Company: DISCOVER BANK
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
Dear CFPB Representative, I am writing to request your help regarding my Discover credit card account, which was closed by Discover Financial Services without any clear explanation or prior notice. The closure has caused me to lose all of the credit history associated with this account, which has had a significant negative impact on my credit score. 

I do not believe there was any valid reason for Discover to close my account, as I have maintained my payments and account in good standing. The closure was sudden and unexplained. I also understand that the debt I owe to Discover may now be in collections, which is a further concern for me. 

I would appreciate the CFPBs assistance in investigating this matter with Discover to understand why my account was closed and to help restore my credit history linked to the account. Resolving this issue is very important to me as I work on improving my credit standing. 

Please let me know if you need any additional information or documentation from me to support this request. Thank you for your attention and assistance. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a formal complaint against XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) for their repeated failure to respond to my requests regarding a fraudulent debt they are wrongfully attributing to me. This alleged debt has been reported to ChexSystems and is negatively impacting my ability to open bank accounts and access financial services, as well as hurting my credit standing. 

I have contacted XXXX multiple times over the past year through phone calls and written complaints, asking for proof of this alleged debt. Despite my efforts and multiple reports of fraud, XXXX has refused to provide any documentation supporting their claim. This lack of response and accountability is unacceptable and a clear violation of my consumer rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). 

I have acted in good faith and given XXXX more than enough time to respond. They continue to ignore my legitimate dispute and instead have allowed this fraudulent information to remain on record, causing ongoing harm to my financial reputation. 

I am demanding the immediate removal of this debt from ChexSystems and all related records. I expect a formal response, documentation of the debt, and a complete resolution to this matter. I will escalate this complaint through regulatory and legal channels if necessary.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint against Capital One regarding the deceptive practices related to their credit card accounts. Capital One misrepresented the on time payment. I have maintained my credit card account for 5 years and the balance was increased once throughout my time with Capital one. Capital one advertised that every 5 months my available balance was to increase and has never increased. This situation is troubling because it contradicts the commonly understood principle that regular on time payments should result in a noticeable increase.
