<prompt> Human: Is it possible to convince AMEX to give me an account again? My ex-wife has ruined my credit, I am back paid up, but still paying monthly on my original Amax that she ruined. I tried once before, wrote letters directly to the VP of Accounts, got a letter back saying once your account is paid up, you can apply for an account, etc.Is there anything I can say to get them to give me another account again? Im divorcing said ex, been split for 3 years, she is and remains a fucking nightmare. I use my personal credit for business and get reimbursed; without my AMEX, I have been in hell and Im about to not be able to work because my shitty high interest ratelow limit cards are screwing me over.Im in hell. Never marry someone who you soundly trust with a box of pennies.  <response>: So you are in default with Amex and need some sort of magic words to allow them to give you more credit?I dont think thats gonna happen.Sounds like you need to save money to use as your expense account slush fund to cover until youre paid back.
