I removed names and addresses and phone numbers from their response. 

I submitted a complaint through the cfpb trying to seek resolution to an on going issue with discover card. The response I recieved provided no resolution and only a promise to take the issue out of the perview of the cfpb. This is not acceptable, # 1 that the CFPB considers this an actual response, # 2 that the cfpb would allow them to close the complaint without addressing my concerns.

Discover Card, rather than addressing my complaint, said we have no further information to provide at this time, this was in reference to the original complaint, where they said it would take up to 90 days to actually respond, which is beyond the fcras 30 day limit, and the cfpb 60 day limit. The cfpb said ... ok no problem, that's acceptable and closed that complaint as well. 

The complaint should not be closed until resolution is provided. How else can the cfpb determine if the complaint was addressed, and addressed with in a timely manner. 

Discover card, closing the complaint before resolution is unacceptable. Why even bother with all the extra lingo, if that lingo contains no resolution ... just type a random letter or number on the keyboard, and close the complaint. It's the equivalent of what you did, and it is not acceptable. 

Please resolve this issue within the 60 days allotted by the cfpb, and do not close the complaint until resolution is provided through the cfpb. 

Bellow is the last response with in you can find the complaint number, as well as the original complaint number which started the time clock. Do not reset the time clock as they have not actually addressed my concerns at all.

YOUR COMPLAINT Companies response says they will take longer than 30 days to resolve the dispute. Fcra allows them 30days. The information they provided violates the fcra because it lies about the time frame a company has to resolve a credit dispute. A creditor can not provide misleading information to a consumer. Their response attached. FTC theft report number is. Please remove from credit bureaus.
