Discover Credit Card Complaint

Identity theft / Fraud / Embezzlement

Discover Credit card department,

Identity theft / Fraud / Embezzlement California

My Discover Card was used fraudulently. I reported the charge I did not recognize. Seven days later I received a message that my new card had been mailed, however the address was incorrect. I called Discover and they informed me that someone had changed the address within the seven days since the fraudulent charge. Why was someone allowed access to change an address during a fraud dispute? Why was the card mailed without my verification of the correct address? In addition, when I called Discover their Customer Service did n't seem to verify my identity and a Fraud Specialist by the name of - offered to reset my online password. A human accepts my password?? I did n't reset it. It seems that Discover has serious flaws in their security procedures. As usual with large institutions, the public can not speak to an executive. I am not asking for any action specific to my issue. I just want someone from CFPB to inform Discover that their security procedures need a strong review.
