Discover Credit Card Complaint

Identity theft / Fraud / Embezzlement

Discover Credit card department,

Identity theft / Fraud / Embezzlement Michigan

On -/-/15, my spouse, suddenly and unexpectedly, passed away. -/-/-, it was discovered that there was a Discover credit card in my name, ( wrong middle initial ). I immediately contacted Discover and was advised to submit a fraud claim. I had no knowledge of the card, no physical card, had never used the card. The only activity on the card were payments, as the credit was balance transfer. After several months of dispute, dozens of phone conversations, and mail communications with Discover, they continue to say that I am responsible. When I have asked about how the credit card was opened, I have received different responses, but have been told it does not matter. I truly had no knowledge of finances, in our home. I have been left with only my income, ( no life insurance, no pension or Soc Sec from my spouse ). I can not afford to pay off this bill, approximately $6700.00, that I had no knowledge of.
