      I have two disputes that have been ongoing for OVER a year now with Goldman Sachs. I have spoken with a plethora of managers regarding both disputes and provided supporting documentation. Budget: $75.00 AliExpress: $115.48 For Budget I was charged a "no show fee" of $75.00, I contacted Budget they said they never charged me this fee and sent me an invoice showing the fee was never charged. I had a budget rental from 1/3/24-1/6/24. I wasn't a no show I showed up. I spoke with managers at Goldman Sachs and they agreed I was correct. I have had this dispute reopened over 10 times at this point, and each time its "resolved" Goldman Sachs says, "there was no evidence provided" and I have text messages, and emails from when I sent the proof, and I was told on the phone the proof was received as well, and that I am correct.Ali express: I ordered a hair piece wig for my sister in law that was battling cancer at the time and recieved a completely different item than advertised. The wig was synthetic, not human, I have contacted ********** several times and given ********** is located in ***** so their response very vague and unhelpful. I provided all sufficient proof such as the false listing on **********, the wig itself. I tried to ship back to them, and the seller did not respond. As I understand this is not a goldman sachs issue, this dispute should have been resolved in my favor due to the outcome and sufficient proof. Goldman Sachs says they didn't recieve "proof" and I sent it so many times. A lot of other people that use Goldman Sachs has this same issue they aren't fully investigating the disputes they just say "proof not recieved" and make the customer like myself have to keep reopening the dispute. It's exhausting and I am over it. I haven't used the credit card in a year now since this occurred. I don't feel valued as a customer at all. It's a headache on the phone as well no one knows their job or anything. Pics of wig mb are too big for upload.

      I used my Apple Card to do an installment agreement to buy and Apple phone 1.12/25. I made 3 payments $3004 1/20/25 $100 1/26 and $109 2/15. At this time I noticed it was not an installment sale so I called and they converted it to an installment ageeement and I received the email. I had a credit balance of $239.04. On the email it says my first installment was due 3/31 and that I could pay off my balance quicker. They took the first installment 2/28. I phoned today 3/3 to ask why my positive balance had dropped and they said it was because the installment had gone out and they dont know why as they saw in the email 3/31 too. I then asked them to apply the rest of the positive balance to the installment and was told they can not do that the system wont allow. The email states I can pay more every month to pay it off earlier.

      I am submitting this complaint because my credit report contains accounts that I do not recognize, and I strongly suspect they may be linked to a data breach. The presence of these unverified accounts is deeply concerning, as they could be negatively affecting my credit score and overall financial stability.Despite my attempts to obtain verification, I have not received sufficient proof that these accounts are legitimate. This lack of transparency is unacceptable. As a consumer, I have the right to demand proper documentation justifying their inclusion on my credit report.The accounts in question are as follows:Name of Unverified Item: *********** Account Number: **************** Reporting Balance: $3,384.00 Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (15 U.S.C. 1681g), I am formally requesting copies of any documents used to verify these accounts. A generic response stating that they have been verified is not acceptable. I require tangible proofsuch as original account applications, signed agreements, or transaction *********** confirms their legitimacy.If no such documentation exists, these accounts must be immediately removed under Section 611(a)(5)(A)(i) of the ****, which mandates the deletion of unverifiable information from consumer credit reports.I urge your office to take this matter seriously and conduct a thorough review. This situation has already caused me unnecessary stress and could have long-term consequences on my financial security. I expect swift action and a clear resolution.Thank you for your immediate attention to this issue. Please provide a timely response outlining the steps being taken to address my concerns.

      I have been on a financial hardship agreement with the Apple Credit Card by Goldman Sachs for a little over a year. The agreement was that I pay $25 a month at 0 interest for 5 years until the card is paid off, but I am unable to use it until it's fully paid. I set up autopay. At some point the autopay stopped working and I wasn't notified of why, but I kept getting late notices and would have to go pay it manually. Then, a couple months ago they suddenly charged me $75 instead of $25 but i figured maybe that was a couple months payment at once. Then last month I was charged $40 dollars and it showed on the account that i had been charged interest. Today, is payment date for this card and I go to pay it and it says $27 and that i will be charged interest again. I haven't been notified of any reason why they have suddenly undone my autopay and started charging me whatever they want each month, including interest. As far as I can tell by the calendar, it hasn't been five years I tried to talk to someone about it last month and was put on hold for so long that i couldn't keep waiting. this month, i was given an ai response and then put on hold again when i said that i would be filing a complaint. Then they tried claiming i was never on a payment plan even though it shows clearly that i was not being charged interest. Then they tried claiming it ended, even though it was supposed to last for 5 years

According to the Banks records, the Customer contacted the Bank on December 18, 2023,requesting to enroll in an Apple Card payment plan. The ***** Card payment plan requires the Customer to pay the payment plan amount by the due date each month as instructed in the communication sent to the Customer's email address on file dated December 18, 2023. As a result, the Bank processed a payment in the amount of $25.00 on (first 3 payments). The Customer did not enroll into autopay after the first (3) payments. The Bank processes payments in accordance with the automatic payment instructions set up by the Customer. The Customer submitted successful one-time payments for the duration of the 12-month plan.The Customer successfully completed the ******** term on November 30, 2024. The **** has no record of the Customer being enrolled or being advised of enrollment in a 5-year 0% Variable Annual Percentage Rate payment plan.
      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. The Customer did not satisfy the entire balance on December 31, 2024, and assessed an interest charge. Based on the above details, the Bank kindly requests for this complaint to be closed.

