Company: GREENSKY OPERATIONS, LLC

Complaint narrative:
I have a window loan through Greensky and XXXX XXXX. Not only has XXXX XXXX failed all county inspections they have refused to take accountability and call me back so I can get the right information and close my contract. Now I contacted greensky for a pay off statement to clear my loan and they told me I wasnt verified and my account was closed. Now that Im asking for this they are saying that their credit department did reach me, get my information and dropped the ball by not updating my account. Now they have to open an investigation and that doesnt guarantee I will be able to get this letter. However Im still expected to make these payments despite wanting to pay off the loan through my own bank.

Company: DISCOVER BANK
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
Recently, I reached out to Discover ( credit card ) to inquire if they provided multifactor authentication ( XXXX ) for their accounts. To my surprise, they confirmed that they do not offer XXXX, and when asked if it was planned for the future, they also said no. Instead, they suggested that they had some sort of backdoor security measures in place for themselves, but not for consumers. When I asked how to submit feedback, they suggested doing so, but revealed that there isnt a direct feedback form available for customers. 

I find it ridiculous that a financial service does not offer two-factor authentication, especially when even simple gaming websites do. If Discover can implement backend security measures, why cant they implement XXXX on the customer-facing side? During my research, I encountered several people with the same concern. It seems like a straightforward enhancement that could provide an extra layer of security for consumers, and its baffling that in 2024, Discover still does not offer it
