Complaint narrative:
Subject : Dispute of Inaccurate Information and Unlawful Actions by XXXX XXXX  XX/XX/XXXX Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am writing to file a formal complaint against XXXX XXXX  regarding their persistent reporting of inaccurate information on my credit report and illegal activity with my XXXX XXXX  account # XXXX. Despite having previously disputed these inaccuracies with XXXX XXXX  directly, as acknowledged in their email dated XX/XX/XXXX, the errors persist, and the bank has engaged in additional unlawful activities. 

On reviewing my account statements for XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, I discovered that XXXX XXXX  has erased these statements from my account, a clear violation of my rights and illegal under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). This obstructs my ability to monitor my financial transactions and is unacceptable. 

Moreover, XXXX XXXX  is reporting a XXXX missed payment in XXXX and a XXXX missed payment in XXXX, both of which are inaccuracies. I have evidence of a payment of {$2100.00} made in XXXX and {$370.00} made in XXXX. It is clear that XXXX XXXX  has failed to update their records accurately and is misrepresenting my payment history. 

Furthermore, XXXX XXXX  erroneously charged off my account in XX/XX/XXXX, even though payments were being made. According to the law, a charge-off can only occur after XXXX days of non-payment. XXXX XXXX XXXX premature charge-off is not only a violation of my rights but also indicative of their disregard for legal and ethical standards. 

In light of these egregious actions, I am including evidence of these illegal transactions and demand compensation of {$1000.00} for each illegal transaction committed. I also insist that XXXX XXXX  rectify the inaccurate reporting on my credit report, updating the account to " paid as agreed in full with no late payments. '' If XXXX XXXX  is unable to correct this information, I request the immediate removal of the account from my credit report. 

I trust that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau will investigate this matter thoroughly and take appropriate action against XXXX XXXX  for their violations. I appreciate your prompt attention to this issue and look forward to a resolution that upholds consumer rights. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
I received an AMEX gift card in the amount of {$150.00} from my employer. I tried using it 12x to buy various items the past 3 days, online. The AMEX site says it should be useable just like any credit card after activated, which I did. I can see the balance on the site, and every time it gets an attempted purchase ( which it declines ), it removes XXXX cents from my account and does not return it as a temp hold. So now my balanced is below {$150.00}. I've tried {$150.00}, {$50.00}, {$25.00} purchases. None work and there is no reason given. I was on an XXXX chat for 30 minutes yesterday and they could not figure out why it won't work. But they could not help me.

Company: Affirm Holdings, Inc
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I had a payment plan through Affirm with the merchant XXXX XXXX. The loan was supposed to be adjusted due to a return I made to the merchant. I notified Affirm that I contacted XXXX XXXX in regards to getting the loan adjusted. XXXX XXXX was unresponsive for about a month. 

I solely paid all XXXX payments on time, so that my credit would not get effected. I then issued a charge back with my bank for the last payment on the loan for the amount of {$150.00}. That was the amount that needed to be taken off of the loan in regards to the return I made. In Affirm 's system it shows that I did not make the last payment. I was only intending to be properly compensated. I have an email confirmation confirming the last payment being made for this loan. 

XXXX XXXX reached out to me issuing the refund back and when I went to pay the last payment once more there was not an option to do so via the Affirm App. The loan showed that it was all squared away on the App. I then received an email about a late payment again and I paid the final payment.

I will attach supporting screenshots of emails with dates to help identify in a timely manner.

Complaint narrative:
LATE PAYMENTS BEING REPORTED DUE TO FRAUDLENT ACTIVITY not done by me. I had two credit cards with XXXX  XXXX, during my XXXX XXXX these cards were closed due to " fraudlent activity '' I was only notified of this after applying for a home loan, I called XXXX XXXX numerous times since I became aware of the situation to try to rectify the situation over a period of months, every time I call the customer service line I get a different story. I was told my account was not closed to fraud but due to returned payments to which I never received any notices of any account closures or returned payments. I am XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and no help has been extended to me to fix the situation then I was told an investigation was done an there was nothing I can do and their decision is final. One representative told me that if I pay the accounts off in full the derogatory information ( late payments ) would be removed and the account would remained continue to be closed, this was not the case and was a complete lie after I paid in full. My credit report still shows 4 30 day late payments and 4 60 day late payments. I called them to do as they promised, I was told that the only way payments in full would be requested if I wanted to reopen credit cards and that information that the representative shared with me was wrong and I can file a complaint internally but the late payments would remain. my question is how can I be responsible for charges and late fees that was considered fraud but then they say my account status changed and my account was shut down due to returned payments, to which I wasn't notified of this either. This is destroying my credit. I have paid the closed balances off in full and they are insistent on reporting fraudlent late payments, it is not my fault that their customer service representative was not properly trained and gave out improper information. I am requesting that XXXX XXXX remove any accounts from my credit report, completely or remove the fraudulent late payments. It provides them no benefit to report this since I caused them no loss and paid the accounts in full.

Company: Jon Barry and Associates, Inc.
State: MS

Complaint narrative:
Dear collection agent, I reviewed my credit on ( XXXX ) and as allowed under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), I am requesting that you allow me to validate the alleged debt. I am aware that there is a debt from ( XXXX XXXX ), the original creditor but I am unaware of the bill and breakdown of any fees/services. 
Additionally, I am allowed under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act ( XXXX ) to protect my privacy and medical records from third parties. I do not recall giving permission to ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  ) for them to release my medical information to a third party. I am aware that the HIPAA does allow for limited information about me but anything more is to only be revealed with the patients authorization. Therefore my request is twofoldvalidation of debt and HIPAA authorization.

Please provide breakdown of fees/services including any collection costs and medical charges.

Provide a copy of my signature with the provider of service to release my medical information to you.

Cease any credit bureau reporting until the debt has been validated by me.

Please send this information to my address listed above and accept this letter, sent certified mail, as my formal debt validation request, which I am allowed under the FDCPA. Please note that withholding the information you received from any medical provider in an attempt to be HIPAA compliant can be a violation of the FDCPA because you will be deceiving me after my written request. I request full documentation of what you received from the provider of service in connection with this alleged debt.

Additionally, any reporting of this debt to the credit bureaus prior to allowing me to validate it may be a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, which can allow me to seek damages from a collection agent. I will await your reply with above requested proof. Upon receiving it, I will correspond back via certified mail.
