Consumer complaint received 2015-08-18
Company: DISCOVER BANK
State: MA
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Credit card
Issue: Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt was paid

Complaint:
I was offered a credit card over the phone about 10 years ago by Discover Card for about {$4000.00}. I was later referred to a debt collector who took me to court as I fell behind my payments whereby a payment arrangement of {$100.00} was agreed upon. 

I have asked the debt collector to consider writing off the debt as I have payed them towards or above {$10000.00} over the years, well in excess of the original {$400.00} credit card limit that they extended to me. 
Unfortunately, the debt collector have always declined this arrangement ; they actually indicate that my debt has increased from about {$400.00} to about {$16000.00} because of interest rates which to me seem utterly artificial or unfair.

Complaint:
Discover has been charging me 29.99 % interest for the past five years, because I made a late payment in XX/XX/XXXX.

I ca n't imagine that charging me this rate over this period of time is legitimate.

State: AZ
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional fixed mortgage
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint:
I recently received a notice from Chase Mortgage Company that my escrow account was low and my mortgage payment would be increased to cover the shortfall. When I inspected the escrow account I noticed I was being charged over $ XXXX/year for a " misc '' insurance coverage. Knowing that I made no such insurance commitment, I called Chase to find out and they informed me that the charge was for homeowners insurance with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. Well, I already have such coverage with XXXX 's and called my agent to find out why I pay double for the same service. He was able to tell me that the account number that Chase applied actually belongs to my neighbor. In essence, I have been paying my neighbor 's homeowner 's insurance since XXXX 2015! 
I am concerned that Chase either purposefully tried to sneak money from me using the trusted escrow account or are totally inept at applying correct account numbers. Either way, I am furious, upset, and scared. What if I would never had checked my account? What other sneaky schemes are they using to steal more money from me? How can I ever trust them in the future? My confidence is way low. 
Chase Mortgage Co. bought my mortgage from the company who bought it from my original loan company. Too many exchanges like this is not a good practice and the homeowner has no voice in the matter. I totally dislike Chase.

Company: DISCOVER BANK
State: GA
Product: Student loan
Sub-product: Non-federal student loan
Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Trouble with how payments are handled

Complaint:
I contacted Discover Student Loans after a loan was reset and shown as requiring a payment I already made. I spoke with supervisor XXXX in XXXX XXXX XXXX, UT who advised me I could make the remaining payment and they could place an administrative forbearance on the loan but they could only do this after I had made a payment. 

To have a system reflect a loan as unsatisfied and require XXXX payments in one month on this loan is a direct violation of my loan agreement and I have received no follow up on if me paying a monthly payment twice would move my due date for that loan forward a month, or how Discover intends to remedy their system error. 

Executive office team member, XXXX XXXX was also aware of this and offered the same remedy of placing an administrative forbearance once the remaining loans had been paid. Discover showed a minimum payment due twice for the same loan, at this point they are aware the loan was paid twice-yet the due date for that loan was not moved further back nor have they made an attempts to rectify this issue. 

Finally I was advised when the loan was reset all the information would move over to the new loan number. The new loan does not show any of the interest paid to date on the loan they reset or any of the prior loan history.
