Company: Chime Financial Inc
State: IL
Product: Checking or savings account
Sub-product: Checking account
Issue: Problem with a lender or other company charging your account
Sub-issue: Transaction was not authorized

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2022 a representative from XXXX ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) called and we discussed moving forward with having a trademark application filed on my behalf. I changed my mind at the end of the call, because something felt off, and Informed them of this verbally AND then in writing via email, but they proceeded to charge my debit card anyway ( which they had on file ). I asked them to refund it and was ignored. I've been ignored since they took the money. No paperwork has ever been given to me, nothing has ever been filed with the XXXX, I have no written contract, no trademark paperwork done, and did not agree to the money being taken. 

The address they use apparently doesn't actually exist. They have since changed the business name on XXXX maps to something else unrelated. 

Chime bank has denied my chargeback case 6 times despite having a police report, verification from XXXX that an application was never filed on my behalf, copies of our communication. Chime refuses to give me copies of whatever this company gave them. I had {$1000.00} taken and I was given nothing in return. Chime has not provided any of the supporting documents for over a month despite saying it would be within 10 days. I've asked repeatedly. They will not tell me why it's denied.

State: GA
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Unable to get your credit report or credit score
Sub-issue: Other problem getting your report or credit score

Complaint:
So my problem is with Discover Credit Card XXXX. I really feel like they're intentionally trying to get my application declined and i feel like its because of my race. My credit score is well over the required score and still they are giving me the complete run around. They are intentionally trying to drop my credit score y giving me a bogus excuse as to why i have to give them a call back, but every time i call back they are giving me a hard inquiry on my XXXX. The excuse is my phone number hasnt been updated with experian. I updated my phone number with experian the first day i was notified by discover that it needed to be updated. i received an email from XXXX the same day stating my personal info was updated, but yet discover keeps giving me the excuse that my phone number hasnt been updated. Now when i call they give me the excuse that their system is updating and to call back in 48 hours. But they only tell me this AFTER theyve pulled a hard inquiry. So what they're doing is they're deliberately trying to keep giving me hard inquiries until my score no longer qualifies me for a line of credit so they can decline my application. This is not fair and i feel like its definitely XXXX. So many of our financial instituations are declining minorities for lines of credit during these times and its unconstitutional. Something has to be done about this immediately. I know im not the only one experiencing this type of discrimination.

Complaint:
In 2012 I sent money to XXXX XXXX first was XXXX, then XXXX then XXXX which they matched the amount of the secured card. And stated once I graduated they would return the full deposit. So after that the card was paid down and then during pandemic cards stared either lowering or closing cards all together. I asked them to return any unused portion of the deposit. Have disputed it with the 3 bureaus an still on my report and til this day no funds have been issued. Nor a letter stating why they haven't returned in all these yrs, since they closed my account. Per experian they show invalid dates and per the FCRA, it shows they are not following the steps and haven't provided accurate or updated information to me US code 1679c. I would please ask that the inaccurate account be removed and never be put back as retaliation

Issue: Problem when making payments
Sub-issue: Problem during payment process

Complaint:
I received a bill from Ginnys and under a certain amount owed amount ( {$100.00} ), the payment is suppose to be {$10.00}. The bill I received says I owe {$20.00} due by XX/XX/2022. The balance I owe is less than {$100.00}, at {$81.00} so my payment should be {$10.00} per month until paid off. The billing payment schedule says the same thing, is balance is under {$100.00}, then monthly payments are ten dollars per month, ( see attachments ). When I called to speak with a rep in the credit department about it, all I got was rudeness, and indifference, ( poor customer service ), what a bad way to treat customers. I ask the rep in the credit department to close the account effective immediately as I won't do business with a company that doesn't honor it's payment agreements with customers. i have been paying ten dollars a month as " required '' for the past two months or so, and I am not behind and my account is current, never been late with a payment.

Complaint:
As of this date, XX/XX/2023, TRANSUNION has not UPDATED my credit report. My credit report is reflecting OLD information and I am attaching screenshots of the information TRANSUNION is reporting to validate my claims. As a result of this OLD information, my FICO score has dropped XXXX points!!!! This should NOT be the case!!! My creditors have all reached out to TRANSUNION via USPS mail and fax to REPORT that I have XXXX balance!!! I do NOT OWE anything nor do I owe any monthly payments to any of my creditors!!!! By now, my FICO score should have increased by MANY points because of my EXCEPTIONAL payment history instead of dropping!!!! I shouldn't have to need the intervention of the CONSUMER FINANCIAL PROTECTION BUREAU ( CFPB ) to have INACCURATE information on my credit file CORRECTED!!!! I have a LEGAL right to ACCURATE CREDIT REPORTING!!!!

Inaccurate reporting AFFECTS my relationship with my creditors!!!!!!
