Consumer complaint received 2024-07-22 00:00:00
Product: Checking or savings account — Savings account
Issue: Managing an account — Deposits and withdrawals
Company: GOLDMAN SACHS BANK USA
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I created my Marcus by Goldman Sachs online savings account XX/XX/year>, and deposited my money to the account over the past year. When I tried to transfer money out XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX earlier this month ( around XX/XX/XXXX ), the transfer didn't go through and was reversed on XX/XX/XXXX. 

They called me XX/XX/XXXX and I missed the call. When I called them back at customer service, they said they couldn't verify my phone number. They said based on their database, my phone number is not under my name, and they asked me to verify with XXXX XXXX XXXX. Then I said it was them who made the call first, and they said they didn't know what happened. I've never had any problem with my phone number because this is my number, and all my IDs, banks, work, insurance, address are using this phone number with no issue. I verified with XXXX XXXX XXXX that I am the owner of the phone number. I called Marcus back XX/XX/XXXX, they said they still couldn't verify my number. On the same day, I received a data privacy alert from XXXX XXXX XXXX, saying that " we learned some of your data was illegally downloaded. We have no current indication your data has been publicly posted/misused. The data includes the phone numbers of your calls and texts but not the content of your calls/texts. '' I am extremely concerned of my privacy and my money ( almost all my life savings ) at Marcus. 

On XX/XX/XXXX my account was locked. Now I couldn't access my online savings account at all and have zero knowledge into what is going on. They said that I need to wait for XXXX business days for them to call me for next steps of verification, and need to wait for more time to unlock my account. No clear instructions and timeline were provided. I called XX/XX/XXXX, and no updates were provided. This is the worse experience I've ever had with any banks, and I don't know what to do. 

Thank you so much for looking into my case. I feel helpless, and also discriminated when they keep asking if I have a sister or brother or parent who can verify me or otherwise I couldn't be verified.

I did not approve these transactions to be included in my consumer report, neither in writing nor verbally. Therefore, I formally request that these accounts be blocked and removed from my record.

I am stressing this to highlight the seriousness of my request. It is based on accurate information, and I am not attempting to deceive or manipulate the situation in any way. My intent is solely to ensure that my consumer report reflects only those transactions that I have authorized. I am committed to maintaining the integrity of my financial records and ensuring that they are accurate and truthful. My request is genuine and aimed at correcting an unauthorized inclusion, not at exploiting any system or misleading any party involved.

Complaint narrative:
I'm not exactly sure what is going on with my loan from Higher Education Assistance Authority in NJ but I've had it for over 20 years with seemingly no progress. The original amount has been paid back several times over. I took out a private loan from another company around the same that I have since paid off for about the same amount of money. This loan amount just doesn't seem to go down. Making payments online is very difficult. The company won't allow me to sign up for auto pay even though I have had this loan for over 20 years! They also will not allow me to release my co signer and add a different one. I want the remainder forgiven and out of my life. I know something isn't right here. Please help!
