Consumer Complaint: Discover closed my banking account on XXXX XX/XX/2022 with no other details than " due to a business decision. '' They refused to offer me further information when asked. This came after freezing my account on XX/XX/2022. This required me to stay on hold for over 14 cumulative hours to even talk to a security representative as they had no means of other contact and had high volume supposedly for " fraud attacks. '' Calls were frequently dropped on their end after being on hold for XXXX minutes at a time. My account was in good standing with a maintained balance and no overdrafts, fines, etc. I had recently made a deposit of {$16000.00} from a check that was a gift from my mother.

I the consumer also asked them to stop their illegal activities according to 15 USC 1681b 604 ( 2 ) immediately, but there has been no change and no response from their office. Since I the consumer sent these letters more than 30 business days ago, they have not responded and they failed to honor my request. The inaccurate information being illegally reported has unfortunately caused me harm. I the consumer wasnt able to obtain credit, housing, or employment and my ability to obtain insurance because of this inaccurate and unverifiable information is being reported on my consumer report. I the consumer did not apply for this and had the ( credit bureau ) been in compliance with the FCRA 604 15 USC section 1681b and 15 USC 1681A ( 1 ) as well as 15 USC 1681A ( 4 ) of the FCRA fairness, respect for consumer rights, impartiality and my right to privacy as the consumer would not have been violated.

Issue: Opening an account

Subissue: Unable to open an account

Consumer Complaint: I have a credit score over 820 and have been with Discover since XXXX I contacted discover Bank early in the morning to ask questions about their checking and savings promotion. An agent confirmed that I had never had a discover Bank account, she did notice my discover credit card and discover XXXX XXXX account. She noticed that the address on file was incorrect and asked me if she could update it. She then repeated the address correctly back to me reflecting my XXXX address. Later in the day I applied for the savings account online myself with promo code XXXX, and a request to find the account with {$25000.00}. The application was denied. I called into customer service ( XXXX XXXX in XXXX ) that was told my address was wrong, and I would have to submit an entirely new application. I thought this was completely ridiculous however supervisor XXXX ( rep ID XXXX ) assured me that the original application was cancelled and that we should try again after update my address apartment to the second line on my credit card file. I update this. I AGAIN submitted an online application for the savings account with funding deposit if {$25000.00} and promo code XXXX. This was again, denied. XXXX suggested that we try an application over the phone with her. She submitted a 3rd application with the same promo code, XXXX, and a third time it was denied. XXXX also mentioned that the rep form the morning did NOT update my address as she had indicated she had. I have spent more than 2 hours in the phone with Discover, and I still do not have an account or a solid reason as to why my application is being denied.
