Company: GOLDMAN SACHS BANK USA (MD)

Made a I made a purchase on XX/XX/04 using my apple credit card and its been down hill ever since. I reported the charge because the merchant canceled my order but i never received a refund for the {$490.00}. I disputed it within a couple days and i was given a provisional credit which i have no access to. So the credit i was given was basically a fake credit that i cant use. They said itll take 90 days to get my credit back. 90 is is ridiculous considering i have proof of the cancellation, But why issue a credit i cant use? A Provisional credit is a temporary credit issued from a financial institution into your bank account. It's often used in situations where a transaction has not been verified or is being disputed. Obviously Apple/GS Bank doesnt know how a P.C should work. XX/XX/XXXX i raised a dispute, here it is 30+ days later and I havent received an update or anything and i still dont have my money back. I spoke to several different people and theyre all clueless. They were unprofessional, i told A CSR that the merchant agreed to a cancellation of the order and the rep tried to get me to close the dispute and work it out myself. Their investigative practices are terrible. Its not fair how they arent investigating anything and i dont have my money put back onto my card.

I was trying to purchase my first home and I decided to go through a first-time homeowners program because I needed help with the process. They pulled my credit to see where I was standing with my score. As they reviewed my report, they told me I had some derogatory items on my report. These suspicious accounts on my report are not mine. They are fraudulent and need to be removed. I never applied for these items.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL (OH)

On XXXX XXXX, 2023 I went to Lowes to look at purchasing a Lawn Mower. When I was at checkout the cashier suggested I apply for a credit card and Id get around {$100.00} off of the items I was buying, including a lawn mower. After entering my information the cashier said she got a message they couldnt complete the transaction and they would follow up via mail with the credit decision, which sounded odd to me. Ultimately I received an adverse action notice in the mail. It stated I was declined as the credit reporting agencies indicated I was deceased. I immediately ordered credit reports from all three reporting agencies and none of the showed me as deceaseds I contract Syncrony Bank, the institution who rendered the credit decision and sent me the adverse action letter. I noted that Synchrony had pulled my credit, there is an inquiry from them on my reports. They said that my social security number was off by one digit which caused the issues. My problem is that they pulled my credit, they had to have the proper information to do that. Why would they send me an adverse action thats says I am deceased? When I questioned the rep from asynchrony they suggested I return to the store where I submitted my application and ask to resubmit it with correct social security number. The problem I have is they sent me a totally bogus adverse action reason to decline my request. When questioned about the fact that they did see my credit report and that I knew sending invalid reasons for declining an application is a violation of regulations, they shrugged it off and sent me back to the store. I want my credit report inquiry removed since they didnt use that information anyway. I dont want their card at this point as I dont trust the organization making the credit decisions. I also want them addressed on violating federal regulations related to consumer credit and with how non-caring the rep, and a supervision as I asked to speak with a super visor during my call to Synchrony, it appears they dont see any issue with what this experience was for me, the consumer..

On ( XX/XX/2023 ) I sent a letter regarding inaccurate Late payments, inaccurate negative accounts, bankruptcies and unknown things on my credit report. To this day over 60 days later I have not received a response yet. feel like i'm being taken advantage of and being ignored of my disputes. Section 611 ( a ) it is plainly stated that failure to investigate these items within 30 days gives a reason to immediately remove those negative items from my credit report as well as correct my late payments as paid on time. It has been over 60 days so they should be corrected promptly. I demand these negative accounts be deleted & correct late payments as paid on time immediately or I will file for litigation due to the stress you caused me. My information was also impacted by the XXXX data breach and may have got into the hands of the wrong person.

Unresolved Identity Theft Incident Resulting in Fraudulent Charges and Credit Report Discrepancies Dear CFPB Agents I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to express my deep concern and frustration over fraudulent activity that has adversely impacted my credit report. 

A few months ago, I fell victim to an identity theft incident wherein my XXXX login credentials were stolen and subsequently disseminated on dark web markets. This breach led to unauthorized charges on all the cards linked to my Apple Wallet, including a particularly significant fraudulent charge on my XXXX Credit Card issued by XXXX XXXX. 

The account details for the fraudulent charges are as follows : Account Name : XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX Account Number : XXXX The total unauthorized charges on this account alone exceeded {$100000.00}. 

Upon discovering these fraudulent activities, I promptly filed reports with both the local police department and the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ). Copies of these reports were forwarded to the major credit bureaus Experian, XXXX, and XXXX as part of my dispute process. 

Despite my earnest efforts to resolve this issue and numerous disputes submitted, I regret to inform you that these credit bureaus have yet to adequately address my concerns. Not only has their response time significantly exceeded the 30-day period stipulated by law, but I also believe that a thorough investigation into my case has not been carried out. Consequently, the fraudulent XXXX card is still unjustly affecting my credit report. 

Given the severity of this issue, I am now turning to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) in the hope that you can facilitate a proper investigation into this matter. I am keen to get this fraudulent XXXX card removed from my credit report promptly to prevent further damage to my financial wellbeing. 

Thank you for your attention to this pressing issue. I am looking forward to your prompt response and assistance in resolving this matter. 

Yours sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX  XXXX Date of Birth : XX/XX/1976 SS # : XXXX My phone number is ( XXXX ) XXXX

Issue: Closing an account — Funds not received from closed account
Company: CITIBANK, N.A. (IA)

I opened a savings account with Citibank in response to a marketing promotion promising a {$450.00} payment for maintaining {$50000.00} or more for 60-days. I opened the account and deposited {$70000.00} on XX/XX/2023. I maintained the {$70000.00}, but it was not until the XX/XX/2023 statement that the {$450.00} was paid ( 90-days after opening ). As other institutions now offer higher rates, I opted to close the account. While Citi readily accepts ACH deposits, when an account is closed they promise to send a check within 10 to 15 " business days '' ( i.e. it could be over 20-days )! While I could transfer funds to another Citi account or Citi partner account for free, I would have to pay {$50.00} in wire fees to send the funds to my bank ( Citi applies a maximum {$50000.00} wire limit, so two wires would be necessary ).

I believe it's both marketing fraud and a malicious business practice to offer an " easy open '', promise a bonus ( {$450.00} ), but then require 120 days to " actually '' get the benefits. Why not ACH the funds to my bank account from which the funds were origionally sent? Citi can easily do this, but wants to diminish my yield by not giving me my money back. I won't be doing business with Citi again and think they should be held accountable for their deceptive business practices.
