Company: GOLDMAN SACHS BANK USA
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Closing your account
Sub-issue: Company closed your account

Complaint:
The matter is twofold. Goldman Sachs has 1 ) been sending me unwanted and unnecessary emails for six months. They have done this even after having 2 ) cancelled my credit-card ( Apple Card ) account, which cancellation was unwanted by me.

These emails are now tantamount to spam ( https : //www.ftc.gov/tips-advice/business-center/guidance/can-spam-act-compliance-guide-business ) : Goldman has no legitimate business purpose in sending them, as they are statement notices for an account that has been closed for over a year and has had a XXXX  balance since XX/XX/XXXX. The most recent of these emails arrived on XXXX XX/XX/XXXX. How does this qualify as transactional or relationship content? 

I have contacted Goldman many times to request that this stop. I have made these requests in conversation with Goldman service agents and via postal letter. Service agents have assured me that the matter will be dealt with, but it appears that no action has been taken. 

But why did Goldman cancel my account in the first place? The official closure notification stated that it was due to my failure to comply with the terms of the Card Member Agreement or Rewards Agreement. I went over the Card Member Agreement with a fine-toothed comb and could not spot my infraction. 

Enquiring further, I discovered that Goldman apparently believed that I represented potential first-party fraud ( a Goldman service agent revealed this to me during a phone conversation, by incautiously reading aloud the notes on my account ). This is obviously inaccurate. And let the following be noted : I missed no payments ; the balance on my account never went above 30 per cent of the credit line ; the balance was fully paid within months of the account closure and amidst a global pandemic. 

I believe that Goldman committed an error in closing my account. I must have been among the first users of Goldmans credit-card service, as my account was opened shortly after they first launched Apple Card in XX/XX/XXXX. Therefore I believe that this situation has arisen due to Goldmans relative inexperience in the consumer credit market. They are compounding their initial error by continuing to send me spam-like messages and ignoring my requests that these cease.

Sub-issue: Problem with customer service

Complaint:
I contacted XXXX about a relocation estimate. They were among several moving companies I contacted for cost and other details about my move from XXXX XXXX, MA to XXXX, OR. I did not solicit their services, but made the mistake of providing them my Capital One credit card details. 

I never contracted with XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX. Instead I contracted with XXXX. They are now managing relocation of my household. 

I originally called Capital One to dispute I found on my mobile app when I found it. That was in middle XX/XX/XXXX. I thought the matter was taken care of ; the dispute had been remediated. Not so, since the bill again emerged onto my account on XX/XX/XXXX. I again called Capital One to inform them I was being billed for a moving service that was never rendered me. That seemed not to matter with the individual in their dispute center with whom I spoke today ( XX/XX/XXXX ). 

Long story, short, I am being charged for a {$1000.00} invoice for a service I never received, which I believe breaches the integrity of the customer/merchant relationship, in which Capital One is duplicitous!

Complaint:
I deposited a check in my Wells Fargo checking account on XXXX XXXX. The check came from my checking account at XXXX. After completing the deposit, I received a message from Wells Fargo that XXXX funds would be held for up to 10 days. The funds were withdrawn from my XXXX account on XXXX XXXX. 

There is no reason for Wells Fargo to hold on my money for so long. This will probably trigger some additional overdrawn fees on my account. I was going to pay down my credit card balance. I was going to pay several bills, but this delay to access my funds means more late charges. 

I would like Wells Fargo to release my funds to me immediately.

Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Complaint:
I am writing to file an official complaint against TransUnion for its failure to respond and take appropriate actions following my dispute letter. On [ Date ], I sent a letter to TransUnion to address the inclusion of alleged school loans on my consumer file, which I firmly believe to be in clear violation of several federal laws, most notably the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ).

