Issue: Closing an account — Company closed your account
Company: DISCOVER BANK
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I received an email this morning, XX/XX/XXXX, from Discover that my account access had been suspended due to unusual activity so I called them to verify anything I needed to. I was then told that my account had been closed by Discover on XX/XX/XXXX due to business reasons but could not be provided any specific reason. I was asked to verify a check that I had deposited on XX/XX/XXXX from my place of work but was still told that my account was closed and there was nothing that could be done. I was also told that I can not access the account nor can I withdraw my money. They said I should get a check for the balance in 60-90 days but thats all the money I have. Why should they be able to hold my money for 2-3 months? I asked to speak with a supervisor and was told that none were available and that ended my call. That money is quite literally my livelihood, I have no way to pay bills or anything now because of this. And nothing was proven to be fraudulent in the account, it was just closed without reason and without me being able to verify anything.

Product: Credit card or prepaid card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement
Company: DISCOVER BANK
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
- XX/XX/XXXX My card was charged {$160.00} by flohocky. 

- XX/XX/XXXX I disputed this fraudulent charge as I didn't have and never had an account with flohockey. While reviewing my account I discovered another previous fradulent charge from flohocky on XX/XX/XXXX for {$140.00} and disputed this at the same time. 

After I had disputed the charges I was also advised to contact flohockey. Their customer service was unhelpful and they told me since I disputed the charge they couldn't do anything about it. I looked up flohocky on the better business bureau and saw they have a F rating. Apparently I am not the only one they are ripping off. 

- XXXX XXXX Discover card reversed the dispute for both charges and reapplied the charges to my account. 

- XXXX, XXXX, XXXX I noticed that the fraudulent charges had been reapplied to my account back in XXXX. I immediately called to find out how that was possible. I was told they would reopen the dispute for the XXXX and once that was resolved they would work on the XXXX charge too. I was told they would follow up with me as to the results of their investigation. 

- XX/XX/XXXX After not hearing anything from Discover card I looked into my account to see the fraudulent {$160.00} reapplied to my account again and spent nearly an hour and a half talking to XXXX different people trying to get these fraudulent charges resolved. I asked what evidence they had that these charges were not fraud. The answer I got was that they had my wife 's name ( authorized account user ) and card information so they viewed them as legitimate charges. I explained that neither myself nor my wife ever signed up for flohockey service nor did we ever provided them with the account information. A charge not authorized by myself or my wife pretty much seems like fraud to me. We don't know how they got the card information.

Issue: Problem when making payments — 
Company: Affirm Holdings, Inc
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I made a purchase on XXXX and at checkout was offered a affirm payment option. I opted to use affirm. After getting the product it was damaged and XXXX issued a credit. I made all the payments to affirm minus the credit that XXXX said it was going to issue.After months of going back and forth XXXX said they kept trying to do the credit and affirm would not accept it. I communicated this with affirm and it seemed it was being work on. I have several emails from including on from XX/XX/XXXX from affirm thanking me for my patience. During this time affirm contracted XXXX XXXX and put the account in collection. There are many emails with affirm and XXXX that validate the credit. Regardless I paid the collection and XXXX gave me the credit personally. The original account was from XXXX of XXXX. Affirm although has been told by XXXX that a credit was attempted multiple times juts continued with collection and Reporting derogatory information to my credit report. I have exhausted every measure available to get this correct as I was clearly not in the wrong. I made every payment to affirm on time on and had approximately XXXX dollar balance which was less then 10 % of the original loan. What was suppose to be a consumer centric product that I did everything I was obligated to do became a credit nightmare. I would never recommend anyone use affirm and they should be investigated. No phone number at times 1-2 months to get a response via email.

Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Received bad information about your loan
Company: AES/PHEAA
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
I am currently with FedLoans ( PHEAA ) and submitting for PSLF. I submitted an ECF 3 years ago for my oldest employer and they did not try to apply it until this year. After waiting 3 years, they denied that XXXX XXXX XXXX filled out the paperwork correctly. I worked for XXXX in a variety of jobs over 16 years so they put " see attachment '' and provided an attached document with the required information on letterhead and signed by a HR official. There is no reason that this should be denied. In the meantime, I called multiple times to ask if this would be a problem and was assured that it would not be a problem. I went back to XXXX and asked them to fill out XXXX individual forms to cover what I needed certified for PSLF. PHEAA will not expedite the review even though I have been waiting for 3 years. 

The years that this employment covers is further complicated as I was with XXXX as my servicer and can not obtain my records from them. Fedloans bought those loans in XXXX but even they do not have the records. This will further delay my PSLF review under the temporary waiver. 

I graduated in XXXX and have been paying on these loans for more than 20 years. After years of being given bad information by bad actors there is hope for forgiveness under the temporary PSLF waiver. I just want someone to make FedLoan actually review this final ECF and apply the payments ( through DoE review ) so that my more than 120 payments can trigger forgiveness.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Last month, I have submitted a dispute letter to the Credit Bureaus addressing the removal of the XXXX XXXX account, with account number XXXX. I even tried calling them to make a follow-up on the removal of the said account, and they have advised me to submit all documents to verify my identity and for them to acknowledge that the account was opened without my knowledge. I did follow their advise and submitted the documents needed regardless of enclosing all those documents in my previous letters. They confirmed that the account will be removed but upon checking my credit report today, the same account is still reporting with the same status. Having been doing a lot of follow-ups through letters and calls, I am still not getting the results that I want. Thus, I am seeking again for your assistance to have these 3 Credit Bureaus address my concern effectively. They have neglecting my request intentionally and this is not acceptable. I would love for them to have this account remove immediately.
