Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am writing to file a complaint against the consumer credit reporting agencies for violations of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and my right to privacy. 

On XX/XX/23, I submitted a dispute to The XXXX Major Credit reporting Agencies XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX regarding items on my credit report. I have attached the documents sent as proof! 
According to the FCRA, consumer credit reporting agencies are required to investigate disputes and respond within 30 days. However, They have failed to respond within this time frame, thereby violating my rights under the FCRA. 

Furthermore, I believe that the consumer credit reporting agencies have violated my right to privacy by reporting an account without my permission or written instructions. They did not provide me with any disclosures prior to reporting this account, which is also a violation of my rights under the FCRA. 

As a result of these violations, I have suffered significant harm to my credit standing and overall financial well-being. I request that the consumer credit reporting agencies be held accountable for their actions and that appropriate measures be taken to ensure that my rights are protected in the future. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Company: GOLDMAN SACHS BANK USA (NY)

Apple / Goldman Sachs has a security issue whereby the following : 1 ) Apple cards MUST ONLY be applied for with the use of an apple device 2 ) Apple DOES NOT prompt for the XXXX ID to use to register ( if using a company or other phone to apply for a card ) for the card in question 3 ) The card can not be re-assigned WITHOUT first de-activating the card and going through the approval process again which hurts the credit of the person opening/closing the account. 

Furthermore, the process stated above once the card is in fact stuck in a hijacked or taken over apple account that a user can no longer log into ( e.g : password change, email change, security question change, sim jacking, etc. ) the user is at the mercy of the crediting agency and can not change to a different ID or even recover the account. 

This causes multiple problems from a security standpoint and a credit protection standpoint. Additionally, there are NO online tools to protect or secure the account outside of the Apple ecosystem. So, if your phone or device without proper hardware is breached you are left in a state of suspense to secure or freeze the account. 

These practices are unfair to hard working Americans that large companies are taking advantage of and leveraging technology against them in order to impact ones credit with force closing and re-opening accounts. Please investigate.
