We used to be so happy with Discover…
We used to be so happy with Discover customer service. My wife sang their praises for years and years - until tonight. My parents call me by my middle name and always have given me checks using that name. I also receive checks using my initials and using my full name (especially from insurance and the government). Discover never has had a problem depositing these checks. I have plenty of evidence of that - checks deposited for many years. (I always endorse them the same way.) All of a sudden, Discover has decided they won't deposit checks that don't match my name exactly as it appears on the account - like somehow I can control how checks are issued. That is beyond stupid. Maybe this is something new because of the merger with Capital One. Whatever the reason, it's terrible customer service and is making us think seriously about switching banks. They rejected a large check we deposited over the weekend, and the only way we found out is because my father told me it hadn't cleared his account. We were counting on that money. Yes, it would have had a hold, but now we're going to wait at least 5 days longer because we have to take the check to another bank. Discover - you've REALLY, REALLY disappointed us and for no good reason.
