Product: Checking or savings account — CD (Certificate of Deposit)
Issue: Closing an account — Fees charged for closing account
Company: DISCOVER BANK
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I've contacted the bank to discuss the recently auto-renewed ( XXXX XXXX IRA CD XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX but the agent couldn't locate the account as the agent didn't think it could be IRA CD, not the regular CD ( I was traveling and didn't have the exact info with me then ). When I called them 2nd time on XXXX XXXX XXXX the different agent located the account but required to have another bank where the fund to be transferred to issue a transfer data form with my signature and mail/fax it to Discover ( the due to avoid further early withdrawal penalty wasn't indicated then but mentioned the penalty would be about XXXX XXXX 
He couldn't close the account to move it to one of their saving accounts right away due to their own internal policy to do so right away. Therefore, I decided to transfer to another local bank. According to the local bank, the transfer form was mailed out on XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, one of Discover bank agent called me, saying if I still wanted to transfer the IRA CD to another bank as the new penalty XXXX to {$230.00}. I was shocked of the sudden increase of the penalty, and requested to talk further with their supervisor ( XXXX ), who strongly denied to reduce the penalty due to their internal penalty as the transfer form arrived on XXXX XXXX, XXXX. The local bank 's mail date was XX/XX/23 and Discover insisted that they received on XXXX XXXX, XXXX. It was eventually closed and moved to another bank and Discover charged {$230.00} for the EWP. According to the USPS headquarters, the domestic standard mail delivery takes 3~5 days. I don't understand why the customer is supposed to be responsible for the holiday weekend delivery delay. I bet the internal process of Discover may have taken extra days from the mail room to internal department. 
I requested the post stamp proof by sending me the copy of the envelope as well as the description of the EWP, they failed sending me both as of today ( XXXX ) although the check with the EWP deduction was delivered to the local bank last month.

Per 15 USC 6802 I am now exerting MY RIGHT to OPT OUT of sharing my transaction history.

All transactions reporting as late on XXXX XXXX XXXX  account # XXXX  must be deleted and updated to current/paid as agreed.
