Complaint narrative:
I previously submitted Complaint # XXXX on XX/XX/year>, regarding XXXX violations of federal privacy law and unauthorized access to my student loan records. As of XX/XX/year>, the company has not responded, and I have received no follow-up from the CFPB.

Company: GOLDMAN SACHS BANK USA
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
I recently had a dispute resolved in my favor which resulted in a positive balance on my Apple Credit Card. It is a significant amount which was {$27000.00}. I requested a balance refund on XX/XX/XXXX directly through support with Apple Card. 

Since XX/XX/XXXX, my Apple Card has been closed due to agreement violations. I checked in multiple times regarding the credit balance refund and was informed I would still get it within the stated 8-10 business days. Once 10 business days passed I was informed the refund was under review. After review I was informed the refund was re-initiated would take another 8-10 business days. Finally I was informed the refund would be completed by XX/XX/XXXX at the latest. When I checked on the refund since I still have not received it, I was told it was still being worked on. At what point does getting a refund of a positive balance of that amount become unreasonable and not a timely manner. 

Per CFBPs website, ( 2 ) Refund any part of the remaining credit balance within seven business days from receipt of a written request from the consumer. 

I have made multiple written requests and made phone calls. Goldman Sachs and Apple support is never able to provide any useful information and just states it is being reviewed or worked on.

I am writing to file a formal complaint against the major credit reporting agenciesTransUnion, Experian, and Equifaxregarding persistent inaccuracies in my credit reports dated XX/XX/XXXX. Despite my relentless efforts to have these errors corrected, they remain unresolved. 

The specific inaccuracies are as follows : * * TransUnion : * * - Name : Recorded as " XXXX XXXX XXXX '' and " XXXX XXXX '' - Date of Birth : Correctly listed as XX/XX/XXXX - Current Address : XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX - Previous Addresses and Employer Information : Accuracy issues noted * * Experian : * * - Name : Recorded as " XXXX XXXX XXXX '' - Date of Birth : Incomplete, simply listed as XXXX - Current Address : Correctly listed as XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX - Missing former address details * * Equifax : XXXX * - Name : Recorded as " XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX - Date of Birth : Correctly listed as XX/XX/XXXX - Current Address : Correctly listed as XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  - Incorrectly listed a previous address : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX These discrepancies violate my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, particularly sections 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) regarding the accuracy requirements imposed on credit reporting agencies, and they have caused significant inconvenience and distress. 

I have been tirelessly trying to get TransUnion, Experian, and Equifax to correct these errors, but they have not fulfilled their responsibilities. I am requesting your intervention to ensure these inaccuracies are promptly rectified, as their ongoing presence on my credit report is unjust and could be harmful. 

Please see the attached documentation, which includes my correspondence with the credit agencies and any supporting evidence. Your assistance in helping resolve these persistent errors would be invaluable.

Complaint narrative:
I am formally disputing the following negative items on my credit report.

Despite multiple attempts to have these inaccuracies properly investigated and resolved, no meaningful action has been taken. I have submitted all required documentation and followed up repeatedly, yet the errors persist. This ongoing lack of action has caused undue financial hardship and has significantly affected my well-being. The mental and emotional toll of dealing with these unresolved discrepancies has been overwhelming.

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I am entitled to a fair and accurate credit report, including the removal of unverifiable or incorrect information. I urge you to take immediate steps to verify and rectify these items, as failure to do so constitutes a violation of my rights under federal law.
