Complaint narrative:
I am filing a formal complaint against XXXX XXXX XXXX for several serious violations of my consumer rights. Here are the issues I am facing : Privacy Violations : XXXX XXXX XXXX shared my personal financial information with third parties, including other financial institutions and credit agencies, without giving me the chance to opt-out. This is against both XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  ) and New York XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 

Lack of Consent : I told XXXX XXXX XXXX that I did not agree to them sharing my information. They responded that they were allowed to do so according to their Privacy Policy. However, their policy should comply with federal privacy laws, which they are not following properly. 

Missing Documentation : I have asked XXXX XXXX XXXX twice for a complete record of my account, including signed documents from an authorized representative. They have not provided this information, which goes against the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ).

Identity Theft : By sharing my personal financial information without my consent, XXXX XXXX XXXX is committing identity theft. This not only violates my rights but also uses illegal methods to collect debts. 

Invalid Contract : The contract or Promissory Note involved is not valid. It appears to be designed to commit identity theft, violate my rights, and illegally demand payments. This contract violates TILA and other laws.

I believe the contract is void and unenforceable, and I am seeking damages for these violations.

Complaint narrative:
My account with this company is being reported late and i was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with this company 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.

This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family!

I demand the late payment reported in MONTHS REPORTING LATE to be removed They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law!

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date.

This company never sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided. 

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer! 

Delete the late payments from my consumer reports.

Complaint narrative:
I lodged a complaint with these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. I haven't received any communication from the Bureaus, except for the notification that you sent stating that the company has responded to my complaint. How can I be certain that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report? What methods did they employ to validate the accounts? This whole situation is incredibly frustrating! It's been more than 30 days since I filed a complaint with these Bureaus, and yet the disputed accounts have not been updated. If this continues, I will have no choice but to take legal action due to the immense stress this has caused me. Moreover, I am also concerned about the security of my personal data, as it was affected by the Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX data breach.

Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I received an American Express pre loaded {$100.00} gift card for my birthday ( XX/XX/year> ) and have been trying to use it but it does not work anywhere nor can I access the balance online. When I tried calling the number on the back of the card today, they told me that there was {$0.00} on the card because the money was sent to your states unclaimed property division. I have never even heard of such a thing with gift cards before so I called my states unclaimed property division and they told me that I was indeed right, you can not claim gift cards as unclaimed property because it is not linked to a persons name. When I tried calling back American Express multiple times they said there is nothing they can do for me the money is just gone and that to contact my states unclaimed property division. The card does not expire for another 4 years and there is nothing on the card that states anything about after a certain number of years the money will be sent to your states unclaimed property division. I feel as if American Express stole this money by not telling anyone that if you didnt use the card in a certain number of years than it would go to your states unclaimed property division. It even says right on the card funds do not expire. I tried contacting American Express multiple more times asking if I could speak with a supervisor and they just kept telling me there is nothing they can do for me. I asked if the card doesnt expire for 4 more years then why did the money go to unclaimed property and they just kept saying they dont know and they cant help me. I do not know what to do or who to turn to because no one at American Express seems to want to talk with me about it or even has answers as to why this happens or why they do not tell you. It is a shame that someone got me a gift and that I can not even use it.