In my dispute letter, I specifically referenced the relevant federal statutes, such as 15 U.S. Code 1681, 15 U.S. Code 1681a ( 2 ) Exclusions, 20 USC 1232g ( b ) ( FERPA ), 5 U.S. Code 552a, and 12 CFR 1022.3, highlighting the necessity of obtaining written consent before reporting sensitive information on a consumer file. Despite providing compelling evidence and supporting documentation, I have not received any acknowledgment or indication that TransUnion has initiated an investigation or taken any appropriate actions.

As an informed and vigilant consumer, I firmly assert that credit reporting agencies must adhere unwaveringly to the highest standards of compliance with the law. The unauthorized inclusion of the alleged school loans on my consumer file infringes upon my privacy and consumer rights in a flagrant manner. I have diligently followed the proper dispute procedures, and TransUnion 's lack of response raises serious concerns about its commitment to regulatory adherence.

Therefore, I urgently request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau conduct a thorough investigation into this matter. It is imperative that TransUnion be held accountable for its non-compliance with federal laws, and that appropriate measures be taken to rectify this violation. I demand the immediate removal of the disputed information from my consumer file, and I expect TransUnion to diligently abide by the FCRA and all other applicable laws to ensure the accuracy and fairness of my credit reporting.

Enclosed, I am providing a copy of my original dispute letter and additional documentation, which I believe will be instrumental in your investigation. I have full confidence that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau will treat this complaint with the utmost seriousness and work diligently to protect consumer rights.

I earnestly await a comprehensive and prompt response from the CFPB. Your attention to this critical matter is greatly appreciated. Thank you for your unwavering commitment to safeguarding the rights and interests of consumers like me.

Product: Mortgage

Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage

Complaint:
I have been on COVID-related forbearance plan for more than a year. Last week I contacted my FHA mortgage service provider 's Home Preservation Department ( Wells Fargo ) to walk me through the loss mitigation options that I will be eligible for after the forbearance plan expires. I was told that income documents will be required for the following two loss mitigation options : ( 1 ) COVID-19 Owner-Occupant Loan Modification ( 2 ) COVID-19 Combination Partial Claim and Owner-Occupant Loan Modification. 

My understanding - based on the Mortgage Letter XXXX, dated XX/XX/2021, from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development - is that no income documentation is required from borrowers for the two options stated above. So, I request you to clarify this matter and ensure that Wells Fargo consistently provides accurate information to its distressed borrowers.

Sub-issue: Didn't receive enough information to verify debt

Complaint:
LVNV FUNDING LLC has won a court order against me by default but I never received any mail about it. They did not have my current address on file at the time. 
I was paying {$50.00} per month for an alleged credit card debt owed in the amount of {$1300.00}. Per many inquiries made with the credit bureaus, the company still has not provided proof of validation with my original signature. The information is on my 3 bureau credit reports and is affecting my ability to apply for a loan. 

I ask that the company removes the negative information of my credit reports and refund the money they took from my account for payments, in form of a check. The current balance owed is listed as {$1100.00}.

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:
As of XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX updated my credit report by continuing to report a 90 day late for XX/XX/XXXX. The issue here is that all of my loans were placed in forbearance during the time that the 90 day was reported. 

Facts : XXXX ID # XXXX completed a forbearance on my account that started XX/XX/XXXX and ended on XX/XX/XXXX. 

XXXX ID # XXXX completed another forbearance on my account that started on XX/XX/XXXX. 

A forbearance is a LEGAL AGREEMENT that allows the account holder to temporarily stop making federal student loan payments. 

Later on XX/XX/XXXX a 12 month IDR plan was placed on my account. 

In accordance with The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( The law intended to protect consumers from misinformation being used against them ) XXXX  XXXX XXXX is not in adherence due to reporting a 90 day late on my credit file and continuing to keep reporting it even though they are fully aware that my account was under the XX/XX/XXXX - XX/XX/XXXX forbearance completed by employee ID # XXXX. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX has not provided any information that states that they will report negatively to the credit bureaus while under an approved forbearance. I have faxed in documents, called in, and emailed regarding this issue.
