Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Trouble using your card — Credit card company won't increase or decrease your credit limit
Company: GOLDMAN SACHS BANK USA
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I submitted a complaint against Goldman Sachs on or about XX/XX/2024 related to their inability to use a current copy of my credit report for a credit limit increase. A representative contacted me from the bank and was supposed to follow up with me a week later. They never called me back. In Goldman Sachs response to me, they indicate that XXXX XXXX has a freeze on my credit report, and this is preventing them from pulling a current copy of my credit report. I contacted XXXX XXXX and was informed there is no freeze on my credit report. So this issue is apparently related to Goldman Sachs. Yet, they refuse to work with me to fix this issue. 

My issue is the bank is using a credit report that is over 10 months old to review a request to increase my credit limit. 

This was their response to me. 

Goldman Sachs Bank USA ( the Bank ) received the above-referenced complaint related to the Apple Card via the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau XXXX CFPB ) Complaint Portal on XX/XX/2024. The Bank appreciates the opportunity to address the concerns raised by XXXX XXXX ( the Customer ) related to a credit limit increase request. The Bank conducted an investigation and confirmed no error occurred. According to the Banks records, the Customer applied for a credit limit increase on XX/XX/2024. The Bank carefully reviewed the Customers Apple Card account history and any new credit bureau information received as part of servicing the account. The Bank was unable to approve the Customers credit limit increase request. Consequently, and in adherence with applicable law, the Bank sent the Customer an email on XX/XX/2024, detailing the reasons why the Bank could not approve the request. The Bank confirmed there is a suppression on the Customers credit report on the side of the Credit reporting agency. The Bank used the last available data when making the decision for the Customers credit limit increase request. The Customer should contact the credit reporting agencies directly for further information related to the credit information being suppressed. Based on the above details, the Bank kindly requests for this complaint to be closed.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
Wells Fargo changed their mind and would not release funds to a FL XXXX XXXX XXXX unless I signed a " repair affidavit ''. This request for {$4500.00} is NOT a repair. The request is solely and specifically for the legally allowed 10 % of the {$45000.00} claim that the adjuster helped obtain from the insurance company. 
All parties have endorsed the check and Wells Fargo is holding the {$45000.00}. I have sent, via fax number Wells provided, the insurance adjusters invoice and requested the 10 % funds be released to them or to me to pay them. 
Wells Fargo has bounced me around with no resolution. Amazing someone at a billion-dollar bank, holding in escrow over $ XXXX of insurance settlement monies ( more is due to us ) yet can't release {$4500.00} - which aren't repair monies - to the insurance adjuster that helped gain the {$45000.00} insurance payment.

I am writing to dispute certain items on my credit report that I believe have been reported unlawfully and may be in violation of federal law, specifically 18 USC 894.

Upon reviewing my credit report, I have identified the collection. These items appear to be associated with attempts to collect or punish me for non-repayment of credit in a manner that may be considered extortionate.

Under 18 USC 894, it is unlawful for any entity to knowingly participate in the use of extortionate means to collect or attempt to collect any extension of credit, or to punish any person for the nonrepayment thereof. I believe that the reporting of these items on my credit report may constitute a violation of this law.
