Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Card was charged for something you did not purchase with the card
Company: DISCOVER BANK
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I inserted my Discover credit card into an automated pump at a XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX, FL and after entering my zip code got a message on the pump 's screen that read " SEE CASHIER '' ; I was in a bit of a hurry and pulled up to the next pump, inserted my Discover credit card and zip code and got the same message on the screen. This time, I went inside and told the cashier, she said that I could purchase gas inside the store. I did not want to do that because I was afraid that I would be charged twice, so I left that XXXX XXXX never having lifted a single pump, or putting any gas into my car a XXXX XXXX XXXX ( only takes gas as fuel ). It should be noted that the gas pump never displayed the typical message when a credit card is authorized to pump gas, such as, " lift handle and dispense fuel. '' About an hour later I got gas at another XXXX XXXX station in another part of XXXX. A few days later, I noticed a pending charge of {$120.00} from the XXXX station where I never pumped any gas. I called up Discover Card and notified them that I did not pump any gas and they told me that the gas station put a hold for {$120.00} and that it should drop off in about a week. That did not happen, instead the charge posted. I disputed the charge, and also appealed Discovers ' finding that I owe the {$120.00}. When Discover sent their letter dated XX/XX/XXXX, only then was I informed that the charge of {$120.00} was for diesel fuel -something I couldn't pump into my car because my car only takes gasoline. I filed a Police Report in XXXX regarding the incident and that my Discover credit card had been used without my authorization, and that this is a fraudulent charge. I had tried unsuccessfully to resolve this matter with the XXXX XXXX station and they just denied responsibility and pointed to Discover Card. Discover Card states a {$0.00} Fraud Liability Guarantee, however, they apparently do not stand behind this policy. I never authorized anyone to pump diesel fuel. I drove away from the XXXX gas station without pumping any gas, either their pump malfunctioned, the cashier didn't clear out my credit card information, or Discover Card made a mistake authorizing the charge. I notified Discover Card as soon as I saw that a charge of {$120.00} was pending, told them that I never pumped any gas and that this was not authorized by me. Discover Card had the opportunity to deny that charge and not post it to my account since I had notified them that the charge was not authorized and fraudulent. I submitted a pdf of the Police Report that I had filed to Discover, even that did not change Discover Card 's view of this matter.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION

Complaint narrative:
Headquarters address Consumer Financial Protection Bureau XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX, DC XXXX Dear Friend ; It has been approximately 45 days since I requested Bank of America to close my account due to expected fraud. A contact with a Bank of America customer service representation concluded with a promise that Bank America would contact me and establish a new account and transfer my banking relationship to that account. This had not occurred. In fact, I have been denied transaction use of the account since. However, I continue to receive low account balances and other info for an account that I can not access. 

I am also requesting the review of the long wait time for Bank Of America Customer Service. 
Recently I was on hold for approximate 90 minutes before giving up. Hi was after two other waits and a called. 

I would also like to bring to your attention to XXXX XXXX. After my XXXX mortgage was transferred to XXXX, I am required to pay $ XXXX for each online monthly payment by phone. 
XXXX states that they will remove the cost if I open a XXXX bank account. As a former Federal Reserve Bank examiner, I know that the bank account would generate hidden balance cost and other undesired inconveniences. This practice is a violation of fair access nad any life based minimum service. 

My third concern is with XXXX XXXX. After applying for an auto loans, I was informed that I was required to purchase an auto from a XXXX XXXX recommended auto dealer. This type of bank tie-in appears to be a conflict of interest for XXXX XXXX which I assume is receiving economic benefits from the dealers. I consider this a form of predatory lending and a violation of fair credit. 



Sincerely, XXXX XXXX, XXXX
