Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: DISCOVER BANK (TX)

Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), I am writing to express my serious concerns about the inadequate and inconsistent responses from Discovery, a credit card company, and XXXX, a credit reporting company, in addressing fraudulent charges on my account. 

Discovery, the credit card company, not only failed to conduct a proper investigation, but their customer service representatives exhibited a concerning lack of empathy. Their dismissive responses, including phrases such as " do what you feel is right for you, '' left me bewildered and frustrated, especially when attempting to report unauthorized transactions. 

Adding to these troubles, Discovery continued to issue new cards without my explicit consent, despite a fraud alert in place. Despite my efforts to assist their investigation by providing a police report, including the case number, they only called the police twice, received no answer, and subsequently closed the case. 

Furthermore, when I reported identity theft to Discovery, they neglected to take appropriate measures to safeguard my personal information. Despite sharing critical details such as my social security number, birth certificate, and other sensitive data that had been compromised, they failed to enact protective measures. 

Compounding these issues, I explicitly requested that Discovery refrain from mailing sensitive information, citing security concerns. However, my request was disregarded, and documents continued to be sent without considering the potential risks. 

Additionally, I was erroneously informed not to make credit card payments during the investigation, with the assurance that all charges would be rectified. Regrettably, this commitment was never fulfilled, and my credit remains impacted. 

The communication has been an unproductive loop, with Discovery consistently asserting, " we're right, you're wrong. '' This dismissive attitude and lack of cooperation have heightened the stress and uncertainty surrounding the fraudulent activity on my account. 

I urgently implore the CFPB to thoroughly investigate both Discovery and XXXXXXXX XXXX handling of this matter and ensure corrective action is taken to rectify their negligent behavior and inconsistent customer service practices. Your intervention is crucial to bringing resolution to this distressing situation. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

My accounts was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX XXXXXXXX and all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment.

This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family!

I demand the late payment reported to be removed/updated.

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law!

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date. 

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule XXXX and It was never provided. 

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer!

I wish to express my deep disappointment regarding the reporting provided by your organization, as documented in the enclosed document. It is regrettable to note that the aforementioned reporting falls significantly short of being comprehensive and fails to meet the standards I deem essential. As mandated by the law, it is crucial for both your esteemed entity and the data furnishers involved to undertake the certification of all facets pertaining to the obligatory Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and Metro 2 compliance. This certification must be executed with utmost integrity, accuracy, thoroughness, and timeliness, so as to avoid any inadvertent violation or infringement upon my consumer and civil rights

In 2021 I was pondering a home purchase and was considering XXXX XXXX as my mortgage holder, so I opened an account with them. Ultimately, I decided I did not want to buy a home anywhere and be committed to one place. However, even when I closed my XXXX account, one thing never stopped -- EVERY MONTH I received something I NEVER SIGNED UP FOR : " Mission : Credit Confidence by XXXX XXXX '' This spam mail, sucking space and time, is my Transunion credit report, which is utterly USELESS to me since I have no log in for XXXX anyway. I was assured when I closed my account and they sent me a cashier 's check, that all my emails would stop too. As per usual with spammy folks, XXXX feels the need to keep telling me that my credit report can be seen if I figure out how to log into my NON EXISTENT ACCOUNT. 

I am fed up. Not sure how these CFPB complaints get shown but anyone looking closely will see this is my third in a row today dealing with spamming banks or cards that I have tried for YEARS to stop.I have resolved to not wait so long anymore. I am missing important messages, cluttering my inbox, and taking too much time to deal with this baloney. Time 's up.

No email should be allowed without opt-in consent. Period. NEVER EMAIL ME AGAIN, XXXX XXXX.

This is one of my multiple attempts to notify credit bureaus that I am a victim of identity theft and that I want to query certain records in my documents that resulted from the crime. The documents I'm looking at have nothing to do with any transactions involving goods, services, or money that I've made or approved. Assuming no one cares, remove any material in my credit report that was obtained through alleged fraud or extortion.
