After being laid off I put my severance and 401k funds in 4 different 6 month certificate of deposit accounts with ****** **********************. When they reached maturity in December 2024, *** locked down my account and would not provide any explanation or estimated date to return my money to the funding account. After calling repeatedly and sending a certified letter I was told in March 2025 that the security issue was resolved, I can login online, and that my funds would be returned to me within a week, and to call back if the funds did not appear by the following Thursday. Since them I have called and called, and only got one CD account closed and funds received in the month of March. Now, halfway through April and over 4 months after the maturity date of the remaining 3 CD accounts, I cannot get an answer on when they will honor their agreement. **************** repeatedly tells me that the accounts are "in the process of closing." While the customer service **** are courteous and I appreciate that, they are powerless to help anyone. They schedule "call backs" from supervisors that never occur. I kept these funds out of the stock market because I need them. ***' dishonest business practices are causing a real financial hardship for me and my family. Please help me get them to honor our agreement and return the funds I should have received in December 2024, over a quarter of a year ago.Business Response

Marcus by Goldman Sachs, a brand of Goldman Sachs Bank USA (the Bank), received the above-referenced complaint via the Better Business Bureau Complaint Portal on April 29, 2025. The Bank appreciates the opportunity to address the concerns raised by **** ****** (the "Customer) related to the closure of their Certificate of Deposits (CD).
On June 18, 2024, the Bank conducted an account maintenance review, identified security concerns regarding the Customers profile, and attempted unsuccessfully to contact the Customer to address the concerns. Consequently, the Bank restricted the Customers accounts until the security concerns could be resolved. Due to the identified security concerns, the Bank could not close the Customers CDs upon maturity until the security concerns could be resolved.
On December 29, 2024, the Customer contacted the Bank regarding their CDs and a Bank specialist informed the Customer that the Bank had made a business decision to close the Customers CDs. Between December 30, 2024 and February 14, 2025, the Customer contacted the Bank regarding the status of their CDs, however, the Customers account remained under review due to the outstanding security concerns.
After further review, on March ******, the Bank determined the decision to close the CDs had been made in error.On March 11, 2025, the Customer contacted the Bank and the Bank specialist successfully authenticated the Customer. During this call, the Customer requested to close one of the four CDs (account ending in ****) with funds transferring to an external account, and the Bank specialist assisted the Customer with the closure. However, the Bank specialist did not assist the Customer in closing the remaining CDs. Consequently, the Bank experienced a delay in closing the Customers remaining CDs (accounts ending in ***** ****, and ****).
On April 29, 2025, the Customer contacted the Bank and requested to close their remaining CDs with funds transferring to an external account. On April 30, 2025 and May 5, 2025, the Bank successfully processed the Customers request.
Based on the above details, the Bank kindly requests this complaint to be closed.Initial Complaint

I am writing in hopes of resolving a debt I currently owe, totaling $4,939.46. Of this amount, approximately $1,000 is interest. I am seeking to settle this debt in the amount of $3,000, which I can pay in a lump sum, to close the account in full.On February 21, 2025, I contacted Goldman Sachs regarding my credit card account to discuss a possible settlement. Unfortunately, they were unwilling to assist me in coming to a resolution. I explained that I had fallen into financial hardship, having lost my job and used the credit card to pay for essential living expenses, including rent, in order to avoid homelessness.Despite these challenges, I am now in a position to begin resolving this matter and would like to do so in good faith. I respectfully request that Goldman Sachs reconsider and accept the $3,000 settlement so I can close this account before my upcoming medical surgery scheduled for April 22, 2025.I am committed to resolving this matter and would appreciate any assistance the Better Business Bureau can provide in helping facilitate this request.Sincerely,****** ****** **********************Business Response

