1/19/25: I purchased a ticket from Sundance Film Festival for $36.58 and I received a Daily Cash reward from Apple Card of .73 cents. I disputed and received a provisional credit on 1/31/25 of $36.58 AND they charged me back for the .73 cents (which makes sense they would). Then on 2/1/25, Sundance refunded the $36.58 and right underneath it Apple charged me a .37 cent THAT WAS NEVER REWARDED TO ME. It is not deposited into my Daily Cash or credited anywhere in my Apple Card statements. I need this transaction removed. I thought this was resolved as they had credited my account. But they just charged it back to me. Whoever is investigating this is not looking at the evidence. I will not be paying this. I have been hung up on and told by supervisors that they see the glitch as well. This is affecting my wellbeing and my health..Business Response

Goldman Sachs Bank USA (the Bank) received the above-referenced complaint related to the Apple Card via the Better Business Bureau (BBB) Complaint Portal on May 09, 2025. ******** appreciates the opportunity to address the concerns raised by ***** **** (the Customer)related to a Daily Cash Adjustment in the amount of $0.37.
******** conducted an investigation and confirmed no Bank error occurred. ********s records indicate the transaction in the amount of $36.58 posted to the account on January 19, 2025 and had originally earned a Daily Cash at 2% in the amount of $0.73. The Customer disputed the transaction on January 31, 2025. ******** applied a temporary credit while the dispute was investigated. Based on the investigation and a review of the evidence provided, the Bank resolved the dispute in favor of the Customer. As a result, the temporary credit that was applied to the Customers account was made permanent on February 03, 2025. On February 02, ************************************************************************* the amount of $36.58. Based on the refund, a Daily Cash Adjustment billed back to the account at 1% in the amount of $0.37.
When the dispute credit became permanent on February 03, 2025, a Daily Cash Adjustment billed back to the account at the original 2% earned in the amount of $0.73. As a result of the Daily Cash Adjustment already being billed back to the account after the transaction dispute resolved, the Bank applied a credit in the amount of $0.37 to the Customers account on May 15, 2025 for the Daily Cash Adjustment billed to the account after the posted merchant return credit.

Subject: Formal Complaint Goldman Sachs Refuses to Remove Fraudulent Apple Card Account I am filing a formal complaint against Goldman Sachs Bank (Apple Card issuer) for failing to remove a fraudulent account from my credit report, despite receiving all documentation required by federal law. The account in questionApple Card #******XXXXXXXXXXwas opened without my knowledge due to identity theft.Goldman Sachs has been provided with the following: A signed dispute letter Government-issued ************************************* report Notarized identity theft affidavit These documents meet the requirements of the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), Section 1681c-2, which mandates that data furnishers block and delete identity theft-related accounts when provided with valid proof. Despite this, the fraudulent Apple Card account remains attached to my credit profile and is still being reported to Experian.This failure has caused severe damage to my credit score, denied me access to housing, and created emotional and financial hardship. Goldman Sachs has not offered any explanation, resolution, or confirmation of removal. Their inaction violates federal law and demonstrates a disregard for consumer protections.Requested Resolution: Immediate and permanent deletion of the fraudulent Apple Card account from all credit bureaus Written confirmation that the account has been detached from my name and will not be re-reported An explanation of why the account was not removed despite full compliance with FCRA documentation standards If Goldman Sachs continues to ignore this matter, I am prepared to escalate the issue through regulatory and legal channels.If Goldman Sachs does not comply, I am prepared to escalate this matter through federal enforcement and legal channels.Business Response

Better Business Bureau:
I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# ********, and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:
Goldman Sachs ******** has failed to provide legally sufficient verification of the debt as required under federal law. I submitted an FTC Identity Theft Report, police report, and supporting documentation proving I am a victim of identity theft under 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2. They have not fulfilled their obligation to block the account nor cease reporting it to the credit bureaus as required by law.
Additionally, the bank continues to update this fraudulent account monthly as delinquenteven after charging it off and claiming a lossdespite my written request for a 1099-C and full investigation documentation, which they never provided. This violates 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 (duties of furnishers) and 1681e(b) (accuracy of reporting).
Their investigation is not transparent and fails to address the identity theft evidence provided. Without proper debt validation, without honoring my rights under federal law, and without removing the fraudulent account, this issue is far from resolved.
Sincerely,
******* ********Customer Answer

