Consumer Complaint: The loan agency incorrectly capitalized my loan and the agent of the lender confirmed this error when Called and complained about the statement they sent back around about XX/XX/XXXX I requested that the balance be recalculated and I have been call but they have failed to act till the end of the year now. Prior to this time the lender has made every effort to encumber me from the easy refinancing of the loans even when I had great credit score and became a permanent resident. When the interest rates where going to be changed I called to refinance but the agent delayed me and made me call back the next week for no reason and I lost the low interest rates, plus they refused to even approve every single time. There was a time in XXXX that one of the agent gave me wrong information that I had no repayment hold remedies, causing me so much distress until upon other calls another agent gave the right information. I need to be able to have their cooperation in not inflating the rates. I have commenced the required arbitration proceeding as contracted - The XXXX limit prevents me from attaching a copy of the proceeding.

Subissue: Trouble with how payments are being handled
Consumer Complaint: As of XX/XX/2022, Discover Student Loans ceased the ability for borrowers who are charged off from paying through their online portal. The only way to pay is by telephone where Discover Bank purposefully attempts to verify your personal information for debt collection purposes. They have provided me with zero explanation for this change of policy nor have they provided any notice whatsoever for this change of policy. I have made payments every month for six years on my charged off loan through the internet with no issues. They are simply attempting to prejudice alleged delinquent borrowers and inconvenience them.

Issue: Managing an account
Subissue: Deposits and withdrawals
Consumer Complaint: My mother set up a Discover Bank account to save money for my daughter. When my mother passed we transferred that account to me to manage. Before the pandemic I had an automatic transfer setup to deposit money on a monthly basis to keep it growing. When the pandemic hit, we stopped depositing money, and only checked the account around tax time to see how much interest was added. I am filling out some paperwork today and needed to check on the savings total, but was locked out of my online account. After calling Discover and regaining access to my account, I scrolled down through the transactions and saw that there were XXXX fraudulent transfers out of my account. All were transferred out using XXXX. XX/XX/XXXX - {$600.00} to XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX - {$580.00} to XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX - {$600.00} to XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX - {$600.00} to XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX - {$600.00} to XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX - {$600.00} to XXXX XXXX I also noticed that my email address was changed to XXXX At this point I called DiscoverBank.com and reported the fraud on XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX. But because the fraudulent transactions occurred more than 120 days ago, they could not do anything to reimburse me. They suggested I contact XXXX, so I did ( XXXX ), and was told that it wasn't their problem, that it had to do with Discover 's policies. So I called Discover back and they confirmed that because it had occurred more than 120 days ago, they could do nothing to reimburse me. I asked how someone was able to change my email address without anything alerting me and they said that " our system clearly noted something had happened because it stopped any future transfers of funds beyond the XX/XX/XXXX transaction, and suspended online access to your account. '' I was not notified by phone or email or mail that access to my account had been suspended. If I hadn't been doing paperwork today and needed to check the balance, I would not have noticed until tax time. There is no recourse for me to get any of this money back. Money that my retired parents ( XXXX passed 7 years ago ) helped build up over 10 years. My XXXX researched XXXX companies before landing on Discover to create this savings account. She put her faith in them to help us build a nest egg for our daughter. And because I wasn't checking the account every month ( why would I since nothing was going in, I ASSUMED nothing was going out ), and because of some random number of days they have assigned to their policy... it's not their problem. Shame on me for being a working class Mom with more than enough stuff on her plate to pay attention to than to keep an eye out for someone sucking our daughter 's savings dry. Discover should be ashamed of themselves. I made a formal complaint, but expect to hear nothing back. I have closed our account.

Consumer Complaint: Discover Card account ending in XXXX. This account has been in dispute since XXXX. I opened the account in XXXX paying for the additional Protection Plan. In XXXX, I experienced severe medical issue causing loss of employment, however I was able to initially use my Protection Plan Coverage for waiving the monthly payments until Discover decided not to allow additional use and stated that the program no longer applied. Subsequently offering a new payment arrangement plan to bring the account current. However, instead of honoring the arrangement my account was now a Collections account. In XX/XX/XXXX, I attempted to bring my account current to remove the collection status off my credit report, however was informed that the account was now Charged Off and would remain at this status regardless if it was paid off and that I would not be able to reuse the account upon satisfying the charge off. I continued to try to work with XXXX XXXX XXXX to correct this issue. In XX/XX/XXXX, a registered letter was mailed to Discover with a payment to make the payments to satisfy the collection and keep the account open. Discover did not immediate respond, however applied the payment to my account. In XX/XX/XXXX, I was offered a Settlement Agreement in the amount of {$4300.00}. I agreed to the settlement and begin additional payments totaling {$2700.00}. I received my updated credit report on XX/XX/XXXX and Discover sent to the Credit Reporting Agencies a " Closed Account '' status effective XX/XX/XXXX, while I am still making the settlement payments and causing my credit score to drop XXXX points. Discover never stated that they would instantly report a " Closed Account '' status once I agreed to the settlement. I was informed since XXXX that the account was closed and charged off so why would they suddenly send to the Credit Reporting Agencies a Closed status affecting my credit score. I also have a letter from Discover dated XX/XX/XXXX, stating that " Discover is required to report the account to the Consumer Reporting Agencies as a disputed account until I advise them to remove the dispute status '' I HAVE NOT advised of any such removal of a dispute status. The account is still considered a dispute due to Discover not allowing me to use my Payment Protection Coverage that I paid into since XXXX during my employment loss causing my account to go into Charge Off status. I feel that this is an intentional wrong against me to affect my credit. I would really appreciate some legal assistance in this matter. I have attached the letters from Discover regarding the Correspondence " Disputed Account '' and the Account Settlement Agreement.

Consumer Complaint: I tried to access my account on XX/XX/22 online. The system needed to verify me but they only had my old cell phone number on file. They had no other automated way to verify me even though my email address had not changed. I had to call and they still would not do anything for me until I faxed or sent a copy of my Drivers License. I don't have access to the technology for this and don't make it into town often, hence why I do my banking online. I filed a complaint here already and the response took almost a month to reach me. This is the exact response I got : " You may also mail or fax the document with the information provided below. Please include your full name, address and last four digits of your account number should you wish to fax or mail the information. Discover Bank XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, UT XXXX Fax ( XXXX ) XXXX Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to be of service. Should you have any questions or concerns, please contact me at ( XXXX ) XXXX, Monday through Friday, from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, ( XXXX ). Sincerely, XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX CC : Consumer Financial Protection Burea '' On XX/XX/22 I finally made it into town and went to a local credit union to ask if they could fax it. They said it was not a service they provided but they would do it one time for me. They proceeded to fax it and I waited until they received a confirmation that it had been sent successfully. I called Discover the next day, XX/XX/22, to access my account and they could not locate my fax and therefore would not give me access to my account unless I told them the number that the fax came from. I don't have that info and the credit union is not able to give it to me because it is a phone system, whatever that means. I followed Discover 's instructions exactly ( nowhere in the instructions did it indicate I would have to provide the fax number it was coming from ) and they still won't allow me access to my money. It has been withheld from me for 30 days now. I am still receiving monthly statements to my address on file with them that has NOT changed. All I want is to close the account. They can either send me a check to the address they are still using for statements OR they can send the money through ACH to the XXXX account that is also on file on my account.
