Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Subissue: Account information incorrect
Consumer Complaint: After receiving a response from Discover and XXXX regarding an ongoing dispute regarding the incorrect pay history/ closure date provided on my credit reports, the issue remains. The credit card balance for this account was paid in full in XX/XX/XXXX and the account was officially closed that same month. The derogatory months for the pay history have yet to be corrected along with the closure date on my credit reports which is inaccurate and false information. XXXX is still reporting XX/XX/XXXX through XX/XX/XXXX as derogatory, then XX/XX/XXXX as an on time payment then closed in XX/XX/XXXX. XXXX is reporting derogatory payments from XX/XX/XXXX through XX/XX/XXXX and then a positive pay history for XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX, then FINALLY closed in XX/XX/XXXX. As seen in the attached credit reports from XXXX and XXXX, Discover is reporting false and inaccurate information. A representative by the name of XXXX from the Executive Office oXXXX XXXX XXXX for Discover, is refusing to correct the payment history and provide the correct closure date for the account. I AM ALSO STILL RECEIVEING MONTHLY STATEMENTS ON THIS CLOSED CREDIT CARD ACCOUNT THAT WAS PAID IN FULL. A complete investigation was not conducted by XXXX nor XXXX from Discover as can be seen by the attachments for this complaint. I also spoke to a representative on XX/XX/XXXX from XXXX on a recorded line for them to review the Discover account confirm that the account was closed, but still reporting a pay history up until XX/XX/XXXX.

Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement
Subissue: Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement
Consumer Complaint: I am a natural person and federally protected consumer. I entered into a consumer credit transaction ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ( i ) ) with DISCOVER FINANCIAL SERVICES on XXXX of XXXX in which I opened an account, an extension of credit as defined by XXXX XXXX XXXX ( a ), that has been used for personal, family, and household purposes. It has come to my attention that my current account does not comply with federal law as I do so believe that pursuant to XXXX XXXX XXXX ( j ) my account should be an open end credit plan. It has also come to my attention that my account has billing errors and I am disputing all past, present and future amounts. Pursuant to XXXX XXXX XXXX ( a ) ( XXXX ), I am requesting documentary evidence ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) for book of accounts as described in XXXX Publication XXXX. In order to verify such amounts, I need to see the bookkeeping audit trail from both the private and public side to verify the current accounting and taxes associated with this account. I am invoking my rights as a federally protected consumer to withhold all past, present and future amounts in dispute pursuant to XXXX XXXX XXXX ( d ) ( XXXX ). Because I am invoking my rights, DISCOVER FINANCIAL SERVICES can not make or threaten any adverse reporting to any person about the consumers credit standing without first resolving billing error pursuant to XXXX XXXX XXXX ( d ) ( XXXX ). Lastly, DISCOVER FINANCIAL SERVICES can not and shall not restrict, limit, close, cause any disruption of any manner nor accelerate payments of the account and DISCOVER FINANCIAL SERVICES has legally agreed to forfeit its rights to collect on all past, present, and future amounts in dispute under XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) pursuant to XXXX XXXX XXXX ( d ) ( XXXX ). Pursuant to XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ), in an attempt to correct the billing error my credit balance is {$4700.00} which is a surplus of {$1.00} and the amount balance should be credited and the remaining balance must be directed to me, the consumer, payable by check monthly pursuant to XXXX XXXX XXXX ( a ) and XXXX XXXX XXXX. I believe that DISCOVER FINANCIAL SERVICES has knowingly, intentionally, with forethought and malice deceptively been sending dividends via the mail and misrepresented the dividend as an invoice for the consumer to pay. Because of such deception, I have electronically transferred funds using my personal debit card information to DISCOVER FINANCIAL SERVICES. This constitutes racketeering activity ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) which would be embezzlement, theft by deception, extortion of credit and mail fraud. I am requiring that all past, present and future coupons be sent to my place of abode in form of a check payable to me. Lastly, DISCOVER FINANCIAL SERVICES has been sharing my nonpublic personal information with nonaffiliated third parties, consumer reporting agencies. I never received proper disclosures that were clear and conspicuous to OPT OUT pursuant to XXXX XXXX XXXX ( a ) ( XXXX ). Pursuant to XXXX XXXX XXXX ( a ), I failed to receive such disclosures nor was given a reasonable opportunity to OPT OUT, and now I am at risk for potential identity theft as my nonpublic personal information has been communicated without my consent to the consumer reporting agencies. In accordance with XXXX XXXX XXXX ( a ) ( XXXX ), I am giving my written instructions to report this account as paid in full and paid as agreed monthly. Pursuant to XXXX XXXX XXXX, it DISCOVER FINANCIAL SERVICESs responsibility to protect the security and confidentiality of my nonpublic personal information and I do not believe that was done on my behalf.

