Company: Chime Financial Inc (TN)

I was called by " Chime Fraud Alert '' about a fraudulent charge that I had not made myself. I declined it. However this person somehow gained access to my account and without me knowing drained my account completely empty to {$0.00}. I reach out to Chime Fraud the next day when I realized this had taken place. They opened a case against this claim, and determined within 2 days that there was no error here and closed the case. I reopened as soon as I found this out. And again, upon investigating claimed there was no error. So, I reopened for a second time and it is currently being investigated. 
There were XXXX fraudulent charges within less than 24 hours of beginning. I do not see how this isn't a text book fraud claim, and should be handled accordingly.

I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the unavailability of my credit data from your bureau. As a diligent consumer who consistently monitors their credit profile, I am troubled by the recent discovery that vital information seems to be missing from your records. Despite being proactive in managing my finances and ensuring timely payments on all accounts, I have encountered significant hurdles due to the absence of my credit data from your bureau. This has not only caused inconvenience but has also put me in a precarious position, especially concerning recent financial transactions and loan applications. I have made numerous attempts to address this issue through your customer service channels, but regrettably, the resolution process has been slow and ineffective. As a result, I find myself facing unnecessary challenges in accessing essential financial services and opportunities.

Issue: Advertising and marketing, including promotional offers — Confusing or misleading advertising about the credit card
Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY (PA)

American Express sent an offer to my existing account blue cash everyday credit card for upgrading to blue cash preferred card, as part of the upgrade the company required us to complete {$1000.00} purchases in 3 months with an annual fees of {$95.00}. After completing the purchases last year, the company awarded the promotion as a statement credit to the account. After evaluating that there was a limited use of the card and in order to avoid future fees associated with the preferred card, the customer requested to downgrade the card to original card. American Express downgraded the card but charged a statement credit reversal to the customer. Upon reaching out the customer service, the following 3 things needs to be noted : 1. American express follows a deceptive practice with promotions violating UDAAP to reverse the promotion even when the customer completed the promotion in the required amount of time 2. Upon reaching out to American express and asking on why there was a charge and disputing the transaction, there was no clear determination made by American Express if the disputed charge was correctly made. American Express representative described that the company will need 2 weeks time to complete determination, however declined to dispute the transaction and the customer is required to make the payment for a charge which the customer has already disputed, violating Reg Z 3. On XX/XX/XXXX when the downgrade was requested over phone, the customer service didn't mention there will be additional charge added to the account following a downgrade or gave customer the choice to make a appropriate decision sharing full disclosure. Again violating TILA and displaying UDAAP Below was the record of the dispute and related complaint ( reference : complaint case number XXXX ) with the company however American Express continues to require the customer to make the payment. 

Please take an appropriate action firstly to ensure customer does have the right to dispute transactions and not forced to make payment, and secondly for following deceptive practices to violate the use of promotional offers