Formal Complaint Regarding Apple Card Dispute Process and Support Incompetence This has been one of the most frustrating and incompetent support experiences Ive ever had. I attempted to file a basic dispute through ***** Support and submitted all evidence, yet **** continuously asked questions that made it clear they either didnt read or simply couldnt comprehend the situation.I was ***eatedly asked if I contacted the financial institutionwhich is Goldman Sachs via the Apple Card app. Why would I contact anyone else? Ive never had a direct line to Goldman Sachs, only this support channel. Every *** gave different instructions, and I was transferred four times. Each claimed they could help, only to escalate or ***eat the same basic, unhelpful steps.I was told a senior advisor would reach out in 510 mins. Instead, they called almost instantly while my phone was on Do Not Disturb. That doesnt help, it just shows youre checking a box.The dispute itself stems from a bait-and-switch situation involving delivery fees and shipping timelines. The merchant gave conflicting information and refused to refund me. I dont trust them, and Im well within my right to escalate.But instead of actual help, I got confusion, poor communication, and blatant incompetence. Its exhausting and completely unacceptable.This needs to be escalated. I want this complaint reviewed by leadership or the executive response team, and I want the chat transcripts and call recordings pulled. Someone needs to be held accountable because this was absolutely unacceptable.Business Response

Started in June 2024 my daughter's Apple card account via ********************** was hacked and her account was restricted (all the details are in the attachment). After several months with no luck gaining access to the card she closed the account on November 28, 2024. On January 31 2025 she received a statement that she owed charges on her account. Most of these charges were not hers and the ones that were ended up being automated charges that Goldman Sachs allowed on a closed account. On February 7th she went line item by line item with the ****************** at Goldman Sachs. She paid the automated charges that were hers and Goldman Sachs said they would cancel all other charges and close the account again for real this time! March 30, 2025 she received another email notification (remember she has no card and she has no ***** Cash account it has been closed) saying she owed money on the account. Again she spoke to the ******************* they said they would credit it. Two days later she gets a call from Goldman Sachs about doing a payment plan. I am not making this up they want her to pay whatever the hacker charged on her account. Now they are actually adding interest and all she can see again is these notifications sent to her email account. I have seen hundreds of emails saying the same issue with the Apple card and Goldman Sachs. It seems a monetary fine isn't enough to stop them from fraudulent practices. I assume a class action lawsuit needs to be started because this is unheard of and I have never dealt with such an unprofessional group. After being on the phone for more than an hour the Goldman Sachs employee hung up on us that was the second time they did. Very disgusting and frustrating.Business Response

In May of 2024, I purchased an iPad and an Apple Pencil using my Apple Card by Goldman Sachs. I returned both of these items. I was credited back for the iPad, but not the Apple Pencil. This was only brought to my attention several months later when I was told by my bank that my credit score was not good enough to re-finance my auto loan. As it turns out, I was indeed never refunded for the Apple Pencil. As it stands today, 4/11/2025, this issue it still not resolved nearly a year later. ***** Card has disrespected me, my money, and my time, at every turn. My credit has been harmed, I have been lied to over and over again by this company.

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:This response from the business, while typical, is unsatisfactory to me. It also is in direct opposition to what the Goldman Sachs representative told me on the phone before I submitted this complaint.
Goldman Sachs has NOT looked into it, and HAS made a mistake. Probably one or two days prior to submitting this complaint, I called a Goldman Sachs ***** Card specialist to yet again try and resolve this matter. This representative told me that I was charged an extra $79. Earlier in the year, in January, I was told by an agent that this was resolved, my credit would be repaired, and that I would owe no more money. ****! Nothing happened, and I am still being charged.
I understand the boilerplate response of 'we have looked into it, and there was no error.' However, this is untrue and unacceptable, particularly when I was told differently by multiple specialists. She told me specifically that she would notate it in my file. Has anything happened? Was she actually taking notes? Do the words of your specialists actually mean anything? The cavalier nature with which Goldman Sachs operates is disappointing, particularly because these types of mistakes directly affect people's credit scores and lives.
The only acceptable response here is a refund of my $79 and an immediate resolution to the credit report error.
Sincerely,
******* ******

I am submitting this complaint because my credit report includes accounts I do not recognize and never authorized. These accounts appear to be the result of either a reporting error or a potential breach of my personal informationboth of which are unacceptable and violate my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA).The following accounts require immediate and thorough verification:Company Name: *********** Account Number: ************ Reported Balance: $3,384.00 Despite multiple requests, I have not received any credible proof that these accounts are mine. Under 15 U.S.C. 1681g, I am entitled to full disclosure, including copies of original account applications and signed agreements. General claims of verification without proper documentation are not acceptable.If these documents do not exist, these accounts must be removed under FCRA Section 611(a)(5)(A)(i), which mandates deletion of unverifiable data. I will also be reporting this issue to the Better Business Bureau and appropriate federal agencies if this is not resolved immediately.Business Response
