A Los Angeles consumer plagued by alleged false and inaccurate credit reporting by American Express is fighting back in a Los Angeles courtroom. Steven Warner is a former manager for his company, TPL Communications. However, Mr. Warner was never an owner, officer or director. At the request of his employer, Mr. Warner called AMEX to inform them that one of the partners, James Briggs, was retiring, and that the AMEX should take Mr. Briggs’ name off of the account. AMEX did not warn Mr. Warner that, without his permission, knowledge or consent, it transferred the account into Mr. Warner’s name. When TPL ran into financial difficulties some years later, AMEX sought to collect the entire TPL corporate debt from Mr. Warner, and ruined his credit in the process. Mr. Warner’s lawsuit is pending in the Los Angeles Superior Court, Warner v. American Express, Case No. BC 430180, and is schedule for trial in 2012. Mr.Warner is represented by Robert F. Brennan of Brennan, Wiener & Associates in La Crescenta, widely regarded as the leading consumer protection, identity theft and wrongful credit damage law firm in Southern California.
