Company: DISCOVER BANK

Complaint narrative:
I opened a secured Discover Card with a {$200.00} deposit. After 7 months, they deemed my account eligible to become an unsecured card and as such, the owe me my deposit back. They claim to have mailed it  ( after 7-10 business day shipping ). I never received it. I called in and told them and they told me to wait another 30 business days for them to process and check to see if I had cashed it. As expected, I had n't and they claim to have mailed another one. After 7-10 days, I still have NOT received it. I called in and they told me my only option is to wait another 30 days for them to process and another 10 to mail. I need my {$200.00} and they are essentially stealing from me. The main demographic for this card is college students or other non credit worthy individuals and this is extremely malicious behavior. I mail using USPS every day and it has yet to fail me. I do not believe the problem is in USPS, I believe Discover is illegally not sending me my check. P lease help me retrieve my money. I can not afford to wait another 30 days for them to correct their own mistake, I need the money to buy my books for school, pay tuition, etc.

Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: Ditech Financial LLC
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
I bought a Mobile home on XX/XX/XXXX with a mortgage loan from Greentree. I have paid my loan every month since, always early or on time. ditech assumed the loan from my old mortgage company. I continued to pay early or on time. The loan is an 8 % simple interest loan so I pay the loan on the XXXX of the month instead of the XXXX of the month when it is due for a potential interest savings. I was even paying an extra {$200.00} a month towards principal for a while until ditech started posting payments wrong and I noticed a big fluctuation in the amount of payment that went to interest. Since XX/XX/XXXX, there has been a continually problem with posting my proper payment to my account. I repeatedly have to call to get it straightened out because they post it to the principal or interest and not the monthly payment. It takes repeated phone calls with assurances that it is fixed and then it happens again in a month or two. Since the problem is still happening in XX/XX/XXXX, I now write down when I call and who I talk to. I called XX/XX/XXXX and spoke to XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and spoke to XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and spoke to XXXX. I was assured the problem was fixed, notes made to the account and safeguards put in place that my payment would only be applied to the next due payment. This did not happen. I have been turned over to collections twice for overdue payments and receive a call today ( XX/XX/XXXX ) from XXXX notifying me they are a debt collector for ditech. That would be fine but I have never been even late on a payment, much less missed one. I pulled up my account on-line with ditech and see the payment they received on XX/XX/XXXX went entirely towards interest and they are showing no other received payments. The reality is the XX/XX/XXXX payment was for XX/XX/XXXX and should have been posted so. My XX/XX/XXXX payment went out on XX/XX/XXXX and they will receive it on or about XX/XX/XXXX. My interest rate in XX/XX/XXXX was {$150.00}, in XX/XX/XXXX it was {$440.00}, and in XX/XX/XXXX it was {$500.00}. These are the things I have called about and fought to get fixed. The interest rate is always dramatically different when it is a simple interest loan and I pay the same day of the month. Should n't it be close to the same amount each month? I have wasted countless hours on the phone straightening out this mess on a repeated basis and it just happens again. Customer service tells you it is fix but it never is and fight with you when you want to talk with a supervisor. No consumer should have to be subject to this type of treatment from a loan company, much less a customer that pays on time.

Company: DISCOVER BANK
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
I had some unauthorized transactions on my Discover card between XXXX XXXX 2017 to XXXX XXXX 2017. I  reported this with Discover talked to their fraud investigator and was very clear that only the transactions between those dates were unauthorized. We even went through each one so to make sure there were no mistakes. I received an alert from my familys business checking account that I was overdrawn by more than {$3000.00}. After viewing account information Noticed a Misc. Withdrawl for {$4600.00} from Discover. Further I have been receiving alerts from utility companies for charges placed on my discover card from XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. Discover has literally reversed every transaction that has ever been placed on My discover card and without my permission marked every transaction as fraud and forced merchants chargebacks. This includes numerous businesses I frequent. I want to make it perfectly clear, the transactions prior to XXXX XXXX, 2017 were all authorized and initiated per the agreement with Discover, which is a Contract by adhesion meaning I had no say in the terms. Discover created the contract and now have violated their own contract at least 2 dozen times. I Have suffered damages that will exceed {$50000.00}. Discovers actions will destroy business relationships, it has cost me NFS fees, charge back fees and late fees. All my accounts due dates are between XX/XX/XXXX-XX/XX/XXXX of every month. Discovers reckless and unlawful actions are forcing me to take tomorrow off work to deal with the damages. I have dozens of calls to make as most departments are closed at the time I was notified of this incident, therefore forcing me to take tomorrow ( Wednesday XX/XX/XXXX ) off work. I have already drafted a civil complaint to file in XXXX County Circuit court against Discover. I believe other family members will be doing the same over the next week since this has also affected them. Additionally, Discover wrongfully closed this account and reported the negative information to all credit bureaus.
