Company: GOLDMAN SACHS BANK USA
State: FL
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: Store credit card
Issue: Getting a credit card
Sub-issue: Card opened as result of identity theft or fraud

Complaint:
Someone opened a Marcus by Goldman Sachs Credit Card for XXXX XXXX XXXX using my Middle name as my first name and all other stolen information. 
On or about XX/XX/XXXX I began receiving emails about me getting my new credit card soon. I didn't pay much attention because I assumed it was some kind of advertisement and/or scam email? 
I kept getting emails about approval of card and my credit limit. That's when I checked with XXXX XXXX to see if anything was on my credit reports. Sure enough, there it was. 
I contacted the credit card company directly on or about XX/XX/XXXX? I explained to them the situation and they went ahead and restricted the card. About that time I even received a gift from the Jewelry Store, which I immediately returned. 
I was told that they would investigate the situation and get back to me with 10 days ... which they never did. 
After receiving a " billing statement '' in the mail from CC company I called them again and discovered that they did not do anything except put a freeze on the CC. This was on XX/XX/XXXX. I gave them all the info over again and they said they would resolve within 10 days. At this time they also informed me of other attempts to use my info for other CC, s. 
Now I see that the balance due was reported to the credit bureaus and my scores have dropped XXXX points. Previous to this I did place a restriction on any credit inquiries for all 3 credit bureas shortly after my first discussion with CC company back in late XX/XX/XXXX. They told me to also contact you as well but I did not up until now after seeing what is happening with my credit scores? 
Please help me with the situation..? 
Thanks XXXX XXXX

Issue: Communication tactics
Sub-issue: You told them to stop contacting you, but they keep trying

Complaint:
I mailed my cease and desist letter to the collection agency who is responsible for this debt. I was very clear that they should cease and desist all communications with me in regards to this debt. My USPS certified tracking number is XXXX in which was delivered and signed for on XX/XX/2023. But even though they received my letter and signed for it. They still have been trying to contact me through my consumer report as well as continuing to send me letters in the mail about this debt. Under section 805 ( c ) of the FDCPA states that if a consumer notifies a debt collector in writing that they wish the debt collector to cease further communication with them. The debt collector must not communicate further with that consumer. So why are they still trying to communicate to me through my consumer reports about this debt that I already written to them to cease all collection and communication with me. As well as section 807 ( 4 ) which prohibits a debt collector from continuing to communicate with the consumer, except to notify the consumer that the debt collector further attempts are being terminated.

Sub-issue: Threatened or suggested your credit would be damaged

Complaint:
Complaint re : CashNetUSA We attempted to pay off this debt IN FULL several times during XXXX and early XXXX ( this was a requirement of a XXXX lender so it was imperative to do so ). During telephone and written emails we were repeated refused our request for a mailing address and always received the same answer. The company refused our payment by mail and will only take a payment via our checking account. We repeated asked the lender for the mailing address to mail the XXXX lenders check or our check of payment in full. I even tried to pay the debt while we were out of the country via e-mail and after two emails was AGAIN informed they would not provide a mailing address for payments. Based on CashNetUSAs refusal to provide mailing address HELO lender decided to put through our home equity/improvement loan without paying them. CashNetUSA refused to accept our payment, in full, of this loan beginning in XXXX and XXXX of XXXX by refusing to provide us a mailing address to mail payment in full. They can confirm this by checking their own email records which are kept by them. We have now received information that this account has been sent to a debt collector. That is unfair. We attempted to pay this debt, in full, on many occasions and were refused by CashNetUSA. We wanted a cancelled check as a firm receipt that this debt was paid. We should not owe any additional interest, or perhaps even the entire amount loaned because they refused payment in full on more than one occasion. Again, they were told we wanted to pay the amount in full and needed a mailing address to do so. They refused to provide a mailing address on several occasions and said they would not accept our payment that way.
