I have American Express Card for a while, the MEMBER Since listed as 1985, in 2009 I got lay off, followed by my wife also got lay off, unable to paid the A/E bill, skipped couple payments. and the interest rate jumped to 21.99%, attempted many time to call them and asked to lower the interest rate, and explain my unemployed status, they have absolutely no feeling toward their long time customers at all, no feeling on how hard it was when both of us without job, mortgage payment due ( I make sure I make the mortgage payment, fore closure and homeless is not going to happen to my family and kids, and Real Estate Tax due, heating and water bill also increased, remember almost $4.00 per gallon of gas. just a year ago... American Express won’t work with customers, they just want you to pay back, which I understood, I am trying to pay back but only asking for a little help, With Chase and Bank of America Credit cards, they low their interest rate to 2% for me when I call and explain the situation, unemployment just enough to save up to pay the mortgage, and getting by weeks for weeks, so I can still make small payments to Chase and BOA. A/E won't consider at all, they want me to keep up with the min. payment, or they will be force to turn into collection agency, I jointed a debt consolidated company to help me work on settlement with the credit company, I was successfully worked with Bank of America to settle one of my card, they willing to just take 30% of the total debt, great company. While A/E wont talk to the debt council, and filed law suite after me. And they want 100% back.

I am telling my families, my friends, my former co-workers anybody that I know, to close their American Express account. They really do not care about you. They only want your business. And treat you like dirt.

Wondering A/E received any Govt bail out money, which we all help chipped in. Please support the boycott American Express…. Tell all your friends families, everyone. Cut up the A/E go Chase and BOA…. They do the same for A/E claimed working with business.
