Product: Checking or savings account — Checking account
Issue: Managing an account — Banking errors
Company: DISCOVER BANK
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I am requesting that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau formally investigate this matter as a case of regulatory misrepresentation, unauthorized account activity, and institutional negligence. 

Let me state this clearly : On XX/XX/year>, a Discover Bank agent told me directly that my dispute was resubmitted on XX/XX/year> without my authorization, and without the updated documents I had submitted as instructed. 

Multiple agents confirmed they were unable to locate my updated documents submitted on XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, each with confirmation numbers. Yet now, in Discovers written response, they claim those documents were received and reviewed on XX/XX/XXXX. That is a blatant contradiction, and either : Discover submitted the redispute with old/insufficient documentation, despite promising a new review OR Discover lied to the CFPB by claiming the redispute included new documentation that they never had access to Either way, the facts are plain : I never authorized Discover to resubmit the dispute on XX/XX/XXXX Discover claimed they didnt have the updated documents, then claimed to review them Their agent openly admitted the redispute was submitted improperly And now, Discover has provided the CFPB with a materially false version of events This isnt a simple banking error this is a case of : Unauthorized dispute submission Mishandling or misplacement of consumer-submitted evidence False claims to a federal regulator Systemic XXXX of a consumer who followed every instruction given And as a XXXXXXXX XXXX the way this entire process has been handled dismissively, coldly, and with complete disregard for my rights has made me feel targeted, silenced, and thrown aside. I feel like I was treated as a problem, not a person.

Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I have already sent a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received any response even after 30 days. It feels like I'm being taken advantage of and my disputes are being ignored. According to Section 611 ( a ), if these items are not investigated within 30 days, they should be promptly removed from my credit report. Since it has been over 30 days, I expect these accounts to be updated immediately. If not, I will have no choice but to pursue legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Additionally, my information was also affected by the Equifax, Experian, and Transunion data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
Synchrony attempted to take an unauthorized payment from my account on XX/XX/XXXX. I was unaware of this and made my card payment as usual on XX/XX/XXXX. My payment for XX/XX/XXXX was taken out twice, as they attempted a total of three charges for my one payment. One was declined on XX/XX/XXXX. XXXX payments went through on XX/XX/XXXX, posting on XX/XX/XXXX. I authorized one payment for {$40.00}, not three for {$120.00}. 
I called my bank again and had to dispute the second out of three charges for one payment. 
Synchrony received my payment that I authorized on XX/XX/XXXX. I have sent them proof from my bank twice. Their chat support is all I have been able to reach, and they have thus far provided 0 accurate information. I have emailed their customer support and they will not respond. 
They are currently doubling my minimum payment and raised my balance {$40.00}, after my {$40.00} payment was made on XX/XX/XXXX for my bill due XXXX and they are refusing to respond or resolve this issue, while raising my debt.

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. " I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.
