Consumer complaint received 2022-10-28 00:00:00
Product: Credit card or prepaid card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Trouble using your card — Can't use card to make purchases
Company: DISCOVER BANK
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I applied for Discover It Student Credit Card online on XX/XX/XXXX, uploaded and signed the documents they asked for, got the physical card on XX/XX/XXXX, and get activated that day. 

But on XX/XX/XXXX, when I tried to use my card to purchase a dinner, it did not work. I called Discover, and they blame me for signing a document, 4506-C, that they asked for in the email. They claimed that I should have called them because that's what they said in the email, which was not true. Here is the email. 

" " " " " Discover Financial Services requires your consent to receive income information from the Internal Revenue Service ( IRS ) to verify information on your account. 

You can expect a separate email from " Verification Services '' ( sent via XXXX ) with the subject line : " XXXX XXXX '' Has Sent You IRS Consent Form 4506-C to Sign. Please follow the step-by-step instructions in the email within five days. 

Note : If the email is not in your inbox, please check your junk mail or spam folders. 

Prompt action must be taken in order to validate your account information for continued use. Until this verification is complete, a temporary hold has been placed on your account. If for any reason you are unable to complete the consent form, please contact us directly at XXXX, or call the phone number on the back of your card. 

Once Discover has received and processed the IRS information, you will be contacted in writing to advise that the review of your account is completed. 

We appreciate your prompt attention and cooperation. 

Thank you, Discover Financial Services " " " " " They certainly ordered me to sign the document directly in the email. But the operator of Discover on XX/XX/XXXX claimed that I should have called them, so I don't need to sign the document, but they would have requested me to upload my bank statement, which I've already done during the application. 

So basically, she blamed me that it was my fault to sign the form, and that's completely false. But I certainly believe I was not wrong, which is the reason I'm filing a claim. 

So be careful when dealing with Discover, so unprofessional.
