Consumer Narrative
Previously, I had made payments online with Discover. My payment history demonstrates this. Two months ago, I went to make a payment and the system asked me to re-enroll my account. I did, and was still unable to make a payment. Unfortunately, I was out of the country and did not have access to a phone, simply internet. The payment went past due. I sent a check, they apparently also didn't receive it. Now my account is past due 60 days on my credit, I went to go make a payment this morning online and was unable to do so. They asked to re-enroll my account, so I submitted my banking information again AND it would still not allow me to make an online payment. I had to call ( thankfully I had cellular availability ). I was advised by XXXX in Ohio on XX/XX/2022 ( she would not provide any identifier to me ) that their online system has been having trouble with payments. We proceeded to do a payment online. However, she would not work with me on the inaccurate information that was now reporting on my credit bureau. Had there not been any online problem with their payment system, I would not have been late. It is that simple. It is also telling that I didn't need to re-enroll or provide any payment information to the agent on the phone- discover already had it ; due to their error, I have been unable to make payments.
