Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are being handled
Company: MOHELA
State: UT

Complaint narrative:
Hi, I made a payment to close out two loans, but only one of the loans appears to be processed. On XX/XX/year>, I paid a total of {$50000.00} which is confirmed in my bank statement and Mohela receipt, but the site only says that I paid {$29000.00} on that day to one loan ( 1-13 Direct Loan ), and it seems that it was the only loan processed. I am wondering where the rest of the money is, and why it has not paid off another loan? I believe the other loan I was trying to pay off was " 1-12 Direct Loan-unsubsidized '' because of its high interest rate of >7 %. Thank you for any help you can offer. I can provide a bank record if necessary to prove that I paid {$50000.00} to Mohela.

Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Other features, terms, or problems — Problem with rewards from credit card
Company: GOLDMAN SACHS BANK USA
State: TN

Complaint narrative:
I signed up for an Apple credit card via their refer a friend offer. I clicked the refer a friend link and was supposed to receive daily {$75.00} cash reward after my first purchase. The terms state that the award will show up after your first purchase. The terms do not specify a long-term waiting multiple billing cycles for the award to show up. I contacted Apple at least four times and spoke to at least eight representatives who kept transferring me laterally, because no one seemed to even be able to verify that I qualify for the reward Some indicated that it might take up to two billing cycles, but refused to send me those terms in an email. Apple/Goldman Sachs allegedly opened a case, but did not ever get back to me. I have wasted so much time on this. From what Ive read on XXXX forums, the {$75.00} was supposed to show up pretty quickly. Im fairly certain that the people Ive spoken to are lying to me or just deferring me to other people because they can not solve the issue on their own. This seems like a very fraudulent offer/advertisemnt.
