Complaint sub-issue: Company closed your account

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, I Called for assistance on setting account up online to view and pay bill ( this was a replacement card ). First call went great, I thought I could finish registration on my own, ended call. Could not complete online registration and I called back in, I got a rep in the XXXX and I politely asked to be transferred to a rep in the U.S. and he replied " oh, so you do n't want to talk to a XXXX? '' I did n't say anything and hung up. I called back in, very frustrated and got an American rep, I thought she said her name was XXXX, but I was n't sure so when she asked for my name, I asked for hers again ... she acted like I had given her my name and said one moment, while I open your account. I do n't believe that I ever authenticated the account. I said something else to her and she did n't even hear what I said, so really frustrated I hung up again. At this point, the law of averages HAD to be on my side, right? I got XXXX this time, nice guy, but I asked for a supervisor ... maybe his name was XXXX? This guy spoke over me, did n't have my account pulled up and advised me, that he would listen to the 2 calls based on my statement, and call me back. He called me back within 20 minutes and said that he had listened to the calls and I did say that I was thinking about cancelling the account. He said that the mean XXXX rep transferred the call to an American rep and I cancelled the account ... .but wait! I hung up on the overseas rep, he never transferred me. I mentioned closing the account to get transferred to an American rep, because their retention dept is in the US. The supervisor obviously never listened to the calls, even though he said he did. He said that I told XXXX that I wanted to cancel the account and even though I hung up right at that point, they cancelled it. Keep in mind, this was the rep who never authenticate me account. I hung up on this lying supervisor and called back in, this time I got XXXX, a real supervisor. She was kind, thoughtful and offered to reactivate the card ... I think that she told me the XXXX rep closed my account and he most certainly never authenticated my account. XXXX advised that this issue would be referred to corporate for investigation and the she would call me back. I did n't let her reactivate my card, because it would run a credit check and hit my credit report and we are buying a new house, the rep that cancelled my 2nd oldest credit card, hurt my credit by doing so .... all I wanted was to view and pay my bill online and speak to a US based rep ... my card had been compromised by someone in the XXXX ... that 's why I wo n't give them my info.
Complaint sub-issue: Can't close your account

Have never received physical credit card, so I can not set up automatic payments or close the account. Customer service is scripted. There is no method for escalating calls. 

Approved for card in store in late XX/XX/2018. 

On XX/XX/2018 called about email advising me to set up my account. Didn't have card yet. Couldn't set up account. Customer service said card would be there within 7 days.

~XX/XX/2018 called back bc hand't received card. Customer service couldn't validate my ID with phone number. Said they would send " bank letter '' that I could use to validate ID. 

Called back several more times over the last month to repeat the above process. No bank letter. No card. Still can not access account.

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

Discover card was clearly provided the tracking number in dispute case number : XXXX, in regards to a used black belt that the merchant sent me for purchase price dispute of {$19.00}. XXXX tracking number XXXX was clearly returned to the merchant on XX/XX/18, at XXXX XXXX, signed by XXXX, delivered in XXXX, IA, the home office location of the retailer. As of today, retailer neglected to process the credit. Additionally, Discover card could have taken 30 seconds to type in the above tracking information to show that the item was returned to the retailer. Rather, Discover card relied on the original proof of delivery provided by the retailer which is irrelevant.
Complaint sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

There are still inaccurate items found in my reports which I believe has been taken care of due to the written appeals I sent. The last letter sent to XXXX, Equifax and XXXX was XX/XX/XXXX, but no response was ever received from them to date. Thus, their action has violated the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 USC Sections 1681i, which states that continued reports of the unverified items without any proof provided, within the time allowed by law, is not authorized.

( Please see page attached from my credit report. ) I was in rehabilitation for medical reasons and was given permission to turn the vehicle in per extenuating medical circumstances with no penalties.

This is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act to not report accurate information on a credit report. I have contacted XXXX XXXX XXXX as well as the bureaus to remove this however, I have not been successful.
Complaint sub-issue: Account terms

Refused to pay for modem router, that they auto billed me {$150.00}. told them to send shipping label, then adjust bill from there, I would pay them once everything was straightend out, I would purchase my own, they never sent shipping label, and would n't adjust bill, cause I still had their equipment, I still have it sitting here, all boxed up and ready to give back Do n't hardly seem fair that I 'm being punished for refusing to purchase what they were trying to force me to buy. 
I 'm the customer, and I refused that part of their services, I have had many discussions with multiple people, and not one person can seem to figure out how to send a shipping label, and adjust my bill. 
I absolutely refuse to pay {$150.00} for their equipment, especially after a good 2 years of arguments, get on the ball people!!!!!

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. 

COLLECTION AGENCY : XXXX XXXX  XXXX  XXXX  ACCOUNT NUMBER : XXXX
Complaint sub-issue: Debt is not yours

On XX/XX/XXXX I called for an ambulance from City  of XXXX - XXXX ( XXXX ). The XXXX-XXXX  sent me an invoice # XXXX in the mail. I sent an email on XX/XX/XXXX advising them to file claim with my insurance company XXXX XXXX XXXX. But they failed to file within 45 days for paper claim ( non-electronic claims ). They ( XXXX ) UNJUSTLY and UNFAIRLY forwarded their invoice for COLLECTION to National Recovery Agency ( NRA  ). I sent a letter on XX/XX/XXXX to NRA  letting them to know that XXXX  was supposed to file the claim with my insurance company but they failed. The NRA  put this collection item on my Credit file without listening to me, reviewing the case or offering any amount for settlement BECAUSE I AM AN XXXX and XXXX! 
I would greatly appreciate your involvement in this case to ask NRA  to remove the collection item IMMEDIATELY and apologize me for this UNJST and UNFAIR practice. 
Thanking you in anticipation.
Complaint sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

XXXX XXXX XXXX Account XXXX ******* XXXX has been paid and closed on my report, this is still showing that it is 30, 60 and 90 days late with a balance. How can this be? They should be reporting the account paid. This account should not be showing a late date since they have already been paid for. It seems impossible to accrue late on an account that has already been paid. This inaccurate information is preventing me from getting the credit I deserve and it needs to be fix immediately!

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

Good morning, I am currently having issues getting reports through all 3 credit bureaus. I feel like I have been breached through Equifax back in 2017. All 3 bureaus have different scores from each other. When I am able to look at old reports there is Inquiries that I haven't made. Also, in XX/XX/XXXX I had to file a fraud to my bank ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) and XXXX  because someone set up an account in my name through money lion with a credit line and money loan and spent {$500.00} on gift cards through credit line and {$500.00} with a personal loan that went to a XXXX XXXX account. I did get reimbursed, but I feel like that's what's causing inaccuracy and problems now. Since im more involved in my credit report due to Medically retiring out the Army I have been running into problems like report info not being correct to Credit apps saying my info doesn't match the database. I also typed in my social to the Equifax settlement page and it does say I have been affected. I wish to see reports and info from XXXX and now too because I did get an alert stating my social, email addresses and passwords were leaked to the dark web. Sorry for all this info but I am pretty stressed trying to fix all these problems.
