Company: DISCOVER BANK
State: MN

Complaint narrative:
An account was fraudulently opened using my information. I repeatedly asked Discover to remove the account from my name and credit reports, but they refused. I have added an updated report as documentation that includes a possible person who may have committed the fraud since the name used to open my account is not my legal first name but a nickname. They resided in my home from XXXX. The person had access to my property, such as mail, phone, computer, social security number, address, and other things that may have compromised my private information. However, my information is also on the dark web and involved in the XXXX breach, and XXXX and XXXX confirmed this. The information includes my name, address, social security number, phone number, email, and password. Due to this, I do not know whether it is a relative or a stranger who is behind this account. Discover is the only company that has yet to take care of this matter properly, fairly, and adequately. I hope neither my race nor ethnicity is the reason for the hurdles that have been presented.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to address the presence of unauthorized transactions in my consumer report, which I did not authorize or instruct. As a result, I formally request the blocking and removal of these accounts without any inaccuracies or misrepresentation of facts. Below, I have listed the specific accounts in question : It appears that your organization may be violating 15 U.S.C 1681a 2 ( A ) ( i ), which prohibits a consumer report from solely containing information about transactions or experiences between the consumer and the entity reporting the information. 

This statute explicitly states that XXXX, as the reporting entity, should not include transactions or experiences associated with the line of credit extended between the consumer and the reporting entity in my consumer report. 

I urge you to promptly update my utilization to 5 % or below within XXXX calendar days or remove all utilization from the mentioned accounts. 

Furthermore, I request that you provide all documents on which you rely for reporting the referenced accounts, in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S.C. 1681g ). The information you are reporting is damaging to my reputation and adversely affecting my creditworthiness. 

Therefore, I demand the removal of these accounts from my file within 30 days, as required by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ), or verification of these accounts.

Additionally, along with the removal of erroneous and unverified information, kindly eliminate all non-account holding inquiries older than 30 days.

Failure to provide a satisfactory response with the deletion of the mentioned utilization and inquiries will result in legal action against your company, for which I will seek {$1000.00} per violation : Defamation of Character Civil Liability Fair Credit Reporting Act 15 U.S.C 1681 violations for willful noncompliance - 616. Civil liability for willful noncompliance [ 15 U.S.C. 1681n ]
