Product: Credit card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account information incorrect

Complaint:
To Whom It May Concern - I have a credit card account with Discover. I was on a three ( 3 ) month payment plan with them to cover a missed payment for XX/XX/. Their computer system self-generated a payment plan with 3 equal monthly payments. Auto-payment was set-up and first payment was made on XX/XX/XXXX. I cancelled the XX/XX/XXXX payment because I was making a full balance account payment on XX/XX/XXXX. Which was made ( 2 days after the billing cycle closed ). 

At no time during setting up that Payment Plan or Cancelling the XXXX auto-payment was I made aware by Discover that they would report my account 30 days late to the credit bureaus because of the remaining past due balance that was spread across those 3 payments. Additionally, I did not receive any email/text/phone calls alerting/notifying/warning me that my account was to be reported late ( AS THEY WOULD HAVE IF I WAS NOT ON A PAYMENT PLAN. Late payment, 15-day late emails notifying they will report ) or any mention made in my XXXX statement ( Attached ). 

The lack of correspondence, system transparency, and credit bureau reporting has resulting in a significant credit score drop that is now preventing me from obtaining a mortgage ( Please note I have never been late with Discover ). I, as a consumer, should have been notified that auto-payment cancellation ( moved by 7 days ) would result in Discover reporting my account 30 days late to the credit bureaus. Their system needs to be updated to reflect the above and protect future consumers.

Complaint:
This is my second complaint being filed with the CFPB. A fraudulent business bank account was opened using my information back in XXXX according to XXXX and the information on that account is now being merged with my personal account which was closed back in XXXX. The time frames of the account does not match so it cant possibly be correct. This is a violation of the FCRA and the Gramm Leach Bliley Act. I spoke with several people over the phone and filed claims, but they refuse to help me or send me any confirmation that I can take to XXXX to clear my name with this issue. ( They also can not find the claim even though they gave me a claim number which means they didnt even care to file the claim. ) The supervisors are all rude and incompetent, no one knows what to do or even who to transfer me to. I constantly get transferred XXXX or 4 times per phone call back and forth to the same departments and no one tries to help me. They all tell me to call XXXX, and when i do XXXX  refers me back to bank of america since they are furnishing the information. They refuse to give me any requested information and try to rush me off the phone when i try to call them, they also ignore all of my written letters. Bank of America has opened dozens of fraudulent accounts in the past and is currently being investigated by the CFPB for similar issues as this.
