.

A specific timeline for when my funds will be available. 
Truists handling of this matter is unfair and deceptive, and I am filing this complaint to ensure my funds are returned promptly.

Finding unauthorized accounts, credit inquiries, and false personal information made or reported without my knowledge or agreement completely stunned and grieved me. I've tried to get clarification from the creditors, but they have blatantly refused to give it to me. I demand that the creditors act immediately and be transparent. The creditors must submit pertinent application materials, show proof of express authority for each query, and give comprehensive details about each account and inquiry, including dates, purposes, and the kinds of credit products involved. To see what I'm complaining about, please refer to the attached file!

Complaint narrative:
Experian has failed to fulfill its legal obligation under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed information on my credit report, leaving inaccurate or unverifiable accounts unresolved. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) has recently filed a lawsuit against Experian, alleging systemic issues such as failing to forward consumer-provided evidence to furnishers, accepting unreliable responses, and failing to adequately notify consumers of dispute outcomes. These failures align with my experience, where Experian has neither corrected nor removed disputed items despite the evidence I provided, causing ongoing harm to my credit standing. I am requesting immediate corrective action to remove or amend the disputed accounts, as Experian 's inaction violates federal law and my rights as a consumer.
