Issue: Trouble using your card
Sub-issue: Can't use card to make purchases

Complaint:
This complaint is for the Apple Card issued by Goldman Sachs Ive had the card since it first launched and never had any issues. I woke up on the morning of XX/XX/22 to see an email that my account had been closed. No reason disclosed and I was told to wait for the letter or contact XXXX of their representatives. My account wasnt past due, I didnt violate their Terms & Conditions, and I was not over the credit limit. Contacted their support and was told they can not disclose the reason due to privacy. Then was told to reapply again. I was transferred to their supervisor and was told he would email the reason to me and to reapply again. Never received this email that supposedly was going to contain steps to reopen my account. 

Fast forward to XX/XX/22, I finally got the letter. The reason for closing my account? Apparently per my request. I have never contacted their support to close my account. This needs to be fixed and my account reopened. I did not request to have my account closed and its not right that their only resolution is to have me reapply again. I should not have to do this since this a mistake on their end.

Company: U.S. BANCORP
State: CA
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Applying for a mortgage or refinancing an existing mortgage

Complaint:
I was repeatedly assured that I could get a lower rate or lock in a lower rate if the rates went down. I asked this question several times and received the same answer. When rates went down he ( XXXX XXXXXXXX ) with US Bank, acknowledged that they had gone down ( XX/XX/XXXX from XX/XX/XXXX ) and then he said he would shop the loan when he had loan approval that day or the next. I received loan approval on the XXXX and he said he would shop for rates. When I pressed him on the XXXX, he told me that there was not ENOUGH of a difference in rate for him to change it. 

THIS IS NOT WHAT I WAS TOLD. I was told that if the rates lowered, that I could get a lower rate. THERE WERE NO QUALIFIERS. 

Only, when the rates lowered, and I questioned AGAIN about securing a lower rate was I told, he needed to wait for loan approval in order to do that? 

Then after loan approval he says the difference was not substantial enough. When I questioned him about the it on the XXXX, it was a XXXX point difference from the day that he locked it. A XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX is a very significant difference to me. 

When I went to his supervisor XXXX, she actually stated to me that he did not technically lie. She completely ignored what I had been previously told and presented his latter statements as true statements. So me being told that I can lower my rate if the rates lower ( which they did lower substantially between XX/XX/XXXX and mid XXXX ) means what? How was I supposed to interpret that answer? Please tell me, how was I supposed to interpret that answer? Yes, I can get a lower rate if the rates drop? There were no qualifiers to that repeated answer to my repeated question. 

I specifically went with a large bank vs an online lender thinking it was going to be a more respectable and forthright transaction. I WAS WRONG THERE. What I got was repeated misrepresentation. I went out of my way to ask questions as this was a huge commitment to make, even before opening escrow, before depositing my earnest money with escrow and throughout. At each stage I was offered assurances about the loan estimate changing for the better, about the ability to better the rate if rates improved. I know that I am still not being told the whole story by the bank or its representatives. They have yet to be forthright in their representations. Meanwhile, it has cost me $ $ $ $ $ XXXX

Complaint:
I have student loans with XXXX XXXX XXXX that are reporting to have late/missed payments. I have worked with XXXX and it seems they have sent an update to the credit bureaus and the status still has not changed. I have 13 accounts with XXXX and 11 are showing past due on XXXX and XXXX of 2019. Since these loans were taken out they have always been in deferment. 

I have made numerous attempts to dispute this information. The only response that I am given, by mail is that the accounts have been verified. I have requested documents showing the investigation results and after 2 years none has been provided. 

In addition, I have been in contact with XXXX and each time I am advised the notification was in fact sent over to the credit bureaus.

XXXX XXXX XXXX. 
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX SC, XXXX XX/XX/1985 Last 4 of SSN : XXXX XXXX XXXX To Whom It May Concern, On XXXX XXXX, I wrote to you requesting an investigation into items that I believed were ( INNACCURATE, OUTDATED OR OBSOLETE ). To date, I have not received a reply from you or any acknowledgment that an investigation has begun. In my previous request, I listed my reasons for disputing the information. I have enclosed it again and request that you reply within a reasonable amount of time. 

Since this is my ( SECOND, THIRD, FOURTH, ETC ) ) request, I will also be sending a copy of this letter to the Federal Trade Commission notifying them that I have signed receipts for letters sent to you and you have not complied with my request. I regret that I am being forced to take such action. 

Please see my reasons for dispute below : I have sent proof that there is a substantial amount of errors on my credit file varying from ; XXXX, XXXX, and Equifax. I have done so more than once. My credit reports still reads errors, which goes against the FCRA. 
( FCRA states all items reported by a furnisher must be 100 % ), and you still refuse to remove those accounts. Every piece of information I provided was/is enough for items to be removed. I attached an updated report that shows that after the first investigation, even when the credit reporters said their investigation was completed, they did not update any information and my report still reads the same thing. 

I also understand that you are required to notify me of your investigation results within 30 days and provide me with an updated copy of my credit report. My contact information is provided below. 


Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX.
