Issue: Other features, terms, or problems

Subissue: Other problem

Consumer Complaint: In XXXX 2021 American Express processed a balance transfer to my account ending in XXXX. I never initiated a balance transfer. After days on the phone I found out that someone did a balance transfer to XXXX and for some unknown reason it was applied to my account. This was resolved but the balance transfer fee of {$350.00} keeps appearing and is now migrating to my other American Express account ending in XXXX. It is impossible to dispute a charge online with them. Instead I have to call and wait and one person tells me one thing and someone else tells me something else. This has cause me to be confused about the amount I owe monthly. Last month I paid {$35.00} and was told on the phone that it was supposed to be {$40.00} and they charged me a late fee of {$29.00}. For act ending in XXXX there were new charges of {$400.00} : {$350.00} Flexible Transfer. No one is telling me why this transfer done by someone else is now migrating into my accounts, causing confusion and fees.

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: SP * XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX {$500.00} Ref. XXXX I purchased camera bags from them. It supposed to arrive within 2-3 days. It never did. They then sent me an email that they shipped something 2 weeks later or so. I was not waiting at home. Then eventually I got message from XXXX saying " delivered ''. Nothing was there. Then I got another email from company, again shipping. I thought ok, maybe they reshipping the same item. It then said again dropped on the street in the middle of the day.By the time I got back, nothing was here. Checked with neighbors, they said nothing was delivered to them either. The street here is lets say like XXXX XXXX, lots of people, lots of XXXX as well. Its main street of the neighborhood which has lots of stores. XXXX drops it off on the street if signature is not required.And you can ask them not to do it, they dont care. Then I contacted XXXX to check if they could provide any details, they said, its most likely " misdelivered ''. I contacted American Express, filled a non receipt claim. Claim was denied each time. After initial claim, i got email from XXXX from XXXX. I explained what happened. No more correspondence was received. However, Amex again denied my claim. About two weeks ago I spoke with supervisor. Explained the situation, supervisor said that he or she fully understood the situation and putting the noted. Spent 2 hours on chat. This morning I am getting email, saying claim was denied again! So basically with Amex right now, I have to pay for packages that are not received. Chat customer service promises to resolve. Then few weeks later case is denied. And game starts over. Is this normal with billing resolutions? I even had XXXX charge dispute with them. XXXX gave me bill of XXXX $ for 1lb item. Billed me XXXX XXXX ( Ref. XXXX ) Disputed maybe 5 times. Provided copies of receipts. Explained situation each time. Said to use common sense that 1lb doesnot cost XXXX. Told them how to go through their website and it still gives same XXXX bill.. Ok Ok... we willl resolve it for you! DENIED! Could you please look into their practice of claims investigation? It does not seem right.
