Consumer complaint received 2024-02-28 00:00:00
Product: Checking or savings account — Checking account
Issue: Managing an account — Cashing a check
Company: DISCOVER BANK
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
I recently opened two new accounts with Discover Bank, a checking and a savings account. Ever since opening these accounts, I have been unable to deposit checks through mobile deposit. When I try to deposit a check it is always rejected immediately with only " due to security reasons '' as an error popup explanation. 

I have tried depositing checks from different people, with different banks, for different amounts, and the only thing that any of these checks have in common is that they are all personal checks. I have even written myself a check from an account with a different bank, and this check was also rejected without explanation. Notably, these are not high value/risk checks, with amounts from {$100.00} to a maximum of {$500.00}. The limits for mobile deposit per their own terms for mobile deposit are far in excess of these amounts. Also notable is that I have had a positive business relationship with Discover Bank 's credit card arm since 2018. 

I have contacted the bank through its chat support multiple times, their security department phone line, and spoke to customer support phone line to resolve this issue. The bank has taken the position that it can not solve the problem, can not identify the problem, and that the only solution is to mail in all checks for deposit to their address at my expense. It claims that it does allow checks to mobile deposited, just as their advertising claims, yet when employees are pressed as to why it never works for me they simply repeat that I am able to mail checks in for deposit. 

Despite repeated requests by me to escalate this issue, Discover Bank claims that it is unable to escalate the issue and my request that someone follow up with me to resolve the issue is denied. Customer support phone staff claim it is against federal regulations for them to follow up with me by phone, and that supervisors are not permitted to follow up by email. Per my last phone conversation with bank employees, they " can not guarantee '' that someone will contact me to take any action towards resolution. 

Mobile check deposit is a fundamental function of a basic checking and savings account and is heavily advertised in promotion of Discover Bank accounts. So far no action has been taken to provide this advertised service. In fact, there has been a direct refusal to work in good faith to even examine the problem. Instead, employees have seemingly been instructed to repeat " your check can be deposited by mail '' and to not escalate issues to people empowered to resolve them, claiming that there is no one empowered or capable for understanding why all checks are rejected for my accounts.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CT

Complaint narrative:
The company has multiple social security numbers on my profile. I don't know how long has the other social security numbers been on my profile because I've been trying to better my credit for months. I believe there is fraud involved maybe even human trafficking because there is no reason for another social security number to be on my file. I asked them if I can make a dispute and the agent told me I can not and if I do it will lower my credit score. I never heard that excuse before so it's hard for me to trust the company. It seems like they want to rush me off the phone when I was asking for more information. I told them multiple time that the social security number that I see on the website is not mine the agent kept telling me its an error. I don't know how long the error has been there and I believe its been affecting my credit profile negatively.

Complaint narrative:
As a federally protected consumer, my rights have been violated causing damage to my reputation and well-being through the intrusion of my privacy and inaccurate reporting. XXXX XXXX willfully furnished adverse information to the credit bureau, Equifax. In addition, transactions were reported which violate 15 USC 1681a ( A ) ( i ). I never gave Equifax nor XXXX XXXX any written or unwritten consent to share any of my information publicly. Also, XXXX XXXX furnished information to Equifax as charged off numerous of times on my report. A charge-off is considered income, and income is not allowed to be furnished to a credit report. 15 USC 6802 ( b ) ( c ) states that " A financial institution may not disclose nonpublic personal information to a nonaffiliated third party unless the consumer is explained how the consumer can exercise that nondisclosure option. '' XXXX XXXX never informed me of my right to exercise my nondisclosure option. Not only that 15 USC 1681C ( a ) ( 5 ) states '' Except as authorized under subsection ( b ), no consumer reporting agency may make any consumer report containing any of the following items of information Any other adverse item of information, other than records of convictions of crimes which antedates the report by more than seven years. '' This account is an adverse item they are reporting again without my permission which is against the law. 15 U.S. Code XXXX681s2 ( A ) ( 1 ) A states " A person shall not furnish any information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if the person knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate. 15 U.S. Code 1681e states '' Every consumer reporting agency shall maintain reasonable procedures designed to avoid violations of section 1681c of this title and to limit the furnishing of consumer reports to the purposes listed under section 1681b of this title. Equifax and XXXX XXXX are not maintaining reasonable procedures. Also, 12 CFR 1016.7 states that " A consumer may exercise the right to opt-out at any time. '' I am opting out of your reporting services.
