Company: DISCOVER BANK
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a formal complaint against Discover Bank regarding a fraudulent account that remains on my credit report despite my previous requests for its removal. This situation has caused significant distress and financial harm, and I believe it is necessary to involve the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) to address this matter. 

According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) Section 623 ( a ) ( 8 ) [ 1 ], Discover Bank is obligated to conduct a reasonable investigation of a direct dispute when it relates to the consumer 's liability for a credit account or other debt with the furnisher. I have previously notified Discover Bank about the fraudulent nature of the account and provided substantial evidence, including my driver 's license, social security card, police report, FTC ID Theft Affidavit, notarized letter, and prison release form [ 6 ].

In addition, under FCRA Section 609 ( e ) [ 2 ], Discover Bank is required to provide records of fraudulent transactions to victims of identity theft within 30 days of receiving a request for these records. Despite my request, Discover Bank has failed to comply with this requirement. 

I have made multiple attempts to resolve this issue directly with Discover Bank, but they have been unresponsive and have not taken any action to rectify the situation. Therefore, I am turning to the CFPB for assistance in resolving this matter. 

I kindly request that the CFPB investigate this complaint against Discover Bank and take appropriate action to ensure the removal of the fraudulent account from my credit report. Discover Bank 's failure to comply with the FCRA not only violates my rights as a consumer but also has severe consequences for my financial well-being. 

I have attached all relevant documentation, including my previous correspondence with Discover Bank and the supporting evidence of the fraudulent account. I trust that the CFPB will thoroughly review this complaint and work towards a resolution that is fair and just. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to a prompt response and the resolution of this issue.
