Complaint:
XXXX  XX/XX/XXXX -Merchant called me and pressured me into a travel package. After refusing initial offers, merchant kept aggressively pitching more travel/lodging days in an effort to entice me.

I also provided a copy of my driver 's license upon request. 

XXXX  XX/XX/XXXX - Merchant emails confirmation of purchase along with purchase certificate to sign and return back. Upon review, I noticed the terms within purchase certificate of 'non-refundable '.

XXXX XX/XX/XXXX - XXXX called the merchant 's customer service in an attempt to cancel the travel package since I didn't intend to sign the purchase agreement. Customer service noted that requests for cancelation are to be handled via email. I proceeded to request cancellation and obtain full refund.

Complaint:
I have sent Discover three certified letters ( XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, all three in XXXX, attached ) that I disputed an account ( Account number XXXX, Charge-off Balance {$15000.00} ) on my credit report. I have requested an investigation of these accounts and of any proof that these accounts are mine but they have ignored my letters and phone calls. More importantly they have refuse to include a posting of a Notice of Dispute to my XXXX credit report which is a requirement that needs to be placed no later than 30 days after being notified of the dispute. As of XX/XX/XXXX that has still not been done ( see attachment ). 

Per the FCRA : FCRA Section 623 ( b ) ( 1 ) provides than when a furnisher receives a notice of dispute regarding the completeness or accuracy of reported information from a CRA, the furnisher must conduct a reasonable investigation and review all relevant information provided by the CRA. 

Duty to Provide Notice of Dispute. If a consumer disputes the completeness or accuracy of furnished information, the furnisher must provide a notice of the dispute to the CRAs when furnishing the disputed information. The term negative information means information concerning a customers delinquencies, late payments, insolvency, or any form of default. 

Timing of Notice. The financial institution must provide the notice to the customer no later than 30 days after furnishing the negative information to a CRA. 

Substantial Penalties for FCRA Violations Not complying with the FCRA can subject the furnisher to statutory damages of {$100.00} - {$1000.00} per violation. The FCRA states that plaintiffs can also win punitive damages and recover attorney fees, these types of violations make appealing class-action targets. 

Attached is my current ( XX/XX/XXXX ) XXXX credit report of the Discover account. As you can see there is no Notice of Dispute even after seven months of disputing this account to the furnisher, Discover.
