      I had a subscription through Match by way of apple subscription. I cancelled it in February and in March, my apple credit card (with Goldman Sachs) was charged. I disputed it, and was refunded. The same thing happened the next month, and again, I disputed it and was refunded. The charge then showed again the next month and has charged every month through current month at $39.99. I spoke to ***** services after filing a BBB with Match who said it was an apple issue since the subscription was through them. The operator put a pending credit on the charges and stated she would work on it. I then got a message from goldman sachs saying the dispute request was denied but without any clear explanation. I need this matter resolved and the charges all refunded plus interest (*****% APR) as shown in upload.Thank you.

      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 01, 2022. We appreciate the opportunity to address the concerns raised by ********************* (the Customer) related to transaction disputes with the merchant Match.com in the amounts of $39.99.
      ******** conducted an investigation and confirmed no Bank error occurred. The Customer first contacted the Bank on March 19, 2022, to dispute the transaction, and a temporary credit was applied to the account. On March 19, 2022, the dispute was resolved in the Customers favor, and the temporary credit became permanent. ******** sent an email to the Customer on March 19, 2022, detailing the dispute resolution.
      After the dispute was resolved, the merchant continued to charge the account every month, totaling nine (9) unauthorized charges. The remaining eight (8) transactions have been disputed, with one already being resolved in the Customers favor, and another being resolved in the merchants favor, due to a refund issued by the merchant on November 28, 2022.
      The remaining six (6) transaction disputes with Match.com remain under investigation, and the Bank expects completion within two billing-cycles after the date of receipt and no later than 90 days from date of receipt. During the investigation, the Customer does not incur interest for the amount of the dispute and is not responsible for repayment. ******** applied five (5) temporary credits to the account on November 27, 2022, and one temporary credit on November 30, 2022, in the amount of $39.99 each. The temporary credits may not be available for use during the investigation.
      If the monthly balance is not paid in full on or before the due date, Customers are charged interest on the monthly balance for the days until the Customer fully pays it off. The unauthorized transactions charged between May 2022 and November 2022 were disputed in November, and each unauthorized transaction incurred interest. Along with the temporary credits, the Bank also issued an interest credit for each transaction that incurred interest.
      Based on the above details, we kindly request this complaint be closed.

      My husband and I financed the remaining balance owed to Window Nation which advised us there would be no interest charged if we paid the balance within 18 months.I have been charged deferred interest, and finance charges monthly. We were even charged before our first payment was due. There is no number to contact greensky and only messages through them, we reached out to window nation, a gentlemen gave me a contact person who handles the banking side.The person's voicemail is always full and never responds to emails I sent. If i were to pay the minimum amount due monthly those finance charges would eat that minimum payment up and would take longer to pay off and would get additional charges on top of it.

      GreenSky reviewed the loan terms and determined the customer is on a deferred interest plan and the loan terms are accurate.  GreenSky spoke with the customer and explained that the accruing finance charges are disclosed on the monthly statement as a courtesy.  We also explained that if the purchase balance is paid in full by the promotion expiration date, the deferred interest accruing will be waived.  We explained to the customer that her monthly statements, also explains the deferred interest plan and has a statement You are on a deferred interest plan.  To have the total deferred interest waived, pay off the promotional balance by the promotion expiration date of 3/19/2024.  The customer stated the merchant did not explain the loan terms to her this way.  We apologize for any inconvenience the customer may have experienced.  It is our goal to provide excellent customer service and continue to improve our policy.

      On October 30th I was drafted a payment for the same amount ($668.59) from my checking account, first at all this is not possible with the apple card app, second the payment shows twice on the transaction history and now on the October balance, however the statement only considered 1 of the payment and not the 2 payments. I have contacted the customer specialist many times and I keep getting a respond that there is not issues. However, I have the proof and tally all statement and shows that my theory is correct and that the system missed one of the payments. I have spend many hours trying to clarify this, but not luck and I am to the point to bring this to legal terms as I do not get any resolution. On the picture shows the current balance, which is wrong and it should be zero as there was an additional purchase of $1600 and payment of $1030.37. I have attached all transactions and clearly state that system is wrong.

We appreciate the opportunity to address the concerns raised by ******************************* (the Customer) related to the Apple Card balance. 
      ******** conducted an investigation and confirmed no Bank error occurred. On October 29, 2022, the Customer made two (2) payments on the account. Each payment was in the amount of $668.59. The revolving balance on the account prior to the payments being made was $517.09, and the installment balance on the account was $812.00. When the payments posted to the account, the revolving balance was brought to $0.00, and the installment balance was credited and brought to $8.09. On October 31, 2022, the Customer authorized a purchase with the merchant ************ in the amount of $90.87. The $8.09 installment balance was added to the monthly balance and minimum amount due by November 30, 2022. The October 2022 monthly balance in the amount of $98.96 is correct.
      Additionally, the evidence provided by the Customer, which shows the calculation of the balance, only includes the installment payments made in August, September, and October. The full installment purchase amounts of $609.00, $103.00, and $100.00 should be used instead of the installment payment amounts.

