Consumer Narrative
I noticed 2 payments out of my bank account in large amounts after I made a payment to Discover. After examining my bank account, I did not authorize these payments. I contacted Discover, spoke with 6 people- one supervisor listened to calls and found it was fraud. A man called to make payments and the agent did not fully verify my account. She said the agent said well do you want to pay with account used last month. This is a no no - Agents need to follow protocol. The only person that attempted to help was XXXX in the Fraud Dept but said he would escalate the issue to Executive Complaints. He said it would take 2 to 3 days to receive my refund. Well it has been 6 days. People have rent/car payments and other things to pay and a Landlord will not wait. I contacted Executive Department and spoke with XXXX who suppose to be handling my complaint, all she did was repeat herself, no remorse, no apology for their negligence. This company has put me in a bad place with paying rent and maybe on the street. They don't show empathy - claims this is as far as you can go, well bull. I worked complaints for a huge corp and you have a 24 to 48 turnaround. Now if they know it was not me and it was fraud- continue investigating but put the persons money back in their bank account. I don't understand this. It seems like Discover is covering something up. Agents rude, supervisors transfer you all over. I was on the phone from XXXX to XXXX. This is just not right - we live in the XXXX and should treat people better and have a better method. I blame them for their incompetent 's employees who don't follow their training properly. I want compensated. I want a letter from them explaining all of this. My next step is to go to the Governor and then News channel if you guys can't get this resolved ASAP. They want their payments then I want my money back in my account so i can pay my bills. I have been a loyal customer to them and a good paying customer. So if they don't give a dog___how they treat their customers then i don't care going forward if they get paid. No wonder this country is in a mess, greed. Please help get this resolved. XXXX XXXX is the CEO of the company. Their phone number is XXXX. XXXX was no help at all. The guy I spoke with while she was at lunch at noon said to call her back at 3, well that is a long lunch break. He also told me what he can see no one has done anything with my complaint but she said she had it right there working on it. It is not her money or her company- she acts like she don't care. wonder if it was her. she needs to work and stop sitting around talking and snaking. I want the CEO to contact me.
