I opened my January Am Ex Statement once, to find that the bill was for $27, 000.00. These were charges for the month of December and I am a jeweler. I live in South Georgia and the charges were in California. The charges were from all over the state, mostly in Home Depots. I called Am Ex and informed them that I did not make those charges. They asked me if I could prove I was not in California on the dates in question. I pointed out my occupation and that one of the charges was at a Home Depot on December 24th. In the 25 years that I have had my store I am always there on December 24th. Am Ex said they would investigate and I did not have to pay the charges.
I also had my bank call me three months ago and asked me if I was aware that my Insurance company was about to debit my checking account for over $8,000.00. I canceled that and called the insurance company to find out what was going on. Evidently who ever handled the transaction managed to mix my account up with a commercial account.
