Product: Debt collection — Credit card debt
Issue: Took or threatened to take negative or legal action — Threatened to sue you for very old debt
Company: DISCOVER BANK (NC)

We opened an account with the company in  XXXX . After a few years of using the credit card we destroyed the card and no longer used it. The amount charged on this card was approximately {$6500.00}. We paid on this card for almost thirty years and as of today, they are still saying we owe them money. I do not see how this could be possible. I later received a notice from them about this ( sometime in  XXXX  ) and agreed to pay  XXXX  per month ( with all to be applied to principal ), which we did. In  XXXX , I received my last statement from them and assumed the debt had been paid in full. Much to my surprise in  XXXX , they had turned the account over to an attorney for collection. Each month they would add on a fee for about {$45.00} or {$50.00} for some type of insurance. We did not agree to this being added to the account and they were told to remove this from the account. Bottom line is they say we owe them a substantial amount of money that we do not agree with as there have been no transactions whatsoever on this account in years.

Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Overcharged for something you did purchase with the card
Company: GOLDMAN SACHS BANK USA (CT)

Apple Card overcharged for a transaction 11 months ago. I dont have the voucher unfortunately, but I signed a voucher for {$50.00}. Apple Card charged me fraudulently {$190.00} The card is asking for evidence when I said I dont have the voucher. I also asked for the copy of the voucher for {$190.00} to Apple Card This card is charging for something that does not exist. They do not have evidence either. 
Restaurant XXXX  did not provide me with a copy of the voucher. 
It was a mistake of the restaurant ( we split the bill ) Or, a mistake from Apple Card. I DID NOT sign a voucher for {$190.00}. It is a way for stealing money from customers. Other credit cards act on behalf of their customers. I dont accept this charge of {$140.00}.

I kindly request your intervention in enforcing the removal of these unverified accounts from my credit report. It is my sincere hope that through your assistance, I can regain control of my financial standing and provide a brighter future for my loved ones. 

Thank you for your understanding and anticipated assistance in this matter. I eagerly await your response.

Issue: Getting a credit card — Card opened as result of identity theft or fraud
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (CA)

On XX/XX/2022 my bank which provides free alerts for me notified me about a hard credit check by Bank of America. I did not authorize this so immediately on the same day, I called B of A and told them it was not me who authorized them to both do a credit check and open a new credit card in my name. They quickly cancelled the card and told me they would take it from there. In addition, I immediately joined the 3 major credit bureaus XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX and put a freeze/lock on my credit. I also called my bank to put a verbal password on it. I believe the credit check only appeared on XXXX and Ive since called them and reported the fraud. They have or will have it removed. XXXX asked me to report it with your services here as well. Thank you.

I bought my son a computer for his XXXX from Best Buy, the salesperson promised me that if I bought that certain computer that it would play my sons one and only game that he plays on a laptop, XXXX and that it would download fast, the graphics would be great and there wouldnt be any lag. This laptop does not even have enough room to even download the game. I took my son to Best Buy to return the computer and they said to speak to the Geek Squad which I did and they assured me once they did a master reset that it would work great! My XXXX year old son was so excited. We went home after they did the master reset, it still didnt have enough memory to load the game. I go to the store the next day and they tell me I am a day late from returning it and it is no longer returnable. So the day I was there, it could be returned but The Geek Squad assures my son and I they it would work, we left there at XXXX and they were closing so they wouldnt download the Fortnite site for me and told me to do it when I got home. I called but they were closed, I went in the next morning and they said I could no longer return it or get a merchandise credit! This laptop sits in a drawer and no one uses it or wants to use it because it is a horrible expensive computer and I had to buy him another laptop. I told them I will not be paying for it as I was assured by their own people that it would work instead of returning and them telling my son its one of the nicest laptops and his games will work perfectly! So we believed them, we however did not know that It was the last day that we could return it, so even though I just wanted to return it, they said give it another day and Im sure everything will work great. The next morning I went in to return it and it was 1 day too late to return it! They can have their computer back and I want my card refunded and this off of my credit report please. Thank you!

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (TX)

My rights were violated for 3 years by this reporting agency, which failed to cease negative credit reporting under the Heroes Act of XXXX. The Heroes Act provided protections against such reporting during the duration of the Nationally declared disaster, COVID-19 Pandemic ( XX/XX/XXXX - XX/XX/XXXX ). 
The Heroes Act expanded relief during the pandemic and the FDIC, OCC, and Federal Reserve identified ways to assist struggling consumers such as myself, through repayment accommodations. Accommodation included : Extending payment due dates, deferments, and forbearance, none of which was offered to me. I should have not only received protection from negative reporting plus ( +120 ) days but offered a chance to repay past due balances in equal payments. For debts greater than {$5000.00}, I should have received a 36-month repayment term but instead have seen complete sabotage to my credit history.

I agreed to settle just for the sake of avoiding debt collectors who called me everyday until payment was received, which was also a suspended practice. Every creditor with negative payment remarks and reporting in my credit file was in direct violation of my rights and this Credit Bureau assisted them in doing so. The negligence has cost me my financial standing and peace of mind. I am not a representative of a credit repair agency, I do not dispute that the accounts belong to me, I am simply an upset consumer appalled by the mismanagement of information and influence during such a dark period in my life. 
I have attempted to resolve this issue at the lowest level possible. Rather than meaningful results, I am faced with intimidating language about the FCRAs rules on Legitimate disputes, a fluffy response that has nothing to do with my claim, or a you are a credit repair agency because there is no way this retired veteran could possibly know how to research legal topics. It is unfortunate that all this Bureau must do is type jargon and it suffices as a real response, case closed by the CFPB. I will not let this error continue. I want one of the options proposed as a solution selected and typed in a response. This way I can confirm I am not speaking to an autobot, which is the tone of all responses coming from the bureau.
