Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: DISCOVER BANK
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
To Whom It May Concern, I am writing in reference to a recent denial of credit from Discover, citing the following reasons : Insufficient balance decrease on bank revolving account Insufficient balance decrease on revolving retail account ( s ) Balance increase on bank revolving accounts These statements appear to be inaccurate. I currently hold several credit cards with limits up to {$10000.00}. I have an outstanding balance of approximately {$5000.00} on one card, which I actively use and recently performed a balance transfer on. 

It is my belief that these reporting practices may be intentionally affecting individuals credit scores unfairly. I request that these claims be investigated thoroughly to ensure that such actions are not disproportionately targeting certain demographic groups. 

Please consider this a formal request for review of my application and the credit decision process. I am also preparing to file a complaint with the Attorney Generals office and may consider legal action against Discover, citing potential bias in lending practices. 

For reference, my Discover application number is XXXX, submitted on XX/XX/year>. 

I look forward to your prompt response and resolution. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

You are required to provide this information upon request, and I am formally requesting that it be sent to me immediately.
