Company: GOLDMAN SACHS BANK USA
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to you to express my frustration and concern about an ongoing matter with Goldman Sachs. Since XX/XX/2022 I have been trying to have them replace my ITIN number with my Social Security number on my account. Despite multiple attempts on my part to resolve this matter, my request remains unattended. 

The first time I called Goldman Sachs to request the change, they assured me that the change would be reflected in 10 days. Two months passed and no change was made. I then called back and was connected with a supervisor who escalated the situation and promised that the change would be made in 10 days. 

Since then, I have called two more times and have spoken with supervisors, each of whom assured me that the situation was being escalated and that I would be contacted in 10 days. However, despite these repeated promises, no change has been made and I have received no communication. 

These ongoing delays and the lack of resolution are not only frustrating, but are also negatively affecting my credit score. Each time I speak with a new supervisor, there seems to be a new reason why the change has not yet been made - that the previous supervisor made a mistake, that a ticket was not created, that my contact information was not entered correctly. 

As a customer, I am not getting the attention to this matter. I feel that Goldman Sachs is not acting and prolonging the situation, each time telling me that I will have a response in 10 days and then doing nothing to resolve the problem. 

Therefore, I am submitting this formal complaint in the hope that you can help me resolve this matter. I appreciate your attention to this issue and look forward to resolving it promptly.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: MS

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2023 there was a hard inquiry showing on my credit report stating that Capital One performed a hard inquiry. Therefore, I contacted Captial One and the credit bureau as well as XXXX to let them know that I had not applied for a Capital One card and was unaware that this had been done until I was reviewing my credit report on the XXXX website. 

On XX/XX/2023 there was also a hard inquiry showing on my XXXX credit report showing that a XXXX card was also applied for and a hard inquiry was performed on my credit. Therefore, I contacted XXXX, the credit bureau, and XXXX to let them know that I had not applied for a Chase card and was unaware that this had been done until I was reviewing my credit report on the XXXX website. 

The customer service representative for XXXX explained that I needed to do a inquiry dispute on their website, which I did perform. After disputing the hard inquiries, they were dropped off my credit report. 

As for Capital One and XXXX, both companies looked into the issue to see if there was an application on file ; however, both companies told me that they did not see any applications in my name. 

On XX/XX/2023, I saw that another hard inquiry had been placed on my credit report from XXXX XXXX. Therefore, I contacted XXXX XXXX and XXXX to let them know that I had not applied for anything at XXXX XXXX  and this was fraudulant activity. XXXX told me to fill out another inquiry dispute. Later, the inquiry was dropped off my report. 

Fortunately, I was able to catch the matter before any money could be charged on the cards.

Complaint narrative:
I recently discovered that a credit card account was opened under my name without my authorization, and I believe I have become a victim of identity theft. 

The unauthorized credit card account was opened on XX/XX/2019 and I have attached any supporting documents I possess to substantiate my claim. The account details, including the card number, account holder 's name, and any other relevant information, were obtained fraudulently. As a victim of this crime, I am deeply concerned about the potential negative impact on my credit history and overall financial well-being. 

I have taken immediate steps to mitigate the damages caused by this incident. Firstly, I have contacted the credit reporting agencies, namely XXXX, Experian, and XXXX, to place a fraud alert on my credit report. 

I kindly request your full cooperation and support in investigating this matter promptly. I would appreciate if you could initiate an immediate investigation into the unauthorized credit card account opened in my name. I understand that it might take some time to resolve this issue completely, but I trust in your expertise and commitment to ensuring a fair and just resolution. 

I am prepared to provide any further documentation or evidence that may aid in your investigation. Please inform me of any additional information or steps required from my end to proceed with the resolution process effectively. 

Furthermore, I kindly request that you remove the unauthorized credit card account immediately to prevent further fraudulent activity and to protect both myself and your institution from any financial liabilities associated with this incident. 

I emphasize the urgency of addressing this matter promptly, as the longer it remains unresolved, the greater the potential harm to my personal and financial well-being. I am hopeful that, with your assistance and expertise, we can swiftly resolve this case and ensure that justice is served.
