Complaint narrative:

2. Forward all relevant information to furnishers, resulting in incomplete or incorrect dispute resolutions.

3. Properly investigate disputes related to hard inquiries, leaving consumers with inaccurate reports.

I request that Experian : 1. Conduct a full and proper manual reinvestigation of the disputed items.

2. Provide clear documentation of the results of your reinvestigation, specifying any changes made to my report. 
XXXX. Remove all inaccurate or unverifiable information from my report, including the erroneous hard inquiries listed above. 
I have attached all relevant supporting documentation for your reference. In accordance with the FCRA, I expect your response within 30 days of receiving this letter. Please note that failure to comply with federal regulations may result in further actions, including filing a formal complaint with the CFPB and other regulatory authorities. 
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I look forward to receiving a resolution. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX XXXX XXXX

Company: GOLDMAN SACHS BANK USA
State: ND

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a formal complaint against Apple Inc. and Goldman Sachs regarding the limitations placed on the Apple Card. My concerns are as follows : Access Restriction Without Apple Devices : As a holder of an Apple Card issued by Goldman Sachs, I find myself unable to access my digital card number unless I possess an Apple device ( XXXX or XXXX ). The physical card does not display the card number, and customer service has confirmed that the digital card number can not be provided through other means. 

Limited Usability : This restriction effectively limits my ability to use the card for online transactions. While I understand the card is designed to integrate with Apple devices, this policy unfairly penalizes users who do not own or have stopped using Apple products. 

Discriminatory Practice : The practice of restricting access to ones own card number based on device ownership seems discriminatory. It forces consumers to remain within the Apple ecosystem to utilize their line of credit fully, which is unreasonable and restrictive. 

Transparency and Communication : The lack of clear communication regarding these limitations at the time of signing up for the card is concerning. Customers should be fully informed of all limitations and requirements for accessing their card information and benefits.
