Complaint narrative:
The company is refusing to send my credit card statements for the year of XXXX They told me numerous times on the phone that the statements are available. However they sent all of my statements except for that year and I've contacted them to asked why and was promised that they will be sent. I've not gotten them. 
Due to a flood of my basement where the documents were kept I don't have the needed proof that I purchased their XXXX lifetime transmission warranty unless I get those statements. I think that's the reason why they are deliberately not sending them.

Company: GOLDMAN SACHS BANK USA
State: NH

Complaint narrative:
I opened a GreenSky Financial account on XX/XX/XXXX which was activated on XX/XX/XXXX. The account was given a {$19000.00} line of credit to pay for a home repair. 

The vendor XXXX XXXX, XXXX submitted a fraudulent charge of {$6500.00} on XX/XX/XXXX which I initially declined approval for. I then spoke to the XXXX  who said they accidentally made an internal billing mistake and credited {$6500.00} and they were just re-charging it but that my balance would NOT increase by {$6500.00} as this was NOT an additional charge it was correcting a deduction on their side of the GreenSky system. XXXX  lied and deceived me into approving this request for payment which increased my balance. I do not owe this amount and assert it is a fraudulent charge. However, GreenSky has failed to take any action whatsoever to adjust this amount off of my balance. They have also denied me the right to remedy my claim with mediation and/or arbitration pursuant to their Bill of Rights. 

I respectfully request assistance with resolving the fraud to my account and having GreenSky correct the actual amount owed to my account. I filed my initial complaint with GreenSky back on XX/XX/XXXX and they have had sufficient time to resolve this matter and have failed to do so. I have already filed complaints with the XXXX, FTC and DOJ for Consumer Affairs.

I submitted proof of my identity ( passport, rental agreement, and renter 's insurance ) to Wells Fargo on XX/XX/2023, who promptly denied my application on XX/XX/2023. I called Wells Fargo on XX/XX/2023 to understand why my application was denied. The Wells Fargo representative stated that my application was rejected because the application had expired on XX/XX/2023. However, the physical letter that was sent to me after my request for reevaluation stated that my application would be open till XX/XX/2023. Despite multiple calls, Wells Fargo was not willing to reopen my credit card application and I was told to start a new application and reapply for the credit card. After this whole process, I have two hard inquiries on my credit report and no credit card to show.

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX XXXX I mailed the next 9 car payments to Honda Financial Services, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX XXXX telephone number XXXX. On XXXX XX/XX/2023 they claimed they never received these payments. I did a stop payment on all 9 payments and mailed them 9 new payments VIA the US Postal Services on XXXX XX/XX/2023 VIA certified mail with signatures required. On XXXX XX/XX/2023 they tried to process the 9 payments dated XXXX XX/XX/2023 ( stop payments already made ). On XXXX XX/XX/2023 they signed for the certified letter containing the next 9 payments. On XXXX XX/XX/2023 they telephoned me asking why I had not made the XXXX payment ( they had the XXXX payment plus the next 8 payments in their office since XXXX XX/XX/2023 ). It took them over 30 minutes to locate these payments and they can't tell me when they are actually going to post these payments. I have excellent credit and I will not allow Honda Financial Services to mess up my credit because they are not processing my car payments in a timely manner. I will NEVER buy another Honda car. They have the worse customer service that I have ever seen, and they do not post your payments for more than a week after they receive them. It appears that they are trying to make their customers have bad credit by not processing payments in a timely manner when they receive them.
