Company: DISCOVER BANK
State: GA
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement
Sub-issue: Overcharged for something you did purchase with the card

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2023, I made a purchase for an airline ticket. I then saw a charge to my card in the amount of {$240.00} that I did not authorize as that was not the cost of the ticket. I immediately reached out via chat as that is the only option. I was advised that it would be escalated for a refund as the agent could not tell what the charge was from. I waited XXXX weeks and then contacted the credit card company to ask them if there had been any credits and they advised me that there had not been any. I chatted again with Frontier and they left me waiting for an agent and had no response. I reached out via XXXX and never got a reply. Today on XX/XX/2023, I received a notice in the mail from XXXX XXXX that they concluded their investigation and have received enough information and I was responsible for the charges. They sent over XXXX pages showing the flight itinerary, however, there is no breakdown of anything as that was not the flight cost. There are no flights that cost that much for that destination. I can not afford to pay for something that I do not have and did not do. I need help resolving this as no one seems willing to help me. Frontier practices are unfair. They are nonresponsive and should not be allowed to overcharge for things or take money from people without permission.

Sub-issue: Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize

Complaint:
Despite multiple attempts, I have been unable to resolve the issue of fraudulent inquiries appearing on my consumer report. These inquiries are not associated with me in any way, and I bear no responsibility for them. Their presence has caused significant mental and financial distress. As a victim of identity theft, I have no alternative but to consider legal action if this matter is not appropriately addressed. These inaccurate and fraudulent items on my consumer report have hindered my ability to purchase my dream house and provide for my family 's needs. The impact on my financial well-being has been substantial. For your reference, I have attached a copy of the letter I previously sent to the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), which outlines this issue and seeks resolution.

Complaint:
I have just been notified by the credit reporting agencies of a negative report by you, ( Freedom Mortgage ) that has significantly impacted me financially.. 
After multiple inquires to customer service and the Tax and escrow dept. going back to XXXX of this year, Re : the increase in my mortgage payment due to a shortage in my escrow account I was continually told to keep paying my current mortgage until a resolve to the matter was completed. A conversation to justify my position was with the Tax dept. notifying me that they were not in receipt of a Veterans tax exemption by the city of XXXX, Ma which would have affected this account. I immediately sent via electronic and US mail an official transcript of this exemption to this person who after receiving this and verifying it with the named city accepted it's exemption, and was told it would be adjusted. I was than transferred back to customer service who once again told me to continue paying the current payment until I was notified. To this date I have NEVER been notified. 
In my last conversation with you, you explained that the discrepancy in funding would need to be satisfied by me and I complied with the intent that a escrow analysis would be completed by XX/XX/XXXX of this year, as told to me by you, and that I would be notified. Again to this date I have NOT been notified of the results of that analysis and resulting final determination of payment.

Complaint:
I am concerned about the validity and accuracy of your recent investigation of these accounts that are reporting on my credit report. Last month I requested an investigation because I felt the item was not being reported legally. Couple of days ago I received a letter stating that your investigation was complete. Please explain to me how you conducted your investigation! I contaced the company they said they never spoke nor heard from any credit reporting agencies. This lets me know that there was no proper investigation, it was electronic if anything at all, and they nothing was done on my behalf. Please remove this account, as you can see on my report i have no derogatory marks, i take my finances serious, and this alleged medical debt has ruined my credit, and put a delay on me closing on a home. Fix this issue please.

This is in regards to my Discover credit card. It has a limit of {$7400.00}. My current balance is {$7200.00}. My total credit card debt is over {$15000.00}.

I am currently cashing out my 401k to pay off some of these debts which is about {$18000.00}. Most of this debt came from the past 3-5 years. After our son was born, my fiance, did a 2 year XXXX XXXX at a local XXXX college. I paid for almost all expenses while she was in school. We didn't qualify for anything more than XXXX ( in Wisconsin ) as secondary insurance for our son. This kind of economic condition resulted in my current situation. I will take part responsibility as I could of been more careful with money. Back to Discover, I had submitted a secure message on XX/XX/XXXX through their website under the topic of " credit assistance request.

I requested that the email me or send a secure message through the site and that we could schedule a phone call as it would be easier for me. These automatic payments have been going on for over 3 years now for the minimum payment amount. To my surprise, they still haven't gotten back to me and it's a good thing I had enough money to cover the payment from my last paycheck.