Better Business Bureau:
I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# ********, and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:I reject Goldman Sachs' response and remain fully dissatisfied with their position.
The Apple Card account in question was opened without my knowledge or consent as a result of identity theft, which I have fully documented. Goldman Sachs has received all required documentation under FCRA 1681c-2, including:
A signed dispute letter
A copy of my government-issued ID
A police report
An FTC Identity Theft Report
A notarized identity theft affidavit
These materials meet the legal standard for a data furnisher to block and delete fraudulent information from consumer credit files. Despite this, Goldman Sachs continues to report this account to Experian and insists I am liable without providing any forensic evidence proving I opened or used the account.
Their refusal to delete the account is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, specifically 1681c-2(a) and 1681s-2(a)(6), which prohibit furnishers from reporting known identity theft information after being provided with appropriate documentation. Their claim of no bank error is legally irrelevant when identity theft has been established by law enforcement and federal identity theft agencies.
If this matter is not resolved, I will be pursuing legal and regulatory action, including a formal complaint to the ****, and am prepared to initiate federal litigation for damages under 15 U.S.C. 1681n and 1681o for willful and negligent noncompliance.
Sincerely,

I was scammed by ********** Group out of $10,000 for services that they never provided. I was also given a money back guarantee by ********** Group in email after which time they hid terms and conditions stating otherwise. I was given a second money back guarantee in email after the terms and conditions review and signature and then ********** used those terms to refuse a refund and the Goldman Sachs Apple card dispute resolution team sided with the merchant in spite of overwhelming evidence that the services were not provided and the merchant did not honor their guarantee of the refund.Business Response

Im a victim of identity theft and there is a fraudulent account that is reporting on my credit file with APPLE CARD-************ account# ****, balance $10.00. I did not open or authorize this account, and I therefore request that it be closed immediately. I have neither engaged in business transactions with this company nor entered into any agreements.

As a furnisher, upon receipt of a consumers written request that encloses an Identity Theft Report, you are required to cease furnishing the information resulting from identity theft to any ***. The Notice also specifies your responsibilities when you receive notice from a ***, under section 605B of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, that information you provided to the *** may be the result of identity theft. Those responsibilities include ceasing to provide the inaccurate information to any **** and ensuring that you do not attempt to sell or transfer the fraudulent debts to another party for collection. Enclosed is a copy of my Identity Theft Report supporting my position and cfpb notice to furnishers.

On April 06, 2025 I called Apple Goldman Sachs and spoke with a gentleman who
stated he worked in the fraud department. He stated that their department had received
the identity theft claim and investigated the fraud claim He stated that the account was
closed as fraud and taken out of my name. He verified the address on the account
which was (*********************************************************) which is a fradulent address. He said the application was applied through a mobile app
with a phone number that is located in ******* that is a fraudulent phone number. He also verified
an email address: ************************** that is not my email addressl. The
(address, phone number, and email address are fraudulent and they DO NOT belong to
me). He also verified that they DO NOT have a signature on file for the application that
was used for this fraudulent account. I was informed that this account was processed in their system under fraudulent information and THEY DO NOT HAVE A SIGNATURE ON FILE for this account opening. I called the fraud **** again on 5-17-2025 and was informed that the bank sent the validation letter to the fraudulent address that is on file with this account at (*********************************************************). This bank didn't call me on 5-19-2025 and are trying to contact me from the FRAUDULENT INFORMATION that is on this fraud account. Apple card goldman sachs are violating my rights per the fair credit reporting act. They received a validate ftc identity theft report and a valid police report that they have disregarded which is against federal law. As a furnisher, upon receipt of a consumers written request that encloses an Identity Theft Report, you are required to cease furnishing the information resulting from identity theft to any ***.

Please provide these documents in your response to this letter.I respectfully ask that you do not reply with a generic statement claiming the accounts have been verified.
