Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement
Company: DISCOVER BANK
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX I went to make an online purchase from my Discover Credit Card. I have made purchases with this card through the year as I have needed it. However I had received a credit card limit increase having been with the company for a handful of years so i knew there was plenty of money on the card. I went to use the card in the morning to order a XXXX gift for my fiance when I notice the Discover card app telling me my account is not only maxed out but over drawn! I have never maxed out a credit card and I have certainly never over drawn. I started panicking as soon as i noticed and felt foolish that I hadn't noticed sooner. I'm just not use to this kind of thing happening but I call the credit card company as soon as i am aware of the issue. I spent probably over an hour on the phone providing any and all information and going through the entire list of charges. The card seems to have been used physically dispite me having the original card. And what's harder to understand is the credit card company has stated that the charges stopped on the alternate card after the credit report was made though they said the card would still remain active while i recvived a new card. I assumed the guy must have stopped using it once it maxed out. That's just my guess. 
I was under the impression that everything was taken care of after I made the necessary calls. And was given reassurance by a Discover Card representative. But I earlier received another call back from Discover and they are saying that since I have shopped at similar places in the small town XXXX area, that it appears illigitmate. The representative also claimed that fake credit cards do not actually exist and that they are just a popular idea on XXXX. I asked if there was any information at all that I could provide to help with their investigation and provided as many details that I could possibly remember following the dates of the charges. The representative refused any addition information and she insinuated I was lying. I immediately continued to take action with a police report. Police Report Case Tracking Number : XXXX.

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX XXXX I opened an account with Truist bank in XXXX Tennessee. I told the banker what had happened at another bank ( XXXX XXXX Pryor to opening this account he pulled it all up said there shouldnt be a problem since no money was taken from the check I had taken in good faith for finding a house for a man I had been helping look for a home in my area since XX/XX/2022. I had no idea it wasnt going to clear but after XXXX ran it three times I finally told them to just stop running it they froze my account and closed the account and informed me I needed to find another bank to deal with. Now Truist has taken my payroll check for XXXX and {$100.00} cash and is holding it. I live pay check to pay check due to bills Ive not ever deposited a bad check nor did I think I was this time. He wanted to put XXXX as a down payment and he was loaning me XXXX to pay off bills plus XXXX for helping him find his house. He had sent money through XXXX for gas and such so I just assumed his check was good too. Now Truist has frozen my account is demanding proof that my pay roll check was for me and a letter from the place my company gets to do our checks and it has to be notarized XXXX sent a message with a phone number and all but I was sent an email saying my pay stub was denied and the letter wasnt acceptable. I just want my money. I have a commercial license which is considered a federal license. I didnt know the check at XXXX was bad if I had I would have not ever deposited it in my account. Now Truist is using what happened at XXXX against me. XXXX didnt lose any money I didnt ever pull any of it my thought was allow it to process and when it clears handle the business but it seems that me trying to get a head in life by working for an individual back fired and ruined my name and worth. I can see if I had pulled money off the check but I didnt even try and it was I who made the bank stop running it. So, Please someone help me if I was such a bad human why would I be spilling my guts out to total strangers plus I didnt celebrate XXXX due to this and what there holding is my truck note which Im going to have to let go back because its now over 30 days. I just want what Ive worked for is all and my life back and my slate cleaned up because the bank didnt ever lose one shiny penny on that bad check.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I submitted a request to block items on my consumer report as I am a victim of identity theft. This was not a dispute, however, the FCRA has chosen to forgo Federal regulation and apply their company policy to treat this as a dispute. In fact, when I called them, they stated that their policy supersedes Federal law ( which states ) ( a ) Block A consumer reporting agency should block the reporting of any information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date receipt by such agency of- ( 1 ) appropriate proof of the identity of the consumer ; ( 2 ) a copy of an identity theft report, ( 3 ) the identification of such information by the consumer, and ( 4 ) a statement by the consumer that the information is not information relating to any transaction by the consumer. I submitted proof that my social security number, fingerprints, birthdate, addresses, and other identifying information were affected by the XXXX XXXX data breach as well as XXXX 's XXXX data breach. I submitted all the required documents per XXXX and yet the CRA has failed to block this information and it has been over 4 days. Again, this is NOT A DISPUTE.
