Complaint narrative:
I called Marcus by Goldman Sachs on XX/XX/XXXX because I changed my phone number and was unable to update it in the app. I offered to verify my identity with my email, passport, or other documents, but was told they needed my old phone number ( which I no longer have access to ) or an American driver 's license ( which I do not have ). They created a case and promised to call me within 3-7 business days, but I never received a call. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I received an email stating that my phone number had been changed, which was incorrect as the old number remained. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I called again after accidentally transferring {$3000.00} from my checking to my savings account, which drained my checking account. I tried to transfer the money back, but it was placed on hold. I was again asked to verify my identity using my old phone number, which I repeated that I no longer had access to. They created another case and again promised a call in 3-7 business days, which I never received. 

Today, on XX/XX/XXXX, I called again and was transferred between five different representatives. The last person informed me that a document had been emailed to me ( which I never received ) and to wait 7-10 business days. I am still unable to access my funds, and this situation has become an emergency as I currently have no access to my money. 

Thank you for your assistance.
