Consumer complaint received 2024-07-19 00:00:00
Product: Checking or savings account — Savings account
Issue: Managing an account — Deposits and withdrawals
Company: GOLDMAN SACHS BANK USA
State: CT

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I received an email from Marcus at Goldman Sachs requesting me to call their helpline number. Since I was busy with personal matters, I called back on XX/XX/XXXX and learned that my account was restricted because of " security reasons ''. The fraud team was unable to send a one-time verification code to my phone number because my phone number shows as inactive on the third-party database that is used by Marcus for identity verification XXXX Note that, when I log into marcus.com, I am able to receive a one-time code on the same number. 

I ask if there are other ways I can be verified, for example via email, a video call with my holding my passport, confirming my SSN, and a myriad other ways that are typical across the industry. Apparently, the only way to un-restrict my account was to mail in a notarized Affidavit of Identity ( " XXXX '' ) form to the XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX. I inform the team that I am currently overseas and will be for the next two years because I am studying abroad. They confirm that as long as I can have the AOI notarized and mailed to them, that it should not be an issue. 

I do so, and confirm by calling the helpline that the AOI was received by the relevant team on XX/XX/year> and that the review process typically takes 3-7 business days. I ask to expedite the process and they say that they will review my case and provide a resolution between 1-3 business days. On XX/XX/year>, I called the helpline and spoke to a supervisor so that I could get an update on my case. The supervisor ( named XXXX ), informed me that my AOI was not approved because it was notarized outside the US. She walks me through the policy and opens a case on my behalf to close my Online Savings Account since I will be living outside the US for an extended period of time. I call back on XX/XX/year>, and this time speak to another supervisor ( named XXXX ) who informs me that the AOI review is still pending and that I could expect a response by XX/XX/year> and that I should call back on XX/XX/year>. 

This highlights the gross incompetence prevalent at Marcus by Goldman Sachs. There are cases where supervisors are providing me with incorrect information, and at the same time freezing my assets for a reason that is inexplicable. Further, there are no alternative identity verification processes available to them.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to express my deep disappointment and frustration with your bureau 's handling of the inaccurately reported late payments on my credit file. Despite the multiple dispute letters I have sent, your team has consistently verified these erroneous accounts, causing ongoing harm to my credit report. It is utterly unacceptable that, after my repeated communications, your bureau has failed to rectify these inaccuracies. The verification process you claim to have undertaken is evidently flawed, as the information reported does not reflect the true state of my accounts. This raises serious questions about the integrity and reliability of your verification procedures. 
I have personally contacted the banks involved via phone calls, and they have acknowledged the errors in their reporting. The banks have agreed to update the status of my accounts to accurately reflect that they were never late. Yet, despite this confirmation, your bureau continues to perpetuate these inaccuracies on my credit report. 
I demand an immediate and thorough re-investigation into these accounts. The current state of my credit report is causing undue harm to my financial standing, and it is imperative that these inaccuracies be corrected without further delay. I expect you to cease reporting these false late payments and to update my credit file accordingly. Furthermore, I require a detailed explanation of the verification process your bureau undertook that led to the continued reporting of these inaccurate late payments. Transparency in this matter is crucial, and I expect a prompt and comprehensive response. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX
