On October 25, 2023 I had contacted Marcus Goldman Sachs on the phone about a problem I had been experiencing trying to log in into my high yield savings account. I was then informed that my account was going to be closed and was told I had been informed through email which I had not. Furthermore, I had asked the reason for the foreclosure and was told that the information cannot be given to me due to security reasons. Afterwards, I was not given much more information and was told that my money in the account would be sent through mail within 1-2 weeks or so from that day. On November 8, 2 weeks after, I called the company again because no check had been sent. I was informed again that my money will not be sent until my “case” is settled. I have not been given much information about when the case would be settled and was asked to call back in a couple more days for any updates. Enough ample time has been given to determine why my account has been closed, even before October 25th I was not able to log into my account, but had not had time to look into it then. Not only that, but I have not been able to receive any answers. Most importantly, I have not received my money back that was in the account which I am concerned about. I wish for my money to be sent back through preferably a transfer or through mail as soon as possible. Also, the reason as to why my account had been closed as there had been no suspicious activity with the account. I do understand though that I had signed a contract agreeing that the company has full right to close my account, just a reconsideration in case my account was being wrongfully closed.Business Response

During the holiday season of 11/2022 I made an online purchase at Ssense, using my Mastercard through Goldman Sachs, upon submitting my order and receiving a confirmation I saw it still had my old address. I tried numerous times to contact merchant by phone but the recording said due to the busy season we had to email in. I did this and the merchant assured me the purchase would be retracted and not delivered the also offered me a discount code for my next purchase due to the inconvenience. I am still being charged for the purchase and have asked for it to be escalated over 10xs Goldman Sachs keeps sending me receipt of my order and that it was delivered to my old address. I have submitted to Goldman Sachs the email I have from the merchant showing she would make sure the order wasn’t delivered and my proof that I contacted them and they still keep declining the dispute and no one will call me Why should I be responsible for a package that was delivered to my old address when I called and was told they would take care of it???

Complaint: ********
I am rejecting this response because: I spoke with SSense the merchant and they said since it’s past 90 days my financial institution needs to dispute it, but they have the info that the package was NOT supposed to ship out to my old address and that they had records I contacted them not to ship. The bank is not looking into this diligently for me, the “proof of delivery” they keep sending me is for the old address. How does that make any sense? I have proof that I contacted them with the new address and they say they are going to take care of it and don’t. I should not be responsible for this purchase that was not delivered to my address!!!! This is fraud on their part because they don’t want to do their job and look into further they see a proof of delivery confirmation and just close the case????? It’s not my address !!!!!

I am rejecting this response because: I made multiple attempts before the package shipped not one, after the package shipped, like Goldman Sacs is stating. I have included another email where I reached out. I also called them repeatedly and they never answered their phone lines and the recording requested an email, to which they did not respond in a timely manner . I made every effort to change it. This is not my fault, it should not have been delivered and when they did they should have have it picked up.

I opened an online savings account with Marcus by Goldman Sachs in December 2022, which I funded with money from my checking account at ******* ****** (which was linked and approved by Marcus). One month ago (on October 2, 2023), I requested my savings to be withdrawn from the Marcus account. The transfer was reversed the following day on October 3, 2023. I contacted Marcus to understand the situation, and was informed that my account had been locked. The reason provided to me was that I needed to be verified with a pin authorization sent to my mobile number on file (the same number I have been using for years and which has never been changed since I opened the account - also the number called Marcus from), but that since the number was not associated to my name (whatever this means) they couldnt verify me and therefore had to lock my account.I was then informed the only way to unlock my account was to sign a notarized affidavit and return it to Marcus. They claimed it was mailed to me on October 9, 2023, and that it should arrive in **** business days. After 15 days I had not received the affidavit in my mail. I called Marcus again on October 27, 2023 to request the affidavit be re-sent, and I was informed that there was a new company policy which no longer used affidavits. Instead, I was to be called by Marcus within 1-3 business days to rectify the situation and confirm my identify.3 business days have passed, I have not been anywhere without my phone and, surprise surprise, I havent received a call from Marcus.My account has been locked for one month. I have urgency in withdrawing my funds, and feel like I am no closer to having my situation solved. I feel completely powerless and have no idea what to do.I request Marcus to please close my savings and CD accounts and transfer all the funds to my ******* ****** account (the original account I used to fund it).Business Response

