Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TN

Complaint narrative:
I lodged a complaint with these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. I haven't received any communication from the Bureaus, except for the notification that you sent stating that the company has responded to my complaint. How can I be certain that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report? What methods did they employ to validate the accounts? This whole situation is incredibly frustrating! It's been more than 30 days since I filed a complaint with these Bureaus, and yet the disputed accounts have not been updated. If this continues, I will have no choice but to take legal action due to the immense stress this has caused me. Moreover, I am also concerned about the security of my personal data, as it was affected by the Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX data breach.

Product: Checking or savings account — CD (Certificate of Deposit)
Issue: Closing an account — Funds not received from closed account
Company: GOLDMAN SACHS BANK USA
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I opened a CD in XXXX of XXXX through XXXX. It was set to mature on XX/XX/XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX, I called Marcus in order to open a new no-penalty 7 month CD account where the money from the initial CD account could be transferred. 

When I logged back in to my account in early XXXX, I noticed that no funds had been transferred to the new no penalty CD account and that the initial CD had not been closed. I called Marcus to find out what was happening. They explained they were working on closing the account and that it would be done in XXXX days. 

I followed up with Marcus on XX/XX/XXXX. This is when I learned they failed to close the initial CD account. As a result, the account was renewed for an undisclosed term and interest rate. Marcus told me they were in the process of trying to close it and waiving the penalty fee ( they couldn't tell me why I would be facing a penalty fee when they were the ones who failed to comply with the terms of the CD maturity plan ). In addition, I was disappointed that they chose not to disclose this information in my prior phone call. After the second phone call, they said someone would follow up with me.

It has been over a week since they said they would follow up and I still haven't heard from them. I have read accounts online of other people having similar issues with Marcus. They tell people the process will take XXXX days, but it never does. It always takes longer. Sometimes months. 

I was advised to file a CFPB complaint in order to motivate Marcus to honor the original CD maturity plan and give me access to my funds.

Complaint narrative:
I have already sent a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received any response even after 30 days. It feels like I'm being taken advantage of and my disputes are being ignored. According to Section 611 ( a ), if these items are not investigated within 30 days, they should be promptly removed from my credit report. Since it has been over 30 days, I expect these accounts to be updated immediately. If not, I will have no choice but to pursue legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Additionally, my information was also affected by the XXXX, Experian, and XXXX data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.
