APPLE CARD/GS BANK USA (Original Creditor: GOLDMAN SACHS BANK USA) **************** Balance: $4,025.00 I am attempting to handle this matter privately, now. ` Your agency has broken federal law on more than one occasion. Under 12 CFR 1006.34(b)(5), you are obligated to provide verification of the debt when requested by a consumer. To date, you have failed to provide any documentation or information to substantiate this debt. Your failure to meet this legal requirement constitutes a violation of my consumer rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) and other applicable laws. Furthermore, I have not been given an opportunity to dispute the account as required by 12 CFR 1006.34(c)(4)(i), which mandates that a consumer must be given a reasonable period to dispute the debt. Instead, you have placed an erroneous and unverified collection on my consumer report, which is in clear violation of my rights. Additionally, I assert that your actions in reporting this account to consumer reporting agencies without providing the required validation and disclosures are false, misleading, and deceptive. This is in direct violation of 12 CFR 1006.34(c)(4)(i) and 15 USC 1681s-2(7)(A), which prohibit such practices. Given the above violations, I demand that you immediately cease reporting this collection account to any credit bureaus and remove any inaccurate entries related to this account from my credit report. You are also required to provide the appropriate validation of this debt under 12 CFR 1006.34(b)(5). If you fail to comply with these requests within the timeframes outlined in the law, I will be forced to escalate this matter, including filing complaints with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), the BBB and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), as well as pursuing legal action if necessary. Citing 15 USC 1692g of the FCRA I am requesting that you validate this debt immediately as well.Business Response

I kindly request that you investigate this matter and remove the fraudulent account from my credit report as soon as possible. Please provide me with a confirmation once this has been addressed.

One of my three accounts at Marcus (Goldman Sachs) was missing all monthly bank statements. I contacted customer service, and they confirmed the issue but could not explain why. Instead of restoring my electronic statements, they mailed 18 months of paper statements, which I did not request. On February 3, 2025, I received the paper statements via UPS and, on the same day, an email stating that my statement delivery preferences had been changed—something I never authorized. On February 4, 2025, I attempted to transfer funds to pay a bill and discovered that my accounts were frozen without notice. I called customer service, and after multiple escalations, I was told the issue was sent to the "back office" for review. No one followed up. On February 6, 2025, I called again. My case was escalated once more, and I was promised a call back. As of February 7, 2025, I have received no response, no explanation, and still cannot access my funds. Marcus has not communicated why my accounts were frozen or when I will regain access. I have bills due and cannot pay them because my money is being withheld without justification. Resolution Sought: Immediate unfreezing of my accounts. A written explanation for why my funds were frozen. Restoration of my statement delivery preferences to electronic PDFs.Business Response

The Bank appreciates the opportunity to address the concerns raised by ******* **** (the "Customer”) related to their Online Savings Accounts (“OSA”).
On January 21, 2025, the Customer contacted the Bank advising their statements were not available online for their OSA (account ending in 2763). As the Customer had been unable to access their statements electronically, the Bank opened an investigation into the concerns and temporarily adjusted the Customer’s statement delivery preference to paper. Subsequently, on January 31, 2025, the Bank mailed the requested statements to the Customer’s address on file. After further review, the Bank identified the technical issue regarding the delivery of the Customer’s statements and updated their delivery preference back to electronic as requested.
Separately, on February 3, 2025, the Bank conducted an account maintenance review and identified security concerns with the Customer's joint OSAs and restricted their online banking access. The following day, the account holders contacted the Bank regarding their account access, but the security concerns remained.
After further review, on February 10, 2025, the Bank resolved the security concerns affiliated with the Customer’s joint accounts and restored all account holder’s online banking access. The following day, the Bank completed the Customer’s request to transfer funds from their OSA (account ending in ****) to their external account. Due to the experience, the Bank has provided the Customer with a credit to their account as a token of goodwill.

I am filing this complaint regarding a total of $9,701.46 in disputed charges on my credit card issued by Marcus by Goldman Sachs. These charges were made across multiple months by various merchants, including The Stow Company ($3,206.02), PayPal ($825.00), and SQ *Unifirm Handyman Services ($260.00). These charges are fraudulent, and the merchants either failed to deliver the promised services or overcharged me without my authorization. After reviewing my evidence, Marcus initially credited my account and removed the charges. However, they later reinstated the charges without valid justification, leaving me with a balance I do not owe. List of Disputed Charges 1.

