Company: DISCOVER BANK
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I have disputed my Discover credit card for multiple charges by XXXX XXXX which were not initiated by me. I am sure that as a credit card company Discover can see where the charges are coming from with the name and XXXX XXXX. I had absolutely nothing to do with the fraudulent charges that were made to my Discover account. Discover assigned a XXXX agent to my case that would make fun of my accent and kept denying my claim as if I was the one that used the card and tried to dispute the charges. I am an old customer with Discover and I would never go as low as to use my card and blame it on fraud. Thanks God we live in the most advanced country with the most advanced technologies and for Discover not to be able to properly investigate and find the perpetrators is simply not true. Discover preferred to blame it on me rather than investigate the charges and find the real fraudsters. If I am guilty of committing this crime they should go ahead and charge me with fraud but instead they find the easiest solution-blame it all on the card holder.

Company response to consumer: Closed with monetary relief
