I opened a loan with this company in the amount of $31,991 with a company named Long Island Windows aka Renewal by ********. I was told I would not owe anything until the project was complete and until I signed a form of completion. My project is still not complete and Greensky is well aware of this with the multiple complaints that keep being opened by me and closed by their company for unknown reasons. Renewal by ******** has not kept to their contract, as my signatures being forged on many pages of my contract. I have told both Renewal by ******** and Greensky this and shown proof of this with my contract and shown them the signatures that are not mine. I was told by *********************, director of customer services at Renewal by ********, that this was done on accident and this was another customers signatures and that it is copied and pasted onto forms. I was told by Greensky to file a police report. I have informed Greensky on multiple occasions that I went to the police precinct and was told that since this is not a check that was forged that this is a civil complaint and a police report cannot be filed and I would have to go to the courts. I have spoken to multiple lawyers and they have told me this loan amount is too low for them to take on in court. I'm stuck. I would be in jail if I forged someone's signature. What Greensky is doing is illegal. You see my signatures are forged, you see my project isn't finished, and you are now trying to make me pay a loan! This is absurd. Every person I've spoken to at this company never calls me when they say they will. I've even had an employee go *** to find out that they no longer work for the company. Greensky doesn't care about the customer or even listen to the customer. Pages ***** are not my signatures. Forgery is a crime and makes a contract null & void. I have received another customer's supplemental work order with their name, address, phone number. My signature being forged doesn't surprise me after receiving this.Business Response

I had entered into the hurricane forbearance program when the hurricane struck our home. I had spoken to a colleague and they assured me everything was in place. I never was told when it would resume or anything, and with everything that went on I didn't even remember to ask. I got harassing texts and notifications about past due payment, so I chatted in again and was told to "ignore them". I guess a few more than 30 days go by and I get a "Late past 30 days" report on my credit report. I was absolutely appalled. I immediately call in and ask what can we do about it. The representative basically said there was nothing she could do, so that is why I am escalating with the BBB and I will also do the **** if need be. Remove the late payment inquiry, I will pay what is past due and I will continue making monthly payments again. You never told me when the payments would resume, I honestly feel cheated and set up for failure.Business Response

Goldman Sachs Bank *** (the Bank) received the above-referenced complaint related to Apple Card via the Better Business Bureau (BBB) Complaint Portal on December 14, 2022. We appreciate the opportunity to address the concerns raised by ********************* (the Customer) related to credit reporting for *********************** conducted an investigation and confirmed no Bank error occurred. The Banks records show the Customer enrolled in **** Disaster Relief on October 1, 2022. The Bank sent the Customer documentation to the Customers email address on file detailing the **** Disaster Relief enrollment and terms. Additionally, **** Disaster Relief allowed the Customer to skip the payment that was due on October 31, 2022, and the next payment due date would resume on November 30, 2022. The skip payment did not include skipping any past due payments. Per the terms of **** Disaster Relief, If your account is past due, it will remain past due until all past due payments are made. Your purchases may continue to be restricted.
Prior to being eligible to enroll in **** Disaster Relief, the Customers account did not receive the required minimum payments in the amount of $182.00 due by August 31, 2022, $369.00 due by September 30, 2022, and $370.00 due by October 31, 2022. The Banks records show the Customer did make a payment in the amount of $182.00 on September 10, 2022, which was the amount due by August 31, 2022.The minimum amount due for September was not received. The October payment was skipped and the original $370.00 due by October 31, 2022, was moved to a due date of November 30, 2022.
The Bank successfully delivered Payment Due Reminders, Missed Payment Reminders, and Eligible for Bureau Reporting reminders to the email address on file for the Customer. Since there were payments were due prior to the Customer being enrolled in **** Disaster Relief, the Customers account was already past due and these payments were unable to be skipped. As a result, the account has been reported accurately to the credit bureau reporting agencies. The Bank is obligated to report accurately to credit reporting agencies. The Bank is unable to remove the late payment reporting from the customers credit report.
The Bank conducted an additional review of the interactions with the Customer and was unable to locate any record of mistreatment or misinformation provided by a Bank representative. A Bank representative contacted the Customer on December 19, 2022, and addressed the Customers concerns. The Customers account remains past due, and no payment has been made on the account since September 10, 2022. The Customer should make the current required minimum due of $559.00 due by December 31, 2022, to avoid any further negative credit reporting.

This complaint deals with my now closed Apple Card account ********************* On June 6th 2022, my Apple ID ******************** was hacked and taken over without my authorization. The hackers were able to change the contact email & trusted phone so I was no longer able to access anything on my account--it was completely taken over. While locked out, and in short order, they were able to use the Apple Card tied to my Apple ID (issued by ********************** Bank) to make over 40 fraudulent & unauthorized charges totaling approximately $25,000. Many of these fraudulent charges were made at Apple Stores in *******************. They picked these fraudulent orders in person at the Apple Store. My initial credit limit was $16,000. In order to keep making fraudulent purchases, the thieves attempted to pay down this card by making unauthorized payments from my bank, ***** *****. These were $7,267.50, $5514.69 and $12,219.13 respectively. Thankfully I was able to call my bank and stop these payments from posting by ordering a stop payment. I spent several hours on 6/6, 6/7 filing disputes.Starting in August, I received emails that these fraudulent charges & all the associated transaction disputes had been reviewed and & approved in my favor.I thought I was beyond this very unfortunate situation. Than on 12/9, I received a paper statement (Nov ****) from GS bank saying I owed $507.21. These show on the statement as a daily cash adjustment. I called GS bank on 12/9, inquiring how I can be responsible for this as theses were from; fraudulent charges I didn't authorize, on an account I have no access too & is closed. I explained that ever since I was hacked, I have had no control of this account--meaning any cash adjustments didn't go to me--this is what they are not understanding. Disputes were filed again & I was notified on 12/12 that is was not resolved. I filed new disputes on 12/12. The **** and EFT laws protect consumers from fraudulent charges.Business Response

