Company: DISCOVER BANK
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
Purchased around {$500.00} of merchandise from a company that never sent my order. I have tried to contact them about 6 times with no response. They will not refund me. Requested a chargeback with Discover, and they resolved the dispute in my favor for ONE charge from the company, but the other two were not resolved in my favor. I called Discover again in XXXX, and they said they would escalate my dispute and I have yet to hear anything. 

The company I ordered from, I learned, is notorious for taking money & never delivering their product. They have many bad reviews on XXXX XXXX. They are a XXXX based company, and their company dissolved in 2019 according to public XXXX gov company information. This business still operates on various social media platforms ( I'm assuming illegally ). My dispute has gone nowhere because the seller will not answer my credit card company, which means Discover automatically sides with the merchant.

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Complaint Against Equifax for Improper Handling of Reinvestigation Request Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am writing to formally file a complaint against Equifax regarding their handling of my " Request for Reinvestigation and Detailed Description of Verification Methods. '' On XXXX, I submitted a comprehensive request to Equifax to reinvestigate inaccuracies on my credit report and to provide a detailed description of the verification methods used. However, Equifax rejected my request, stating that proper identification was not provided. 
I strongly believe that this rejection is unwarranted and constitutes a procedural failure on the part of Equifax. Enclosed with my original request were the following documents : 1. A signed and dated dispute letter outlining the inaccuracies on my credit report.

2. Copies of my credit reports from XXXX, XXXX, and Equifax highlighting the disputed items. 
3. A copy of my government-issued identification ( driver 's license ).

4. A copy of my Social Security card.

5. A recent utility bill verifying my current address.

6. Any additional supporting documents substantiating my claims. 
I have thoroughly reviewed XXXX guidelines for submitting disputes and ensured that all required documentation was included. The claim that proper identification was not provided is incorrect and has resulted in an unnecessary delay in resolving my credit report inaccuracies. 
Violations of Law I believe that XXXX 's rejection of my request and the subsequent delay violate my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically : 1. 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( Procedure in case of disputed accuracy ) : This section requires that credit reporting agencies conduct a reasonable reinvestigation to determine whether the disputed information is inaccurate and record the current status of the disputed information.

2. 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) ( Compliance procedures to ensure maximum possible accuracy ) : This section mandates that credit reporting agencies must follow reasonable procedures to ensure maximum possible accuracy of the information concerning the individual. 
3. 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) : This section states that a person shall not furnish any information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if the person knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to you to request your assistance regarding an error on my credit report that has had a negative impact on my financial situation. 
Recently, I checked my credit report and found a late payment that I believe is incorrect. This error does not reflect my payment history or my commitment to meet my financial obligations. I have kept a record of my payments and I am sure that I have not been in arrears for the date and account mentioned. 
Since an accurate credit report is essential to my future financial opportunities, I request that this matter be investigated in a timely manner. I would appreciate any guidance you can offer me on the steps to take to correct this error and, if possible, remove the incorrect information from my report.thanks

Complaint narrative:
so i have a DOD Military retirement trust fund that i found out wasnt depositing money into my navy federal account. the problem was that i was removed as the exutor of the trust fund ( without my knowledge of it. ) To my surprise it was put into a persons name that wasnt even family nor extended family. well when this is when i got really smart and wrote my " letter of intent to settle with the state of California. '' I did this to bypass the months of litigation in the courts. But because my phone calls were not coming to me correctly, and there is proof of this, i didnt know that someone, XXXX XXXX XXXX had hired an attorney and made it look as if he was representing myself. this is how the whole letter of intent had been changed and the account holders were changed as well so the DOD trust fund started to deposit into the wrong accounts. For this reason i was hoping to have your company contact the govenor of california and notify him, as well as contact the military and notify them so that we can get this figured out the right way with myself. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX.
