Consumer Narrative
I tried to apply for the Apple Card Credit Card online on XXXX While filling out the application through my XXXX, I encountered a problem with my address. The application does not accept XXXX XXXX XXXX. I am a XXXX XXXX XXXX participant in the State of Minnesota, and have been for many years. XXXX XXXX XXXX is a confidentiality program designed to protect my physical address so that I can not be found by the person my life is in danger from. The legal address that I was issued by the Office of the Minnesota Secretary of State is a lot number with a XXXX XXXX XXXX. This is the address on my Minnesota State Driver 's License. My bank, doctor, school, and every company I have an account with uses my XXXX XXXX XXXX address as my legal address. I called the XXXX number and was connected with an Apple Card Credit Card specialist at Goldman Sachs . I explained my issue with trying to apply for the Apple Card online and was told that Goldman Sachs only accepts physical addresses as an address for the application. I explained that I was a XXXX XXXX XXXX Participant and all that entails, and I was essentially told that did not matter, Goldman Sachs only accepts physical addresses on applications. I told the credit specialist that I wanted to file a complaint because this seemed discriminatory. She had me talk to her supervisor, who told me the same thing, that Goldman Sachs only accepts physical addresses on applications. When I asked to file a complaint, she said she needed to look up my information first. I gave her the last four of my SS, my DOB, and name. She told me she could not find me anywhere in their system, and thus could not file a complaint on my behalf. She told me I could call Apple and file a complaint with them instead. After hanging up with Goldman Sachs, I called XXXX and spoke with a representative and told her what happened. She filed a complaint with Apple for my situation, but could not resolve the issue since Goldman Sachs will not accept my legal address.
