Consumer Narrative
Dear CFPB, XXXX XXXX sold it's XXXX Card credit card relationship to Marcus ( Goldman Sachs ) in early XXXX. While the transition commenced after closing in XX/XX/XXXX, I did not actually receive my new credit card until XX/XX/XXXX. During this timeframe, valid charges and payments were made using my old XXXX XXXX card and ACH payments through our bank ( XXXX XXXX ) were sent to XXXX XXXX, which forwarded the payments to Marcus. A balance of {$3300.00} for two valid transactions was due in XX/XX/XXXX. This balance was subsequently paid three times ( {$3300.00} on XXXX, {$4000.00} on XXXX and {$3300.00} through two ACH transactions and one EFT directly from XXXX XXXX ). These payments were made through multiple means to ensure receipt by Marcus as their po box on our XXXX ACH payment through XXXX XXXX was inaccurate. Marcus then returned {$7000.00} on XX/XX/XXXX via check and reversed the third payment in the amount of {$3300.00} resulting in a payment due of {$3300.00}. Marcus then levied a {$48.00} interest fee and {$29.00} late payment fee on our account, despite being paid three times the amount due. Upon receiving our XXXX statement, I noticed additional fees for the amount due and that the payments were never accepted. I immediately contacted Marcus to inquire about why they returned our payments and then charged us fees and interest. I also sent a personal check in the amount of {$3300.00} to cover the outstanding valid balance which posted on XX/XX/XXXX. I have filed two complaints requesting reimbursement of the fees ( {$77.00} ), but they have been rejected for no apparent reason. This behavior is clearly inconsistent with Goldman Sachs values and a means of generating fees and interest. Transition errors, delays and inability to deliver statements should not be used as a basis for charging fees and interest on customers with clean payment histories. I recommend that the CFPB take immediate action to investigate this matter and any other similar situations for XXXX Card customers that have experienced similar irregularities.
