Consumer complaint received 2021-08-14 00:00:00
Product: Checking or savings account — Checking account
Issue: Problem caused by your funds being low — Bounced checks or returned payments
Company: DISCOVER BANK
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2021, I was hired by a company that sent me two checks, one for {$2200.00} the second for {$1900.00} to purchase a computer, software, and printer from a specified vendor to be used for the remote customer service position. This seemed strange. I felt unsure about this being ok. So before I did anything I called my bank and talked to a customer service agent and explained what was being asked of me and was that a normal thing, if it was ok. The agent told me that it was unusual, but something that is done. I can go ahead and make the deposit and payments if it does turn out to be fraudulent I would not be held liable for the funds. So, after reaching out to my bank for guidance if I should proceed or not, because and only because the bank representative said it would be ok to proceed and not be liable, I made the deposits and payments totaling {$2200.00}. The company and the checks were fraudulent and the money I had in my account was taken to cover the transactions I made ( with assurance I was not liable ). I was a victim of a scam. And though I authorized the transactions, I NEVER would have even deposited that first check if I had not been guided by the bank 's employee. I am now {$180.00} overdrawn. I realize that I authorized the transactions, However, I believe the bank should be liable due to the actions of the customer service agent telling me I could without incident. I have exhausted all levels of escalation at the bank but am not ok with the bank instructing me to do something and then after I do, being held responsible for the result. I have documentation and notes for the conversations and the responses I received. Additionally, I have the name of the representative from the disputes and investigations unit who read the transcript from the phone call I made to the bank seeking help and said the bank is at fault and should be doing the right thing and cover the lost funds.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
I dont believe TransUnion is in fair practice or is resolving disputes accurately. I had two false collections reported and neither were satisfactorily resolved. One of the accounts I submitted picture proof that the account was closed in good standing, then the company ( a gym ) continued to charge fraudulently and illegally sent a false amount to collections. I will not pay this and will sue the credit reporting agencies if necessary for allowing false damage of credit and fallout including damages against myself, including but not limited to damaged credit and inability to procure a vehicle for work due to false credit damages. Gyms should not be allowed to take advantage of people during Covid, and TransUnion has a responsibility to make accurate credit reporting.

Complaint narrative:
I have attempted several times to get this matter resolved with Discover but they continue to ignore my request. Discover continues to report damaging negative information about a debt that I do not owe to XXXX, XXXX and XXXX. I did not give Discover my written consent to report information about me to any consumer reporting agency. I informed Discover of the violations that they are committing against me and demanded that they compensate me {$6000.00} for each violation. I sent them an opportunity to cure which they have 14 days from the date the received my certified letter with return receipt. My next step will be to file a complaint in court.

Complaint narrative:
I made several calls to Elan Financial services prior to a major purchase, after making an {$18000.00} payment. I called in advance and several times throughout the experience to ask for guidance and get help. Along the way I was apologized to and encouraged to make the large transaction purchase. I was very thorough in my explanation of the purchase and received assurance each time I called that there was an error on their side and I should returned to the store for the purchase. Ultimately my purchase was declined, despite being well within my credit limit. I was also assured by multiple levels of fraud and customer service personnel that my account was fine. After 3 days of calls and assurances my account was closed for high risk transactions. I received a letter accusing me of lying on my application or not keeping my commitments. I have never missed a payment and recently paid off the account in full. This is unacceptable. I want a high level director or above to listen to each call ( they are all recorded ) and explain how I was at fault in any way. I will be filing this complaint with all applicable regulatory and consumer protection agencies.
