Complaint sub-issue: Confusing or misleading advertising about the credit card

Issues with Discover Price Protection Claim. 

I purchased a TV on XX/XX/XXXX for {$1300.00} using Discover Credit card with an online retailer. 
I noticed the same item was on sale on XX/XX/XXXX for {$1100.00} through a different online retailer. Rather than returning and re-buying, I decided to use the Price Protection benefit  offered by Discover Credit card for the difference in the prices which is {$250.00}. 
For this claim I submitted the following documents as requested by the Discover Benefits XXXX following all directions correctly. 
1. The Sale receipt showing the price I paid ( {$1300.00} ). 
2. Credit Card Statement from Credit Card showing that I used their card for purchase.

3. Lower-Price Ad ( Screen shot or scanned copy of advertisement showing the lower price ) - I submitted the screen shot showing the date that the item sale price.

I have 90 days to submit the claim. I submitted within the first month all the above. Now the Discover Benefits center is not processing my claim telling that items are missing. 
They sent an email saying this, " We were unable to verify the advertised sale price. Please submit verification of the sale price. The verification may be a written statement from the store manager on store letterhead, email, or chat session including item number, description, date, lower price and contact number '' If they required such things to process their Price Protection claim they should have mentioned these list in the first place. In terms and conditions they have not mentioned the requirement of any of these.

Now dating back I am not able to get the online vendor to verify the price for me. There is no use for me to resubmit the Price Protection with the same or different vendor as the prices have gone back up to {$1300.00}.

Although this Price protection feature is going to be discontinued from XX/XX/XXXX, I will be very reluctant to use any of the benefits that a credit card claims. 

Talking to the Discover Benefits center customer service or manager did not help as they keep repeating the same thing that they could not verify the price that I claim as they do not trust the screen shot from my computer. In that case they should not have the ask for screen shot to process the claim if you do not trust it. I am extremely unhappy about the way Discover is handling price protection claims.

Dear Legal Department, This credit dispute is being submitted as a new evidence dispute. The accounts that are being disputed, does not belong to me. Below is my sworn statement concerning these credit issues.

It is my sworn statement that I declare under penalty of perjury ( " under the laws of the United States " if executed outside of the United States '' ) that the foregoing is true and correct to the best of my knowledge. Further, I certify that I am qualified and authorized to file this dispute. I also understand that knowing and a willful misstatement or omissions of material facts constitutes a federal criminal violation punishable under 18 U.S.C. 1001. Additionally, these misstatements are punishable l1S perjury under 18U.S.C. 1621. 

The tradelines listed below are items currently within my credit file, and none of these are related to any transaction that was made by me. It is my official statement that someone and/or several people have opened these accounts and made transactions on these accounts without my knowledge or authorization, my personal information has been used to obtain goods, services, or money : and the person ( s ) responsible for creating these accounts. 

I have filed a report with the Federal Trade Commission, which I have enclosed within this dispute package. I have reached out to all of these creditors and have made them aware that these accounts were fraudulently opened, and they have known this for several months, but have yet to remove these accounts from my credit reports. Some of the creditors have been cooperative and have removed the accounts, but others have refused to remove the fraudulent accounts. Therefore, I have come to you, the credit reporting agencies to resolve these issues. The law says that you must block these accounts while being investigated, and I expect that you will do so. 

I made an attempt to file a police report, but I was informed by my county that it did not constitute as an emergency and that they would not file the report because I didn't have any information on the person who used my information, nor did I know how my information was obtained by this person. 

Likewise, these COLLECTION ACCOUNTS are also not mine. None of these belong to me. This means that I was not the person, which had an account with the original creditor, which has sold these accounts to these collection agencies that are now reporting the debts.

I currently bank with us bank and was a victim of fraud where someone cashed checks out of our business account. I filed a claim with the bank and went through a lengthy paperwork process and got the funds refunded back to me. Then few months after the same thing happened and I went through the same process of filling a. Claim and police report. After 2 months I get a letter stating my claim was denied. I contacted the bank immediately and was told that in the claims paperwork was a form called the indemnity Agreement which relieved that bank for any future fraud. At no point was I explained what I was being asked to sign nor was I ever told to close my account down. I have been left high and dry by my own bank and has put my business in a financial bind due to the non reimbursement of the fraudulent charges.

After having difficulty getting a cosigner release form from Firstmark, I filed complaint # XXXX as they would not respond to me.

Complaint sub-issue: Other problem getting your report or credit score

Equifax is nearly impossible to deal with. Their staff are incompetent, I'd be better off asking the wall for help. For the past 5 months I have been dealing with an issue with Equifax. All I want to do is remove an inquiry that does not belong to me ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX , XXXX ). I can't do this because there's a magnitude of things that happen when I try. The Equifax dispute page doesn't work. Whenever I file a dispute or go to view the status of a dispute, I get an error saying " Sorry for the inconvenience, currently service is unavailable. Please try again later. '' When that error doesn't occur, I get listed with questions that are completely irrelevant to me which causes Equifax to completely ban me from submitting/viewing disputes. These things only happen when the actual dispute page loads ( which is rare, multiple computers and connections ). And even when I did successfully dispute the fake inquiry, for 30 days Equifax spammed my email multiple times a day saying they were processing my request. The email listed a long number that has absolutely no use. Thanks for that, Equifax.

Equifax is reporting the account with XXXX inaccurately on my credit report. Upon reviewing my credit report, I did not recognize this account. I initially sent a request for Equifax to validate the account, and send my proof such as a copy of a signed agreement or any other documentation to validate the information being reported was indeed mine or correct. After four different attempts, they have failed to provide me proof of this account. I have disputed this information four times, and have given them warning that if it could not be validated, to remove it from my report, or else I would file a formal complaint. In addition, the information Equifax is reporting does not match the information being reported by the other credit agencies. They still have not done anything about this.
