I called chime minutes later asking how long before the link would be sent to XXXX XXXX phone. I was informed an individual that has a chime account at one time had XXXX XXXX number and they hadn't updated their information. This transaction should have been canceled but Chime told me there was nothing they could do. I had XXXX next to me and explained to them XXXX is the owner of this number. I sent XXXX. I live on a fixed income. XXXX was borrowing the money and was paying me back in 2! days. I have spend the last 7 days on the phone with chime as they continue to dispute my claim. In the meanwhile the chime member that has the same number withdraws the XXXX. This should have been canceled the minute I called and raised a red flag. They ask me to provide proof XXXX owns the phone. Which I did XXXX went to XXXX and had her latest bill printed. Chime never intended on refunding me the monies nnif I wanted to pay a chime member such as XXXX I wouldn't have done the pay ainyone ni did not enter XXXX number I entered a phone number. Chime says its XXXX  fault for recycling s number. I say chime was careless and should have canceled the transavtoon when XXXX didn't receive the link immediately as promised. It's not their money. They don't care or have any interest in protecting their clients. In the meanwhile my bills are bouncing I'm piling upon overdraft and late fees return check fee. This is so stressful.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (MD)

Dear CFPB, I am writing to file an urgent complaint regarding multiple billing errors that I have identified on my credit report, which constitute violations of the United States Code Law, specifically TILA 15 U.S. Code 1666 ( b ) - billing error. 

Violations Identified : Time to Make Payments : As per Section 15 U.S. Code 1666 ( b ) ( a ), a creditor must ensure that each periodic statement is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date. My creditor failed to comply with this requirement, resulting in erroneous late payment notations on my credit report. 

Failure to Reflect Payments Properly : Under Section 15 U.S. Code 1666 ( b ) ( 4 ), the creditor did not accurately reflect a payment made by me on the statement. 

Computation Errors : According to Section 15 U.S. Code 1666 ( b ) ( 5 ), there are computational or similar accounting errors on the statement issued by the creditor. 
Given that the creditor did not notify me 21 days prior with a statement, there should be no late payments recorded on this account. I demand solid proof from the creditor 's bank account records demonstrating that I failed to make the payment and was consequently marked late. This situation clearly constitutes a billing error.

Today XX/XX/XXXX, I had multiple inquires hit my profile. I have not applied for anything. I spoke with supervisor XXXX XXXX ( XXXX XXXX  XXXX ) at XXXX who tried telling my I only had XXXX inquiry. At that moment of him telling me this information I was looking at my credit profile and I could see XXXX inquires from today. I explain how he was giving me misinformation and that it was against my right. He tried to assure me that there wasn't any inquires on my credit profile. I eventually hung up and called back. I spoke with a young lady. I explained that I was trying to dispute the inquires because they were fraudulent she disputed them for me and she could see them. However, she explained that I needed to submit another FTC report. Same thing Equifax stated. I find this unfair and inconsiderate of my time to have to do this each time something fraudulent happens. Also, XXXX stated that I did not have a XXXX XXXX on my profile and stated that I have never had one. However, I have an extended XXXX XXXX with all bureaus. Yet, some how my XXXX XXXX magically disappeared from XXXX. I have been having a XXXX XXXX since XX/XX/XXXX and it doesn't expire until XX/XX/XXXX. I would like that same alert places back onto my XXXX account.

I've learned that the creditor didn't provide the necessary 21-day notice along with a statement, which would have given me enough time to process payments and avoid late fees on these accounts. This mistake has caused a misrepresentation of the payment status, indicating a billing error by the creditor.
