The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) took action against Apple and Goldman Sachs alleging customer service breakdowns and misrepresentations that impacted hundreds of thousands of Apple Card users. Apple failed to send tens of thousands of consumer disputes of Apple Card transactions to card issuer Goldman Sachs, and when Apple did send disputes to Goldman, the bank did not follow numerous federal requirements for investigating the disputes. Apple and Goldman launched Apple Card despite third-party warnings that the disputes system was not ready due to technological issues. These failures meant that cardholders faced long waits to get money back for disputed charges, and some had incorrect negative information added to their credit reports. The CFPB is ordering Goldman Sachs to pay at least $19.8 million in redress and a $45 million civil money penalty, and Apple to pay a $25 million civil money penalty. The CFPB is also banning Goldman Sachs from launching a new credit card unless it can provide a credible plan that the product will actually comply with the law.
