Consumer Narrative
DISCOVER acct was fraudulently open in my name in XX/XX/2019. This occurred during the time of my identity being compromised. After discovery I contacted creditor to make aware of the fraud. I advised them of the identity theft. They then proceeded to close the card to prevent it from further use. At this time, I contacted the bureaus to have them aware of this. I put fraud alerts, froze my file, also contacted identity monitor along with filing law enforcement report, CFPB as well.I thought I was ok. Years passed, I realize its still reporting to my credit. DISCOVER BANK CARD DID NOT CLOSE MY ACCOUNT AS PER DISCUSSION, THEY CLOSED IT OFF AS A CHARGEOFF AS A BAD DEBT AS IF I WAS LIABLE FOR THESE CHARGES. THEY WERE AWARE OF FRAUD, ITS WHY THEY CLOSED CARD POST INITIAL INTERACTION. I AM COMPLAINING TO DISCOVER CARD AND XXXX, XXXX, XXXX BUREAUS SHOULD HAVE REMOVED IT DUE TO FRAUD. SHOULD DELETE, THIS IS FRAUD! DISCOVER IS FALSELY REPORTING ON MY CREDIT, ILLEGALLY FRAUD! DISCOVER acct was fraudulently open in my name in XX/XX/2019.