Consumer Complaint: I was approved for a Discover It secured credit card in XXXX of XXXX and put down a {$700.00} deposit. I received an email from Discover in XXXX of XXXX asking how I would like to receive my security deposit back if I determined to be eligible for it. I followed the link in the email and entered my account information so that if I was eligible in the future, my deposit would be refunded by direct deposit instead of getting a paper check. Discover sent me an email on XX/XX/XXXX saying that my card would be transitioned to an unsecured card because I demonstrated good credit habits. My credit limit was increased ( effective immediately ) and I was told that my {$700.00} deposit would be refunded to my bank account in 1-3 business days. On XX/XX/XXXX I contacted Discover using their support chat to ask about the status of my refund since I had not received it. I was told that I would receive my refund by ACH transfer within 13 days of the statement cycling. I was then informed that my cycle date was XX/XX/XXXX, and should receive it by XX/XX/XXXX. I asked why the emails say 1-3 days if it really takes XXXX days after the statement cycles, which is weeks after you receive the email. I didn't receive an answer, but the rep said they would pass my feedback along. I reached out again via support chat on XX/XX/XXXX right after XXXX and didn't receive a response until XXXX, when I had stepped away from the computer and was unavailable. I contacted Discover for the XXXX time via support chat on XX/XX/XXXX. I was informed that Discover is aware of an issue where some refunds have been delayed, and that my account actually graduated to an unsecured account on XX/XX/XXXX, not XX/XX/XXXX. I was FLOORED to find that out there was delay on my XXXX time contacting them when that was never mentioned previously. The rep then left the chat and was replaced by a supervisor. I asked when the ACH transfer was initiated and after evading the question at least 3 times, I was told that they didn't have that information to give me. I was also told that I should've received my refund 1-3 after the account graduated ( XXXX ), meaning that I should've gotten my money back XXXX weeks ago. I expressed my concerns about the ambiguity of the responses received from customer service and feeling like I was intentionally misled, because I wasn't notified of a delay the previous times I contacted Discover. It's absolutely ridiculous for them to send emails telling their customers that they'll get their refund in 1-3 business days if they are AWARE of a delay, and it's even more astonishing that they aren't up-front about the situation the first time customers contact them about the status of their refund. In an ideal world they would notify customers about issues like this proactively, but that's not the case here. I constantly felt like I had to fight to get ANY questions answered. I was told there was nothing I could do but wait, and they were not able to make any guesses about when I would get my money back. I asked if they could cancel the ACH and send a paper check ( which according to their email, takes 5-7 days ) and they said no. I asked if they could do ANYTHING to be more accommodating, like delay my payment due date, and they also said no. Discover is holding onto {$700.00} of MY money, but I am expected to pay my statement on time. Lastly, I asked if they could email me a transcript of the chat log once we disconnected, and I was also told no. They said I could copy and paste it onto a document and email it to myself ( the email is attached ). I asked who I should contact if I wanted to make a formal complaint, and I was advised to come back to the support chat. This whole situation has left an incredibly bad taste in my mouth and seems very shady.

Consumer Complaint: I applied for a loan with Discover Personal Loans and denied based on the status of a previous account. The status of my previous account is that it was discharged in a bankruptcy over 10 years ago and no longer appears on any public records or my credit. I mailed Discover a letter to inform them that my previous account was discharged in a bankruptcy and they received it on XX/XX/21 per XXXX records. When I called on XX/XX/21 I confirmed with a member of the Discover Loan department that they showed my account was charged off. However, when I spoke with the Discover Card bankruptcy department they confirmed that they have documentation that my previous card was discharged in a bankruptcy. It is my understanding that the debt can no longer be settled due to the bankruptcy and XXXX-year statute of limitation on collections.
