Complaint narrative:
Since XX/XX/2022, I have been contesting fraudulent information on my credit report. I've been waiting for your response, but nothing has come through as of yet. The unverified items stated below continue to report on my credit report in violation of federal law notwithstanding the prior written request. Despite my best efforts to resolve the issue directly with the creditor, the credit bureaus continued to report unsubstantiated information in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 USC sections 1681i, and did so with intentional ignorance and in violation of federal laws. I want this information to be checked for appropriateness, accuracy, and completeness. Please give me a prompt answer describing the actions you will take to remedy this issue. I shall be forced to utilize my legal rights and take legal action if I don't hear back.

Product: Credit card or prepaid card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Trouble using your card — Can't use card to make purchases
Company: DISCOVER BANK
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2022 I called Discover due to declined charges. As I was shopping, I learned that my payment was past due {$230.00}. I asked the representative to process a payment of {$240.00}, where I was advised that even if there was a payment made, the card could not be unlocked until the next business day. I admit, I was quite frustrated because of the inconvenience of the denial and the embarrassment, considering my credit limit. Additionally, I was already in the store attempting to make a purchase. While speaking to a rep who was only able to assist to a certain extent. I then requested to speak to a supervisor. The supervisor did not come off very helpful. In that moment, I requested to speak to her superior. The supervisor told me there was no one higher than her. With more dissatisfaction overcoming me, I requested that the account be closed. I assumed that the lender would have some type of retention resolution in conjunction with regard for the relationship that has be established. As well as my proven payment history. However, that was disregarded. During said call, as the supervisor was reading her disclaimer the call was disconnected. I called back to learn that my account was already closed. In this complaint, the goal is for my account to be reinstated, with the exact limit in which was granted to me. My account can be reviewed to see that I have a great payment history. Furthermore, I would like a coaching opportunity to occur with the representative/supervisor. I do believe that there should have been some type of retention resolution which I was not granted. I believe that a seasoned/assertive representative/supervisor would have afforded me this in efforts to resolve this call with first time quality resolution
