Issue: Managing an account — Deposits and withdrawals
Company: GOLDMAN SACHS BANK USA

Complaint narrative:
I had to leave the US sooner than planned and move back to XXXX. I had my savings from my year of working in the US in a Marcus by Goldman Sachs savings account. Upon returning to XXXX, I was awaiting the return of my rental security deposit before transferring all my funds from US bank accounts to my XXXX institutions. 

Once this deposit was returned, I attempted to transfer my Marcus by GS balance ( ~ $ XXXX ) to my ( directly linked and previously used ) XXXX  account so I could then transfer to XXXX. After a few days, the funds had not moved. I checked my Marcus app and the transfer had been reversed. I asked Marcus support what happened and they told me a hold had been placed on my account ( with no communication to me ). 

I called Marcus to resolve this. As I had left the US, I no longer had my US telephone number and Marcus do not have suitable alternative verification methods. They are now withholding my funds from me with zero detail on how I can get them back. The latest interaction finished with me being told to call them back in 1-3 business days to see if there are new instructions.

Company: Aqua Finance, Inc.

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX I opened an account with XXXX XXXX company for a water softner/reverse osmosis system for my home in XXXX XXXX  . I was financed through Aqua Finance company and paid {$110.00} every month ; this was directly debited from my checking account until it stopped coming out in XX/XX/XXXX. I was told the direct withdrawal would stop once paid. The original amount of financing was {$6600.00}. As of XX/XX/XXXX I paid {$5200.00} which would leave a balance of {$1400.00}. On my credit report it states that I still owe {$3700.00}. When I called Aqua Finance to get an explanation, and to tell them I would pay off the amount owed or they could have the water softner back, they said they didnt want it back because it was old and wasnt working anymore, and that i still owed {$3700.00}. I asked for a detailed explanation and offered to pay the {$1400.00} and they said no. They also would not fix it. I moved to XXXX  and left it there in XXXX  so I no longer even have the broken device. When I called XXXX XXXX XXXX  they said it was paid for and I could take it with me when I moved and they would even come to my house and box it up for me.

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 on my XXXX XXXX  account [ XXXX ]. 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 a

s they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law. "

Company: MARINER FINANCE, LLC
State: TN

Complaint narrative:
I had a loan with Mariner that unfortunately fell delinquent. I logged into my online account on XX/XX/XXXX, which showed active, and made a payment of {$100.00}. This information was not provided or updated with the credit bureau. I was then served a court summons a few days later being sued by Mariner, I found out Mariner had not reported the payment to their attorney either. The attorney also informed me Mariner was not supposed to take my payment and my account should be showing closed, apparently it was closed in XXXX but showed open through XXXX? I noticed my loan balance on my online account showed {$6500.00} but credit and their attorney show almost XXXX? So was the judgement issued for the right amount in court? Why does my account still show open? How was my payment applied to the balance because I paid the attorney {$320.00} on XX/XX/XXXX because they said mariner required a payment and a half but credit report only shows I paid {$200.00}? Also, credit report balance still shows higher, after mariner changed it initially when I disputed it advising it was the wrong amount. I feel they are reporting incorrect amounts, wrong account status, filing judgement on open accounts. Are they keeping the account in open status to charge more interest and not take a hit to portfolio so delinquency on the front end stays low?

Company: CNG HOLDINGS INC

Complaint narrative:
This company XXXX XXXX XXXX  contacted me yesterday and today, claiming they are from an attorneys office. The woman I spoke with, claimed that they are going to garnish my wages from a past owed debt from four years ago. This woman had almost all of my personal information, including my drivers license number. I questioned how my wages could be garnished when we never went to court & she told me, we don't have to go to court to garnish your wages and told me if I didn't make the settlement payment, or make a payment plan, they would be contacting my employer for the wage detachment. I know this is incredibly inaccurate and told her so, as no creditor can do that without going to court, under federal law. I asked her to send it to me in writing what the debt was and the garnishment information. She said she would email it to me " as a courtesy '', another thing that struck me as odd, as they are required to send me the information by mail, as per federal law. I told her I wasn't paying anything until I seen the papers. They called me from this number ( XXXX ) XXXX. But the person I spoke with on the phone said her direct number is ( XXXX ) XXXX. She told me if I didn't make a payment within 3 hours, my employer would be notified. It was scary how legitimate she sounded. 
They said they were collecting on a debt from Tempo LLC from XXXX, which is also 4 years old. I live in the state of XXXX  and the statute of limitations has run out.

We have requested Proof of Damages multiple times and the Property Management has refused to honor these requests. Without any proof of damages our renters insurance policy will not pay out on the claim. The subfloor of the apartment was destroyed by a busted hvac unit that leaked all over the apartment that took weeks to fix so they may be falsely trying to claim " pet damage '' to replace the subfloor. We have requested proof of damages for the renters insurance company multiple times and they are unwilling or perhaps unable to supply proof of damages. Therefore, our liability coverage is unable to cover the " pet damages ''.
