Consumer Narrative
Hello My name is XXXX XXXX, I have been dealing with an issue with AMEX and XXXX for a long time now, over 2 years. I paid an AMEX bill, and settled with them. You can contact AMEX, I have letters from AMEX showing I paid it. I even did a loan process and had to provide documents I paid this account off. The account number that I have because it was such a long time ago is XXXX. AMEX is telling me with XXXX I have some type of freeze or my credit etc. and they can not update my credit report to show I have paid and settled. This has ruined my credit since 2019. I keep contacting XXXX, they are stating I do not have a freeze on my report. I downloaded the app, paid for the service to unlock my credit report, still not working. I have given up on calling AMEX. I have paid many items that went into collections a while back, I paid, and settled, and all of them updated my credit report. AMEX Is stating they can not. I have no idea what is going on. AMEX has ruined my credit for many years now. I can not do anything about it. I have proof I have paid them. AMEX knows I paid them, but some how they can not update my credit report because of a freeze. There is no freeze on my credit. The balance is showing {$4000.00} but I settled. Two years ago when I filled my taxes, AMEX sent me a document to show the charge off, I had to taxes on that as well. This DEBT needs to be updated on my credit report to show settled in full, NOT UNPAID WHICH IS RUINING MY CREDIT. I am so frustrated with this. no one is helping me.
