Issue: Closing your account

Subissue: Company closed your account

Consumer Complaint: American Express closed all my accounts. I called the executive office and was told I was rude to one of their agents. Really? Rude to an agent. I was not, maybe my authorized user XXXX XXXX was rude to an agent when he called but I was not. I tried to apply for a new card with AMEX but was told by their underwriting team I had been placed on their blacklist. This is highly illegal. Ive attached the laws for everyone concerned. I was even told by AMEX executive office that any new applications would automatically decline because I was on this illegal list. The executive office told me they could close an account for any reason even if it broke federal or state because their credit application is above federal and state laws. I spoke with an attorney ( for advice ) that said this was not true. Amex would need to pull a credit bureau and process the credit application like any other bank or face sanctions and lawsuits. I want my Amex XXXX card reopened immediately or if thats not possible I would like to reapply and be taken off this blacklist.

Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement

Subissue: Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement

Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/2023 I noticed a pending charge on my Amex credit card for the amount of {$60.00}. I disputed this charge with American Express as it posted several days later. American Express eventually closed the dispute without resolution. They said the card was used in person with no other details given. The charge was processed through a payment processing company called XXXX, and the name of the company accepting credit is a XXXX company called XXXX XXXX XXXX. I re-opened the dispute and have waited another 2 months for a resolution. The last 2 times I called Amex I was on the phone an hour each time, but the reps eventually hung up on me.

Issue: Getting a credit card

Subissue: Application denied

Consumer Complaint: The denial of my credit application on the XX/XX/2023 used several decisive factors as a basis for denying me access to my own credit. This is a violation of 15 U.S. Code ss 1611. The basis for denial are listed below for American Express : >Account ( s ) not paid as agreed. >Delinquency date too recent or unknown. >Amount owed on delinquent accounts. >Length of time accounts have been established. The information is not only inaccurate, but has no legally-valid basis for consideration in a making a credit approval decision. Under 15 U.S. Code 1681, American Express has engaged in adverse action by unlawfully denying me access to a line of credit. A letter detailing these violations has been mailed to American Express Underwriter on XX/XX/2023 to correct these errors.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Information belongs to someone else

Consumer Complaint: I have been disputing this account one XXXX for years. It has been opened and closed fraudulently. I sent in a few affidavits to XXXX and they dont do anything about it. They just say American Express claims this account is valid but they dont send any documents or proof that this account does belong to me. I spoke with American Express and they really dont have the best customer service I called and they were ready to do an investigation with the account that popped up and I didnt even give her any of my information yet. It took about 3-4 times for her to understand I was calling on an account that was listed on my credit. I then asked if this account is verified why havent I receive any documents or proof? The information she provided to me ie : address email etc didnt belong to me and never belonged to me. I have given them my new information for the investigation and now Im worried theyre going to try to change the information just to say the account belongs to me. Mind you they have been removed from my other credit bureaus XXXX is the only one saying theyre saying this acct is valid

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed

Subissue: Debt was already discharged in bankruptcy and is no longer owed

Consumer Complaint: American Express repeatedly calls me for my ex husbands debt, telling me that I am also liable for this when I am not. I have told them to stop calling me and even given them his phone number, because it is not my debt and I filed bankruptcy in 2021 so I dont have any obligation for this regardless. They are still calling me. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX THIS IS HARASSMENT.
