Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am reaching out to you once again to express my concerns and dissatisfaction with the manner in which Discover Bank has handled my recent claim for fraudulent charges on my credit card account ending in XXXX. 

On XX/XX/2023, my phone was stolen, leading to multiple unauthorized transactions across my credit card accounts with several banks, including Discover Bank. The fraudulent transactions resulted in a total of {$450.00} unauthorized charges on my Discover account. This crime has been reported to the XXXX Police Department as part of a financial fraud investigation ( Case No : XXXX ), with the event being detailed in the attached police report authored by XXXX XXXX ( # XXXX ). 

Despite this, Discover Bank denied my claim, stating that the transactions were verified via my email and phone - both of which were in the hands of the thieves at the time. Furthermore, they insinuated that I should have reported the theft and fraudulent activity earlier, ignoring the fact that my ability to do so was compromised due to the loss of my phone. 

In stark contrast to Discover 's conclusion, other leading financial institutions such as XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, and XXXX XXXX, who also had my cards in the mobile Apple Pay wallet at the time of the theft, have conducted their investigations and unequivocally confirmed that the transactions in question were indeed fraudulent. This leads me to question the rigor and integrity of Discover 's investigation. Why does their conclusion deviate so markedly from those of these other major banks? 

Under the provisions of the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ), I am safeguarded from bearing liability for unauthorized charges on my credit card account beyond {$50.00}. Many credit card issuers, including Discover Bank, ostensibly operate under a zero-liability policy for fraudulent charges. It appears, however, that Discover Bank has chosen to ignore these protections in my case. 

I strongly request the CFPB to step in and conduct an impartial review of my case. Discover Bank 's refusal to acknowledge the evidence and honor their own zero-liability policy amounts to a violation of my rights as a consumer. Attached to this letter, you will find the police report, evidence of fraudulent transactions, and other related documents for your perusal. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I am hopeful that your intervention will bring about a just resolution to this matter. 

Yours sincerely, XXXX XXXX
