Discover Credit Card Complaint

Discover Credit card department,

Louisiana

I had a secured Discover IT card, and I fell behind with payments due to education expenses. My account was closed and permanently revoked in -, and this was not something I was aware of. I reached out on - -, 2016 by a message, and I asked if I made a full payment would it enable me to have spending privileges again. I was hasty, and I initiated a live chat with an Account Manager. We had an extensive chat, and in the end, I ended up making a payment for the full balance. Well, during this chat, this manager did n't say anything about my account being essentially inactive. I scheduled the payment for - -, 2016. I received a response on - -, 2016 informing me that my account was revoked and closed. I immediately sent a message and asked them to stop the payment having been told of that new information. To this day, I have not received a response to that message. I finally decided - hours had passed, so I reached out to a live agent and asked for the payment to be reversed on - -, 2016. She told me that it would


I did n't let it rest. Since - -, I have been fighting constantly. I reached out to the -, and about an hour ago, I rejected Discover 's decision and issued a rebuttal. Discover has given me the runaround tirelessly for almost three months. I have talked to Account Managers, Supervisors, and this - person who was a representative of the - division. It went from a 15 day refund to talking to the bank wire department to everything in between. I even offered to allow them to a portion to show good faith. They rejected that citing company policy and my payment history. At any rate, this payment was made without having all of the facts. I do n't know if the agent assumed that I knew my account was revoked or what, but all I wanted to do was get back on track. I 'm a college student, and I do n't have a lot of money or a cushion so to speak. $5500.00 tuition every - weeks and the cost of supplies for school means my money is low. I was trying to do the right thing, but I would have preferred to pay the balance down overtime. I 've been more than patient. I realize my payment history was n't as strong as it could have been but work with me not rail against me and make me pay for a miscommunication. It 's bad enough that I asked 24 hours after the payment was scheduled to be taken for someone to please stop it and no one responded. It was a gross error and a huge mistake. One that I have been fighting hard to amend since - -, 2016.
