Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement
Company: GOLDMAN SACHS BANK USA
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
My Complaint is direct at both XXXX and the Apple card XXXX Many, Many, Many Years ago, XXXX offered me a free cell phone reception booster for my house. I can honestly say it didnt work. I dont recall the exact date that I got the booster, but it was something like in XXXX or XXXX I mean a long time ago. I believe it was called XXXX but Im struggling to remember. There were two cheap plastic boxes. One which you were supposed to put in your window, and another in a central location In your house. It didnt really improve reception and XXXX began allowing WiFi calling, so I didnt think the boxes helped. After I got the device, I realized that there was a non-return penalty of {$500.00} if I didnt return the box. Knowing that I didnt think the box was useful ( and previously paying a cable company for forgetting to return a cable box ) I drove to my nearest XXXX  store to drop off the box. I dont recall how the transaction went ( it was like 10 years ago ) but I recall returning the box to the store. Fast forward 10 years, I decide to cancel XXXX  and go to a XXXX XXXX XXXX I visit national parks and XXXX  coverage on national parks is much better. Anyways, XXXX informs me that they dont have a record of this box. I spent a while on the phone with them, and Im told by the representative that I have to return the exact same box with the exact same serial number. Of course, I dont have it anymore. Otherwise, they will bill me {$500.00}. Sure enough, they charge my credit card {$500.00}. I dispute with my credit card company, and they say well XXXX showed us this invoice so thats proof enough for me. My problems : Said box was returned years ago I was not allowed to pay todays market value for the box. No way a signal booster from 10 years ago is worth {$500.00}. Looking on XXXX, I can buy what I think is essentially the same box today for {$20.00}. I think the box was XXXX, meaning it would likely be deprecated today. Because I dont keep receipts or have proof from 10 years ago, Im being charged {$500.00}. I was a XXXX customer for well over a decadepaid them north of {$5000.00}. I recognize breakups are hard, but charging me {$500.00} for this XXXX box is just a great way to tell a customer to never come back. My phone number is XXXX My XXXX Account number was XXXX My Apple Card is tied to my apple ID : XXXX Am I wrong here? How do I get my {$500.00} back? Has XXXX  done this to anyone else.

Company: Americas Car-Mart, Inc.
State: AR

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX of XXXX I began the purchase of a XXXX XXXX XXXX from XXXX in XXXX XXXX, AR. My payments were {$650.00} a month. In XXXX of XXXX the car broke down in XXXX, AR while I was away on a business trip. I contacted XXXX  to figure out what to do with the car. I was still covered under warranty and the part that needed replacement was under warranty so I was advised by carmart to have a towing company move my car to XXXX in XXXX so that I could be worked on. The car was transported to XXXX by XXXX XXXX. I had my car keys with me so I took them to carmart so that they could send my keys by mail to XXXX so that they could do the repair. After a week went by I contacted XXXX  to get an update on the keys and car. No one would give me any information and just kept telling me that someone would call me back. No one ever called me back. I called everyday for XXXX weeks to get any information from them but was never successful. I called the XXXX  in XXXX to see if they had any information and they told me that they had sent my keys to the carmart in Texas. I called that carmart and they said they would send my keys to the XXXX location. After a few more days went by I called the XXXX in XXXX to see if anything had been done yet. The worker at XXXX told me that XXXX had already had that car towed back to their lot almost XXXX weeks before I called. I tried to get information from the XXXX  in XXXX and hot springs in which neither would give me any information about that was going on. I was current on my payments so they had no reason to repossess my car. This was an illegal repossession and if I do not get a response from this complaint I will be taking them to court.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.

Complaint narrative:
none of these companies possess a copy of my identification, nor have they acknowledged receiving one to the best of my knowledge. It raises a significant concern that these accounts were furnished without proper verification of the account holder 's identity. I did not personally initiate the opening of any of these accounts in a branch or elsewhere. Whatever form of identification was submitted in relation to these accounts does not accurately represent my identity. I am left wondering why these discrepancies are being associated with my name and affecting my credit profile. 

the accounts in question are as follows THESE WERE ALL FRAUDULANTLY OPENED ACCOUNTS AND I NEED THE INFORMATION I REQUESTED WHICH IS REQUIRED BY LAW MY IDENTIFICATION MY SIGNATURE SENDING ME A ACCOUNT WHICH WAS FRAUDULANTLY OPENED AND SAYING IT WAS MAKIGN PAYMENTS DOESNT PROVE LEGITAMACY IF THEY MY IDENTITY WAS STOLEN/ COMPROMISED THIS IS OBVIOUSLY SMOEONE PRETENDING TO BE ME XXXX XXXX XXXX  Account number XXXX Date opened XX/XX/XXXX Balance {$4700.00} XXXX.

XXXX XXXX Account number Date opened XX/XX/XXXX I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the investigation conducted by your agency, as well as the ongoing issue with certain accounts on my credit report. 

At the time these accounts were opened, it is my understanding that my identification was not provided, and there was no evidence of my signature or consent to open these accounts. To clarify, my uncle XXXX XXXX had opened these accounts in my name without my consent. Regrettably, upon his passing, I have discovered that my identity was compromised, and he had been using my name for various financial services, including cable, bank, and credit card accounts, as well as cell phone services. This revelation has shed light on why these accounts have been maintained under my name, even though I had no involvement in their establishment. 

I would like to emphasize that I was unable to engage in any financial transactions or manage such accounts between XXXX and XXXX, due to personal circumstances that I would rather not discuss in detail. but for the important part i was not in the country Your attention to this matter is greatly appreciated, and I look forward to a swift resolution.
