Goldman Sachs Bank *** (the Bank) received the above-referenced complaint related to the ** Card via the Better Business Bureau (BBB) Complaint Portal on May 31, 2023. We appreciate the opportunity to address the concerns raised by ***************************** (the Customer) related to receiving statements, payments, and account closure.
The Bank conducted an investigation and confirmed no Bank error occurred. The Customers account transferred to the Bank from the previous financial institution in February 2022. The first documented correspondence with the Customer is a letter the Bank received on September 12,2022. A Bank representative attempted to contact the Customer but was unsuccessful.
The Customers account reflects two transactions in the amount of $7.99 from the merchant Shermanherald posted on July 14, and August 18, 2022. The merchant provided a credit for the July transaction on August 14,2022. The Bank received no payment for the amount due by September 19, 2022,resulting in a late fee of $7.99 and an interest charge of $0.12 on September 23, 2022.
The Customer contacted the Bank on October 3, 2022 to pay the balance in full, and to request that the account be closed. The Bank mailed an account closure confirmation letter. The following statement presented a trailing interest charge in the amount of $0.07 posted to the account on October *******. The Bank received a payment on November 6, 2023.
On May 5, 2023, the Bank applied a late fee credit in the amount of $7.99 as part of a larger account remediation.The resulting interest credit of $0.04 also posted to the account for a total credit of $8.03. The new credit balance on the account generated a statement that mailed to the Customer on May 24, 2023. The Bank processed a credit balance refund to the Customer via ACH to the bank account on file on June 6, 2023 and should be received within **** days. The Customer will receive a statement confirming the account balance is $0.00.

I have been contacting Apple card support for assistance with this for months and they keep offering the same solution that pauses interest for 1 month and that simply does not work for me or for helping Goldman Sachs recover funds, I have found myself in a situation where my husband switched jobs a few months ago and when he switched he went from being paid weekly to once a month and it is back pay so we found ourselves without a paycheck at all his first month there and only a small portion of a check the second month, we were not prepared for such a drastic change in income and had to use our apple card for miscellaneous bills and expenses during that time we got behind on our Apple card payments and I know for a fact this balance can not be paid in one lump sum in the foreseeable future because we are still playing catchup I am looking for a solution to getting it paid off without hurting my credit, and without Goldman Sachs having to take less money by selling to a debt collector I want to get ahead of thisBusiness Response

I enrolled in a $100 promotion and opened an account with this bank. I am qualified to receive the bonus and Marcus has not honored the bonus. They make all sort of excuses not to honor the promotions.Marcus has been extremely difficult from day 1. They have predatory business practices. They hold my fund and give me a hard time to access my fund. They lie to me over the phone for all sort of reasons. It's beyond imagination that this bank is legal in ******. I will certainly file a complain through CFPB and have all the documentation and even recording of the phone conversations I have had with their agents. At the moment, I have been saving for a house downpayment, and I need to access my fund, and dealing with Marcus has been frustrating because I may lose the house I have purchased. Marcus refuses to release my fund. First they say we have to verify your external account. These account were verified by Marcus numerous times. After they verified for the second or third times, they say I have less than 90 days relationship with them, which is again a lie (and also irrelevant). Then they say they cannot verify me because they cannot text me. (they were able to do so before). now the security team says they have changed the security rules and they don't know how to verify me. They promised to call me back to resolve my issues but they never do. I have to keep calling and going over the same issues over and over and hear lies.Business Response

**********************, a brand of Goldman Sachs Bank *** (the Bank), received the above referenced complaint via the Better Business Bureau Complaint Portal on May 26, 2023. The Bank appreciates the opportunity to address concerns raised by *********************************** (the Customer) related to the eligibility for a promotion for an ************** Account (OSA).
The Bank is offering a $100 bonus to OSA customers who enroll between January 18 to February 15, 2023. The promotion terms and conditions required customers to enroll in the promotion during the offer period; deposit $10,000 or more in new funds into an OSA within 10 days of enrollment and maintain at least $10,000 of the new funds, in addition to the existing account balance, for 90 consecutive days.
On February 13, 2023, the Customer enrolled in the promotion and funded their OSA with $10,000. On May 26, 2023, the Customer contacted the Bank inquiring about their promotion status, and the Bank identified a technical issue that caused the promotion status to fail. On May 30, 2023, the Bank informed the Customer that they have met all the promotion requirements. The Bank posted the $100 bonus on June 1, 2023.
Additionally,on May 18, 2023, the Customer initiated outgoing transfers from their OSA to two unverified accounts. The Bank identified security concerns with the unverified accounts. The Bank verified the Lake ******** ************ account; thus allowing the transfer to process. However, the Bank was not able to verify the ************* account; therefore, the Bank reversed the transfer, per the Banks Deposit Account Agreement. On May 19,2023, the Bank informed the Customer of the transfer reversal and advised that the remainder of their funds need to be transferred back to the funding account.
On May 22, 2023, the Customer initiated another outgoing transfer. The Bank reversed the transfer and restricted the account due to security concerns. On May 24, 2023, the Bank verified the Customer via phone and removed the restrictions. On May 26 2023, the Customer initiated an outgoing wire transfer that was processed on May 30, 2023.
Based on the above details, the Bank kindly requests that this complaint be closed.Customer Answer

I am rejecting this response because:Marcus intentionally locks your account under the ****** window excuse even if the account has been open for more than 90 days. I have recorded my conversations with them and they are full of contradictions. The lower level agent are genuinely trying to help but they have no actual authority. The higher up managers lie and intentionally cancel or delay the outgoing transactions while they have no problem with incoming funds. There will be lawsuits coming up they way. I have a load of proofs for my claims. In addition CFPB should be aware and will be informed of such predatory banking practices.

On April 4, 2023 I opened a $25,000 10-month CD at ****% interest by mistake. I called 10 minutes later to cancel the CD if there was no penalty. I was assured that there would be no penalty as it was within the timeframe to cancel. 10 days later, the CD was closed and I was charged $276.70. I called around April 14, and they apologized for the error and said it would be fixed in **** days. I called again on April 25, and they blamed someone else for checking the wrong box but said the funds would be restored in **** days. On May 8-9, I spent more than 1.5 hours on the phone. I was was assured that the CD would be restored and then I could close it with no penalty. Nothing happened again. I am on the phone again today, May 25, and they can't figure out what to do (reversing a penalty is apparently something they don't know how to do). Can you please help?Business Response

I have the titanium Apple Card issued by Goldman Sachs Bank ***, ************** Branch. I have never used the account. All my apple devices were destroyed by fire so I no longer have access to the apple wallet. I wrote two letters trying to get a hard credit card issued and never received a reply. 3 weeks ago I called ************** per the web site (****************************************) and after many questions on their end was told that a hard card would be issued and sent to me. Today, May 23rd, I called the number again and told the agent that I was concerned that my card did not arrive yet. She pretty much blew me off and refered me to the web site. I had to cut her off numerous times to explain that I called previously and she then put me on hold. She came back and stated that they don't issue the cards with phone calls even though I said I called before and referred me back to the web site. Again I stated I can't access the wallet and I need the card to purchase a apple product. She again stated use the web site. that was the end of the call. The web site has no capabilities to request a hard card without access to the apple wallet other than calling. I am at a loss as to what to do as it now has become a catch 22. Why would the agent tell me 3 weeks ago I would receive the card and now I can't get one on the phone. How do I get a hard card if I can't call and can't use the wallet?Business Response

The Bank conducted an investigation and confirmed a Bank representative provided the Customer with misinformation about being able to order a titanium Apple Card. Customers are able to apply online without an eligible device. To access and use all the features of Apple Card, the Customer must add Apple Card to Wallet on an iPhone or iPad with the latest version of iOS or iPadOS. This will also allow the Customer to manage their Apple Card on their device, request a titanium card, access the card number, and make purchases anywhere Mastercard is accepted. Otherwise, the Customer will only be able to use their Apple Line of Credit for certain eligible purchases online and in-store at Apple. The Customer is able to manage their account information online at card.apple.com if unable to view in Wallet. Additional details related to Apple Card eligibility requirements can be found in the Apple Card *********************************** regrets the frustrations the Customer experienced.

I am rejecting this response because: I appreciate the fact you state you made a mistake in telling me a card was on its way to me, but with that said, mistake or not, you should honor what I was told and that a card will be sent to me. I spent some time on the phone and with two agents and was ensured a card was on the way. Is it really that big a deal that I CAN'T get a card that you guys made the mistake of telling me was being shipped because I am not using the app? I would think you would send me the card and do additional training with you agents so that false promises are not made in the future.

The app for Marcus Goldman Sachs somehow turned my autopay off and charged me a late fee and then denied my request for a credit line increase. The dispute process has been circles for weeks now. I cant talk to anyone who can do anything. They were supposed to schedule a call back to me and failed to do so. Their specialists cut me off in the middle of speaking. This is the absolute worst customer service and support Ive ever dealt with. *** never missed a payment in my life, all my bills are on autopay and this is the only account thats giving me issues.

