Delete this account XXXX, XXXX ( Original Creditor : XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX ) because this is not my account. I have never done any business with this company. I do not know who they are. This company associated with this account does not have any contract with my signature. I Have no relation whatsoever to this company and all parties involved with whoever they are. This accounts information doesn't even make since, EXPERIAN has the open date as XX/XX/XXXX for first delinquency but update as an actual collection on XX/XX/XXXX and as stated earlier I have never spoken to them, never heard them, and never made contact with them because I have no reason as it is not mine. I received no mail about this account which after looking to advice in the CFPB database was supposed to happen in a set amount time .... It is clear it has been furnished in error. As such This account has caused me financial hardship during a recession and as I prepare for a wedding no less.

Company: GOLDMAN SACHS BANK USA
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
My credit card account was originally with XXXX ( XXXX XXXX ) XXXX XXXX. Then Goldman Sachs took them over. 
I had a {$14.00} balance on the account. On XX/XX/2022, I attempted to pay off the balance. I made a phone payment and the agent said that they payment had been received. On XX/XX/XXXX, I got an email saying the the payment had NOT been received. 
On XX/XX/XXXX, I attempted again to make the payment, with the same result : The agent told me that the payment had bee received but a few days later, on XX/XX/XXXX, I got an email saying the payment had NOT gone through. 
Now I am being charged overdue fines because in Goldman 's eyes, I did not make the payment. I have spoken with their customer service department a couple of times and during one of theses conversations, the agent told me that they could not waive the late fees, and that somebody would call me about it. However, I live overseas, so getting through to me can be a bit of a challenge, so perhaps they DID try to reach me and couldn't get through ; I acknowledge that that is a possibility. 
In my last conversation with an agent ( Wednesday, XX/XX/XXXX ), they told me that they would try to dispute the late fees ( which is kind of odd, since this is an intra-agency dispute ) and that it would take time, so much time that ANOTHER late payment fee would probably be added in the meantime. I asked how much of a payment I would need to make to avoid this and was given a figure of at least {$80.00} ( I don't remember the precise number ). I told the agent that I didn't think this was fair at all, and that I thought Goldman was engaging in predatory practices, and that I would NOT pay.

Complaint narrative:
Hello, I have been banking for XXXX century. I have used many different banks in different states and different countries. Never has a banking experience domestic or abroad, resulted in the police calling me. 

Today at approximately XXXX I made an impromptu stop Citizen 's Bank XXXX XXXX XXXX I needed cash and didn't want to go to XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX which was further away. I intentionally do not carry a debit card for all of accounts. Citizen 's is one of those accounts. This has never been a problem at any location I have gone to. In fact, I rarely use my local branch where I opened the account, and when I do use them, I only use an ID. My experiences with using the ID has NEVER been met with the bias I experienced today. 

I presented my ID to XXXX. I explained I didn't have my debit card, and wanted to make a withdrawal. I told her I had XXXX accounts, and I wanted to check on the balance before decdeing how much to remove. I infomed her that XXXX balance was {$2400.00}, but I wasn't sure about the other. She looked at my lines and stated, " People from XXXX do not usually make withdrawals in XXXX. Are you conducting business in the area? '' Never has my address been an issue in any bank outside of my residence. Why was this a sudden pre-requisite. 

She proceeded to ask me question following " policy '' to protect my account. The questions seemed endless : XXXX. When was the last deposit, who made the deposit, what was the amount, where did I open the account, address of where the account was opened .... 

I stated this was excessive and I felt this was clear profiling. This was a new experience and unsettling experience. Rather than withdraw I was shutting down my account. She would not cooperate. I went to the manager. I was irate. I stated I would not leave without my money. If you refuse, feel free to call the police. 

HE DID. 

They came. This made me more irate. 

He still would not shut down my account. 

He did ask me more questions : Last 4 digits of my SS, middle name... 

He still would not give me my money. I spoke with him afterwards and he had the audacity to say he wanted to preserve the relationship. 

This was a crazy encounter. Bias was obvious from the very beginning.

Company: GOLDMAN SACHS BANK USA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX I purchased an XXXX XXXX   with XXXX XXXX via XXXX for store pickup using my Apple Card issued by Goldman Sachs. I realized immediately upon receiving confirmation email that I ordered the wrong model. I cancelled the transaction and placed a subsequent order for the right model. I then proceeded to pick up correct model but noticed that my transaction for the first order was never reversed from my card. The total amount was {$190.00}. I disputed the transaction on XX/XX/XXXX ( XXXX ) when I thought was a reasonable time for the refund to occur. You can reference the XXXX with the order details and my email and see that they state the order was cancelled. Apple representatives said it was not an issue on their side but revert back to Apple Card Support. I received word on XX/XX/XXXX that the transaction was not resolved in my favor. I again attempted to resolve through several calls both with Apple directly as well as with Apple Card Support aka Goldman Sachs. The dispute was reopened on the XXXX of XXXX ( XXXX ). I followed up several times via chat and phone again only to be notified on XX/XX/XXXX that the transaction was not resolved in my favor despite providing all the documentation with screen shots of the website proving I never received the order. I again, reopened a dispute ( XXXX ) and talked for hours to their customer support. They confirmed it all sounded logical and assured me that it would be taken care of this time. On XX/XX/XXXX I received word of a split decision and they found I somehow still owed {$120.00} due to the fact they had credited me for the XXXX XXXX for {$31.00}. I again opened a dispute ( XXXX ) but had already cancelled the card ( which I was worried would impact my credit rating ). Regardless, I decided this was not representative of the brand promise of Apple nor a company I would like to work with. I wish the story ended her but again after providing again the documentation of screen shots ( all via email ), on XX/XX/XXXX I received a notice from Apple Card Support that they reached a split decision and they claimed I already received credit from the merchant for the amount of {$31.00}. At the end of the day, I did not have to pay for the full amount of the order but I was out of pocket for some of it despite never receiving the item and only through my persistence. In addition, I was out a lot of pain and suffering due to the number of calls and aggravation. It was one of the worst customer experiences I have ever had and it was a clear cut case. I cant even imagine what it would be like in a real fraudulent case and would fear for any consumer who has to work with them. Therefore, I share my experience in hopes it can help others.

Trans World Systems Inc has reported the same debt 3 times to my XXXX credit report once on XX/XX/2022 and then 2 more times on XX/XX/2022 for a {$120.00} balance. 

They have not provided me with any notice of the collection efforts or a way to request validation of the debt. In fact they have not communicated with me at all and I only learned of the debt through XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX feature. 

This is extremely unfair and unethical. I want these accounts removed from my credit report as reporting the same debt multiple times is fraud.
