Complaint narrative:
My account with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 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 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 months that are reported late 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 21 days before the payment due date. 


XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 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 21 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!

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.

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.

Issue: Getting a credit card — Application denied
Company: GOLDMAN SACHS BANK USA
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
Since my initial call to the customer services at Goldman Sachs over 8 months ago about my existing Apple Card, the rep told me to fi my issue with my Apple Id and card I had to close my account and open a new one. Since then, XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX fixed the ID issue but every time I apply for the Apple Card via Goldman Sachs, the application goes to pending review, then I get an email asking for proof of identification, so I upload a copy of my drivers license which has my correct information just like on the application. 

Within a few hours I get an email stating that they can not verify my identification. 

Funny that I get statements for my checking account from Goldman Sachs, my old apple card statements, letters, flyers, and pre-selected information to my address here, the same one on my application and drivers license, but they can not verify me. Its like harassment. 

See copies of all my proof, enclosed.

Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
The gift card was given to me as a gift and was issued by American Express. The balance stated on the card is {$100.00}. It is clearly stated on the card and their website that the card can be used anywhere American Express is accepted. I checked that the card was active and that the balance on the card was accurate on the day I received the card. I have tried repeatedly use this this card online to make purchases from merchants that accept American Express and the gift card has been denied every time. My most recent attempt was today trying to make a purchase from XXXX XXXX. I contacted the merchant to ask why the card was being denied and they responded that the purchase was being denied by American Express. I again used the phone number on the back of the card to verify that the card is active and that it has the correct balance on it. The amount I was trying to purchase was less that the amount loaded on the card. I then began doing research online and multiple people who have either purchased or been given an American Express gift card are having the exact same problem. When American Express customer service is contacted, they claim the cards are blocked due to security protocols even though the cards are being used with vendors and merchants who accept and have a relationship with American Express. The customer service reps claim that they remove the security blocks, but the gift cards continue to be unusable.
