Consumer Narrative
I am a XXXX yr customer of American Express with excellent payment history. I received an email on XXXX advising me that my payment was past due. I am very protective of my above XXXX cb score and shocked as I was not aware it was due, so I paid it immediately on XXXX ( balance was {$65.00} XXXX late fee ). I was somehow assigned to e-billing which I have never wanted and have requsted in the past that I recieve paper billing. I called American Express on XXXX and requested consideration for a XXXX late fee waiver under the circumstances and was denied. I went through my emails and I did not receieve an email prior to or on the due date only 3 days later when the late fee was assessed. I have notified Amex in the past that I do not want ebilling as its too easy to miss a statement with all of the junk emails they send. I feel that they intentionally want ebilling in hopes that they can generate these excessive late fees. I have also noticed that some cards put the placement of their ebilling requestes in popups on pages which are very deceptive and easy to click kin error- not stating that Amex does this specifically, but Im sure they all do. I am simply requesting the late fee waiver which is excessive for a XXXX balance as a long term customer.
