Discover Credit Card Complaint

Unsolicited issuance of credit card

Discover Credit card department,

Unsolicited issuance of credit card Illinois

Yesterday -/-/-/-/2015 I applied for a Credit Card via an offer from Discover Card through Credit Karma. When I submitted my information I was then told I do not qualify for the Discover Card I applied for and a - card offer was made. This - offer of lower interest ( BASED ON MY CREDIT SCORE ) was used a BAIT to get me to fill out the paperwork. Once I completed the paperwork another page popped up asking me to send copies of personal data such as SSN and or Current bills. I was not comfortable providing this information largely since the app did not work and all other credit cards I have can provide approval in - seconds based on information contained in my - -. I called Discover Card and asked them if they were the actual Credit Card or was this scam, the whole thing was a bit fishy. I learned the Discover Card had no idea that they are soliciting new customers using bait and switch tactics on Credit Karma indicating they do not communicate internally ''. I demanded that this process be cancelled and my credit hit be removed to protect my score. Today I get an email indicating the account was still being processed against my will. I called and spoke to - Senior Agent in Delaware at phone number - regarding application -. I also demanded that she terminate the application and remove the credit hit sine this whole process was unfair and dirty BAIT AND SWITCH tactics. I told her I do not need the card with HIGHER INTEREST and I will not tolerate this treatment.
