Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Other personal consumer report
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing issue — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I purchased an American Express Travel Insurance policy ( XXXX XXXX. XXXX, AMEX Gold Travel Protector ) for my father, XXXX XXXX, who passed away on XX/XX/XXXX while traveling in XXXX. The policy provided up to {$50000.00} in emergency medical protection. 

I submitted a claim ( Claim No. XXXX ) to AMEX Assurance Company, including hospital invoices, death certificate, and supporting documentation. The claim was submitted in JPEG format via the AMEX portal, which clearly accepts JPEGs as an allowed format. AMEX confirmed receipt of my documents and requested estate verification. I promptly provided the Will and relationship certificate, and on XX/XX/XXXX, I filed a Probate Petition in XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX to obtain Letters Testamentary. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, AMEX formally refused to advance my claim for two reasons : They insisted I wait until probate court issues a formal appointment, even though I am actively pursuing it and acting in good faith. 

More seriously, they claimed they contacted the XXXX  hospitals ( XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX ) and were told my father was not a patient. They therefore dismissed my invoices as not valid. 

This investigation was inadequate, unreasonable, and unsupported. AMEX has provided no written verification, no names, no departments, and no official records from those hospitals to justify invalidating my invoices. Their entire denial is based on undocumented phone conversations in a foreign jurisdiction, while ignoring contemporaneously issued invoices and death records that I submitted. 

I believe AMEXs actions constitute bad faith claims handling, breach of contract, and unfair claim settlement practices. They are denying a legitimate claim without producing substantiating evidence and causing undue delay and harm to me and my family while we are already going through probate.

Complaint narrative:
You have reported inaccurate and unauthorized accounts on my credit report, which is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681i ) requiring a proper reinvestigation of disputed items, and 1681e ( b ), which mandates maximum possible accuracy. These false entries are damaging and unjust, especially since Ive never opened or authorized these accounts. If you fail to investigate and correct this, I may pursue legal action under the FCRA and FDCPA ( 15 U.S. Code 1692e ) for deceptive and misleading reporting.

Complaint narrative:
This is my second dispute because my credit report still contains outdated and inaccurate personal information that I did not authorize. It continues to list incorrect addresses, an invalid name variation, a misspelled version of my name, and outdated or inaccurate employment details. I have already submitted valid supporting documents, including my government-issued ID, SSN card, and utility bills, to verify the correct information. Under 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ), credit bureaus are required to ensure the maximum possible accuracy of the information they report. I am demanding the immediate correction or permanent deletion of these inaccurate items and written confirmation once the updates are completed.

Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint against American Express regarding their refusal to return a large credit balance ( {$7600.00} ) to me. 
On XX/XX/XXXX, a merchant refund created a credit balance of {$7600.00} on my U.S. American Express account. I immediately requested the funds be returned to me by electronic transfer ( ACH or wire ) to my U.S. checking account at XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX, which has been used for a number of years to pay this card.

American Express unilaterally issued a paper check against my explicit instructions. I am currently outside the U.S. and can not deposit such a check due to mobile deposit limits. I specifically told American Express not to send a check.

When I pressed the issue, I was told the check had been cancelled and the funds would be returned to my card account. However, no funds have been re-credited. My online statement shows only a vague removed credit refund balance adjustment, with no indication of whether the
funds are accessible, held, or lost.

I have repeatedly requested written confirmation from American Express about whether the check is valid or cancelled and when I will receive my funds, but they refuse to provide any documentation. Supervisors have given contradictory explanations, and my money remains inaccessible after weeks.

This has caused me financial hardship as I need access to part of the funds while living in the XXXX. I believe American Express is acting in bad faith by withholding my money, refusing electronic transfer despite long-standing account history ( since XXXX ), and refusing to provide written confirmation of their actions.

I respectfully request that the CFPB require American Express to : 1. Immediately release my credit balance by electronic transfer to my U.S. bank account ; or, at minimum, 2. Provide written confirmation of the status of the funds and a clear date by which I will receive them.

American Express has had since XX/XX/XXXX to resolve this, yet continues to stall. I need urgent intervention.

Complaint narrative:
The glaring absence of concrete evidence to support its reliability, combined with the dissemination of unverified information, represents a clear violation of the statutory requirements outlined in 15 USC 1681i ( 7 ). This lack of compliance is not only troubling but also deeply frustrating, given the critical importance of adhering to legal obligations.

Therefore, I strongly advocate for the immediate removal of this account in accordance with the specified regulations, unless verifiable evidence is promptly provided to establish its authenticity. Any delay in addressing this issue exacerbates the frustration caused by the apparent disregard for regulatory protocols and the legal standards that ensure fairness and accuracy.

Thank you for addressing this matter promptly. I kindly request a written response detailing the results of your investigation within 30 days, as required by the FCRA. If any item remains unchanged, please provide the name and contact information of the entity that verified its accuracy.

Complaint narrative:
Account Name : XXXX  XXXXXXXX Account Number : XXXX To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to dispute an alleged late payment that appears on my credit report for the account listed above. This account is reporting by XXXX XXXX XXXX  to your agency Experian a late payment for XXXX  XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX, which I believe is either inaccurate, outdated, or unverifiable. The Payment in question is identified as " late '' but I do not believe that the creditor has followed the legal requirements to report it as such under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and related laws.

Legal Basis for dispute : 15 U.S.C. 1681a ( 2 ), the term " Consumer Report '' does not include reports that solely contain information regarding transactions or experiences between a consumer and the person making the report. As such, any transaction or experience between myself and XXXX XXXX XXXX  regarding this account should not be included in my consumer credit report. 

15 U.S.C. 1681a ( 2 ) ( a ) 1666, and 1637 ( b ), the information reported to the credit bureau is invalid, and there is no basis for it to remain on my credit report.

Request for action : If XXXX XXXX can not provide sufficient documentation to support the necessary proof of mailing or delivery of the required information, i request that this late payment be deleted from my consumer report. Failure to do so will be considered a violation of 15 1681s-2, which prohibits the reporting of inaccurate or unverifiable information.

IO respectfully request that you take the appropriate action to remove this inaccurate late payment entry from my credit report within 10 calendar days of receiving this notice.

Late payments in question XX/XX/XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. 

Thank you for your promnpt attention to this matter. I Look Forward to your response and indication the late payments have been removed.

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. " I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

I submitted a dispute to you regarding multiple inaccuracies on my credit report, including incorrect personal information ( name, addresses ) and multiple inaccurate account entries. Despite providing supporting documents, such as my driver 's license, proof of address, and social security card, you have failed to correct these errors. These inaccuracies impact my credit standing and violate the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), which requires credit bureaus to ensure maximum possible accuracy. Additionally, some of these accounts may involve debts that should have been reported differently under 1099-C tax laws. I formally requested verification and removal of these items, but you have not taken appropriate action.
