Complaint narrative:
When I spoke to you on the phone informed me that there was a zero fraud liability. I had nothing to worry about. Months later, youre telling me you are denying my fraud claim you have not given me any information as to why. We were not located in the city that the charges were made in. We also did not have the cards in our possession. But charges were made. If thats not considered fraud, I need you to explain to me. What exactly you consider fraud? I mean we didnt have the cards and we were not in the city that the charges were made on. We didnt give the cards to anybody else. We didnt give permission to anybody else we didnt benefit in anyway, so why would you deny our fraud dispute? Explain in details about the specific case.

Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Fees or interest — Charged too much interest
Company: GOLDMAN SACHS BANK USA
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I've had at least 6 phone calls with Goldman to resolve this issue. First phone call in mid-XXXX  was to inquire about my XXXX balance as the statement shown didn't add up. 

A case was opened as person I spoke with couldnt explain it. I called twice to check on case progress as my payment was coming due. It took 3 weeks for me to receive an incomplete response in XXXX to my original inquiry. While waiting for this response my payment was coming due. I called to inquire on progress and explicitly asked how to handle the upcoming payment and was told that because I had disputed the balance, I would not be charged interest. 

In fact, I was charged interest and the card company is refusing to refund all the interest charges. This is my first ever partial payment and I want to be clear, I made a partial payment under the companys representation to me that interest would not be charged. If the associate made a mistake in providing this guidance, it is not on me and I shouldnt have to pay. 

To add, it took an additional 3 people, each at a higher level, and over 2 hours on the phone to finally explain my balance discrepancy. In fact, during my 6th call, the manager that called me almost gave up and wanted to create a case to be reviewed. Goldmans obscure accounting of my activity and balances led to several different explanations as to the discrepancy in my purchase activity and total balance due. At one point telling me that the extra balance due was due to incomplete XXXX payment when I had it on autopay for full amount and was told the reason interest was not charged in XXXX was due to some weird accounting done by Goldman. Turns out that was not the case, but again, it took an additional phone call and an extra hour to resolve the mystery. 

I took every action to ensure I would pay my balance on time. I called Goldman several times to get an explanation of the balance due, I called to inquire about case status before payment was due, and I explicitly asked how to handle the upcoming payment and was told that because it was in dispute, no charges would accrue if I didnt make payment. Luckily, I did pay the majority of the balance on time. I didnt pay the amount I could not understand, and no one could explain to me in a timely manner, why it was being charged. Goldmans inability to explain its own statements and the incorrect information provided to me can not possibly be my problem to pay for.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: KS

Complaint narrative:
I scheduled a payment for {$2000.00} for the due date on my capital one credit card. There is a {$2000.00} limit and was over the limit. I normally pay $ XXXX payments monthly and regardless of the time or day those are made the credit is made available to me immediately. This time I paid off the balance and the company cant charge me interest so they have held my payment for up to 14 business days. The money has left my bank account and is supposedly pending on capital ones end. I find this wild considering they are release my available credit immediately any other time I make a payment. So consumers are punished for paying off their high interest credit cards by not being allowed access to their credit immediately like in any other situation.
