Issue: Problem when making payments

Subissue: Problem during payment process

Consumer Complaint: Discover et al is failing to post payments made on the account weeks after they have posted cleared on my bank account. They are systematically doing so in order to charge additional fees. And Discover et al is falsely reporting derogatory information on my credit report as a result of their accounting practices. I contacted them regarding this problem and they removed the fee, but when I checked my account a few days later, they still had not posted the payment made nearly a month ago nor the one that was made in the past 2 days.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Account information incorrect

Consumer Complaint: I do not like credit cards so use my bank 's Credit/Debit card for everything, or pay cash. My credit score last year was XXXX at this time. Usually I try to have XXXXne credit card for emergencies. I signed up for a Discover Card last year that offered a cash back balance after 13 months of use. I used the card three times in three months, one transaction per month and paid the bills on time. At the third month I noticed a small info box showing that I had {$.00} cash back rewards, XXXX XXXX for each purchase. This was NOT the deal Discover offered. XXXX XXXX per transaction was not worth the hassle of the credit card. I wrote to them to dispute their initiating offer and was double talked. I closed the account. My credit score dropped. My credit/debit card was hacked twice so my bank suggested I use their Master Card, so I applied and used the card to purchase one item : computer printer. The printer did not connect to my computer so I returned it for a refund. However my statement from Master Card showed two printers purchased and no return when I had only purchased one. I called their offices and they told me the credit had been issued and the second charge for the same amount had been removed, but what they said did NOT appear on my statements. I waited a month, the scenario was the same, two charges on my statement with no credit for the item I returned. I called them again. They assured me the second charge was removed and the credit issued despite it was not on my statement. The third month, the second charge had been removed and the credit issued. This was far too much chasing them regarding their mistakes on my account so I closed the account. My credit score dropped. Without a credit card for emergencies. I filed two complaints with your offices about their handling of my credit only to find your office dismissed my issues accepting blindly what Master Card and Discover said. Neither of these errors were my mistake. Before I found out your agency did absolutely nothing about my situation, I opted for another Discover Card, very stupid on my part. I did not know my credit scored dropped when I closed both accounts. After I received your response simply accepting their lies, I found out my credit score had dropped to XXXX from XXXX when I started. I have no bills unpaid or otherwise, my house is paid for, my car was paid for in cash, I never had graduate or XXXX loans because I paid the tuition in cash as I went along to avoid debt when I finished and continued paying cash for anything I purchased through today and I have NO LOANS at all. On XX/XX/XXXX I received an email from Discover that they had cancelled my second account for the following reasons : " Key factors that affected your credit score were as follows : Key Factor 1 Number of accounts with delinquency Key Factor 2 Lack of recent installment loan information Key Factor 3 Too few accounts currently paid as agreed Key Factor 4 Length of time accounts have been established '' 1, I have NO delinquent accounts. 2. I have no loans at all and never did. 3. I cancelled the two accounts that made mistakes on my account. I'm the consumer, it's my credit, I should have the right to open and close credit cards at will without penalty especially when the mistakes are those of the credit card company who I do not trust now. 4. Both accounts were opened but AFTER their made mistakes, I closed them, which is my right and should not be subject to penalty. My credit score is now XXXX, dropped over 100 points since my first dealing with Discover. After I received their email, I replied to Discover and searched the internet to find them listed at RIPOFF.com, together with hundreds of statements from consumers with similar problems, essentially stating boycott Discover because they don't honor the programs they advertise, they lie, cheat and steal as proven by their attached email which is completely false. So the problem is NOT ME, but I have been harmed. I am in the process of buying a house and this low score and sudden drop will affect what I purchase. I believe Discover cancelled the second card and invented their " KEY FACTORS '' which are all intentional lies in retaliation for my complaint to your agency. Again, I am penalized for the actions of Discover. Your agency was established to protect the consumer from these thieves. But there was no protection to me, your agency acquiesced to their lies causing me more harm. It is your job to protect the consumer NOT the credit card thieves. Please do so. Instead of being rewarded for good practices incurring no debt, I've been harmed. I paid out {$25000.00} in cash to my dentist for work, paid up front. These are not the actions of a deadbeat that drains on the system. I am XXXX years old and can not have this fictitious misinformation on my record.

Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement

Subissue: Card was charged for something you did not purchase with the card

Consumer Complaint: I have been a discover card holder for 10 years. During the time, my identity was compromised and I repeatedly had problems with usage of my card, name, SSN, among other pieces of information. I hope Discover is doing what they can on their end when it is happening with Discover card. On XXXX XXXX, 2020, I received a call from Discover card saying that someone was attempting to use my credit card at a hotel, XXXX XXXX in XXXX, WA, for {$2100.00}. I informed them I was in XXXX, WA ( 100+ miles away ) where I live and that the charge was fraudulent. Discover closed the account and sent me a new credit card as promised. On XX/XX/XXXX, Discover rebilled my account for {$2100.00}, claiming the XXXX XXXX had my driving license information. I will attempt to contact the Driving Licensing center as soon as I can, but they are very slow at the moment due to health concerns. I believe someone has obtained my information somehow. Due to needing to use my credit during the ongoing crisis, I have paid the charge rather than withhold the payment, but I expect Discover to refund me and to look into this. I have filed multiple police reports. The latest report number is XXXX ( it contains all the previous information ) with the XXXX, WA Police Department. The officer promised to look into photographs from the hotel. I have contacted multiple departments at Discover including the executive department. I keep receiving the same information about XXXX XXXX having my ID information. As mentioned, my information has been compromised for some time and I can document I was not in XXXX, WA.

Issue: Problem when making payments

Subissue: Problem during payment process

Consumer Complaint: I have been a with DISCOVER FINANCIAL SERVICES customer since XXXX and during that time, I have enjoyed my experience greatly. I am writing to see if you would be willing to make a " goodwill '' adjustment to your reporting to the three credit agencies. I have late payment on the above referenced account on date XX/XX/XXXX. Since that time I have been an exceptional customer paying every month on time. Because of my exceptional payment history over the last 4 years, I would like you to consider removing the negative payments from my credit reports per XXXX, XXXX and XXXXXXXX. At the time of the late payments, I was in the process of changing jobs. I say that not to justify why the payments were late, but rather to show that the late payments are not a good indicator of my actual credit worthiness.
