Company: DISCOVER BANK (VA)

The Discover card offers an extended warranty that appears in the list of benefits ; their website states " No need to worry about expired warranties. We will extend the terms of an existing eligible warranty for up to XXXX additional year on warranties of 36 months or less '' and further states this is " Available to all Cardmembers ... This exclusive benefit is available to you as a valued Cardmember. We 've got you covered when you use your Discover card. '' The reason for my complaint is if you decide to utilize this benefit and file a claim, the claims process ( which is administered by a third-party ) requires an official repair estimate to be submitted and this may have a cost -- thus, in order to use the Extended Product Warranty benefit, a consumer may have to pay an un-reimbursable expense that is not covered by Discover or their assigned third-party claims processor. 

In my particular case, I have a XXXX TV that failed after XXXX 's original one-year warranty. After filing my claim and providing all other requested documentation, I have found that there are no " free estimates '' available from authorized repair facilities. All repair providers require an upfront fee of {$99.00} to {$140.00} for an in-home estimate, the cost of which may or may not be applied towards the actual parts and labor repair. Discover will not cover this cost, and thus, this is not a free benefit. Contrast this to any standard manufacturer 's warranty that would not require any cost to initiate and finalize a repair or replacement and you can see that Discover needs to address this issue as this benefit is not actually extending the original warranty and this is deceptive. 

My request is that Discover amend the " Extended Product Warranty '' Terms & Conditions advising consumers " that any cost for an estimate is not included in this benefit '' or that they would reimburse the cost of any estimates paid for by a consumer as part of the claims payout process. 

I have contacted Discover already about this issue, but do not have confidence the company will take my complaint seriously so this is why I have elected to bring this complaint to the CFPB.

" I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding unauthorized accounts that persist on my credit report despite my repeated efforts to have them removed. These accounts are causing significant damage to my financial reputation and overall well-being. It is evident that the inclusion of these fraudulent items violates 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes, as the credit bureaus have no legitimate reason to report them without my explicit consent. Please refer to the attached file detailing these items I am disputing.

The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence, which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. ''

My accounts was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX XXXXXXXX and all payments were placed on XXXX. 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 1002 and It was never provided. 

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