appreciates the opportunity to address the concerns raised by *** ****************************************** (the
Customer) related to accessing their account.
On October 2, 2023, the Customer initiated an outgoing transfer from their *** to a linked account.
During the transfer processing review, the Bank identified security concerns regarding the Customers

resolve the security concerns without an AOI.
On November 9, 2023, the Bank contacted the Customer, and a Bank specialist was able to verify the
Customer using alternate methods. Additionally, the Bank conducted a three-way call with the Customer
and the external institution to verify the ownership of the linked account to clear the remaining security
concerns. The Bank restored the Customers online account access and attempted to assist the

On 10/11/2023 my husband **** and I authorized our banking institution Prospera Credit Union to pay in full the balance of our creidt card for $4,422.29.
On 10/12/2023 Prospera Credit Union mailed a cashier's check to Goldman Sachs in which the cashier's check was cashed with a Goldman's Sachs endorsement on 10/17/2023. My due date for the credit card was 10/21/2023. The payment has not been applied to my account and unlawful additional interest charges have been added to the account on 10/25/2023. I called Prospera Credit Union on 10/23/2023 to request documentation for the payment to find out why my balance had not been paid in full. On 10/24/2023 I called Goldman Sachs customer service to inquire on where the payment was as it was not applied to my account. They stated they could not find the payment and would investigate it. I have called everyday as there has not been any resolution and they fail to call me back as promised over and over again each day. I want the payment of $4,422.29 applied to my account, the $84.61 interest charges removed and the goodwill monetary gesture they promised honored. Multiple 2 day timers and 12 hour timers of return phone calls have not been honored on Goldman Sachs behalf. Please help me resolve this issue. I have provided them with the cancelled cashier's check with Goldman Sachs endorsement and yet they have NOT started to even resolve this issue.Business Response

opportunity to address the concerns raised by ********* **** (the “Customer”)
related to a missing payment and customer service.
The Bank conducted an investigation and confirmed no Bank
error occurred. The Customer contacted the Bank on October 24, 2023, reporting
a missing check payment of $4,422.29. The Bank initiated an investigation to be

Complaint: ********
I am rejecting this response because:Goldman Sachs charged additional interest on 10/25/2023 that totaled $84.61. The interest was charged even though the balance was paid in full by the cashiers check our bank sent on our behalf that Goldman Sachs cashed on 10/17/2023. My due date was 10/21/2023. I do not feel that it is lawful to charge interest on a zero balance. $60.89 was the remainder of the $84.61 that Goldman Sachs would not correct.
Sincerely,
********* ****Business Response

Goldman Sachs Bank USA (the “Bank”) received the
above-referenced complaint related to the GM Card via the Better Business
Bureau (“BBB”) Complaint Portal on November 7, 2023. The Bank appreciates the
opportunity to address the concerns raised by ******** **** (the “Customer”)
related to interest charges.
As provided in the Bank’s previous response, the Bank
conducted an investigation and confirmed no Bank error occurred. The Customer
contacted the Bank on October 24, 2023, reporting a missing check payment of
$4,422.29. The Bank initiated an investigation to be completed within 10
business days. The Bank located the payment on October 30, 2023, and posted to
the account with a received date of October 17, 2023. Interest credits totaling
$23.72 posted to the account on October 30, 2023. The Bank advises the Customer
to include a full name and 16-digit card number with future payments to prevent
delays.
To avoid interest charges, customers are required to pay the
monthly balance in full as of the end of the previous cycle 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 GM Card Customer Agreement.
According to the Bank’s records, the account was not paid in
full for the statement generated on August 24, 2023, with a due date of
September 21, 2023. As a result, the Customer was charged $88.79 of interest.
Since the Customer did not pay the August monthly balance in full, the Bank
charged interest on the September balance for the days until the Customer fully
paid the monthly balance. The Customer paid the September monthly balance in
full with the check payment on October 17, 2023, so was charged interest on the
balance until that date. As a result, the remaining interest of $60.89 is the
trailing interest charged on October 24, 2023. The Bank is unable to provide
further monetary compensation.
Based on the above details, the Bank kindly requests for
this complaint to be closed.Customer Answer

I am rejecting this response because:The cashiers check provided full account payment. $84.61 interest charges were applied on 10/25/2023. If the balance was paid in full no interest charges should have been applied on 10/25/2023. Goldman Sachs should credit back the remaining $60.89.

