Complaint narrative:
Hi, I recently received email from XXXX offering me a 24 month Experian identityworks membership due to an XXXX data breach. The email says Ensure that you enroll by XX/XX/year> ( Your code will not work after this date. ) However, when I tried to enroll on XX/XX/year> I receive an Invalid Activation Code error. I immediately called the Experian customer service number XXXX and the Experian representative told me by XX/XX/year> meant I had to enroll by XX/XX/year> and there was nothing she could do for me. Clearly the terms of the letter includes XX/XX/year> and It was wrong for Experian identity works to deny my activation code and wrong for the customer service agent to fail to assist me. 

This complaint is being made on XX/XX/year>.

Issue: Trouble using your card — Can't use card to make purchases
Company: ALLY FINANCIAL INC.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
I currently have a major credit card through Ally. It seems as though my transactions are limited, depending on certain merchants. They are not allowing a transaction to go through because they categorize the merchant as high risk. At this point, they can categorize any merchant as high risk and prevent me from using my actual credit card. Not being able to make purchases on my investment account is costing time and money. They tried to override the system and my card is still is not able to be used. I plan on taking a trip in the summertime, and I do not want my card to be declined because Ally decided to put certain companies on a higher risk. Im asking that you have them fixed their policies so us as consumers can use our resources as we wish

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: OR

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/, I requested a wire transfer of {$75000.00} from my Wells Fargo account to a foreign account with a XXXX XXXX address. I am requesting that Wells Fargo deposit the this amount back into my account. 

I was led to believe that this account was legitimate, but I later learned that is was a scam. I have a copy of the wire transfer document. I have since learned that in fraudulent wire transfers, the party most Courts rule that the party in the best position to discover the fraud should bear the loss. Clearly, Wells Fargo is better equipped to identify fraud. 

XXXX attorney 's opinion You are right about the bank saying that this is their policy on all wire transfers. So it means that for your case they behaved exactly as they do with all the other cases - just formally, nothing else. And in XXXX out of XXXX transfers ( approximately of course ) it is a good legitimate transfer. So they don`t bother to do a detailed check. But your case was namely that XXXX transfer that they could stop and prevent you from losing your money. 
It wouldn`t take a long time for them. Just about XXXX minutes to understand this is a scam. If they didn`t speak to you if they didn`t ask you any detailed questions if they didn`t tell you something like " sir, we are sure that this is a scamming scheme, this company has no license, their website is only 3 months old, scam advisor rate is lower than 10 %, we definitely not recommend you to send them money '' then they didn`t do their job 100 %, and there are good chances to point them on their mistakes and get you compensation.

Company: GOLDMAN SACHS BANK USA
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Apple routinely charges me interest after I have already submitted my full statement balance because they do not send you your billing statement until after the end of your billing cycle, despite making the statement due date just before the billing statement is sent out to you. It seems as though Apple has structured their payment systems so that you are always late or overdue. For example, I have a recurring billing charge for an XXXX I purchased using their XXXX zero-interest payment option however, that monthly payment doesn't appear as a charge on my billing statement until after that month 's bill is due. This means that at the end of XX/XX/XXXX, my Apple card statement doesn't show my recurring charge but on XX/XX/XXXX it will show, and it will now be recorded as an outstanding balance because it wasn't paid before the end of my billing cycle, which is XX/XX/XXXX. This discrepancy has caused me to owe apple interest fees every single month despite always paying off my full statement balance as shown in their credit card app.
