Issue: Fees or interest — Problem with fees
Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am writing to file a formal complaint against American Express for charging me illegal junk fees on my charged-off account. 

Account Details : Account Number : XXXX  Account Type : Credit Card Account Status : Charged Off Past Due Balance : {$2000.00} Current Balance : {$6400.00} Junk Fees : On XX/XX/2023, American Express charged me a {$4300.00} in fees on my charged-off account. This fee is excessive and unfair, and it constitutes a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and New Jersey consumer banking laws and codes. 

FCRA Violation : The FCRA prohibits credit reporting agencies from reporting inaccurate information on consumer credit reports. American Express 's reporting of this junk fee is inaccurate, as it does not reflect the true balance of my account. The fee is also excessive and unfair, and it is not a legitimate debt. 

New Jersey Consumer Banking Laws and Codes Violation : New Jersey consumer banking laws and codes prohibit banks from charging excessive and unfair fees. American Express 's reporting of this junk fee is a violation of these laws and codes.

Company response to consumer: Closed with explanation
