Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement

Subissue: Card was charged for something you did not purchase with the card

Consumer Complaint: There was unauthorized transaction in my account for {$2000.00} via Amex Send. I have never used this feature and immediately reported to American Express fraud department the same day I noticed the transaction. They were able to refund some of the charges except the {$1300.00}. I reached back to their fraud department numerous times but my call kept getting dropped after they put me on hold. They keep telling me that I am liable for the remaining charges although I was not the one who made the transaction. Could you please help me with this matter? They just charged me late fees for not paying this charges. I have no other transaction in the card except this fraudulent ones.

American Express on XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX When calling each incorrect companies I got the run around and transferred place to place without resolution. When speaking with American Express they did confirm that a new credit card was open and they have suspended - however I need confirmation that it was cancelled with no charges against my name and credit report. I need all of the credit bureaus corrected and all hard inquiries removed.

Consumer Complaint: XX/XX/XXXX - XXXX opened an American Express Business card. At the time i was advised I would receive XXXX miles when I spend XXXX as long it was within the first XXXX XXXX. I was also advised I could access all American Express lounges at the airport. XX/XX/XXXX - I called to ask why I had only received a small portion of my XXXX miles.

XX/XX/XXXX - XXXX tried to enter the XXXX American Express lounge at the XXXX airport with my clients there were traveling with me, as advised I could at the time of enrollment. The staff member let me know she can not let me in, I can only enter the XXXX XXXX lounge on the other side of the airport. I spent over an hour with an agent on the phone that could not resolve this situation. I asked to speak with a supervisor. The supervisor advised her only recourse was to open an investigation that could take a few weeks. XX/XX/XXXX - I called to find out about my miles and the result to the lounge entry issue. The agent advised the investigation is open and there is nothing she can do for me. She transferred me to a supervisor who stated she can open an investigation for the mIles, because she sees that the code on my account states on XXXX miles not XXXX. As for the already open investigation, she advised the prior person was wrong that it can take up to XXXX as allotted by the CFPB regulation. XX/XX/XXXX - XXXX received a call letting me know they fixed the issue with the miles and all miles had been added. They also advised the other investigation was still open. XX/XX/XXXX - I called to inquire to the investigation as it had now been open for XXXX XXXX. Once against the agent couldnt do anything. I asked to speak to a supervisor again. This time the supervision advised the prior advisor was also wrong as well. The investigation can take between XXXXXXXX XXXX I can not get a consistent response or a resolution. They continue to extend their turn around time advising the last person was wrong.

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/XXXX I called American Express to cancel a flight I had booked through their travel website. The flight cost {$7300.00} for XXXX travelers. This flight was cancelled because both of the passengers contracted XXXX and got positive tests the day before the flight ( the XXXX of XXXX ). I purchased the " Gold travel protector '' through Amex that was XXXX to protect this flight in the event that this would happen. This protection would cover me in any circumstance, especially with a XXXX XXXXXXXX test. On XX/XX/XXXX Amex customer service on the phone let me know that the flight was successfully cancelled and that I would be refunded to my original payment method. However, I received an email right after this phone call that said " Your flight is cancelled and you will receive flight credit ''. This is NOT what I wanted and not what we agreed to on the phone. I called back crying hysterically and talked to another customer service agent that told me " this is how it processes, we have to refund to credit with the airline first then the airline will refund to Amex and then we will refund you '' ... something along these lines. I know 100 % certainty that these calls were recorded and you will hear the agents saying both of these things to me. They said it might take up to 30 days to post. So I decided to wait and see what would happen. XXXX months later, I still hadnt received any refund from this. So, I called the fraud department to have them inquire and reverse the charge manually. Everything was fine until just last week I received a statement from Amex saying I owed them for the flights. And now I somehow owe them the money I WAS SUPPOSED TO BE REFUNDED! On the attached statements you will see in XXXX that I purchased the tickets on XX/XX/XXXX. You will see that I purchased the Amex XXXX travel on XX/XX/XXXX for {$420.00}. This was to protect the flight in the event that anything would happen. I have the platinum american express.
