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 made a purchase in XX/XX/2021 for {$350.00} for vitamins. I received an empty envelope. I contacted my discover card and filed a dispute. They have taken the charge off and on since then I had text and proof of my purchase and photos of empty package. I did not buy web design as the vendor stated. I backed up my claim and discover received my backup. On XX/XX/XXXX they put the charge back on my card without telling me in writing or phone. I still have no letter or proof of vendors claim which is the law and no letter stating I can appeal I have called discover 3 times but they just stalled. I spoke to XXXX in exec office at discover. She never called back as promised. She finally said they sided for the vendor. I said you are taking his word over mine and they said he is a client too. Thats strange since Im the one missing {$350.00}. I am attaching backup of texts and my empty envelope and my emails claiming nothing was in the envelope.

Issue: Managing an account

Subissue: Deposits and withdrawals

Consumer Complaint: I received a check for {$2900.00} from an advertising company to pay for installation of advert on my vehicle and payment to me for advertisement. My payment was to be {$500.00} out of this check, the rest was to pay installation.I deposited into my savings and did not take any money from it because I wanted to make sure check was good. After crediting my account for the amount of check, the following day it was taken back out by the bank who said check was returned. But all it says is returned check deposit on the transaction and I questioned that this would look as though it was me, income I received but I was told by bank that, No, thats how its done. ( This is second time this happens ) But XXXX shows it as income so Im inclined to agree since I was afraid of exact thing. Thank you

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed

Subissue: Debt was paid

Consumer Complaint: When I signed the original promissory note ( which by law is the negotiable instrument and is considered legal tender after the Bankruptcy Act of 1933 was enacted ) for Discover to complete the credit sale, the consumer credit transaction should have been paid in full. According to 16 CFR 433.1, the creditor and the seller got into a business arrangement and gave me a purchase money loan in exchange for a finance charge. According to CFR 433.2, In connection with any sale or lease of goods or services to consumers, in or affecting commerce as commerce is defined in the Federal Trade Commission Act, it is an unfair or deceptive act or practice within the meaning of section 5 of that Act for a seller, directly or indirectly, to : ( a ) Take or receive a consumer credit contract which fails to contain the following provision in at least ten point, bold face, type : NOTICE ANY HOLDER OF THIS CONSUMER CREDIT CONTRACT IS SUBJECT TO ALL CLAIMS AND DEFENSES WHICH THE DEBTOR COULD ASSERT AGAINST THE SELLER OF GOODS OR SERVICES OBTAINED PURSUANT HERETO OR WITH THE PROCEEDS HEREOF. RECOVERY HEREUNDER BY THE DEBTOR SHALL NOT EXCEED AMOUNTS PAID BY THE DEBTOR HEREUNDER. According to 16 CFR 433.3, every seller who has taken or received an open end consumer credit contract after November 1st, 1977 are not exempt from a consumer asserting his rights against any holder of the contract all legally sufficient claims and defenses which the consumer could assert against the seller of goods or services purchased pursuant to the contract. So therefore, I am asserting my rights against DISCOVER for goods purchased. According to 16 CFR 444.3, in connection with the extension of credit to consumers in or affecting commerce, as commerce is defined in the Federal Trade Commission Act, it is a deceptive act or practice within the meaning of section 5 of that Act for a lender or retail installment seller, directly or indirectly, to misrepresent the nature or extent of cosigner liability to any person. It is also considered an unfair act or practice within the meaning of section 5 of that Act for a lender or retail installment seller, directly or indirectly, to obligate a cosigner unless the cosigner is informed prior to becoming obligated, which in the case of open end credit shall mean prior to the time that the agreement creating the cosigner 's liability for future charges is executed, of the nature of his or her liability as cosigner. I am competent of understanding I am the cosigner for my principal obligor. I also never received the " Notice to Cosigner '' before becoming obligated. This was also unauthorized use pursuant to 15 USC1602 ( p ). I received no benefit of my credit card being used by DISCOVER. DISCOVER committed aggravated identity theft under Title 18 U.S. Code 1028A on four separate occasions as DISCOVER BANK has knowingly used without lawful authority, a means of my identification in order to compromise my bank account instead of directly communicating with me first about the confusion in how to correctly apply my payment for four separate times. Each case of aggravated identity theft under Title 18 U.S. Code 3571, is a felony and a fine in the amount {$500000.00}. DISCOVER BANK created a false and deceptive form under 15 U.S. Code 1692j. The delivery of a false and deceptive form constitutes mail fraud pursuant to 18 U.S. Code 1341. Pursuant to 18 U.S. Code 1341, whoever, having devised or intending to devise any scheme or artifice to defraud for obtaining money or property by means of false or fraudulent representations, obligation, security for the purpose of executing such scheme or artifice or attempting so to do, places in any POST OFFICE for mail matter to be sent or delivered by any private or commercial interstate carrier, or takes or receives therefrom, any such matter or thing, or knowingly causes to be delivered by mail or such carrier according to the direction thereon, or at the place at which it is directed to be delivered by the person to whom it is addressed, any such matter or thing that affects a financial institution ( in this matter XXXX XXXX ), such person shall be fined not more than {>= $1,000,000} or imprisoned not more than 30 years, or both. I made payment to DISCOVER by way of an qualified indorsement with the words " without recourse '' on the negotiable instrument that was sent to meant to me via mail. According to Uniform Commercial Code 3-415, if I indorse with the words " without recourse '' all liability is off of me. Also, if a notice of dishonor is not given to me, the liability is discharged.

Consumer Complaint: I purchased online 4 car wheels which had defects from a merchant. I requested the merchant send me a prepaid shipping label to return those wheels but they refused, I then submitted a dispute through my credit card bank to help with the dilemma. My credit card bank did not obtain a pre paid shipping label from the merchant so I could ship the wheels back without any expense, since the wheels were defective and of no use to me. Thank You

Subissue: Company closed your account

Consumer Complaint: Hi there, I applied for a credit card " Discover it '' from Discover on XX/XX/XXXX and got approved on XX/XX/XXXX. Afterwards, they asked me to file an XXXX form and upload a picture of my SSN card to verify my information. I filed the form and submitted the picture. However, afterwards, I got informed by my employer that the information on my social security records was incorrect. I called Discover that my date of birth was wrong on my social security records and telling them I will update my information on social security records as soon as possible. They told me that as long as it can be fixed by XX/XX/XXXX, it would be fine. However, on XX/XX/XXXX, I received an email from Discover telling me that my account was closed because of not abling to verify my information. They closed my account and will report the account closed by creditors to credit bureaus, which would hurt my credit score a lot. I called them several times telling them I've already corrected my information on social security records. They refused to verify my information for me, and insist that I can only re-apply the account again. Thank you!
