      This complaint is for Apple Card which is underwritten by Goldman Sachs. I paid the balance in full before the due date so there should be no interest charges. Their app has a wheel that shows how much interest you'll pay based on what payment you make.The app showed no interest in paid in full. I paid in full they are now arguing this is rolling interest. I've never heard of such on a credit card. My balance was $4534.15, I paid $4534.15 before the due date.

      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 21, 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 an inadvertent communication error occurred. To avoid being charged interest, customers must pay the monthly balance in full every month on or before the due date. If the monthly balance is not paid by the due date, interest begins to accrue. Interest is charged on the unpaid portion of the monthly balance and begins to accrue on new purchases until the monthly balance is paid in full. Any accrued interest will appear on the ********* next statement and in the wallet under latest Card transactions. When interest charges are assessed after the monthly balance is paid in full, it is because the Customer paid the prior monthly balance after the due date. Paying the monthly balance stops additional interest from accruing. However, since the Customer did not pay the November monthly balance in full, the account was assessed interest on the December balance for the days until the Customer paid the full monthly balance. The Customer paid the December monthly balance in full on January 31, 2025, as a result, the account was assessed interest on the balance until that date and the Bank charged interest in the amount of $74.60 on January 31, 2025. Any interest amount on the wallet app wheel is an estimate that is provided for illustrative purposes only. Interest charge estimates are based on the state of the account and the selected payment, and do not include pending transactions, credits from disputes, or other purchases made during the month. The actual interest charges will appear on the statement each month.

      On January 31, 2025, the Customer was misinformed no additional interest would be assessed. As a result of the communication error, the Bank backdated the January payments totaling $4, ****** to December 31, 2024. Interest was credited on March 4, 2025, totaling $77.73 which resulted in a credit balance refund. On the same day, the Bank contacted the Customer to address the concerns. ******** sent a credit balance refund in the amount of $77.73 to the ********* bank account on file on March 5, 2025, as requested by the Customer. The Customer should allow 2-3 business days for the refund to be received.

      Based on the above details, the Bank kindly requests for this complaint to be closed.

      Dear ************************************,I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding the mishandling of my dispute process by Apple Card and Goldman Sachs, stemming from a distressing experience I encountered with *****************. I was charged for services that were never rendered, and highlights the failures of Apple Card and Goldman Sachs in resolving this matter satisfactorily. Disputed Charge and Misrepresentation On November 25, 2022, I purchased a ***************** ****** subscription for $799, relying on promotional claims that indicated various travel arrangements would be available for my use. However, when the subscription was supposed to commence on May 3, 2023, it became evident that no services were provided. I have come to realize that this deal is, in fact, too good to be true, as I experienced a multitude of issues before any service could be provided.I have also encountered significant difficulties in reaching customer service representatives to discuss the program and clarify my questions. Deceptive marketing , hidden fees and NO costumer service . An extensive search revealed numerous customer complaints regarding similar issuesnamely, misleading information and an inability to connect with support staff.Inability to Access Services:I attempted to cancel my ***************** subscription due to a lack of service but faced obstacles, including a malfunctioning website and unresponsive customer support. I struggled to reach a live representative, making it exceedingly difficult to resolve my ********* full disclosure from Apple Card:I submitted a dispute letter to Apple Card on April 7, 2023, but have not received confirmation or a proper investigation report. Their failure to respond within the required timeframe should entitle me to a resolution in my favor. Additionally, my requests for evidence related to my dispute have been met with vague refusals, undermining my consumer rights.

