Issue: Took or threatened to take negative or legal action

Subissue: Threatened to sue you for very old debt

Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/XXXX around XXXX XXXX I heard a very loud and aggressive banging at my door. I did not see a car parked in my driveway nor across the street. I asked who was at the door and what they wanted. The individual said she was from the sheriffs office and when I opened the door, the officer hid on the side of the house and then proceeded to hand me the paperwork. She did not ask for my ID and she signed off on the document. This debt is from XX/XX/XXXXthat I was paying on regularly until XXXX. I had to use this card to pay for my mother funeral in XXXX. I have not been gainfully employed since XXXX until XXXX and I am now only working part time. I am not looking for compassion but the tactics were aggressive and unwarranted especially for someone like me that suffers from XXXX with documentation to support that. I have submitted an Answer Document to the law firm : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, NC but have not been able to speak to an actual person.

They are now threatening me for an alleged debt that DISCOVER BANK claim I owe. I never received a Material Disclosure of any of the information that was supposed to be provided to me. DISCOVER BANK has taken an unfair advantage of me as a consumer and they should be held accountable for deceiving me.

Issue: Problem when making payments

Subissue: Problem during payment process

Consumer Complaint: In XXXX of XXXX, I contacted Discover Bank to inform them I would be unable to make a payment because I was forced to leave my home during the Texas Snowstorm. Also at this time, I gave Discover my new banking information, as I was using XXXX XXXX, and they had seperated from XXXX and gone to their own operating system. I informed the collections agent that I would be paying during the month of XXXX when I was able to do so, as I had missed a week of work and was not going to be payed by my job during the week of the storm. In XX/XX/XXXX a payment was made using the XXXX XXXX account in the amount of XXXX dollars, which was processed correctly. In XX/XX/XXXX, I contacted Discover to ask an unrelated question. I was encouraged to sign up for XXXX XXXX and was told not to worry and all my payments would be processed automatlically. I expressed my concern to the agent that any post dated check payments would not be processed, as XXXX does not issue checks and does not except check debits from outside sources. I accepted the agents offer based on her assurances everything would be processed correctly, and made a payment in the amount of XXXX using a post dated check system, rather than an ACH. My payment of XXXX payment was returned a week later, and I called to make a replacement payment using the same banking information. The agent assured me this payment would be processed using the ACH method, and was processed correctly on XX/XX/XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX, I contacted Discover to make a XXXX dollar payment to my account, and explained the necessity to process the payment as an ACH and not a post dated check. She stated she was processing my check as an ACH. On XX/XX/XXXX, my payment returned. I was told this payment was processed as a post dated check, even though I had asked Discover not to. On XX/XX/XXXX, I attempted to process another XXXX payment. I was told this was returned on XX/XX/XXXX. It is unclear why this payment was returned, and was advised by Discover that I should contact my bank. My bank is unaware of any payments made and stated that they could track a payment using a trace ID number. Discover is unwilling to give me the Trace ID number and has stated that any payments returned will be reported to my credit, and is unwilling to work with me.

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: This fraudulent charge happened XX/XX/21 at XXXX of {$1400.00} at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX # XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX MARYLAND XXXX With the name of XXXX XXXX as stated by discover through mobile wallet XXXX XXXX with my discover card. I received a text asking if I made this transaction the day the charge was made and I replied no. I immediately called them and they gave me a new account # and credited me back the amount. They said they would contact me again for further questioning. Assuming that this has been taken care of since they gave me credit I thought I didnt have to worry anymore. XX/XX/XXXX, I check my discover card and I see the charge is posted again. So I call them back and they said they tried to contact me with further questioning and left me a voice mail and letter. I told them I never answer unknown calls and my voicemail wasnt set up since I updated my phone and didnt get the messages till I set up my voicemail the day of XX/XX/XXXX when they already closed the case. Plus I just moved into a new apt in XXXX so my mail could of been mixed up. I then asked how and who made this charged and what was the reasoning of resolving this case Below are the reasons : -a charge made through mobile XXXX XXXX had to be used with my physical phone and XXXXXXXX XXXX login to authorize a charge -I didnt follow up within the 60 days ( which I explain above ) I live and work in XXXX when this fraud happened, so why would they resolve this case when they told me an XXXX XXXX made this charge in Maryland. I also have no authorized users on my account nor have anyone permission to use my card or phone with personal information. How can Discover say a man named XXXX XXXX made this purchase in Maryland where I have never visited and still believe I made this transaction when I was in XXXX with my physical phone on me. I asked for a written document of the reasons above and they would not give me one without a subpoena. Then asked for a re opening of this case. I sent them screenshot documents of a possible reason that I was hacked through my phone with XXXX security update of stating that my information may have been compromised on XX/XX/XXXX. I also filed a police report on XX/XX/XXXX which they didnt do much to investigate the fraud since it was in Maryland which wasnt helpful for me. They then sent me an affidavit that I signed agreeing that it was a charge I did not authorize on XX/XX/XXXX. I followed up with phone calls making sure they received this information on XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX which they then told me there still wasnt sufficient evidence in resolving this case and there isnt any more recourse to be done. As you can already tell how frustrating this is as this is a clear case of fraud and personal hacking And I tried my best to give them as much info involving the police and any documents. I will now have to file a small claims against Discover to win this case.

Issue: Advertising and marketing, including promotional offers

Subissue: Didn't receive advertised or promotional terms

Consumer Complaint: Discover did not fulfill their promotion regarding a {$45.00} statement credit when signing up for a XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX membership. Discover sent me an email on XX/XX/XXXX ( see attached ) about a promotion that stated " Get a {$45.00} statement credit when you activate this offer and sign up for a new {$45.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX membership online or in club with your Discover Card by XX/XX/XXXX. '' At the bottom of the email they included the fine print which included certain criteria that must be met. One of those said that the " Offer fulfilled as a statement credit within three billing cycles after the end of the promotion. '' As a result, I waited until XXXX to contact them to ensure that the full three billing cycles were met. I called them and had online chats with them on XX/XX/XXXX questioning why I didn't receive the statement credit. I had followed the criteria in the fine print. I purchased a XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Membership on XX/XX/XXXX with my Discover card using the link provided in the email. I have never been a member of XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX before. I authorized annual recurring charges when purchasing the membership. I purchased the membership in the U.S. I've never used this promotion before or anything related to this promotion. I do not work or have ever worked for XXXX or XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX. I am above the age of XXXX. When I contacted Discover on XX/XX/XXXX they could not provide me a reason why I would not receive the {$45.00} statement credit and they said there was nothing they can do or I can do to remedy the situation.
