I’m looking to Sue Discover Card for a Big mistake they made. Ok this is what happened. I applied for a Discover Card and actually received it but the problem is that I found out that it was actually under my brother’s account. We both have the same first name and the last name. Discover said that I somehow screwed up when I entered the social security number. I know I entered the correct social security number, birth date etc. I want to sue Discover Card for lying to me and for making a mistake that affects my brother’s and my credit history. Any suggestion on how to find a lawyer that can handle a Big case like this?
Thanks for your suggestions.

The mistake won't affect anyone's credit. If your brother already had an account with Discover, then this card was probably attached to that account. Unless you made charges that put him over his limit, he suffered no damages. The only harm to you would have been if you used the card and paid it back, so that wouldn't appear on your credit report. Perhaps Discover can issue you a card and transfer the transitions over to your card. But no, there's nothing to sue over here.

Granted if they made a mistake they should definitely pay to fix it, - you should ask for a copy of your application to prove you put the correct SS# down and birth date.. regardless- other than them paying for any problems that occurred.. why would you sue them.. what happened to your and your brother that was so devastating, or irreversible that it is worth thousands or millions.. Basically you would be suing for......... what reasons-other than to line your own pocket- but I do think if there were financial problems they should pay to fix that.. but if you ruined your brother's credit.. that is something that only you can fix

Um, you have no case. Have your brother ask Discover to close the account. That's it. There is no legal remedy here, his credit history has not been damaged. I can't even see why you would think that.

Why do you & your brother have the same exact name?

You don't have a case.