Goldman Sachs Bank *** (the Bank) received the above-referenced complaint related to the ** Card via the Better Business Bureau (BBB) Complaint Portal on May 23, 2023. We appreciate the opportunity to address the concerns raised by ********************* (the Customer) related to autopay, fees, credit limit increase request, and customer service experience.
The Bank conducted an investigation and confirmed an inadvertent system error occurred. When the Customer scheduled a one-time payment on September 8, 2022, it canceled the Customers autopay incorrectly due to an issue in the systems programming. To prevent this from happening in the future, the Bank advises the Customer to update to the latest version of the operating system. To remediate the Customer, the Bank will provide a credit for the late fee of $29.00 assessed on February 8, 2023 and fix the system of record to show the Customer as not missing the payment due date of February 5,2023.
According to the Banks records, the Customer applied for a credit limit increase on May 9, 2023, and May 23, 2023. The Bank carefully reviewed the Customers ** Card account history and any new credit bureau information received as part of servicing the account. The Bank was unable to approve the Customers credit limit increase request. Consequently, and in adherence with applicable law, the Bank sent the Customer emails on May 9, 2023, and May 23, 2023, respectively, detailing the reasons why the Bank could not approve the request. A Bank representative called the Customer on May 25, 2023 and explained why the credit limit increase was not approved. The Customer can request a credit limit increase review at any time however, the Bank recommends the Customer wait at least 90 days to allow time for the ** Card account history and credit history to update. The Customer may wish to contact the credit bureaus directly to validate and potentially dispute invalid information within the credit report. The Bank is unable to change past decisions, but once the previously mentioned fix is implemented the Customer may submit a new request. However, the Bank cannot guarantee a credit limit increase due to the multiple factors taken into consideration.
The Bank confirmed the credit reporting is correct and accurate. The Customer was reported current with no negative reporting. The Bank confirmed reporting is accurate as of the last furnishing. Due to the Bank's obligation to report accurately to credit reporting agencies, it is unable to update the reporting. The Bank regrets any frustrations the Customer experienced.
Based on the above details, we kindly request this complaint to be closed.

I am rejecting this response because: The decline of my credit limit increase explicitly outlined the delinquency which I was not at fault for. Further more, the account has been paid in full so a credit is not a satisfactory remedy. Ive held this card for nearly a decade and have never missed a payment. Marcus by Goldman Sachs poor customer service and faulty systems warrant more than a sorry and a useless credit.

When the Customer scheduled a one-time payment on September 8, 2022, it canceled the Customers autopay incorrectly due to an issue in the systems programming. This resulted in a missed payment for the due date of February 5, 2023, and a late fee to be assessed in the amount of $29.00. To prevent this from happening in the future, the Bank advises the Customer to update to the latest version of the operating system.To remediate the Customer, the Bank provided a credit in the amount of $34.00 and backdated it to February 4, 2023. This resulted in the late fee to be credited and partial interest credits for a total credit amount of $66.99.Additionally, the Bank confirmed the missed payment will not impact the Customers credit limit increase request if the Customer chooses to apply again.
According to the Banks records, the Customer applied for a credit limit increase on May 9, 2023, and May 23, 2023. The Bank carefully reviewed the Customers ** Card account history and any new credit bureau information received as part of servicing the account. The Bank was unable to approve the Customers credit limit increase request. Consequently, and in adherence with applicable law, the Bank sent the Customer emails on May 9, 2023, and May 23, 2023, respectively, detailing the reasons why the Bank could not approve the request. A Bank representative called the Customer on May 25, 2023 and explained why the credit limit increase was not approved. The Customer can request a credit limit increase review at any time however, the Bank recommends the Customer wait at least 90 days to allow time for the ** Card account history and credit history to update. The Customer may wish to contact the credit bureaus directly to validate and potentially dispute invalid information within the credit report. The Bank is unable to change past decisions, but the Customer may submit a new request. The Bank cannot guarantee a credit limit increase due to the multiple factors taken into consideration.
The Bank regrets any frustrations the Customer experienced.
Based on the above details, we kindly request this complaint to be closed.Customer Answer

I am rejecting this response because: Zero effort has been made to make up for your poor customer service or the inconvenience it caused. I also feel that you fabricated the 2nd denial letter because I was just approved by Lightstream for 18k and discover took less than 4 minutes to approve my credit line increase of $2500. Again, Ive had this card for nearly a decade with no issue, your company is just garbage.
Sincerely,

We did a wire transfer through Marcus on Friday 05/19/2023 to put our deposit $56,400 in the escrow account. the transfer was made through phone call, and no confirmation was provided. The funds have still not reached the intended recipient, causing significant inconvenience and potential financial loss. Today, we made several attempts to contact Marcus Savings to inquire about the status of the transfer. However, we got hung up on twice and encountered a representative who feigned an inability to hear us. After numerous attempts, we finally managed to speak with someone in the afternoon. It was at this point that we were informed about a required one-time pin to process the transfer, which we had already provided on Friday. This information was never communicated to us during previous conversations with multiple representatives who claimed the transaction had been completed on Friday night. After escalating to a supervisor named ********, we were disappointed to learn that the only action she could take was to make a note to expedite the transaction. We stress that the urgency of this situation cannot be overstated, as failure to receive the funds in a timely manner will result in the seller backing out of the transaction. This will not only cause a substantial financial setback but also damage our reputation as a reliable and trustworthy party. We require immediate action to expedite the transfer by contacting the person who works on wire transfers to ensure that the funds reach the escrow promptly.Business Response
