Consumer Narrative
Hello, XXXX or whatever your name is. You seem confused so let me re-iterate. I informed you that your company illegally refused to close a fraudulently opened account without illegally forcing me to agree to terms I was not subject to. Since you are relaunching a fraud investigation but also refuse to log this illegal behavior by your company let me help you. I have reported your company 's illegal action to the DOJ as well asthe State AG + office of Consumer Complaint Department of New York. Oh and since it's already logged you refuse to take accountability and I assume you personally already listened to the audio and have no problem with your employee 's illegal behavior it involved you too. I want to inform you I am asking now, in written form, which under Georgia law you have 30 days to reply to, for your insurers information. You have victimized me criminally and illegally neglected your companies fiduciary duty to me and I want to make a claim. You have 30 days to comply under Georgia State Law before I inform the Georgia State AG of you have refused to comply. Your company 's representatives have tortuously interfered with my ability to conduct business due to your illegal actions for which American Express is liable for and which I have laid out here. Your company Illegally intimidated and coerced me to agree to terms to terminate a fraudulently opened account in violations of your legal and fiduciary duty, for which your company is liable. Now again I informed your company of criminal behavior, Illegal on both state and federal level, XXXX XXXX and want to note now, you have obviously researched this and refuse to acknowledge it. Thank you for that confirmation. XXXX XXXX
