Discover Credit Card Complaint

Discover Credit card department,

Customer service / Customer relations California

I have a Credit Card Account with Discover, ending in -. I have been with Discover for over half a decade, without any issue, until -/-/2016. My Discover Credit Card ending in - was compromised and some unauthorized charges occurred, which I reported promptly. The Card was closed, and an investigation was initiated. After the completion of the Fraud Investigation, a new Account was set up, transferring my credit and balances ; and I was contacted by the Customer Protection Team. I was prompted to set up a verbal password for my account, which I did. Since then, everything seems normal, as I never attempted to use the card.


Institution. Everyday since I had started using my Card, I have had to call Discover Customer Service everytime, because there is always a hold or a security flag on my Card, whenever I try to use it. My card never worked at the ATM for Cash Advance, I was told to go into the Bank and process a Cash Advance over the Counter, it still declined ; even when inputted manually. My card got declined from virtually everywhere ; gas stations, -, -, restaurants, etc. It never worked. I was told not to use my card for 24-48 hours, so as to let the system cool off/get used to my account, because the transacions were fresh. I stopped using my card, and after few days, on Monday, I attempted to use my card, it worked. I tried ATM access, it declined. I called customer service, I was told that my last transaction of $61.00 at - flagged the card. I was asked to try it again at the ATM, it declined. And I was advised again, to let it cool off and not use it for cash access, only purchases. Irrespective of the fact that I have gone through a lot with Discover, I explained I was doing - shopping for my family and I was assured that everything should be fine with purchases. For some weird reason, whenever I call Discover and give them my verbal password, I was told it was incorrect. Mind you, this is the same verbal password I have had, never changed it. My card is blocked at the moment, and I was told to send in some documents. I have sent my Driver 's License, SSN Card, Rent Lease and copy of my Discover card to the fax number provided to me, - twice and I am yet to hear back from Discover. It just saddens me that when someone else fraudulently used my card, Discover did n't play any of these games, to protect me ; but when I, the actual Cardholder wants to use my Card, its either a hold or a flag or something. Which makes me ask the question : should the Government and Regulators of Financial Institutions allow customers to suffer in the hands of Banks and other financial Institutions? Discover has records and notes of every call a Customer makes. Someone should go through my account notes and they will understand my frustration ; as this could have effect on my Cedit Reporting!
