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

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 October 29, 2023. The Bank appreciates the
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
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.
During the investigation into the missing payment, an
inadvertent communication error occurred. The Bank reviewed the interactions
and found requested callbacks were not completed in a timely manner. The Bank

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,

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 called Aug. 2023 to pay off my credit card. I was told to call back on Aug. 31, 2023 because it would it be cheaper. So I called on Aug. 31,2023 to pay off my credit card. This time I was told $3641.31 would pay off my credit card expect for the $198.77 is what i owe on my iphone. I waited a few days kept watching for my credit card to go to zero balance and it never did. So I called back towards the end of the week of Sept. 2023 and I asked about the charges still showing, I was told it can take up to 2wks before it goes to zero balance. I was ready to pay off my iphone and I was told I had to wait till my credit card goes to zero balance. Now this has became an issue because now I'm being told I owe this balance that keeps adding up due to the interest. I spoke with ********* (manager) he supposed to check into this and either call or email never heard from him. So I called Oct. 9, 2023 spoke with **** and I explained everything to her she told me my next step was to file a complaint since ********* didn't follow throught, so I did. All I wanted to do is to pay off my iphone is what I have left to pay on my Apple credit card (Goldman Sachs). Noone won't accept my payment. I'm willing to pay the $198.77 and nothing more because I was told that's all I owe not $5 hundred and some dollars.Business Response

Complaint: ********
I am rejecting this response because: I have no knowledge of the alleged account or any login details to that alleged account. Not to mention, it’s listed under a address that doesn’t belong to me nor have I ever stayed and all three bureaus have indeed flagged the address as fraudulent. The account was opened without my consent, authorization or permissible purpose using my confidential information. I have no way of knowing any login information for the alleged account with Marcus by Goldman Sachs. All I have is the account’s number and that is due to it being listed on my consumer report. Experian, Equifax, Transunion and Plaid, are all paid services that you (Marcus by Goldman Sachs) use which have all agreed that they have been apart of a data breach 2022 & 2023 which caused millions of customers, including myself, personal private information to be leaked for hackers, fraudsters and dark web activities.Please be Advised and Noticed that punishing me for the repayment of an alleged debt by furnishing nonpublic information without my consent to unauthorized 3rd parties such as Experian, Equifax, Transunion, as a means to ruin my financial reputation, is a violation of 18 USC 894 and the furnishers “Marcus by Goldman Sachs” could be criminally liable for 20yrs.

Complaint: 20752290
I am rejecting this response because:
The problem has not been resolved. The transactions are complete, but not without any enormous amount of work on my part and enormous amount of erroneous information supplied and conducted by Marcus. I asked to be contacted by member of the management team and that has not happened. I got a call from a person in the contact center who is asking me if I wanted to make another transaction. Clearly nobody has read my complaint. Clearly nobody from management cares about my complaint. This is the last opportunity for someone in management to contact me to understand why working with Marcus was so problematic and why it is led me to an exit.
Sincerely,
