I request Goldman Sachs to stop charging interest to my Apple credit card and reverse the accumulative interest of $16.30 incurred between 10/5/2024 and now. After they reversed the interest on 10/5/2024, Goldman Sachs kept charging interest to my Apple credit card. The reversed interest, as well as the interest that continued to incur, is associated with the purchase of an ***** product. I purchased the ***** product using the Apple credit card after being informed by an employee at the Apple store that no interest would incur if the Apple credit card was used for the purchase. Goldman Sachs explains that the interest was incurred for the sales tax and not the purchase. This detailed information was not provided to me at the time of purchase. Besides, not charging interest for the purchase and at the same time charging interest for the sales tax is downright foul.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 April 10, 2025. ******** appreciates the opportunity to address the concerns raised by ****** *** (the Customer) related to interest assessed on an Apple Card account.
******** conducted an investigation and confirmed no Bank error occurred. Apple Card Monthly Installments (ACMI) is a payment option available in the **** to Apple Card Customers that allows the cardholder the ability to purchase certain ***** products from ***** at 0% Variable Annual Percentage Rate. Transactions that do not qualify for Apple Card Monthly Installments are applied to the account as a standard transaction subject to the Variable Annual Percentage Rate assigned to the Apple Card.
According to the Banks records, the Customer made a purchase on ********* in the amount of $1,349.00. The Customer did not use Apple Card Monthly Installments (ACMI) for this purchase. As a result, the device amount was applied to the account as a standard transaction subject to the variable APR assigned to the Apple Card. The Customer contacted the Bank on October 5, 2024, and requested to convert the amount of $1,349.00 to Apple Card Monthly Installments. ******** confirmed the device was successfully converted to Apple Card Monthly Installments at 0% interest and a credit in the amount of $23.68 was applied to the account for the charged interest.
To avoid interest charges, customers are required to pay the monthly balance in full as of the end of the previous month by the due date every month. If the monthly balance is not paid in full on or before the due date, customers are charged interest on the monthly balance for the days until the customer fully pays it off. This is also known as trailing interest. Additional details regarding how the Bank calculates interest can be found in the Apple Card Customer Agreement. According to the Banks records, the Customer did not pay the monthly balance in full by the due date for the transactions applied to the account as a standard transaction that are subject to the Variable Annual Percentage Rate assigned to the Apple Card. As a result, interest was assessed on the account.
Additionally, the Bank conducted a review of interactions and was unable to locate any record of mistreatment or misinformation provided by a Bank representative. The Customer is responsible for the interest charged on the account.
Based on the above details, the Bank kindly requests for this complaint to be closed.Customer Answer

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:The bank claims that **** needed to be used for the 0% interest rate to be applied for the purchase of an ***** product using the Apple credit card. A *** at an *********** in *************, **, promoted the Apple Card. No information about **** was disclosed at the time of promotion. The *** simply informed that no interest would be applied for ***** product pruchase using the card. No information about **** was disclosed at the time of at the time of the purchase either. A *** at ***** Store promoted the Apple credit card. I acted based on the information given to me at the time of promotion and made the purchase. A *** at the Apple Store promoted the Apple Credit card issued by the bank. I even asked the sales *** at the ***** store at the time of purchase whether 0% interest would be applied to the ***** product purchase made by using the Apple credit card. I was affirmed that no interest would be applied. The bank should not apply interest charges to me for making a purchase by acting on the information that was provided to me.

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 makes it sound like this complaint is about a bank error. This complaint is not about bank error. This complaint is about informing the customer that no interest will be charged to the purchase of an apple product, and charging interest to the tax associated with the purchase without disclosing that the interest will be charged to the tax associated with the purchase.

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:The business claims in their "response" to have mailed the requested information to me on two separate occasions. I have never received any mail or other response from them. I gave them my mailing address in both of the letters which I mailed to them. I don't know where they actually mailed whatever they claim to have mailed, but I have received no information or other response from them at any time. Lifelock and I have placed several conference calls to the business to request information, and each time the representative of the business stated that she had no information and no access to information about this claim.

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me and the matter has been resolved.However, I would like to point out that the response misrepresents to BBB some relevant facts. The business states that they received the information from me between "November 2024 and April 24, 2025." In fact, they received all of that information from me at one time in the second half of November 2024, and they failed to respond to repeated phone calls and a second letter from me in December 2024 through April 2025. The business never provided any response of any kind until April 30, 2025, six days after their response to BBB, when they hastily sent me by overnight delivery the documents we had been requesting repeatedly since November 2024. This is not a reasonable way to conduct their business. Thank you, BBB, for intervening.

On 2/7/23 someone had attempted to use my Apple Card to purchase tickets to ***** as well as book a Air B&B. I immediately saw the charge come through and reported it as fraud. If you look at the Expedia transactions they were stopped. The $267.78 I have disputed 27 times. I have been getting the run around from multiple "supervisors" who tell me they sympathize with my situation and will do everything they can for me. I have asked for managers, and was blatantly told that the "back end" was working through the issue. I have asked for the documentation from ******* as to WHY the other charges were credited back but this one was not. They keep saying "they are investigating" but than always put the charge back on. I have proved identity fraud with three other credit cards on the same day and they were all taken care of. I have been given the run around by grossly incompetant staff and supervisors who pacify me and have told me they have filed a complaint on my behalf. I truly didn't know where to go until I googled, and the BBB came up as a solution. I have provided notarized statements, proof beyond what I should have and STILL they always favor against me. I am NOT - REFUSE to pay for blatant fraud. As soon as I saw these charges, I contacted Goldman Sachs and Expedia and alerted them that my identity was stolen and that these charges were not being made by me. Why this $267.78 cannot be closed is beyond my comprehension. They are rude now when I contact them and say "well this has been asserted 27 times." Your darn right it has - why should I pay for something that was not made or even enjoyed by me. The people at Goldman Sachs handling disputes are grossly inept and incompetant. I refuse to pay this debt and because it is no longer a provisional credit, I am accruing interest on it. Please help me to get this dispute finalized in my favor. They have the proof for over 2 years and it the principle of the matter. They treat people poorly.Business Response

To: Better Business Bureau Subject: Formal Complaint Unlawful Credit Reporting ******************* to Remove Charge-Off Dear BBB Dispute Resolution Team,I am filing this complaint against Goldman Sachs Bank USA for its repeated violations of federal consumer protection laws, including the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) and IRS regulations governing debt forgiveness.

I have an Apple credit card through Goldman Sachs. I made a purchase in November of 2024 and the seller sent me items that were not as described. I mailed them back to the seller and opened a claim with Goldman sachs. I provided all the necessary documentation including proof of delivery of returned items. It has been 5 months and Goldman sachs is not refunding my funds to the card and making me fight tooth and nail to get my money back. It has been ongoing and no resolution.Business Response
