Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
AMEX gave me XXXX $ cash bonus for my XXXX spend. I spent that money, after 8 months, I visited my country, I've asked if they charge foreign fee, and they said " yes. ". Then I closed my account. They did not say or informed me to return this XXXX $ ; if I close the account less than a year. I said I used this card, and I spent more than XXXX XXXX and I was not informed, or I signed any document. 

In this case I told them to refund an amount of XXXX $ ( XXXX of XXXX $ ), and they refused. 
Afterwards they sent me {$1.00} check, with an apology letter. 

But today I noticed that I owe more than {$300.00} ( with interests ). 
I did not get any credit from AMEX ; only cash bonus. But they charge an interest every month.And they informed this to credit offices. 

How can I cancel this misinformation from 3 credit offices?

Company: Bridgecrest Acceptance Corporation
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I spoke with a collections representative and set up a payment of {$310.00} to be auto debited from my checking account on the next day. This was after I attempted to make a payment online and was given an error. The arranged payment was never taken out and the company proceeded to call and call and call. I answered the call today and when I was informed that my payment had not been made, I inquired as to why not when I made an arrangement. I did not get a complete answer and I was told that I could make a payment today ( XX/XX/24 ) via phone. I had made another attempt to use the website and I was given an error. When I made the payment, I was charged a fee to make a payment by phone. I then requested to speak with someone about my inability to make an online payment. Upon speaking with someone ( XXXX ), I was informed that the site was down. I then asked that I either be reimbursed the {$3.00} fee I was charged to make a phone payment or be able to take it off my next payment. The agent said that it could not be done and if I chose to pay less than my monthly payment ( if I removed the {$3.00} ) then that would be on me. So I asked to speak with a manager and I was only rerouted to another collection agent ( I dont recall the name ), who placed me on hold and came back to tell me he inquired with someone and that the website was indeed not down. So after asking why I was unable to make the payment and if I could speak to a manager because of being given the run around and conflicting responses, the agent said he would transfer me again. At this point, I was frustrated and informed him of the bad business practices and that I would be reporting this company. He then wanted to try to talk to me and I said no, Im done, goodbye.

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are being handled
Company: Nelnet, Inc.
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
Nelnet does it apply payments as directed. Ive been trying to make extra principal payments to some loans when I can. This happened more than once, when I called to fix it last time, they re-did the same wrong way. Their website is UDAAP and misleading. Most recent example : I have auto debit set up for payment amount XXXX of each month. I followed the websites instructions for extra payments which is On their special instructions page, I selected do not advance the due date, on the payment page, which is how it says you instruct extra payments to go to principal. Their site says use the pay by group page to target specific loans. It says in their website that the auto debit will still occur as scheduled and say so as you submit the payment. So on XX/XX/XXXX, I paid the payment due at the time, then expected ( based on their website ) the auto payment to still occur on XX/XX/XXXX and that the XX/XX/XXXX auto payment would to principal but the auto debit doesnt go thru, which is contrary to what their website says. If I try to make an extra payment now manually through their website, it will apply to the XX/XX/XXXX payment instead of principaltheir payment page doesnt allow you to apply extra toward principal unless you pay double or more of the payment amount. So for example, when I try to pay extra {$50.00}, there is no option to have that apply to principal, it holds it as a partial payment for the next due date. I even called to ask how this last time this happened ( waited 3 hrs on hold ), the representative said I have to select the due not advance due date button- but again that only appears if I submit at least double the payment. The representative said cant see the same screens that borrowers do so she didnt know how and wasnt able to instruct me how to make extra principal payments ( unless it was at least double ). She even called another department and had me on hold and didnt have info on how. Its very misleading.
