Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement
Company: GOLDMAN SACHS BANK USA
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I boarded the XXXX ship for a cruise on XX/XX/XXXX. Each day, I tipped cash to each of the servers/wait staff, room attendants, and food prep staff -- as recommended by users on XXXX who said that putting cash in their hands is the only way to guarantee that the actual staff receives the tips, as opposed to the auto-gratuity method where XXXX likely steals the tips without giving it to the staff. 

Having already tipped amply in cash, I went to the ship counter on the last night to have the " auto gratuity '' charge removed from my bill. The counter assistant agreed and said he would take care of removing the " auto gratuity '' from my final ship statement, and that I have no charges left to pay. 

Evidently, he did not take it off, and I was charged on my credit card. Unacceptable. 

The gratuity is optional and I want to be refunded. 

I had back and forth emails with XXXX XXXX XXXX customer support, and they refused to refund me. I disputed the charge on my Apple credit card, and they disregarded me. This is unfair and I need a refund.

Company: Chime Financial Inc
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
This complaint concerns the XXXX Bank XXXX inaccurately reporting on my XXXX credit file. This account has been repeatedly changed, reopened, re-aged, and updated with contradictory balances and statuses for months, despite Chime/Strides own prior written confirmation ( CFPB Case XXXX. XXXX ) that my balance was {$0.00}. 

XXXX  has repeatedly reported conflicting information, including : Different opened dates, Switching the account to current, paid, past due, and XXXX  days late, Re-adding amounts after a confirmed {$0.00} balance, Posting updates without any lawful basis. 

These are material contradictions, and TransUnion has failed to maintain maximum possible accuracy, violating FCRA 602, 607 ( b ), 611, and 623.

Based on these contradictions and the repeated unauthorized re-aging and re-reporting, I filed an FTC Identity Theft Report ( attached ). Under FCRA 605B, TransUnion is required to block and delete this tradeline within XXXX business days of receiving this report. 

Today is XXXX, XX/XX/year>, which means the statutory deadline for deletion is XXXX, XX/XX/year>.

Complaint narrative:
My name is XXXX XXXX XXXX and this is not a XXXX party filing this complaint. am writing to express my concerns regarding the investigation practices of the XXXX major credit bureaus : Experian, TransUnion, and Equifax. Many consumers, including myself, have experienced significant difficulties when dealing with inaccuracies in our credit reports and the subsequent investigations launched by these bureaus. 

Despite the Fair Credit Reporting Act requiring that these agencies conduct fair and thorough investigations into disputes, the reality has often been different. There are numerous reports from consumers suggesting that the investigation process is neither thorough nor transparent. Many disputes receive cursory reviews, with inadequate attention given to supporting evidence provided by consumers.
