Company: DISCOVER BANK
State: DE
Product: Checking or savings account
Sub-product: Savings account
Issue: Opening an account
Sub-issue: Didn't receive terms that were advertised

Complaint:
Opened a savings account with Discover XXXX Bank on XX/XX/2023. Promo offer of 200 deposited into my account if funded the Discover XXXX account with XXXX or more. Created the online account and tried to transfer XXXX from my checking account ( XXXX & XXXX ) to Discover savings account. Discover system locked me out online and I have spent considerable time of the phone with them to find out that they CAN NOT link with XXXX & XXXX. XXXX & XXXX is my only other bank account and I have never had issues with linking other financial services ( Discover credit card, mortgage, IRS, etc. ). 

I feel like I have been tricked into opening an account at Discover Savings without being told in advance that they only allow transfers with certain financial institutions and unfortunately XXXX & XXXX is not one of them. 

Please require Discover Bank to DISCLOSE this information prior to having a consumer go through the frightening experience of trying to transfer XXXX and have no idea why in the middle of the transfer the user becomes " locked out '' of their account. It was very stressful as I didn't know what was happening with a considerable amount of money. Then I had to spend over an hour on the phone with various people only to learn that this could have been avoided if Discover had disclosed this PRIOR to me opening an account. 

Thank you very much for your consideration of this request.

Complaint:
A company called XXXX XXXX XXXX has been added to my credit report for XXXX, Equifax, and for XXXX. I just received the notification. This is fraudulent information. This company has not sent any notices at all. Probably because they know that it isn't my debt and is someone elses. These credit bureaus are required to verify and validate any and all information before it is reported to my credit report and they have not done so. I have extended fraud alerts on here and they have allowed fraudulent information to be reported to my credit report. There is no reason why fraudulent information should be showing up on any of my credit reports.
