Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Unable to get your credit report or credit score
Sub-issue: Other problem getting your report or credit score

Complaint:
I XXXX XXXX XXXX have been dealing with a credit bureau ( s ) issue for over one-year. The problem resides in my inability to obtain a credit FICO score on XXXX  XXXX  and Equifax  respectfully. In addition, there are no registered accounts on any of these bureaus except there is account information posted on my XXXX  credit report. There is a possibility that at one time a fraud alert was posted on both bureaus, but that should not block my creditors from posting my account information and payment histories o each bureau. Accordingly, I am requesting a full reinvestigation from each credit reporting agency and each account trade line to guarantee that soon I will be able to have a FICO score with each bureau. Therefore, my complaint is two-fold : 1 ) I request a full review from each creditor to check the status of my account, and to submit to each respective bureau the criteria such as date account opened, account balance, and most importantly account payment history. 
2 ) I request a review from XXXX XXXX and Equifax the reason why there is a block on my bureau information, and a release for each creditor to post the aforementioned criteria monthly.

Company: GOLDMAN SACHS BANK USA
State: PA
Product: Checking or savings account
Sub-product: Savings account
Issue: Managing an account
Sub-issue: Problem accessing account

Complaint:
Company : Goldman Sachs Bank USA Issue : This company is intentionally limiting the manner in which I can access my own account data. I use XXXX XXXX for budgeting purposes and this platform provides significant support in my pursuit for financial wellbeing and effective money management. GS Bank unilaterally made the decision to block XXXX 's access to any GS Bank account data, which prevents me from accessing my savings account data in the XXXX platform. This causes me to have an erroneous view of my holistic finances, which can lead to my making decisions that will be detrimental to my finances. 

The access denial is not even across the board for all aggregators. GS Bank permits XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) to access account data while they refuse XXXX 's access to the very same data. I contacted GS Bank on XX/XX/XXXX requesting that they stop blocking XXXX 's access. They provided no response to me and did not lift the block. I sent another follow up message on XX/XX/XXXX and have, again, received no response and still am unable to connect with my account data through XXXX XXXX. 

I am closing my account with GS Bank on account of this and request that the CFPB investigate the unsound practices at GS Bank based on no identifiable logic whatsoever. Furthermore, I would like to see stronger guidance from the CFPB pertaining to aggregation and consumer access to data. I am fully aware of the risks that I incur by sharing my credentials with aggregators ; however, this is my decision to make and it is my accounts from which money might be moved should malicious actors breach an aggregator 's security and obtain user credentials. I knowingly accept these risks because the personal financial management benefits I get from aggregation services far outweigh the risks in my current financial situation. Ideally, the CFPB will mandate that all financial institutions over a certain size ( that are therefore financial capable of building out the necessary infrastructure ) implement oAuth and API-based data sharing so that customers like me can more securely access their data on their terms in the places they want to. 

Consumers beware, GS Bank thinks they know better than you what is best for your financial wellbeing. Or worse, they do not care about helping you achieve financial wellbeing and care only about limiting their potential liability, even though this can be done through terms and conditions presented to customers.

Complaint:
I applied for a loan online and was approved for 3 options. XXXX, however I needed more so I didn't accept the terms and left them open. The next day I received an email saying That I could reach out to the branch if the offer did not meet my needs. So I reached out to the branch they came back with XXXX but I had to use my car as a collateral. I refused and said I wanted to take the previous offer. Now they are telling me that that offer isn't available since I reached out to the branch and I would have to wait XXXX. This was a classic bait and switch. It puts people in horrible situation where if you are in need you either offer your car up or get nothing because you inquired at the branch. There is no warning given and now I'm stuck.

Complaint:
I disputed an inaccurate account with all three credit bureaus ( Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX  ) and none of them took into consideration the proof that I sent in along with the dispute. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX is inaccurately reporting an account with different last payment dates and payment history to all three bureaus. Even during the process of disputing XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX continued to change the payment history on all three bureaus, yet still none match up with accurate and CONSISTENT information. It is by law that any information reporting to any Credit Bureau is accurate and consistent. None of these Credit Bureaus properly investigated this claim and I would like this account deleted as soon as possible as they are consistently changing information and damaging my credit.