Goldman Sachs Bank USA (the “Bank”) received the above-referenced complaint related to GM Business Card via the Better Business Bureau (“BBB”) Complaint Portal on February 07, 2025. The Bank appreciates the opportunity to address the concerns raised by ***** ******** ** (the “Customer”) related to twenty transaction disputes with multiple merchants.
The Bank conducted an investigation and confirmed no Bank error occurred. The Customer initially disputed a transaction with the merchant THE STOW COMPANY in the amount of $3,206.02 on August 10, 2023. The Bank applied a temporary credit while the dispute was investigated. On September 09, 2023, the merchant posted a partial refund credit in the amount of $2,000.00 and confirmed the Customer was still in possession of the merchandise. The Customer’s evidence was insufficient in showing the merchandise had been returned. Based on the refund, the Bank resolved the dispute as merchant credited. As a result, the temporary credit that was applied to the Customer’s account was reversed on October 21, 2023. The Bank sent the Customer an email detailing the dispute outcome.
The Customer initially disputed a transaction with the merchant TRAVELURO HOTELS in the amount of $406.00 between August 22, 2023, and January 24, 2024. The Bank applied a temporary credit while the dispute was investigated. Based on the investigation and a review of the evidence provided, the Bank resolved the dispute in favor of the merchant because the merchant provided sufficient evidence showing services were provided as described. The Customer’s evidence was insufficient in showing services were not provided. As a result, the temporary credit that was applied to the Customer’s account was reversed between October 21, 2023, and March 20, 2024. The Bank sent the Customer an email detailing the dispute outcome.
The Bank confirmed as of February 10, 2025, eighteen transaction disputes remain under investigation, and the Bank expects completion within 2 billing-cycles from the date of receipt and no later than 90 days from date of receipt. During the investigations, the account does not incur interest for the amount in dispute and the Customer is not responsible for repayment. Customers can send dispute evidence at any time by responding to the request for evidence email or by mail to Goldman Sachs Bank USA, Salt Lake City Branch, Lockbox 70321, Philadelphia, PA 19176-0321. The Customer should label all evidence with the case number and avoid sending original documents. If no new evidence is received by the Customer, the dispute resolution may not change.

I opened a 12 month CD with Marcus on 12/20/2023 with $50,000. I did not tell them nor did I want them to renew the CD at its maturation date. Marcus did not inform me that they had set a default selection to automatically renew the CD into a new 1 year contract upon maturation. I discovered that the CD was rolled over into a new 1 year term on February 4th 2025. I contacted the Marcus customer service to ask them to close the account and they said I must pay them 90 days simple interest to do so. They admit that Marcus always sets the default to rollover. They sent me a email about another CD that had matured after the 10 grace period that said we should celebrate the renewal! And the email said that I would always be in the driver seat as to how I wanted to handle my CD at maturation time which I think is disingenuous because they make the selection for you.Business Response

Marcus by Goldman Sachs, a brand of Goldman Sachs Bank USA (the “Bank”), received the above-referenced complaint via the Better Business Bureau Complaint Portal on February 7, 2025. The Bank appreciates the opportunity to address the concerns raised by ****** ******* (the "Customer”) related to the renewal of their Certificate of Deposit (“CD”).
In accordance with the Bank’s Deposit Account Agreement (“DAA”), Customers may notify the Bank (an “Early Instruction”) up to twelve months before their CD matures if the Customer does not wish for it to renew or wishes to renew it with modifications. In the event there is not an Early Instruction in place, the CD will automatically renew.
On November 20, 2024, 2024, thirty days prior to the CD’s maturity date, the Bank sent a notification to the email address on file notifying the Customer of the CD’s upcoming maturity date. Additionally, the Bank allowed the Customer to make changes to their CD for ten days following the maturity date. The Customer did not provide Early Instructions prior to the maturity date or within the grace period and the CD automatically renewed.
On February 5, 2025, the Customer contacted the Bank regarding the renewal of the CD and requested to close their account. A Bank specialist informed the Customer that an Early Withdrawal Penalty (“EWP”) would be applied for closing the account prior to the maturity date.
Unfortunately, the Bank is unable to honor the Customer’s request to waive the EWP. If the Customer wishes to close their CD prior to the maturity date, an EWP will be applied.
Based on the above details, the Bank kindly requests this complaint to be closed.Customer Answer

I am rejecting this response because:Yes I agreed to the a GM card by the ** dealer. the emails came form either Goldman Sachs or some other company which is why it was not recognized. Once I recieved a phone call notifiying me I missed the invoice and payment I immediately paid it in full. I have made several calls to address this issue. In my opinion poor customer service it was clearly not intential and the account is closed and paid in full. I would never recomend this company in the future based on this customer service. I have excellent credit this one issue will not have a big effect on my credit score and fortunelty I do not have a need for any credit in the future. It is a matter of principle that this company doesnt see the reality of the situation and just let it go.

I opened a Marcus savings account last month and set a monthly transfer plan at the beginning of each month. However, yesterday, I stumbled upon my account being closed for no reason. I called back and forth to customer service at least five times and answered every questions correctly and clearly, but no one was able to really help me resolve the issue. It shows that either the communication system inside Marcus is very messy, or I am being targeted for not being able to transfer my money out. I am tired of this, and would like to refund the full amount of money.Business Response

Jan 20, 2025, I attempted to open a CD account online. Was told to call the number with the application ID. This ID is: ***************** I spoke to several people, wasted a lot of time getting the run around. The lady told me my phone number is not able to be verified in their system. They did not explain how to fix this. I spoke to three people who contradicted each other. None would help to resolve the issue. They said they can't tell me the reason for security purposes. Was told my application was manually declined. Was told to reply because they did not know why. Re-appliation ID: #****************. Called again and given a complaint number: ************. Was told there is no follow-up that will be done. All my information is legitimate an accurate. I'm being denied the opportunity to open an account due to some error on their system and they are not interested in resolving the problem. This is very bad customer service.Business Response
