Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint against American Express regarding a dispute I submitted for a charge of {$1800.00} USD from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 

I canceled the contract within the XXXX window legally allowed under the terms. I also provided clear written proof that no services were rendered : no attendance, no check-in, and a unredeemed day pass certificate. Despite this, AMEX refused to categorize the transaction as unauthorized or invalid. 

The merchant is withholding {$1500.00} for services that were never used. I provided supporting documents to AMEX ( contract clause, unused certificate ), but they are ignoring this evidence and mishandling the dispute. 

I am asking the CFPB to investigate AMEXs handling of this dispute and their failure to protect me from a merchant misrepresentation and breach of contract.

Issue: Fees or interest — Problem with fees
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint regarding a deceptive and inconsistent interest charge on one of my Citi credit cards, despite paying the full statement balance during the billing cycle and having a {$0.00} balance reflected afterward.

I was told by a Citi customer service manager that I needed to make two consecutive full payments to stop being charged interest, even though I had already paid the balance in full during the billing cycle. This makes absolutely no sense, as a second full payment would be impossible with a {$0.00} balance. The representative could not clearly explain why interest continued to accrue, and the explanation felt intentionally confusing.

What makes this worse is that I have another Citi credit card that did not charge interest under the same exact conditions. I also have cards with two other banks that do not engage in this practice. This inconsistent application of policy is unfair, misleading, and appears to be an intentional effort to trap consumers in a cycle of residual interest and revolving debt.

When I asked for an email address to file a written complaint, I was told Citi does not offer any email option and that I had to send a physical letter through the mail. This is unacceptable in 2025 and is clearly intended to make it harder for customers to document and resolve issues.