      Hello, I applied Apple Credit card as a first time user using their promo which was sent to me via e-mail. The Apple Card was offered at Goldman Sachs. The promo email says I need to open a new Apple card account 08/13/24 through 09/03/2024 which exactly what I did. I applied to open my credit card on 09/03/2024 and spent more than $2000 in the first 30 days. The second requirement was to spend $1500 or more within 60 days of opening. So until here, I satisfy all the conditions to get $300 promo. However, Goldman Sachs says I am unable to receive the offer because my card was approved 09/04/2024. They acknowledged that I applied on 09/03/2024 which was the last day of the promotional offer but they say my card was approved a day later. However, consumers do not have any control over the approval, as a consumer I can only do my part to apply a new card within the specified promotional dates and satisfy all the conditions. The promotional email does not mention anything about the approval process, it was mentioned- I could have follow up to get it approved but again this is not something consumers have any control on. When I contacted with Goldman Sachs customers agents and supervisors, they all acknowledged that I applied the last day of the promo and they do not help at all even though I opened several cases with them. All of my inquiries got rejected. I attached the conversation with Goldman Sachs agents via Apple card text support for your reference. In this case, I kindly ask your help for resolution to receive $300 as indicated as part of the promo. Kind regards,

      ******** conducted an investigation and confirmed no bank error occurred. According to the Banks records, the Customer opened the Apple Card account and consented to the Apple Card Customer Agreement on September 4, 2024. On December 31, 2024, the Customer contacted the Bank to inquire about receiving the $300 in Daily Cash for spending $1500 Daily Cash promotion. In order to qualify for this promotion, the Customer must open a new Apple Card account between August 13, 2024 through September 3, 2024 and spend $1,500 on the new Apple Card account within 60 days of account opening would earn $300 Daily Cash. ******** investigated and denied providing the $300 because the account was opened outside of the promotion period.

      The Customer applied on September 3, 2024, which required an additional review as a result, the Customer was not approved until September 4, 2025. ******** re-investigated and as a courtesy because the Customer met the qualification of spending $1500 and as a courtesy applied a $300 credit the Customers account on March 5, 2025. ******** contacted the Customer on March 6, 2025 to address the concerns.

      I have been disputing a claim, with Goldman Sachs/the Apple Card, over the course of the past ten months. The dispute continuously resolves in the sellers favor despite the fact that I have, on multiple occasions, provided documentation from the Better Business Bureau suggesting, "...the website you ordered from appears to be an imposter of a business registered in **************".Depending on the credit bureau you reference, my credit score is around an 800 and I do not recall ever disputing any transaction on any of my credit/debit cards. I say that to further indicate that this is not something I do on a regular basis. Note that the 'Dispute Number' provided is for the latest appeal I just submitted. If necessary, I can try to locate the five or six other dispute numbers.

      Goldman Sachs Bank USA (the Bank) received the above-referenced complaint related to Apple Card via the Better Business Bureau (BBB) Complaint Portal on February 22, 2025. ******** appreciates the opportunity to address the concerns raised by ******* Files (the Customer) related to a transaction dispute with the merchant *************** in the amount of $600.00.
      ******** conducted an investigation and confirmed an inadvertent processing error occurred. The Customer initially disputed the transaction on April *******, and re-opened the dispute on June 13, 2024, August 14, 2024, October *******, and December 30, 2024. The **** applied temporary credits while the disputes were investigated. Due to the processing error, the Bank resolved the disputes in favor of the merchant, as the submitted evidence was not thoroughly considered. As a result, the temporary credits that were applied to the Customers account were reversed on June 13, 2024, August 14, 2024, October 23, 2024, December *******, and February 22, 2025. ******** sent the Customer an email detailing each dispute outcome.
      The transaction dispute was re-opened on February 22, 2025, and the Bank applied a temporary credit while the dispute was investigated. Upon further review, the Bank concluded the evidence supports that the merchant did not sufficiently assist the Customer with the concerns. Additionally, the available evidence indicates the Customer abided by the merchants terms and conditions regarding protection for the items purchased. As a result, the temporary credit previously applied to the Customers account was made permanent on February *******. ******** sent the Customer an email detailing the dispute outcome. ******** regrets the frustrations the Customer experienced.
      Based on the above details, the Bank kindly requests for this complaint to be closed.
