Complaint narrative:
This complaint is directly related to my previous complaint # XXXX which you closed due to a fraudulent response from Discover Card and signed by XXXX XXXX XXXX complaint was related to the charge on my card for purchase of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX software. The " response '' provided Discover fraudulently indicated that " they did not recognize the charge '' which had nothing to do with the truth. As a matter of fact, I did purchase that software but the XXXX software billed a firewall ion my computer that did not allow me to use Internet, I was unable to send e-mails which started to accumulate in my " outbox '' without gong out. I had no other way but to remove that software from my computer and declined to honor the charge. The second fraudulent claim made by Mr. XXXX XXXX in that " company 's response '' was a claim that " On XX/XX/2020, we received documentation from the merchant that included a copy of the transaction details, terms, and explanation from the merchant that included a copy of the transaction details. '' Proof of my purchase I have myself, but I do not have any " terms '' of that purchase myself. As a matter of fact, when I disputed the practical validity of purchase ( and not the recognition of the transaction itself ) XXXX talked to me and told me that I " was supposed to call their technical support department when I had problems with that software installing a firewall that did not allow me to use Internet. I have never received any " terms '' let alone any telephone number for technical support. When I disputed the charge and later saw that charge reinstalled on the same date it was removed ( another fraudulent claim of Mr. XXXX XXXX XXXX I called Discover and talked to a man by name XXXX who told me that I was supposed to record those facts ( i.e., firewall that did not allow me to use Internet or accumulation of my outside mail in my " outside '' box, facts not disputed by XXXX when I talked to them after seeing the charge. And finally failure Mr. XXXX XXXX to inform of his actual days and time of being in the office. When I called Mr. XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/2020 I wanted to tell him that after I removed XXXX software from my computer it appears that it loaded on my computer again without my permission. Moreover, when I attempted to remove it I could not do it. After I pressed the button " remove '' I got a message that the process will take place over a time and that " process '' has never been able to be completed but practically was suspended in time. Only on XX/XX/2020 I was able to remove that software from my computer although before final step I got a warning that I " have current subscription to their services '' which I did not care but pressed the button to remove that software. Moreover, it appears that my computer had initially security software provided by XXXX. On the same statement on which charge for XXXX appeared there was a charge for {$29.00} for XXXX which I also disputed and which was removed. that charge was actually a valid one. I, therefore, on my payment date of XX/XX/2020 will pay that charge along with the interest charged by Discover for not paying the XXXX charge. After that I will never use that card again unless the dispute is resolved in a fair manner by Discover.
