Consumer complaint received 2023-10-24
Company: DISCOVER BANK
State: MI
Product: Credit card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement
Sub-issue: Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement

Complaint:
I moved to DC for work for the better part of a year and foolishly neglected to cancel a subscription to a wine club, which charged me {$34.00} per month for XXXX bottles of wine, that I usually picked up in person from the retail location. Since it is in a suburb in which I don't live, I usually didn't go every month anyway, and they were OK with that, generally -- me picking up XXXX months at a time instead of every month. 

The store has now closed, however, even though they continue to send me e-mails ( as recently as 12 days ago ). I have tried repeatedly -- over the past XXXX years, probably a couple dozen times- to get in touch with the company, ranging from calling multiple listed phone numbers, to e-mail, to going to the physical location, to asking my friends and my wife to call them. For awhile, they were picking up the phone and saying they were open when they weren't. This ultimately wouldn't have been the end of the world, but I lost my job in the spring and was denied unemployment, so I am trying to cut back on spending on stuff like this. Especially when I don't even get the product I pay for. 

Of course, I requested that Discover Card dispute ALL of the transactions from the past 24 months, which they did, since I haven't picked up wine from them since early 2021. But they eventually found in favor of the merchant, because they said the merchant never responded to the claim, and that I had " failed to provide additional documentation. '' I never signed a contract or anything for this service, so the additional documentation that I would be required to provide is an insane notion. I have no clue what kind of documentation they'd want me to provide. If the merchant never responded, Discover 's position is that it's my word against their lack of a word, which suggests a unilateral siding with a party that appears to have reneged on a contractual agreement to provide a thing to me that they have failed to provide. This amounts to {$830.00} plus interest that I will NEVER see again. 

I have been robbed, and this company continues to enrich itself and its shareholders at the expense of my broke XXXX that can not afford groceries. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX

Complaint:
I moved from said residence and terminated the service but XXXX continued to bill me. Once I was made aware of the bill they were not willing to work with me to resolve it prior to it reflecting on my credit report. It's not fair for me to be responsible if I gave notice and was under the impression that the account was closed. XXXX failed to disconnect the account.

Product: Checking or savings account
Sub-product: Checking account
Issue: Managing an account
Sub-issue: Problem using a debit or ATM card

Complaint:
XX/XX/XXXX I was assaulted and robbed : My cell phone, wallet, laptop and other items were stolen. Immediately after the attack and theft I was locked out of my accounts ( banking, email, XXXX, credit cards and more ). It took time for me to recover and start filing claims and freezing accounts. 

I filed a complaint with each company that was impacted. XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, Chase Saphire ( credit card ) Chase Bank ( atm/debit ), XXXX, cash app. All of my accounts were hacked and stolen from. 

I was restored and made whole by all except chase banking. 
From the instant I called Chase to file my claim I was met with rude and unwarranted assistance. 

The agent was annoyed that I called and was refused to help me document my claims. He rushed to push the claim without allowing context or taking adequate notes. 

The customer service agent conflated two separate occurrences into one. I had an incident occur in XXXX, XXXX that I referenced but that was only to provide clarity of the transactions and dates. 

What he did was compiled it into the assault and theft claims. This information was never brought to my attention. I was not contacted and there was no investigation outside of going off this one agents notes.

I contacted Chase many many times over and sent updated documents 3 different times costing me more money I did not have. I had no understanding and was provided no help. I was placed on hold and an agent thought they were muted, then I could hear them laughing and mocking me right before the call " randomly dropped ''. 

Recently - My claims were denied again without investigation and I was denied any further communication as though my money or the assault was unimportant. 



This incident happened between XXXX and XXXX in XXXX, MI. ( XXXX police claim number : # XXXX ) - contact number : XXXX. 


I filed a complaint with Chase and I'm hoping to get some support. I see many customers online have had similar issues like me. My hope is to be made whole and to stop the next person from being victimized by a powerful bank that can accept your money but not have the time of day to protect you. 

note : One agent said they sent a fraud alert notice to my phone and email but i did not have access to either of those tools because I was robbed and hacked. They would've known that had they contacted me or the police.

Company: Caliber Home Loans, Inc.
State: TX
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint:
I have had automatic payments for my mortgage with Caliber Home Loans set up for almost two years. After I lost my job due to COVID I spent two hours on hold with Caliber to call in and request a forbearance and cancel my automatic payments out of my checking account ( this was a full two weeks prior to when it normally comes out ). The call ended with me assuming I was having a 3  month forbearance and my automatic payment was canceled. 
Two weeks later the payment was still taken out. When I called Caliber and stayed on hold for another 2 hours, they apologized for the error and to reverse the transaction they claimed it would take 7-10 days to process a check. I told them this was unacceptable and I will incur overdraft fees. There response was I should call my bank and ask them to cancel the transaction. I expressed to them I do not want to call my bank ( XXXX  ) because I don't feel they should have to do extra work for something Caliber messed up on. I asked to speak with two levels of supervisors and they gave me the same answer. Unwilling to expedite a prompt return of my money and simply telling me to go through my bank. I expressed I understand mistakes happen and not upset at the intital mistake an associate of theirs made by not canceling it but that two levels of management would not do anything to rectify the situation.
