Complaint:
I closed my Bank of America checking account in early XX/XX/2018. The final balance was a little less than {$90.00}. I requested for the money in that account to be applied to the balance on my credit card that I have with BofA. When it was not applied a few weeks later I called to ask what had happened. Customer service told me that a check had been sent out to my address. Well, I asked for it to be applied to my Mastercard because I moved. So I did not have access to that address. It is now almost 3 months later and I have not received the money. Customer service keeps giving me the run around and saying they are sending out new checks to my new address but I never receive anything.

Complaint:
Equifax, XXXX, XXXX are reporting that I was 30 days late in XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX which is incorrect. On XX/XX/XXXX, {$1200.00} payment was made. XX/XX/XXXX there was {$1200.00} payment that was made and in XXXX there were payment of {$1300.00} on XX/XX/XXXX, {$1300.00} on XX/XX/XXXX, and {$630.00} on XX/XX/XXXX. The due date is the XXXX of every month, so these payments were not 30 days as it is being reported. 


This incorrect reporting is in violation of the FCRA as the payments were made and the proof of this has been provided to the three credit bureaus Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX. The following documentation is provided from the original creditor of the payment and therefore Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX credit reporting agencies are in violation of 15 U.S.C 1681s and 15 U.S.C 1681n as they failed to accurately validate this information.

15 U.S. Code 1681s - Responsibilities of furnishers of information to consumer reporting agencies.

15 U.S. Code 1681n - Civil liability for willful noncompliance - any actual damages sustained by the consumer as a result of the failure or damages of not less than {$100.00} and not more than {$1000.00} Proper evidence has been supplied from XXXX  XXXX XXXX and these credit bureaus continue to display inaccurate information. Please remove these late notifications immediately and send a letter to me confirming the removal.

Company: Chime Financial Inc
State: NC
Product: Checking or savings account
Sub-product: Checking account
Issue: Closing an account
Sub-issue: Can't close your account

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2021 I receive an item of mail from Chime Bank. In it, there was a debit card for a newly opened bank account. I am not currently a member of Chime Bank, have never had an account with Chime Bank, nor do I wish to ever have an account with Chime Bank. I have contacted Chime Bank a number of times ( still have all the emails ) reporting the account as fraudulent and asking them to close the account. They are continuing to request a picture of a photo ID and the last 4 of my SSN. I know the information they have that is accurate on the account is my name and address since the debit card was mailed to me, but am not aware of any other information 's accuracy and I do not wish to provide them any more accurate information.

I have file a police report since 2 other banks had account opened in my name that I did not open. I called them to report as fraudulent and they investigated and closed the accounts. Chime does not have a phone number for a fraud department so they want me to email those items to them. I instead emailed the police report and apparently that is not acceptable. 

Now on Tuesday XX/XX/2021 a check from Chime Bank was mailed to me for {$87.00} that I refuse to cash because that's not my money and illegal in my mind. I don't understand why it is so difficult to have this account closed.

Complaint:
This is my final attempt to have this account removed from EVERY CONSUMER REPORTING AGENCY INCLUDING XXXX, TRANSUNION, and XXXX. All consumer reporting agencies have tarnished my name and have kept me from obtaining credit. They have ruined my reputation and character. They have violated the FCRA and many other Act as well. This is the last attempt before I seek litigation.

12 CFR 1022.1 Regulation V ( a ) Purpose. The purpose of this part is to implement the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). This part generally applies to persons that obtain and use information about consumers to determine the consumer 's eligibility for products, services, or employment, share such information among affiliates, and furnish information to consumer reporting agencies. 

XXXX ACCT # XXXX is reporting to consumer reporting agencies inaccurate information about an alleged account. I have sent in numerous billing error notices to XXXX  ACCT # XXXX according to CFR 1026 regulation Z Billing Error. 
I have asked XXXX ACCT # XXXX to verify and validate the debt they alleged I owe, and I requested that the ORIGINAL CREDITOR be identified according to 12 CFR 1006 Regulation f The Fair Debt Collection Practice Act XXXX  ACCT # XXXX has failed to validate the debt therefore should delete all unverified information from my account ASAP. XXXX ACCT # XXXX should delete all account information they share with XXXX, TransUnion, XXXX, and any other Consumer Reporting Agency. I did not consent to have my information shared with anyone or company. 

Since XXXX ACCT # XXXX has failed to prove that I owe an alleged debt according to 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ( c ) all consumer reporting agencies should block of information resulting from identity theft. 

I didnt consent nor benefit from XXXX ACCT # XXXX. If I received goods or services, please have a senior executive certify under penalty and perjury that I received goods or services under this transaction.