Goldman Sachs Bank *** (the Bank) received the above-referenced complaint related to the Apple Card via the Better Business Bureau (BBB) Complaint Portal on December 14, 2022. We appreciate the opportunity to address the concerns raised by ********************* (the Customer)related to Daily Cash adjustments.
The Bank conducted an investigation and confirmed no Bank error occurred. The Customers concern references Daily Cash Adjustments totaling the amount of $507.21 which occurred in November 2022, related to credits that were applied to the Customers Apple Card due to fraudulent charges. The Apple Card Customer Agreement details the handling of purchase credits on an account, including that the Bank will charge an account an amount up to the amount of any Daily Cash accrued for the transaction(s) related to the purchase credit (a Daily Cash Adjustment). The Bank conducted an investigation related to the Daily Cash Adjustments and confirmed that Daily Cash in the amount of $507.21 was earned on the fraudulent charges, and $507.21 was sent to the Customers Apple Cash account. The bank is unable to pull funds that were sent to the Apple Cash account. As these were funds given to the Customer they would need to pay this balance from their Apple Cash account. If the Customer no longer has access to the Apple Cash account or has any concerns regarding the funds sent to the Apple Cash account, the Customer should contact the issuing bank for Apple Cash, *************** and advise of any concerns.

A GS bank representative called me 2 days ago and I told them that I contacted green dotbank on 12/19. They were of no help. They told me that this is an issue they can only be resolved by GS Bank. I question why these were paid out at all, since I reported as fraud immediately.
Again, I restate that this account was completely taken over and I have no access to this account. Any funds earned and paid out went to the hackers and not me. Further, I dont understand why I am being placed in the middle. GS bank should either write these charges off or contact green dotbank if they feel it necessary.
As a consumer I cannot be held liable for fraud, period. I believe GS bank is violating federal consumer protection laws. I have filed further complaints with the *** and with the federal reserve consumer protection department. I look forward to this being resolved quickly.

I have never opened an account with Goldman Sachs nor have I ever owned an Apple phone or an Apple pay card. I received a new phone number last month and since then, nonstop, they have been calling and asking for someone that isn't me. I have talked to four different supervisors on 4 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS and they all told me my number would be removed. That has yet to happen as they continue to call daily. It got to the point that I sought legal counsel. Golden Sachs was informed of this legal counsel and I was told that the phone calls would stop immediately. The phone calls are still coming in. They are harassing me and I have nothing to do with them. I don't owe them anything and they won't leave me alone. It is a nightmare. My phone number was even entered on the Do Not Call Registry when I got the number. This has all been explained multiple times and if this doesn't work I am taking the records from all the calls and filing a lawsuit. Shame it has come to this but a complete stranger company is harassing me. It has to stop. They record their calls well I do too and I have no problem spending my money on getting the harassment to stopBusiness Response

November 9, 2022- I made a large payment by accident to my Apple Card in which I contacted apple to cancel. Unfortunately, the payment tried to process through my ********* account but was not successful due to insufficient funds. The amount of $2,072.35 never hit my checking account and was kicked back to apple. November 15, 2022- apple deposited that $2,072.35 into my checking account that was not mine because it never dedicated from my checking account balance. Therefore, I submitted a dispute with USAA to send that $2,072.35 back to apple. In the meantime and same day apple makes a balance adjustment to my card adding an extra $2,072.35 which increased my balance on my credit card. I let them know and provided proof and communication that USAA sent that money back. Since then I have been fighting to get the payment adjustment removed and fixed to lower my credit card amount back down to where it was. They claim to have not found the payment from Usaa which I have spoken with Usaa again and they stated everything cleared on their end and I provided a trace number to Apple (Goldman sachs) plus screen shot proof that I have attached to this complaint as well. I have yet to receive proper help and the issue is not fixed but they made sure to Charge me interest for their mistake. I just want the extra $2,072.35 balance adjustment they added removed from my account. Worse bank to deal with. All they have done is filed dispute after dispute with no resolution for the customer.Business Response

Better Business Bureau:
I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# ********, and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:[Your Answer Here]
The credit of $2,072.35 to my bank account ending in **** from Apple was reversed and sent back to apple/goldsman sach bank on November 14, 2022. That credit was disputed by USAA and sent back using trace number ***************. This is the same information given to apple as of 12/27/2022 with confirmation from a ********* representative through a 3 way call with myself, Usaa, and apple.
This proof has been sent. The issue is the reversal by apple that happened twice. I am not responsible for paying an extra $2,072.25 that was not made in purchases. I am only asking for that amount to be removed from my account. I owe a total of $2354.68 not $4,430.62. Again, all this has been spoken about with apple but I am updating this complaint with this information in order to get the proper resolution and communication that is not happening.
I have provided my bank statement for account ending in **** as proof of the credit being added to my account and then deducted and sent back to apple on 12/14/22. The dispute information was sent previously along with other screenshots. Just to clarify it was the CREDIT that was reversed and sent back to apple resulting in the second reversal on my apple account on 11/15/22.
In order for the BBB to appropriately process your response, you MUST answer the question above.
