Complaint narrative:
I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. 

It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. 

I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

Complaint narrative:
**Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Complaint** **Consumer Information : ** - **Name : ** XXXX XXXX - XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, TX XXXX **Complaint Summary : ** I am writing to escalate my ongoing issue with Discover Bank regarding an ACH withdrawal and subsequent mishandling of my dispute over {$20000.00}. I have previously submitted a complaint and have received insufficient communication and resolution from Discover Banks executive team. This is my second complaint on this matter. 

**Complaint Details : ** 1. **Initial Incident : ** - On XX/XX/year>, I requested a stop payment for an ACH withdrawal of {$20000.00} to XXXX XXXX  XXXX Initially, the amount was taken out on XX/XX/year>, but was credited back automatically. Despite this, I requested a stop payment to ensure no further issues would occur. 
- My initial request for a stop payment was denied by the first agent. The next day, I successfully placed a stop payment request, but the charge still went through on XX/XX/year>. 

XXXX. **Dispute Filing : ** - I immediately called and filed a dispute, but Discover erroneously disputed the first charge. I was not informed of this error until recently. 
- Despite terminating my ACH authorization with XXXX, they withdrew the funds again. Standard practice should have reissued my account on XX/XX/year>, but this did not occur until later. 
- After correcting the dispute, I have been missing {$20000.00} from my account for nearly a month due to Discovers error. My account balance has been reduced by 80 %, leaving only {$5000.00} available. I have been told multiple times that the funds would be returned soon, but they have not been credited to my account. 

XXXX. **Additional Issues : ** - Discover erroneously placed a stop payment on XXXX XXXX  XXXX causing a {$30.00} ACH reversal fee. 
- Despite conversations and assurances from Discover agents, including documentation attached to this complaint, I have received little to no follow-up from Discovers executive team.

**Negligence and Lack of Cooperation : ** XXXX has been uncooperative in resolving this issue. Discover was negligent in allowing the funds to be taken despite my stop payment request and terminated ACH authorization. The executive team at Discover has failed to provide adequate communication or resolution.

**Attached Documents : ** - Copy of the letter from Discover dated XX/XX/year>, confirming that the funds were returned to XXXX XXXX  but not credited to my account. 

**Resolution Requested : ** I urgently request the immediate credit of {$20000.00} to my account. Discovers mishandling of my dispute has caused significant financial distress, and I expect prompt resolution and compensation for any fees incurred due to this negligence. 


Thank you for your attention to this matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

My intent is solely to ensure that my consumer report reflects only those transactions that I have authorized.
