Product: Checking or savings account — Savings account
Issue: Closing an account — Can't close your account
Company: GOLDMAN SACHS BANK USA
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/2023 I opened a savings account with Marcus by Goldman Sachs. I transferred {$720.00} from my XXXX XXXX XXXX  savings account, and {$420.00} from my XXXX XXXX XXXX checking account. This gave me a balance of XXXX. Shortly after, I realized I had a purchase I needed to make, so I decided to transfer {$150.00} back into my checking account. I tried to initiate the transfer, but after 2 business days, it was reversed and my account was locked. 

I called to see what was going on with my account, and was told that the funds had not settled, and I had to wait a week for them to verify the money I had deposited into the bank. 

I did not like the fact that my funds were not available immediately like at my previous bank, so I made the decision to close my account. I have been trying to do so for almost two weeks now and they refuse to give me my money back. 

The first time I tried to close my account, I once again called late at night and was told that there was a hold on my account, and the department that needed to lift it hold was closed, and that I would have to wait until morning to call again. I called that morning and was told that I had to once again wait for my funds to settle in order for me to close my account. 

Once the funds had settled, I tried to transfer {$1100.00} ( my entire balance ) out of the Marcus account back into my XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and the transfer was reversed again and my account was once again locked. I called to figure out what the issue was and was told that the department I needed to be transferred to was closed. 

I once again called that morning and was transferred to a specialist who was supposed to be able to manually close my account, and give me back my money. After speaking to her, she said that the funds had to be divided and sent back to the respective accounts they came from.She lifted the hold and I sent two transfers out of Marcus to those accounts. Today I checked the update on the transfers and theyve once again been reversed, and my account is locked again. Im fed up and I am considering this as fraud and a blatant refusal to give me back my money. 

Ive read in some places and have been told over the phone that there is a 90 day limit to withdrawal money, but if thats the case then 1, why does it say I have available funds in the amount of {$1100.00}, and 2, why was this not disclosed when opening the account.

Complaint narrative:
*COMPLAINT FOR NO RESPONSE IN 30-DAYS REQUIRED UNDER FCRA LAW Subject : Complaint against Equifax for Violation of FCRA Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to file a formal complaint against Equifax regarding their non-compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and their failure to respond to my request for validation of incorrect information on my credit report within the mandated time frame. 

On XXXX XXXX, XXXX, I sent a letter to Equifax via certified mail, requesting them to validate the inaccuracies being reported on my credit. According to the FCRA, the credit reporting agency is required to respond to my request within 30 days. However, I have not received any response from Equifax, despite the certified mail receipts clearly indicating that they received my letter. 

This failure to respond within the specified timeframe constitutes a violation of the FCRA by Equifax. As a consumer, I have the right to receive timely and accurate information from credit reporting agencies, as outlined in Sections 611 ( a ) and 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) of the FCRA. 

I am now requesting the assistance of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau in investigating this matter and taking appropriate action against Equifax. The failure to respond undermines my rights as a consumer and hinders my ability to rectify the inaccuracies on my credit report. 

I kindly request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau intervene to ensure that Equifax complies with the FCRA and promptly provides me with the requested validation of inaccurate information. Furthermore, I ask that Equifax be instructed to remove the incorrect account from my credit report, as mandated by the FCRA due to their failure to respond within the required timeframe. 

Enclosed with this letter, you will find copies of the certified mail receipts as proof of Equifax 's receipt of my request for validation. If any additional documentation or information is necessary to proceed with the investigation, please let me know, and I will provide it promptly. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I trust that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau will diligently address this violation by Equifax and ensure that my rights as a consumer are upheld. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
On the XXXX of XXXX, I lost my credit card in XXXX XXXX, Nevada. I did not realize that this was the case until WellsFargo contacted me notifying me of potentially fraudulent activity. I looked, and yes, it was. In fact, XXXX XXXX  had been trying to charge my card over and over. I closed card, and ordered a new one. I filed a claim, and this involved being on the phone for long amounts of time on hold, a rude customer service rep questioning me like I'm a criminal, and being placed on hold indefinitely. I received a letter in the mail saying my claim was denied because I " did not provide information '' despite wasting hours of my life providing the same info over and over. Now I am on hold again because XXXX the customer service rep has told me that this charge for a cleaning service was legit, and I'm being transferred yet again. 

Manager : " XXXX '' says " hard denial '' of claim despite the ridiculousness of it. I have no reason to charge for a cleaning service on vacation. Especially after the bank itself flagged it.
