I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. 

It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. 

I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

Company: Chime Financial Inc (TX)

I was scrolling on social media one day and came across something about palm reading. It seemed interesting so I went through with it. Towards the end, in order to get results I had to pay {$1.00} which was not a big deal to me. Going through the steps it led me to a website called XXXX It said something about {$1.00} for a 7 day free trial and then I can see the outcome of my results. I paid {$1.00} on XX/XX/year> and I go to cancel the free trial the next day. I was only given limited features even with the free trial so I didnt locate a cancellation link under my account nor a contact form within the website. On XX/XX/year> is when I went to try and cancel the free trial early before I forgot about it. I also checked my bank account and noticed I was already charged the full amount of {$45.00} for the full subscription but Im only on day 2 of having the free trial. Once the transaction settled I contacted Chime to file a dispute and explained everything to Cust support and the dispute came back denied. The website appnebula doesnt provide refunds but this is in fact fraud. I contacted Chime again on XX/XX/year> to re open the dispute. They sent me an email from a non reply address requesting info to help in my dispute. I cant reply to the email as it doesnt accept incoming mail and theirs no portal to submit documents as the original dispute under dispute history tab doesnt allow it for the re-opened dispute. They gave me a provisional {$45.00} credit and days later on XX/XX/year> the denied the claim again, reversed payment which cause that Chime account to go negative. I requested information used in their investigation with my initial claim and was given insufficient evidence. They literally used what was supplied to them from me.

Despite the multiple previous written requests, the unverified accounts listed below still remain on my credit report in violation of Federal Law. You are required under the FCRA to have a copy of the original creditor documentation on file to verify that this information is 100 % true, accurate & correct. 

In the results of your first investigation and subsequent reinvestigation ( s ), you stated in writing that you verified that these accounts are being reported correctly? Who verified these accounts? You have NOT provided me a copy of ANY original documentation ( a consumer contract with my signature on it ) as required under Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ). Furthermore, you have failed to provide the method of verification as required under Section 611 ( a ) ( 7 ).

Section 616 and Section 617 provide me with a remedy which Im about to seek. You are willful non-complying with the FCRA.

Since you claim youve verified the accounts listed below I wanted to confirm my thoughts and contacted the banks directly. They did not provide me with any verifiable proof. So, my question comes up again, WHO VERIFIED THESE ACCOUNTS? I believe you have not verified these accounts based on Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & I will be seeking a legal remedy.
