Complaint narrative:
Report # XXXX with Experian I applied for bankruptcy while unemployed. While the case was being reviewed, I got a new job. The judge rejected/dismissed the application. 

I didn't go through XXXX  XXXX bankruptcy and confirmed this with the court. I received a dismissal document proving this and paid my debts back. 

Experian has listed this application on my credit report as a XXXX  XXXX bankruptcy. I contacted them multiple times and submitted court documents to prove the truth. 

This has confused creditors and affected credit worthiness. A recent mortgage company almost rejected my application b/c of this confusing info.

Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: False statements or representation — Attempted to collect wrong amount
Company: DISCOVER BANK
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am not an attorney, legal counsel or tax expert but rather a consumer, alleged obligor, in accordance to enumerated consumer laws. 
I am in receipt of a communication in response to a request for compliance to The GrammLeachBliley Act respecting consumer right of privacy by depository institution Discover Bank. 
The balance in excess of {$1.00} in accordance to the Fair Credit Billing Act is a credit balance deceptively purported as the false representation of the character, amount, or legal status of any debt balance. Discover Bank confirms that the credit balance due is correct and valid and has made no effort to refund the credit balance in full by check, cash or money order. As there is no deficit stated to verify a debt balance, Discover Bank has illegally taken action that can not legally be taken to disgrace the consumer by communicating to any person credit information which is known or which should be known to be false via consumer reporting agencies without my written permission in breach of trust. Please see enclosed credentials and deceptive communication enclosed alleging debt. Discover has refused to cooperate in compliance of consumer revocation of consent to furnishing information to unaffiliated third parties as unauthorized use. Discover Bank has purports to represent the Bureau in the false representation or implication that the debt collector is vouched for, bonded by, or affiliated with the United States or any State, including the use of any badge, uniform, or facsimile thereof.
