Consumer Narrative
Hello, I opened a new credit card with American Express and as always I set up automatic payments through their automatic system right away. Two month later without having a single alert or notice, I discover that they destroyed my credit history reporting two late payments. My credit score went from good to fair and I cant apply for any more credit! I already spoke with them and told them that I set up automatic payment which didnt go through. Also I moved to the new address from XXXX XXXX to XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX and didnt receive a single bill that my account is overdue to my new address. My understanding was that XXXX setup automatic payments but their automatic system fails on purpose so they can collect their fees. Please help me. They destroyed my credit history while it was their fault because they had problem with the automatic payments system. I spoke with their representative and she said that it happens to other customers! I dont trust this company any more when they do such unethical practices - not only stealing millions of dollars but destroying credit history which causes hardship for families. This was such a mistake opening account with them. Wish I never dont this. Also they promised me XXXX apr for a year ( that was the reason I signed up ) but then they charging me 28.24 % Please publish my report so it is visible for all the people to read! Thank you so much! XXXX XXXX Amex account number ending : XXXX My cell : XXXX
