I attempted to use my apple card to pay at IQ nail salon on 8/16/24 but the card kept circling, so the clerk canceled and reran it on my ***** card. There was a difference in the amount because the ***** card had the tip on it. The apple card was charged even without a signature. I called them as soon as I seen the charge and provided my ***** statement showing the charge and a picture of a text trail with the salons manager. And they denied this 3 times. This is after speaking numerous times with their customer service agreeing with the dispute as a duplicate. The last call I made 12/26/24 I requested all documentation of the denies and yet to receive any.Customer Answer

I hope this email finds you well. I am writing to respectfully request a re-investigation of my dispute regarding the transaction with Best Buy (Case **********). I appreciate the previous investigation but believe there is substantial evidence supporting my claim that the producta MacBook Prowas never received.Key Points of Evidence 1.Admitted Warehouse Error by Best Buy:The attached email from Best Buys Executive Resolution Specialist, *********, confirms that the MacBook Pro was not included in the box due to a packaging error at their warehouse ? ?.************ Confirmation:FedEx acknowledges delivery of the package but specifies that it contained no item. Their note states a logistical error occurred with the merchant during the shipment process ?.****** *************************************** Care Agent confirmed the error during a live chat and submitted a refund request, assuring me the issue would be resolved ?.4.Terms and Conditions Compliance:Best Buys own Terms and Conditions (attached) clearly state that customers are eligible for a full refund or replacement if a product is not delivered or is damaged. An empty box qualifies under this policy ?.I have e-mailed all supporting documents, including these attachments, multiple times but never received confirmation of receipt.Under federal banking laws, specifically Regulation E, which governs the investigation of disputed transactions, financial institutions must thoroughly review evidence from the cardholder and the merchant. Given the attached evidence, I respectfully ask for another review, as the case clearly falls under a Service Not Received category.I have always valued being an Apple Card member and appreciated the high level of service your team provides. Please reconsider this decision with the full context of the evidence attached. I believe this is a valid claim, and I would greatly appreciate your compassion and support in resolving this matterBusiness Response

On December 23rd, 2024 with a credit score of 740 and good standing, I applied for the Apple Card and immediately got denied after previously being approved prior but wasnt not yet ready. I got and email that I had applied too many times which I wasnt not provided what the limit of times in a period of time was. This is misleading and discouraging and is Goldman Sachs can not fix this issue the no wonder they have a failing partnership with *****. The y should update application terms. Had I been aware of this, things would have went a lot smoother. Hopefully someone will contact me with a solution and this will be take n care of immediately!Business Response

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:As of the 17th day of January 2025, the 30th day since the day I was told to wait to reapply in 30 days repeatedly, I’m still getting the same error message that I got before. I will try one more time at 12:01am mountain time (1:01am central time my time) on tomorrow, January 18, 2025, which will be the 31st day since December 18, 2024. Assuming Goldman Sachs goes by Mountain time being located in Salt Lake City, Utah. If I’m still getting the same error message in 20 hours then obviously something needs to be done on their end to resolve the issue. In the meantime, please reopen my case ********.

I am writing due to the lack of resolution regarding a dispute I raised about a purchase from *******. Despite submitting multiple previous disputes, I purchased a desk from ******* and instead received a piece of wood. When I contacted the company to address these concerns, they did not offer any help, they said they would keep the manufacturer accountable but then never sent me the correct item and never refunded me. Goldman Sachs has allowed the company ******* to keep my item, keep my money, and has allowed this fraud to continue. I have in good faith returned the item and have yet to see any resolution. I believe I am entitled to a full refund for the purchase or the item that was purchased needs to be sent to me. Enclosed with this letter are all relevant documents, including receipts, correspondence with *******, and photographs of the defective products. I urge you to review this case promptly and provide the support I need to bring this matter to a fair resolution. Please contact me if further details or documentation are required.

Since opening my account (Apple Credit Card) with Goldman Sach's I've had a credit limit of $2000.00. I just recently paid ******* to pay ALL of my credit cards off. My payment was placed on hold until 12/18 initially and I was told my total credit and balance would reflect the payment on 12/18 because I made such a large payment. On 12/18 it did NOT reflect my payment and I called and the agent told me it would reflect on 12/19 now. Well 12/19 my credit limit was decreased to $500 from $2000. WHY wait until I make the large payment and reduce my limit. My credit has score has been the same for over 1 year now as I work on it, and it's UNFAIR that once I made the payment and was PROMISED it would reflect as available credit that GOLDMAN SACH'S decided to do a review. I DEMAND my credit limit restored because this is UNFAIR credit practices.Business Response

Goldman Sachs Bank USA (the Bank) received the above-referenced complaint related to Apple Card via the Better Business Bureau (BBB) Complaint Portal on December 20, 2024. ******** appreciates the opportunity to address the concerns raised by ******* ******* (the Customer) related to the credit limit for the Apple Card and a payment hold.
******** conducted a review of the account and confirmed no Bank error occurred. Payments are applied to the outstanding balance on the business day the payment is received, and interest does not accrue for the payment amount. The amount of time it takes for payments made from a bank account to reflect in the available credit can vary based on the payment amount and account history. The Customer should continue making payments on time, and over time, faster updates should be experienced. The Apple Card Customer Agreement states after receiving a payment, the Bank can immediately increase the available credit, or delay increasing the available credit on the account for a period of time. The Customer can check the status of the available credit by going to the Apple Wallet, online at **************, or by contacting the Bank. The Customers payment in the amount of $1,805.45 made on December 12, 2024, was released and reflects in available credit as of December 19, 2024.
During the application process the Customer is provided with and must consent to the Apple Card Customer Agreement including the Credit Report Authorization which discloses that the Customer agrees that the Bank may review the Apple Card account history and credit bureau information regularly to maintain and service the account. This is a standard practice for financial institutions, as it helps to assess the Customers creditworthiness and manage any potential risks associated with the account. On December 18, 2024, the Bank reduced the Customers credit limit as part of a standard risk assessment. Consequently, and in adherence with applicable law, the Bank sent the Customer an email notifying them of the change and detailing the reasons for the new credit limit. ******** is unable to reverse previous credit limit decisions. ******** occasionally evaluates Apple Card accounts for credit limit increases, and the Customers account may be considered at that time. Customers may also choose to apply for a credit limit increase at any point, though the Bank recommends waiting 12 months.

I was sent the wrong size of shoe from ******. I chatted with their customer support and provided ALL documentation asked to show that I did not receive the item I paid for.

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:[Your Answer Here]
Hello, I indeed did provide more proof (attached) during my second dispute. As clearly stated in my dispute this isnt a case about me refusing to return merchandise this is a case about ****** sending my items I did NOT order and REFUSING to refund me when I did not get the item I ordered. As per FTC laws it is illegal to charge someone for unordered merchandise or ask to send the item back for a refund.
Therefore both Apple and ****** are not compliant with FTC or BBB laws because you are charging me for an item I DID NOT order. This just blatantly shows me that your staff does not read or review submitted documentation and I will be pursuing both BBB and FTC action against you and ******.
In order for the BBB to appropriately process your response, you MUST answer the question above.
