Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
The Role of Consumer Complaints in Identifying Unfair, Deceptive, or Abusive Acts or Practices Consumer complaints play a key role in the detection of unfair, deceptive, or abusive practices. 

I wish to file a formal complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) against American Express for predatory lending and abusive practices. Today, I received an email from American Express stating that my credit limit may be reduced due to my payment history and credit scores, despite being a responsible borrower with a XXXXXXXX XXXX  score, 34 % credit usage, and no missed or late payments. 

I currently have two American Express credit cards and a personal loan. My credit card balance is {$24000.00}, with a credit limit of {$40000.00}. All my other credit cards have XXXX balances. 

Any reduction in my credit limit would increase my credit usage, potentially harming my credit score and leading to higher future financing rates. This situation is unjust, and I believe it constitutes predatory behavior. 

On XX/XX/XXXX  I contacted AMEX to discuss this matter and I was told that I needed to wait three days while the audit is being conducted. In the interim I could make the payment of {$6000.00} to maintain my existing limit. I copied the verbiage from the actual email for review. 

As a responsible lender, were always monitoring our Card Members accounts. Based on what we know about your payment history, including payments made in relation to your current debt with American Express, as well as your credit scores and other credit bureau information, your account is being reviewed for a possible limit reduction. 

Make a payment towards your balance to maintain your current limit we wont take the action stated above if you make a payment of {$6000.00} by XX/XX/. 


I request the CFPB 's investigation into this matter to ensure fair and responsible lending practices by American Express. Your attention to this issue is greatly appreciated.

I am listing accounts below that have been reported inaccurately on my credit report. In compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and as a gesture of respect to the Federal Trade Commission Committee on accuracy and completeness of credit information I am formally writing in today to dispute negative information appearing on my credit. This incorrect information is greatly hindering me from getting the credit score I deserve and hopefully, this letter will resolve all the issues on my credit. I demand to see Verifiable Proof ( an original Consumer Contract with my Signature on it ) of the accounts listed below. Your failure to positively verify these accounts has hurt my ability to obtain credit.
