Complaint sub-issue: Company closed your account

In XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, the XXXX woman XXXX : XXXX XXXX has sent multiple negotiable instruments monthly to Discover Card Services to settle the full balance and to reopen my credit card account of the created debt and have never received a reply, which was required, neither received any of the instruments back which means that the account is satisfied in full per UCC 3-603. 

In XX/XX/2022 I also sent an affidavit to Discover in which it was not rebutted point-by-point as they never responded. 

With my XX/XX/2022 remittance coupon, I've sent a notice to Discover informing them that according to USC 1693o-1 Remittance transfer, the purpose of this law is to accept my remittance slip as payment for this XXXX bill statment. According to 12 CFR 1026a Billing Error Resolution, by law, creditors ( Discover ) can not pursue adverse action against me ( by shutting off and or closing the credit card account ) 15 US Code 1666 correction billing errors. I also informed them that failure to comply by not accepting my payment will result in further legal action. 

In additional, Discover has also charged me an interest fee of {$130.00} and decreased my credit card limit as the account was orginally opened with a beginning balance of {$15000.00}. 

Discover has rejected my remittance coupons for XXXX, XXXX and XXXX which is fraud and discrimination. Discover has also failed to uphold their relationship as the trustee to the trust and have not acted in the best interest of the beneficiary ( me ) which is considered fraud and discrimination. Discover also refused to accept my Negotiable Instruments as payment but never returned any of the three negotiable instruments sent via certified mail, therefore, that is acceptance for value per UCC 3-603. The payments have been made in full three times and they have refused to place a {$0.00} balance on the ledger paid by the XXXX and reopen my account as active. 

Lastly, since they fall under the UCC laws and accept Federal Reserve Notes, Checks and Money Orders, they also are supposed to accept my Remittance Coupon as an instrument of payment too according to UCC 3-603. Discover has committed fraud and discrimination against me multiple times and has also closed my credit card account and reported false information on my credit report to all credit bureaus.
Complaint sub-issue: Information belongs to someone else

I have never applied for credit with XXXX. Someone at the XXXX XXXX store stole my identity and processed a application for credit without my consent. I have never done business with XXXX XXXX nor did I apply for credit on XXXX. In accordance with the law XXXX has a legal obligation to remove this once they were notified that this transaction was fraud. You have copy of the police report verifying that my identity was stolen. Moving forward I am giving XXXX 7 days to remove all inquiries from my credit report or I will file a lawsuit against XXXX. Once you were notified that my credit was being used without my permission you had a legal obligation to remove it. Remove it now or I will see you in court.Your company is violation FCRA and I will not stop until this is handled correctly.
Complaint sub-issue: Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize

I have reported these inquiries as unauthorized and fraudulent and ask the bureaus to remove them they will not respond! Only inquiries I authorized are active good standing accounts on my credit report any inquiries not associated with a active account was not authorized by me
Complaint sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

I had disputed several accounts posted by PlusFour , Inc collection agency in my XXXX  files that belong to my Ex-wife. 
Reporting agencies are supposed to report accurate information but XXXX continue to report accounts thatre not mine. 
PlusFour , Inc is aware that these accounts are not mine, but they continue to report these accounts to the credit bureaus. 
I had disputed these accounts with both XXXX  and PlusFour , Inc. 
The facts are, first I never been at XXXX XXXX XXXX for anything. Second my Ex-wife and my children are cover by my health insurance company that is why they have my name and social security for purposes of filing insurance claims but, in no way, Im obligated to pay for any contract my ex-wife gets into it. 
XXXX XXXX XXXX had summitted claims with the wrong social security number and that is why those accounts were never settled on time, they were settled at a later day and that was an error made by XXXX XXXX XXXX when they used my ex-wife social security number to summit the claims. 
So, getting back to PlusFour , Inc I was never notified of any collections by PlusFour , Inc or their client XXXX XXXX XXXX, I discovered these collections after requesting my credit report. 
Immediately after discovering that PlusFour , Inc had posted these negatives accounts on my credit report I disputed these accounts with XXXX and I requested debt validations directly thru PlusFour , Inc. 
PlusFour , Inc had never responded to any of my request even after I informed them that these are my accounts and they had not produced any documents showing that makes me responsible for these collections. 
I believe that XXXX favor they paid clients and really dont want to upset by requesting full verification from PlusFour , Inc. 
Its not fair that thousands of innocent consumers life is damaged by the behavior that XXXX had shown over the dispute process and collection agencies like PlusFour , Inc that reports inaccurate information without any consequences due to the loop holes in the laws.

Complaint sub-issue: Unable to receive car title or other problem after the loan is paid off

On XX/XX/XXXX my car was in an accident. Subsequently, my insurance company totaled the car and paid off the loan company Flagship Credit Acceptance in the amount of $ XXXX I contacted the loan company in XX/XX/XXXX to determine if I had a balance of any kind. I was told no and my title would be in the mail. The representative stated that I was paid up until XX/XX/XXXX and I had no balance. He also stated that I should make my GAP insurance company aware of my payments and I should receive XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX 's payment back. Early XX/XX/XXXX, I receive my title in the mail. Come late XX/XX/XXXX, I receive an invoice from Flagship stating I owe {$0.00} ( I have the statement ). Then in XX/XX/XXXX, I get another invoice stating that I owe $ XXXX. I contacted Flagship immediately but I was unable to gain access to a customer service agent and my call was dumped. I tried several more times with no success. On XX/XX/XXXX when I arrived home in the mail was another invoice from Flagship stating I now owed them $ XXXX. Once again I phoned them and my call was dumped. If you press 4 for a customer service agent it refers you to their website. So I used my daughter 's phone to make the call and I was able to get an agent on the phone immediately. Before I gave them my social security number or account number I explained to XXXX in the PA office I would need the help of a manager immediately. She placed me on hold briefly. Agent XXXX took over the call. I explained to her what was going on and that I needed answers. She began to tell me that there must be an issue with the phone systems and the IT department should be notified. She begins to put together a story in the company 's favor. But, she kept changing the information. First, she said, I was credited for 1 payment on XX/XX/XXXX and another on the XX/XX/XXXX. Then she said I was credited for 2 payments on the XX/XX/XXXX but 10 minutes later in the conversation, she said my payment was returned to the bank on XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. But I pulled up my bank statements and it indicates Flagship took the money. Then she said that the statement dated XX/XX/XXXX, I had was not possible because it says I owed {$0.00} when I have it in my possession. She also claims there was no record of my phone call in XX/XX/XXXX. She said she would request an audit of my account and get back to me. The is tasked with providing accurate information down to the penny and they are failing and should be investigated.
