Company: GOLDMAN SACHS BANK USA
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a formal complaint against Marcus by Goldman Sachs for their arbitrary and

unjustifiable actions in locking my account and their subsequent inadequate customer service. On XXXX XXXX, 2024, I attempted
to log in to the Marcus by Goldman Sachs app to manage my account, only to be met with a message stating that my account was temporarily locked. The app instructed me to call their support number to resolve the issue. I had done nothing wrong with my account, so I was confused and frustrated as to why it was arbitrarily locked.

Upon calling their support number, I was informed that my account could not be verified because the name associated with my phone number did not match the name on my account. This is an unacceptable reason for locking an account, especially considering that many individuals, like myself, are on family plans where the primary account holder 's name might differ from the individual users.

Despite providing all necessary information, including my full name, Social Security number, date of birth, and even my secret phrase, Marcus by Goldman Sachs still failed to verify my identity. Instead, I have been subjected to a continuous cycle of frustrating and unproductive interactions with their customer service.

I have received multiple emails instructing me to call their support number, only to be disconnected repeatedly before reaching a representative capable of assisting me. When I finally managed to speak with a representative on XXXX XXXX, 2024, I was asked to provide the bank account number I used to transfer funds into my Marcus account. Despite giving the correct information, the representative still could not verify my identity and insisted on creating yet another case to consult their so-called specialists for further verification.

This entire process has been nothing short of a nightmare. The lack of coordination, the repeated need to re-verify my identity despite having provided all necessary information, and the constant disconnections have caused significant stress and inconvenience. Most importantly, I do not have access to the funds in my account that I need, which has severely impacted my ability to manage my finances and meet my obligations.

As a consumer, I expect a financial institution to handle my account with care and provide competent customer service. Marcus by Goldman Sachs has failed on both counts. Their arbitrary account lock, compounded by their inadequate verification process and poor customer service, has caused undue hardship and inconvenience.

XX/XX/scrub>XXXX XXXX, 2024 {$8500.00} was withdrawn from my savings account without my authorization along with multiple other unauthorized withdrawals. The bank that has my savings account was able to recover the majority of the funds taken except for this amount stated. An investigation was done and the result was that the documentation provided by the " merchant '' claims that the transaction was valid. I did not authorize this " merchant '' to take funds from my savings account. I have since asked for a review and I am still waiting for the result. 

I feel that I am made to prove that I did not authorize this transaction rather than the " Merchant '' prove that I did. This bank has left me hanging and has failed to protect the money that I entrusted to them. I have been a loyal customer for over XXXX  years.

Complaint narrative:
My account with XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH XXXX  XXXX and all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment. 

This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family! 

I demand the late payment reported in XXXX, XXXX, AND XXXX to be removed. 

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law! 

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than XXXX  days before the payment due date. 

XXXX never sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ). 

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered XXXX  days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided. 

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer! 

Delete the late payments from my consumer reports