In my prior correspondence, I expressed doubts regarding the accuracy of the negative accounts detailed in my consumer report. Despite earlier investigations, these accounts remain unresolved, significantly impacting my credit profile. It is imperative that as a consumer, I am provided with an accurate representation of my credit history, as mandated by the FCRA.
Furthermore, I wish to reiterate that while elements such as payment history, credit utilization, and other pertinent factors play a pivotal role in credit scoring models like FICO, they are distinct from the contents of my consumer report. These factors are used to assess creditworthiness, and their influence should not overshadow the veracity of information present in my consumer report.
Considering the FCRA, I draw your attention to 15 USC 1681A, a critical provision outlining exclusions from inclusion in a consumer report. It is my contention that the negative accounts under dispute may fall within the bounds of information that should not be reported. Citing the relevant section from 15 USC 1681A:
"The term report containing information solely as to transactions or experiences between the consumer and the person making the report; communication of that information among persons related by common ownership or affiliated by corporate control; or communication of other information among persons related by common ownership or affiliated by corporate control, if it is clearly and conspicuously disclosed to the consumer that the information may be communicated among such persons and the consumer is given the opportunity, before the time that the information is initially communicated, to direct that such information not be communicated among such persons."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 October 26, 2023. The Bank appreciates the opportunity to address the
concerns raised by ****** ** ***** (the “Customer”) related to credit reporting
for Apple Card.
The Bank conducted an investigation and confirmed due to a processing error,
the Customer was incorrectly reported to the credit reporting agencies after
being removed as a Participant. The Customer agreed and was added as a
Participant on another Customer’s Apple Card account on November 3, 2021, and
agreed to be reported to the credit reporting agencies. On April 28, 2022, the
Customer was removed as a participant from the Apple Card account. However due
to the processing error, the Apple Card the Customer was removed from was still
being reported. The Bank submitted a request on October 30, 2023, to remove the
adverse credit reporting after April 28, 2022, and update the reporting to show
the Participant as terminated. The Customer should allow up to 30 days for the
change to reflect on the credit reporting. The Bank is unable to remove any
reporting prior to the Customer’s removal from the Apple Card account. The Bank
regrets the frustrations the Customer has experienced.

On 08-04-23 at 4:05 PM I made a purchase at Giant Eagle, **** ** **** **.., Erie, PA 16505. My credit card was denied three times so I paid for my order in cash, $57.02. I called Marcus at 4:36 PM and I spoke with Syed (spelling?) about my GM card and I was told there were no problems with my card. He said the amount had not yet posted and that I needed to check later in the day to see if it processed, which it did show up on my account. On 08-05-23 I initiated a dispute with Nyelli (sp?) and I was told to contact Giant Eagle. I was given a temporary credit and they would check with the merchant; they also said it could take up to 60-90 days to resolve and I would be contacted when they made their decision. I went back to the store and spoke with Angela at the C/S desk & she said the store couldn't help me. On 08-07-23 I uploaded a copy of my cash receipt to Marcus. On 10-24-23 my dispute was denied so I called again, i spoke with Adi (sp?) and she said she would resubmit my claim, she could see that I had paid cash, and she would annotate my account and submit to her superior for a review I have not received any additional feedback from Marcus.Business Response

I am writing to file a formal complaint against Apple Credit Card for an unauthorized charge of $29.99 and their subsequent failure to address my concerns.Unauthorized Charge: I discovered a $29.99 charge on my Apple Credit Card account, for which no email receipt was provided, and no details were visible on the mobile app.Inadequate Customer Support: I found it extremely challenging to locate a customer service contact for Apple. The contact number is not clearly listed on their website and turns out to be for Goldman Sachs, not Apple.Dismissive Support Staff: Upon reaching out to Goldman Sachs, the representative was condescending and unhelpful. My call was terminated without resolving the issue.Unhelpful ***************** My attempts to seek help on the *************** Webpage were fruitless. I was directed to another Apple site with conflicting information, stating that issues must be addressed in writing and mailed.This experience is unacceptable and portrays both Apple and Goldman Sachs in a highly unprofessional manner.
