To Whom It May Concern : I received a copy of my credit report with the intention of trying to improve my credit and take care of my responsibilities and noticed a few accounts that I wanted a little more explanation on. I am not saying they are reporting right or wrong.

Some of the people reporting things on me, I have never heard of which made me write to you all.

Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Complaint:
This complaint involves XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Account XXXX. This account is found on my EQUIFAX Credit Report. I am disputing the accuracy and legitimacy of this account charges. When these charges initially surfaced, I contacted XXXX and reported the charges fraudulent. The largest of the largest charges, I was able to track to a furniture store who provided me a copy of the signed document receipt. They provided information that an older female signed the invoice and the delivery address was not my address nor was it an address I had ever lived. I provided XXXX this information and subsequently, I provided XXXX all local Police Reports, and Federal Identity Theft Task Force reports of the identity theft and fraudulent use of the card. I provided XXXX the report from the U.S. Department of State as well as the Office of Personnel Management advising both me and my husband that we had been victim of a breach and that our information had been identified in use on the dark web. As a direct result, XXXX refused to conduct a comprehensive, reliable investigation in a timely manner that would have allowed the individuals responsible to be brought to justice. Instead, I was repeatedly told " our investigation does not indicate fraud. '' When asked to provide strict proof of their investigation and findings, I was met with hostility. I have been pursuing this matter now for over five years, to no avail. CREDIT CARD and CREDIT REPORTING AGENCIES have an affirmative obligation to Investigate Consumer Credit Report Disputes in a timely fashion and to provide the results of those investigations. XXXX and XXXX XXXX have failed to do either. The other two credit bureaus, Equifax and XXXX have removed this account, with prejudice, from my credit report. A second matter is related to a bankruptcy, XXXX filed XX/XX/XXXX. The filing is subject to a mandatory removal XX/XX/XXXX. I have repeatedly disputed this reporting based upon the fact the bankruptcy court dismissed the case without any discharge and that all creditors were paid satisfactorily. While your position is that XXXX XXXX reserves the right and ability to report the information for ten years, you have no statutory obligation to do so. I continue to labor under the reporting of this bankruptcy and it has a major impact on my credit report and FICO Score. I am asking respectfully that you remove this bankruptcy from my credit report early and allow me to move forward in the current dire circumstance.

Company: GOLDMAN SACHS BANK USA
State: FL
Product: Checking or savings account
Sub-product: Savings account
Issue: Managing an account
Sub-issue: Deposits and withdrawals

Complaint:
I requested a wire transfer of {$240000.00} from my online saving account ending XXXX in Marcus by Goldman Sachs to my XXXX XXXX checking account in the morning of XX/XX/2023. Their web site says the wire transfer should be processed in the same business day if the request is initiated before XXXX that day. Because I did a wire transfer from the same saving account in Marcus by Goldman Sachs to the same XXXX XXXX checking account on XX/XX/XXXX and the transfer was processed on XX/XX/XXXX, I am expecting this wire transfer should be processed on the same day because the money is wire transferred to the exact same bank and account. But my wire transfer was not processed on XX/XX/XXXX. So, I contacted Marcus in the evening of XX/XX/XXXX and the agent has no idea and submitted an expedited request for me. In the morning of XX/XX/XXXX, a customer representative from Marcus called me and said they need verification of my ownership in another bank to process the transfer and another bank customer service representative is in the conference call already. I answered all the questions from another bank customer service representative in the conference call and they verified my ownership successfully. Then I ask the Marcus representative when my wire transfer will be processed since you already verified, and I need this wire transfer be processed asap. Then she asked me why you are moving this money to XXXX XXXX. This really made me feel not comfortable, but I still told her because XXXX XXXX has better rate and promotion to open an account and that is why I need this wire transfer to be processed asap so that I can meet the promotion deadline. Then she told me she can not tell when, the wire transfer will be approved by another group. 
Again, my wire transfer was still not processed by the end of XX/XX/XXXX. So, this morning on XX/XX/XXXX, I contacted Marcus again and the representative told me it is still in process, and they don't know when. 
This is ridicules. I chose wire transfer because I think this is the fastest way to transfer money from XXXX bank to another bank. I followed their procedures to initiate the wire transfer and verify my ownership in another bank account, but Marcus seems trying to hold my money and doesn't want to lose my deposit to another bank with no reason. The domestic wire transfer should be completed within 1-3 business days and normally within 24 hours. I already did a wire transfer before from the same account in Marcus By Goldman Sachs to the same account in XXXX XXXX and I even verify my ownership of another bank account with them again and told them to contact me if anything is needed and I just need this wire transfer be processed asap. But still my wire transfer is not processed.
