Issue: Problem caused by your funds being low
Sub-issue: Non-sufficient funds and associated fees

Complaint:
A refund from fraudulent charges caused by a merchant ( XXXX ) whom I never received products or services from. And my bank would not refund them as my other banks did. 

On XXXX XXXX, my bank, Chime, sent me a fraud verification text notifying me of unusual activity on my account. I acknowledged right away that fraud was occurring. Chime then told me to wait until the charges posted to my account from a pending status and then file a dispute in order to get my money back. I followed their direction only to be denied for my dispute in an hour. I kept calling back and requesting proof on their end of denying the claim and they wouldn't provide any info that aligns to my inquiry. I did not make these charges and when attempting to call the merchant, I was further hacked. I did not place an order nor did I receive any products or services from XXXX. Please help me recoup my funds as I have bills to pay.
