Consumer Narrative
I applied for a credit card with Discover with a credit line of XXXX. My application had got approved. While waiting on my credit card, an agent from Discover emailed me in regards to submitting additional documentation in order to have access to my card. They asked for my bank statements and tax documents. Ive already sent them my bank statements, which is not required to fill out the application for the credit card. Discover asked for my consent to review my taxes. I dont consent to sending my tax documents simply because its not a requirement when applying for a credit card or after once youve been approved. And because Ive already sent them my bank statements. I feel that they are discriminating me due to my race & my XXXX orientation. Im XXXX. No one else I know has gone through this process or are going through this process. Had I known or was made aware at the beginning of the application process, or even after I got approved, that l was going to have send in additional documents to get my credit card, I would HAVE NEVER took the time out to apply for this card if I knew I was going to be hassled & discriminated against due to me being XXXX and XXXX. Theyve already ran my credit and now its a hard inquiry on my report. Which stays on my report for 2 years. Which also makes me feel like they are trying to sabotage my credit score. So Im still confused in regards to why they are still wanting additional documents. Its my right to deny Discover consent to look into my tax information. I called Discover and I even asked why they need this information and I was told by a supervisor that I couldnt get that information for security reasons. Which is even more confusing because how can you not give me information thats pertaining to my account. So I need someone to reach out to me ASAP, because I want to nip this in bud so that it wont happen to me or anyone else.
