Company: DISCOVER BANK
State: ID

Complaint narrative:
I called XXXX XXXX XXXX for a " free estimate '' for a furnace problem as they advertised on line. They said they needed to have a credit card number to come out but they wouldnt charge my card. Several weeks late, on XX/XX/XXXX a tech came to my house. He looked at my furnace and said I needed a new motor. He did nothing to repair it and said that someone will call me with a price, then he left. He was there for 15 minutes. They said it would be {$700.00} or so. I said ok... but then they sent me a text saying it would be {$1100.00}! I sent them back a text immediately saying there was some mistake because I look up the cost of a motor on the internet and it was only about {$250.00}. So I said I didnt want the service. They then billed Discovercard for the {$1100.00} ... .later they took that off but added at charge of {$300.00}. Discovercard sent me a notice of that charge. I called them within minutes to say it was not authorized and told them the details. They said it would be investigated and they would give me a temporary credit. I kept waiting for the credit to appear. When it never did I called the XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX and spoke with XXXX she said she would fix it. On XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX I spoke with XXXX who said she would fix it, still nothing, then on XX/XX/XXXX I spoke with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I spoke with XXXX and Corporate Headquarters on XXXXXXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX I called again and no claim was denied. Today I called XXXX at the Corporate Headquarters. I never authorized a charge of {$300.00}. I was never given any communication from XXXX XXXX of any amount due, I only found out about the charge thru my Discovercard account. I asked the company who was the owner, they refused to tell me. Finally, my neighbor came over feeling so horrible about what happened. He looked at my furnace and said the motor was fine. He tightened a bolt and it has been working perfectly since then. He has offered to write a statement to this affect.
