Complaint:
It appears that my credit file has been compromised. Again, I was going through my records & noticed many information, accounts and items which do not belong to me. Since Im a stickler for research, I found that under section 605b of the FCRA you are required by law to remove & block any accounts or information which is found to be opened due to identity theft. The dispute items do not belong to me. Im attaching the required FTC Report for you and the bank 's records ( learned through more research both parties require ). Please remove the following items : XXXX XXXX Balance : {$2600.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX OF XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX  XX/XX/XXXX. If you feel there is a possibility these accounts belong to me I will require all documentation that bears my signature ( another research item I found that requires you to verify with 100 % accuracy that each account is 100 % true, accurate, correct, complete & VERIFIABLE ). If you do not provide any records & claim the item is verified please understand I will seek legal action. I do not take kindly to games nor does my attorney. SO please comply with the law so this matter can be handled swiftly.

Company: DISCOVER BANK
State: CA
Product: Credit card or prepaid card

Issue: Closing your account
Sub-issue: Company closed your account

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I attempted to use my Discover credit card to make a purchase with XXXX XXXX, and to my unpleasant surprise, my card was declined. I didnt overthink it since I figured it was some technical hiccup, so I used a different credit card and went about my day. Imagine my surprise when my card was declined again on XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX. It was at this point that I logged in to my account and noticed that {$0.00} were available of my {$21000.00} credit line with less than {$200.00} in charges currently on my account. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I called the Discover support team to which I was met with no information and asked to call back the next day since the department I needed to speak with was unavailable. I called in again on XX/XX/XXXX and was informed that my account was closed and to look for information in the mail. According to the letter received from Discover, my account was closed due to a business decision without any details as to why and without any prior notice to allow for resolution of the supposed issue. 

According to the CARD Act of 2009, financial institutions such as Discover are required to provide a notice of account closure at least 14 days before the action being taken, which was not done, in addition to only providing a vague reason as to why my account was closed, leading me to believe that I am being unfairly targeted by Discover for questionable and seemingly unethical reasons. 

I feel that this closure was unfair, unjustified and without merit since I have followed the guidelines of the Cardmember Agreement and have never been late on payments in the 4+ years that I have been a customer of Discover.

Complaint:
Accounts on my consumer report have been linked to identity theft, and I never provided written authorization, including a wet signature, for their inclusion. I recently communicated with your organization about this matter, and I am formally requesting the prompt blocking and removal of these accounts from my report. Their presence has caused significant emotional and financial distress, as they inaccurately represent my credit history and responsibilities. If this issue is not appropriately addressed, I am prepared to take legal action to protect my rights and seek resolution. These fraudulent items on my credit record have hindered my ability to achieve important financial goals, such as purchasing a home and meeting the needs of my family.

Complaint:
A document titled " Equifax Credit File '' I received in XX/XX/XXXX from Equifax in response to my request for my file disclosure contained two tradelines that contained information that was related to the same information that Equifax had agreed to delete from my file. I brought this to the attention of Equifax within 30 days of receiving the document ( letter attached ). I never received a response. I requested another file disclosure in XX/XX/XXXX and finally received a document titled " Equifax Credit FIle '' dated XX/XX/XXXX. It still contained the same two tradelines that should have been deleted from my file. The attached letter is being submitted again to remind Equifax of its duty to remove information related to a tradeline it had agreed to delete.

Complaint:
We previosuly filed a complaint with Bank of America -- case # XXXX. XXXX XXXX from the regulatory complaint dept responded. First off ... .XXXX should not be representing any executive response unit if she can not return calls. After receiving response, she did not return 3 phone message that were left for her. Awful customer service and again not a good representation of the company if she can not return phone calls. Secondly, she never addressed the credit INQUIRY on my credit report. I want the hard inquiry removed. Thirdly, when we received the response one of the letters had an address of a letter addressed to XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX VA XXXX. Where did this address come from? Did the perpetrator change it to that? I need answers. Also, XXXX, I told her I placed credit freezes on and she addressed it again. She is just not a good reader or responder. I would like someone else from the company to answer the original request about the INQUIRY and also the subsequent address for which I have never been associated with.
