My XXXX who's studying XXXX XXXX, helped me out by finding a way to check if my XXXX emails were involved in this breach. To my surprise, it turns out that 2 out of 3 of my emails contain a lot of my sensitive and personal information. I want to emphasize that I'm not the one behind these accounts. It would mean a lot to me if you could assist in removing the following from my credit report.

Product: Credit card — 
Issue: Billing disputes — 
Company: DISCOVER BANK (VA)

I have a Discover It credit card. I made a payment on XXXX XXXX, 2016. Payments in the past had posted the following day. However, this time the payment was held for more than ten days. No reason was given for funds being held. I called and spoke to a representative who informed me that she did not know the reasons but other departments had access to this information. 
My concern is the abuse of power. My account has not shown any signs of " fraud '' or related situations that merits " stringent screenings ''. Besides, this is nothing new, XX/XX/XXXX a rental car refund was held up for more than fifteen days. 
I looked over my credit card terms and conditions and I did not find any information in regards to " delaying credit for payments and/or refunds ''. 
To my understanding this is the difference between a debit card and a credit card. In addition, a secure fund has been established in my name to serve as a collateral. I believe this agency is using negative information, obtained from other sources, to make decisions that affect my financial status. If they choose to do so, I need to be informed in order for the power to be balanced. I am able to make informed decisions about the " conditions '' planned for my account. Lastly, the credit report is not showing any credit available, which in turn shows that my account is currently overdrawn by {$17.00}, which is incorrect. 
I certainly feel overpowered and ostracized by this situations and I hope that someone can take a deeper look at what these financial companies are doing with consumers financial wellbeing.

This company did not send me any documents I requested that substantiated a summary of all account activities, including all payments made, copies of charge slips, invoices or any other documents proving my indebtedness, nor did they send me copies of all documents sent to me regarding this account, copies of any papers that show I agreed to pay what they say I owe them, as well as prove the statute of limitations has not expired on this account. See attached documentation. The documents sent to me from this company DO NOT VALIDATE THIS DEBT AS BELONGING TO ME. Additionally, this company claims I said this was a fraudulent account ; however, you can see in attached documents that I only requested that they indeed prove beyond a reasonable doubt that this account indeed was mine. Since this third party collection company is unable to validate the debt, this item must be deleted from my report immediately.