      I am filing this complaint against Goldman Sachs, the issuer of Apple Card, regarding an unresolved dispute over unauthorized charges related to a "Do Not Pay" subscription billed to my Apple Card. The charges in question were made while my "Donot Pay" subscription was locked, preventing me from accessing my account to cancel the subscription. Despite this, I was repeatedly billed for a service I could not access or manage. I disputed seven charges of $36.00 each through Apple Card. Goldman Sachs acknowledged the issue and credited only two of the seven charges, yet the remaining five charges were not refunded. The same logic that justified the reversal of the two charges should apply to the rest. Key Points of My Dispute: - My "DonotPay" account was locked, preventing me from canceling the subscription. - Goldman Sachs credited only 2 out of 7 charges, despite all charges being under the same circumstances. - I provided evidence, including screenshots of my locked "Donotpay" account, yet ********************** has not resolved the dispute fairly. Desired Resolution: 1. Immediate refund of the remaining five (5) disputed charges of $36.00 each. 2. Assurance that similar disputes in the future are handled with consistency and fairness. This issue has caused unnecessary financial strain, and I believe that Goldman Sachs has failed to fairly apply its own dispute resolution process. I am requesting that BBB review this matter and help facilitate a resolution. Thank you for your time and assistance.

      First of all, before triggering the BBB, which is a precursor that precedes the court in the last instance, I made contact through the 3 largest credit bureaus informing exactly what will be treated in this but without return and solution. The Apple card (by Goldman) went into a state of late payments, due to health issues, long-term hospitalization, treatment and removal from work functions. The reason that the same occurred was due to long-term hospitalization, which cannot afford the payments imposed by the contract and subsequent indefinite leave from work functions. After being discharged and after improving medical treatment, I myself sought the aforementioned company ********* , to remedy and be up to date with all pending issues, an agreement was made by both parties that the residual amount to be paid in full , payment is made in cash with the condition of being removed from the credit agencies all information regarding late payments , in this way I agreed and make the payment and my part of the agreement. However, the payment was verified and reported, but the part of the agreement regarding the exclusion of bad information, such as delays , was not complied with. I conclude through BBB, the almost exhaustion of an amicable solution, because I do not want to receive for damages at a higher level, but only that the agreement of the parties is fulfilled. Note: all hospital, work and agreement documents were analyzed by the contractor before the payment and effectiveness of the agreement Through this I request compliance by the Apple Card, and removal of the information with the credit bureaus

      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 has caused me significant concern, as they could be negatively impacting my credit standing and overall financial well-being.Despite my efforts to obtain clarity and verification, I have not received sufficient proof that these accounts are legitimate. This lack of transparency is alarming, and I believe it is my right as a consumer to demand proper documentation that justifies their inclusion on my credit report.The accounts in question are as follows:Name of Unverified Item: *********** Account Number: **************** Reporting Balance: $3,009.00 ?As per my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (15 U.S.C. 1681g), I am formally requesting copies of any documents used to verify these accounts.

This situation has already caused me unnecessary stress and could have lasting consequences on my financial security.

      On 2/6/2025, I made a payment on my ***** Card account. Ive made plenty since having the account and numerous payments have been +$1000. I use the card to pay for most everything. Regardless of how many thousands the payments have been, *** always had the account balance available reflect the amount paid immediately. Except for this time. The payment was accepted by ***** and shown to have gone through by my bank. IE, no longer pending status. I confirmed with my bank that the funds had been through and settled to *****. I reached out to ***** tonight asking why my funds were not available yet. I was told that it was due to the amount paid, and if I used Apple Cash, the funds would have been made available immediately. I argued that Ive paid large amounts in the past with no issue, and waiting nearly a week after the funds were taken is -not- acceptable. I was told that, upon review, my funds would be available by end of business on the 14th, which is Friday. I checked my Apple Card and looked at the payment, which said that funds would be available by the end of business on the 13th, which is today. I pointed out this inconsistency and asked for them to release my funds. I was told they couldnt do that. I asked to speak to the manager and the person who could, because I know that there is in-fact someone who can release the funds. While I was sent to the manager, they also claimed they could not help me, and also gave me the new updated release time. I checked the ***** app again and saw that it had not changed, stating the funds would be available by end of day today, contrary to what the manager stated. I asked to speak to their supervisor due to this inconsistency and unacceptable week long wait, but was told there wasnt anyone else and the credits would release when she said. This is unacceptable, *****. Holding peoples money hostage for a week is wrong, and I sincerely hope others read this and scoff at the responses I got. Release my money.
