Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Subissue: Debt is not yours
Consumer Complaint: It is nice to have the account re-opened, however, the company did not allow me to remove an abundance of charges accumulated onto the account. They are waiting for some companies to respond. I do not mean to bug people, however, I would like to have my account payments reduced.I am not able to pay XXXX a month. I need to be placed into the Payment Protection Plan again. Discover accidentally charged me over {$2000.00} for XXXX charges since having the account. I never signed up for XXXX or any other additional services on my account. They tell me that they are only able to see statements from XX/XX/XXXX. They should monitor fradulent and faulty charges from XX/XX/XXXX- XX/XX/XXXX also. How are they able to say that I owe over {$5000.00}?, in charges, since XX/XX/XXXX. What if some of the other charges on the account are fraudulent. Then it is okay to say that I am not liable for a {$5000.00} credit card bill. My credit card balance should be cut into half due to the fradulent XXXX charges that I did not sign up for. Additionally, my payments should be lower.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Subissue: Account information incorrect
Consumer Complaint: I signed up for a credit card with Discover. As soon as I received the card I set up the online account and automatic payments of the minimum amount each month ( since there would be no charges, just using it to pay off one balance transfer ). On XX/XX/2019, I received an email saying the bank information I submitted for the automatic payments was accepted, and an email saying my first payment was scheduled. At this point I safely assumed the automatic payments were set up. On XX/XX/2019 I received an email saying that I had missed 3 payments. I checked my credit report and my credit score had gone down 200 points. Discover had decided to not accept my continuing automatic payments, however they did not send me any notice, by mail, email, or otherwise. I immediately signed into the online account and made the payment that was due. I then called Discover and informed them of what happened. Discover told me that there was nothing they could do, and that they do not edit their reporting of missed payments for any reason, even their own mistake. However, I did not miss any payments. Discover stopped my automatic payments without my consent or even knowledge. This may have been when my bank changed from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, but Discover will not give me a reason why they stopped the payments. Discover Bank has destroyed my credit due to their own actions and refuses to correct it. Every second my credit is reported incorrectly I suffer irreparable harm. Please help me correct this without having to take this to the circuit court!

Issue: Trouble using your card
Subissue: Credit card company won't increase or decrease your credit limit
Consumer Complaint: Very beginning of XX/XX/XXXXI paid off my Discover credit card, {$2800.00}, while on a mission to improve my credit score in preparation for buying a house. I had held a high balance for a long time but always made my payments while saving to pay off a good chunk. A few weeks laters,XX/XX/XXXXI received a letter stating my credit limit had been changed from {$3000.00} to {$500.00}. This rocked my credit score badly. Dropping me 30 points lower and wiping out my hard earned gains. When I contacted them, they said it was and automatic review based on numbers from my credit score. Which had gone up between 25-50 points due to paying off large portions of my debt. They stated some factors included an account that went to collections. I explained this was a medical bill that I never received. The week I saw the collection on my report, I paid it off in full. This was added to my report around XX/XX/2018and was paid off immediately. I asked the associate if they felt a collection of {$160.00} sounded like a good reason to remove {$2500.00} from a 2.5 year old account with no delinquency. The associate agreed that it did not seem fair but that they couldn't do anything to change the score until the next review. I asked if they could request a review on this and they stated no. My only choice was to initiate an credit line increase which would negatively impact my credit score. Another factor was the age of my credit. Which while still new, 3 years or so, was obviously better than any previous random review as I have not requested any new lines of credit in nearly two years.

Consumer Complaint: XX/XX/2019 XXXX XXXX XXXX responded to my complaint filed against them and Discover Card for wrongfully garnishing my {$1200.00} on XX/XX/2019. In their statetments, Discover instructed them to remove the levy and return all the money they took from me. The letter ends without providing any Information on how, when, and what way I can expect to get my money back from them in full. They provided only the front desk number and the name of the assigned attorney for me to contact, and the horrors continued. After 20 days and numerous attempts I made to reach XXXX about the money, I still have not received my money. The front desk staff refused to let me talk to him, refused to give him my messages, lied to me about his work schedule, closed down the office when they saw me coming. They have tried everything to avoid not paying me back. Please help me talk to these people. Thank you.

Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement
Subissue: Card was charged for something you did not purchase with the card
Consumer Complaint: An item was purchased on XX/XX/2019 for XXXX which showed on the credit card statement for {$10.00}. It showed as 2 separate charges for XXXX and XXXX. The product was delivered. No complaints. Recurring charges showed in XXXX and XXXX for {$170.00} and {$180.00}. The listing of the charges should have shown a toll free number where the subscription could be cancelled. I have no way to contact the company placing the charges. It was not made clear to me that this would be a subscription. Even so, contact information should always be given. A dispute has been filed but has not been resolved. The problem could easily and quickly be solved if contact information was provided with the charge. This should be a requirement for any subscription charge.
