Complaint narrative:
I had an account with discover for about XXXX years and I closed it off on XXXX XX/XX/2024. While closing the account, I had XXXX $ that I paid and requested them to close my account. They said they will and deleted the app and thought it was done and dusted. I am not from the XXXX and I do not know all the laws. After XXXX months they call me and said they've tried contacting me over email and mail, and I owe them XXXX XXXX Now, the email they contacted is not something I use, I only used to check the discover app while I had it but I deleted after closing the account and I also moved apartments on XX/XX/2024. 

I paid them XXXX $ immediately and closed the matter. Cut to now, I am trying to buy a car and checked my fico score has dropped XXXX points ( XXXX to XXXX ) from last XXXX to now. Again, I am not used to checking my fico score, I'm not from this country. I called credit bureau to ask what happened to my fico score, they said discover reported it over the XXXX XXXX 

Now, I called discover, and asked them to check my payment history -- - I have never missed a payment or paid late and this XXXX $ is not something I would not have paid had it appeared on my statement while I was closing the account in XXXX. They could have called me soon too -- I could have paid earlier in that case. But I had no idea about this XXXX XXXX 

The XXXX discover ladies working in their credit report unit kept telling me they can not do anything about this because they need to send accurate report to the federal govt and if I have a problem I can start a dispute. So I started a dispute and also letting you all know. 

I am not from this country and you can all check my payment history. I would not steal someone's XXXX XXXX But I do not deserve to pay extra on EMI because my credit score dropped as a result of misunderstanding. Is there any way you can help me remove the negative scores on my credit report so that my credit score goes back to normal? Thanks!