      On September 20 of 2022 two checks coming from ******************** bank were cashed by Goldman Sachs. One of them was sent to the wrong address and was canceled by the ******************** bank and the other one was free to be cleared. Somehow Goldman Sachs got a hold of both checks and cash it on September 20 of 2022. After the checks cleared, I called Goldman Sachs and asked if the positive balance left on the account after the payment could be used and I was advised that it could be used and I went ahead and used the balance. On October 10, 2022 my account had been deducted both checks, when I called, I was advised that something went wrong with the checks and that it had been sent back to the ******************** bank, to this day ******************** have not received the refund. I have been calling Goldman Sachs almost every day for the past two months and nothing is resolved I get told that its been sent back and then Im told that theyre not sending anything back because the checks had no funds but if the checks had no funds how could they have sent something back. ******************** representative. ****** called with me to Goldman Sachs asking for proof that a payment was issued as refund and a representative on October 27 of 2022. advised that there was an error on their part and that even though they said a refund was sent there was bo proof because nothing was sent and they were gonna issue a check immediately but nothing was sent. I have been going back-and-forth with them for two months. They are stealing my money, and I have a huge balance on the account collecting interest. It is a violation as they are trying to collect a debt they were already paid.

      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:

      [I was on the phone with the president, an owner of a ********* bank, *************************** *************)who also had their bank (MVB BANK who issued the checks)and viewed their entire account system and there is no such reversal on October 10 and they provided the cashed checks which were cashed on September 21 by Goldman Sachs they are attached on this thread. While one of the checks was voided by the bank because it was sent to the wrong address and I was told by Goldman Sachs representatives to just get it resent to the correct one but somehow they got both checks. One of them shouldve cleared and it did, and it was applied to my account as seen on the Statements I provided in the first message. MVB bank does not have any returned or reversed funds, and I would like proof of the returned checks or whatever was done on 10/10/2022 as I have requested this proof for two months now from Goldman Sachs and they dont provide it. Every time I call Goldman Sachs a claim is raised.And it goes on a cycle.I am told different things every time I call its absurd and frustrating on September 27 I was called by supervisor and thats on record as their calls are recorded I was told that they had made an error and that the check would be created and sent and then I called 10 days later because nobody had received anything and I was told that I shouldve gotten a call by another representative because they werent going to send another check. I need this resolved. My account is Getting interest in my credit is being affected by this..

      I downloaded an app on the Apple play store that gave a free trial period. Upon agreement, there was no charge to be made since it would be free. After confirming and checkout I noticed that a charge was immediately made to my Apple Card. I quickly reported the issue and saw that a few days later it was denied. I reached out to ask why it was denied since it was an unknown charge to me and I could not get an answer. I contacted the developer of the app and they confirm the issue was on their end and tried refunding me but later noticed that the payment was done through Apple and there was nothing that could be done on their end. They told me to try Apple again stating the issue for a refund. I contacted an Apple Card advisor to dispute the charge and I still have not received my refund. The charge to BLK-Dating for black singles on 10/7/22 was unknown to me and I did not agree with the charge of $32.65. How is it that my money should be taken and nothing can be done?

      When a purchase is made with Goldman Sachs' Apple Card, "daily cash" is earned and transferred to the card owner's Apple Cash account. In April of 2022 my Apple account was stolen and the thief maxed out my Goldman Sachs Apple Card with fraudulent purchases. I contacted Goldman Sachs and they reversed the fraudulent purchases but unknown to me, they did not reverse the daily cash transfers.I closed my Apple Card account with a $0 balance but five months later Goldman Sachs sent me a bill with the explanation that "If you return the purchase we charge your Apple Card account to reclaim the Daily Cash. This charge is called a Daily Cash Adjustment." They charged me $312.84 to reclaim daily cash they transferred to an account that was stolen from me that I no longer had access to.I contacted Goldman Sachs and they were able to confirm that I never redeemed the daily cash. I disputed these new charges but they quickly determined that no error occurred on their end. I paid this billed amount so my credit rating would not be impacted but I continued to call Goldman Sachs to attempt to explain the problem and get a refund for my payment. When I called in October, I tried another approach and requested all unredeemed daily cash after April be reversed and sent to me via check. They told me they submitted my request but when I called to check on that in November they were unable to give me a status on that request and only offered to open another dispute, this time for the payments I made. They quickly responded via email and said "we have investigated your request and are unable to refund your payment at this time."Goldman Sachs should reverse the un-redeemed daily cash they billed me for, and send me a check for that amount of $312.84. When they reverse a fraudulent charge they should reverse the daily cash transfer. They should train their customer support to understand this issue better, and apologize to me for wasting so many hours I spent trying to resolve this.

      I have an Apple Card that I stopped the auto withdrawal in the month of October so that my bank would not pull the amount of one thousand eight hundred seventy dollars. Apple never took the payment of **** off of my balance but then later said they had, and added another payment of **** to my balance leading my balance to be over what it should be. They will not help resolve this issue instead they say they will send it in for a dispute before any of this was an issue and I contacted them my balance was something of $2,060, but yet now my balance after only making one transaction after this they are telling me is$ ***** something dollars. None of this adds up if you look at my statements. My credit card doesnt even go up that high. They are not helping me what so ever to resolve this.
