Consumer complaint received 2025-04-17 00:00:00
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: CT

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to express my deep frustration and disappointment ( with Apple Card by Goldman Sachs ) regarding the handling of my ongoing dispute for {$230.00}. This is now the third time the case has been reopened, despite the fact that I have consistently provided all required and accurate information, including detailed pictures, correspondence, and proof of the products condition. 

I purchased tape-in hair extensions that were of extremely poor quality. Upon receiving them, the hair immediately began to fall apart and shed, making them completely unusable. I documented this with clear, timestamped photographs and offered to return the product as further proof. I still have the extensions in my possession and am willing to send them back. 

Unfortunately, due to the lack of timely and adequate action by Apple Card and Goldman Sachs, I am now well beyond the sellers return window, through no fault of my own. The repeated delays and careless mishandling of this dispute have directly impacted my ability to resolve the issue with the merchant. I provided pictures & information starting XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX & now today XXXX XXXX. 

It is completely unacceptable that Ive had to reopen this dispute multiple times despite following all instructions and providing everything requested. At this point, I expect this matter to be escalated and resolved immediately, with the charge reversed and credited back to my account.

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX. XXXX, XXXX XXXX, LA XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX XXXX XX/XX/year> Experian, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX  XXXX Formal Dispute Regarding Inaccurate Information on My Credit Report Dear Experian, I am writing to formally dispute inaccurate information on my credit report that I believe is harming my financial well-being. I am aware of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act and request a thorough investigation into these inaccuracies, as required by federal law. 
Recently, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau filed a lawsuit against Experian for its failure to properly investigate consumer disputes, citing " sham investigations '' and other unlawful practices. These practices, as outlined by the CFPB, include : Conducting inadequate investigations that fail to address consumer disputes properly. 
Reinserting previously disputed and inaccurate information without explanation. 
Failing to notify consumers about investigation results effectively. 
These allegations highlight systemic issues that directly undermine consumer protections and perpetuate the inclusion of inaccurate information on credit reports. I am deeply concerned that my dispute may be mishandled in a similar manner. Please review the inaccurate Information being reported.
