Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. " I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

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: NV

Complaint narrative:
I notified the Apple Card XXXX Goldman Sachs team as soon as I noticed many fraudulent charges made on my account in XX/XX/XXXX. It is apparent the account was hacked and there was a XXXX  of unauthorized charges made between roughly XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. 

I've only been able to exchange information with the Apple Card team via chat - I do not see a phone number and they refuse to share documents with me via email. I've had at least four lengthy chat exchanges regarding these fraudulent charges. The Apple Card team corrected some of the fraudulent charges but not all of them. While still unresolved, the Apple Card team collected a payment this month for {$720.00}. It appears they reversed several provisional credits related to this fraudulent activity and have now collected these funds from my bank account. I have shared photos of my XX/XX/XXXX statement with all 36 fraudulent charges marked by hand in pen. 

After multiple requests ( via chat ) to escalate my case to their Fraud Department Supervisor, they refuse to explain why I should be responsible for these charges. The Apple Card representative today ( XX/XX/XXXX ) could not explain what they think I purchased for {$720.00} and when they think I made these purchases. This representative ( XXXX ) abruptly ended our chat so I am turning to the CFPB for assistance. 

The only charges I have authorized on this credit card account since XX/XX/XXXX have been my monthly {$2.00} iCloud service fee. I explained this to the Apple Card representative as well. 

Please return the funds the Apple Card team transferred from my bank to cover the cost of these fraudulent charges.
