Complaint sub-issue: Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement

I had reported to Discover Card that I had received an emailed notification of a charge that was an error or fraudulent. This is for the next month 's service for a trash company we are no longer using, as of XX/XX/2018.

XXXX {$25.00} {$25.00} XX/XX/18 Total : {$25.00} I reported this by phone to Discover, who found the charge in their database and said they would deal with it. I knew that I also should report the error via mail when I received the statement. 

However, then I received the following email from Discover, indicating that they ignore the Fair Credit Billing Act, and require documentation from customers to show they don't owe a charge. I read the Act carefully, and it appears to me that the MERCHANT has to prove the charge legitimate. The customer doesn't have to prove the charge illegitimate with documentation. How could a customer possibly do that? When I called Discover, the woman I talked to said that this email, which requires documentation from the customer, is a generic email sent to all Discover 's customers. I found it shocking that Discover is apparently violating federal law on such a large scale. I never said I would provide any documentation to them. When I brought that up by phone, the woman said that documentation is required of everyone disputing a charge. Since there is no way to prove a negative, apparently Discover is requiring its customers pay fraudulent charges.
