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: MD

Complaint narrative:
The transaction date was XX/XX/year>. The merchant was XXXX. 

I disputed the charge as soon as I saw it. This happened with two different credit cards. One company resolved this for me the same day I reported the charge. Apple Card ( Goldman Sachs ) has, over the last two years and after my re-asserting the dispute at least a dozen times, continued to essentially accuse me of fraud. This is after thousands of legitimate transactions that I do not dispute. For some unknown reason, Apple Card ( Goldman Sachs ) has chosen to, over a single {$100.00} transaction, attempt to compel me to pay for a transaction that I did not conduct. 

I suspect that the XXXX mobile application was somehow compromised in XXXX, resulting in the fraudulent charges. I can not, of course, be sure about that. Again, one company helped me and Apple Card simply has not. 

I refuse to pay for a transaction I did not conduct. Every other credit card company I have ever done business with seems to follow a policy of not holding their customers responsible for fraudulent charges. In this instance, Apple Card is, in essence, accusing me of fraud. 

I seek any and all assistance in this matter, as it has become clear to me that Apple Card and Goldman Sachs are seeking to take money from me. They have committed resources that more than likely far exceed the {$100.00} transaction in question.

Company: NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
Navy Federal gave me a preapproval for an auto loan late used model 72 months at 5.7 %. two weeks ago I purchased a car I was under the impression that I was paying 5.790 % 72 months. I went to sign my truth and lending disclosure today. Navy Federal has jumped my rate up from 5.79 % to 8.89 % nobody at the company can tell me why, they continue to say its because of the vehicle that I bought, it doesnt add up. I dont have bad credit. I pay my bills. I have 100 % payment history. I have a credit card with Navy Federal never missed the payment. Never had any issues. This is predatory lending and I feel like they are discriminating against me because Im a person of XXXX. Nobody at that company can give me a solid explanation. What I want is for them to honor my rate at XXXX or give me this vehicle free and clear before I sue them.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
I recently conducted a review of my credit report and found several items that have caused me significant distress. These items appear to be unverifiable, inaccurate, and questionable. Your agency has failed to ensure the accuracy of the information as required under 15 U.S. Code 1681e ( b ) Accuracy of Reports. This statute mandates that consumer reporting agencies must follow reasonable procedures to ensure the maximum possible accuracy of the information they report.

Furthermore, under 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( 5 ) Treatment of Inaccurate or Unverifiable Information, you are required to promptly delete or modify any information found to be inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable during a reinvestigation. If you are unable to provide me with verifiable proof of the accuracy of the disputed items within 15 days of your investigation, these accounts and the related information must be removed from my credit report. 

Additionally, under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), I do not recognize any of the alleged creditors or debt collectors. I have never entered into a valid contract with any of these entities, nor have I engaged in any transactions with them. As such, these accounts are fraudulent and may be the result of identity theft or other illegal activities. Attempting to enforce these fraudulent accounts is unlawful. I request that you expedite your investigation to prevent further harm, losses, or damages that I may suffer as a victim of identity theft.

Moreover, under the Fair Credit Billing Act, my right to privacy has been violated, and this breach infringes upon my rights as outlined in The Privacy Act of 1974. Removing the inaccurate and fraudulent information from my credit report will help restore my privacy and prevent further violations.

Complaint narrative:
Consumer Reporting Agencies have assumed a vital role in assembling and evaluating consumer credit while knowing there is a need to insure they exercise their grave responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and a RESPECT for the consumers RIGHT TO PRIVACY. 

The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting, and these unfair credit reporting methods undermine my public confidence which is essential to the banking system. 

I never gave my expressed, written consent for these consumer reporting agencies to report my information, which violated 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and this leads to an alleged identity theft, which is a violation of 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. These accounts are not related to any transactions made by me, the consumer.

I greatly value the relationship I have with the following creditors and have consistently made on-time payments forsuch a long time.This isolated incident does not reflect my overall commitment to honoring my financial obligations, and I have since taken steps to ensure this will not happen again. 

Given my otherwise positive payment history, I kindly request that you consider removing this late payment from my credit report as a goodwill gesture. I believe this adjustment would better reflect my responsible credit behavior and would help improve my credit standing.
