Complaint:
XXXX  XXXX XXXX became aware of several unauthorized charges. I spoke directly with a Discover employee and explained why charge with XXXX XXXX, of XXXX was not authorized. The employee told me he would not investigate the dispute after one letter from XXXX XXXX of XXXX which contained fraudulent documents which Discover was aware of last XXXX has not disputed nor followed its Cardholder Member Agreement. I filed a prior Complaint with your Agency and the Discover reply was not factual accurate and did not include detailed letters I submitted to Discover which did not lead to a Discover fraud and security investigation and should have. I discussed this with an XXXX at Discover as I had always made the required minimum payment, but recently wrote him to suggest my minimum payment be placed in escrow as the minimum payment pursuant to the Cardholder Agreement is 2 % of the account balance, which is inaccurate because of the {$3600.00} unauthorized purchase at XXXX XXXX of XXXX. Rather than the Discover XXXX reply to my suggestion that we put my minimum monthly payment in escrow, as every other payment had been made timely, Discover arbitrarily and capriciously reported my account as derogatory to the Credit Reporting Agencies. Also the Customer Agreement with Discover provides for a procedure for " Your Rights If You Are Dissatisfied With your Credit Card Purchase '' providing I may have the right not to pay the remaining amount due on the purchase. I discussed this with the XXXX at Discover, XXXX XXXX, as he had previously told me Discover had a third party agency to handle these matters when Discover Card Holders are not happy with their purchase. I told him I was not happy with the purchase of the XXXX XXXX XXXX made at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX, attempted to work it out with the merchant and was not successful. XXXX XXXX told me on XX/XX/XXXX Discover no longer has this policy, and stopped it in XXXX. I have only been a Discover XXXX XXXX since XXXX and my Customer XXXX clearly states the policy, so he was dishonest with me. Further, for no basis whatsoever Discover refused to reissue me a replacement card, after their were unauthorized purchases, which Discover investigated and agreed with me they were all, but the XXXX with XXXX XXXX not authorized. The XXXX XXXX XXXX, even wrote me a personal letter telling me his opinion I was a Cardholder in good standing with Discover. In fact many employees of the Discover Fraud and Security Staff directly told me their opinion my Cardholder status should not be restricted, and I even received a letter from Discover after this telling me I was going to be receiving a new card which I could activate and use as I had available monies on my Credit Limit with Discover. I received the Card but could never activate it.
