Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Difficulty submitting a dispute or getting information about a dispute over the phone
Company: CLGF Holdco 1, LLC (MN)

I have attempted to file a dispute via XXXX XXXX  website and mobile website, and not only does the website not load but XXXX XXXX website said it was not able to process my request online, not giving me the reason why it was not able to process my request online. I was instructed that the only options available to me were to file a dispute by calling XXXX or submitting one by mail. XXXX is operating its website, with its inability to process my dispute request online and that it is consistently does not function to allow quick, easy and convenient access to my credit file, is operating in an abusive and deceptive manner. XXXX is knowingly, intentionally and deliberately not providing services and functionality to me to allow me to dispute inaccurate information on my credit report. Each time I call to speak to a live agent to assist me, there is, at minimum, five minutes of automated system prompts and up-selling of XXXX products, including its fee-based credit monitoring service and its text message-based options to communicate with XXXX. XXXX also employs online foreign, offshore and customer service representatives not based in the United States. As a result of XXXX XXXX customer service representatives, consumers are forced to speak to agents whose English is often incomprehensible, making it virtually impossible to conduct business related to my XXXX consumer credit file. When speaking to representatives, XXXX XXXX offshore, foreign customer service representatives are rude, abusive and will often disconnect the call at their whim without warning, because they are frustrated. When asking to speak to a United States-based representative, I have been instructed the representative will complete a " call back '' form and that a US-based representative will return my call within 48 hours. Once more, XXXX is using abusive and unfair practices to deny me access to my consumer credit report -- and to correct errors on it that have affected my credit score and credit worthiness. My credit dispute, that I am demanding XXXX  investigate, is from Genesis Card Services/XXXX XXXX , with account # ending in XXXX or XXXX, in the amount of {$7100.00}. This account now has a zero-dollar balance and is paid in full. I have attached copies of my payment receipts that show I now paid this account in full. XXXX must update my credit report to reflect this, and XXXX must also update my XXXX XXXX credit score to reflect the decrease in credit utilization.

There are multiple instances of noncompliance with mandated reporting criteria, thus the information in my report isn't accurate and comprehensive! Having said that, I refute your claims and challenge you to show me that you have the authority to publish this inaccurate, misleading information to my credit report. 

Per 15 U.S.C 1681e Whenever a consumer reporting agency prepares a consumer report it shall follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information concerning the individual about whom the report relates.

According to 12 CFR Part 1022 ( Regulation V ) requires furnishers to : Furnish information concerning accounts or other relationships with a consumer that has integrity. 
Furnish information about accounts or other relationships with a consumer that is accurate. 
C - Conduct reasonable investigations of consumer disputes According to CRRG, in order to make a lawful report, you must follow the Metro 2 compliance standards.

Also as stated in the CRRG Any Deviation From These Standards Jeopardizes The Integrity of The Data. This means that any mistakes in reporting claims can make the information less accurate and it affects the accuracy of any federally regulated reports. 

I'm using my right to object to these erroneous and non-compliant things as a result. You will only demonstrate your lack of concern for my rights as a customer if you ignore my requests. Reporting information that hasn't been verified as ethical and compliant with recognized reporting standards isn't fair. Once more, I contest these assertions and want documentation of the appropriate reporting guidelines. 

You are violating my rights! I have listed the concerns about your reporting in this document. It's not complete and does not meet my standards according to law, you must certify all aspects of required FCRA/ Metro 2 compliance which is done truthfully, correctly ( in a timely manner ), completely AND accurately as well - or else I would have to escalate these issues to the CFPB XXXX FTC and my Attorney General.

Issue: Fraud or scam — 
Company: Chime Financial Inc (TN)

I initiated a direct debit from my Chime account to my mortgage company on XX/XX/XXXX in the amount of {$1000.00}. The funds were removed from my Chime account on that day. 
A few days later I accessed my mortgage account to confirm whether or not I had covered all late fees, and the payment for XX/XX/XXXX still hadn't posted. I had become familiar with Chime holding some deposits for 7 days. Therefore, I allowed additional time in the event that the payment was being held. 
After a week, I contacted my mortgage company about the payment having not posted. They informed me that they never received it. 
I then contacted Chime, and all they will provide me is an account transaction showing the funds leaving my account ; and state that they can not provide the record of the electronic transfer ; proof that my money went to my mortgage company. They are supposedly investigating the situation, and IF they find an error ; THEN they will issue a temporary credit. 
They have refused to void or reverse the transaction so that I can get my money back, which would enable me to send funds to my mortgage company by a different, and not risk missing a house payment. Chime insists that the funds transmitted correctly. But refuse to provide electronic proof ; nor issue my credit they investigate. I feel like they stole my money ; and their evasiveness just strengthens my feelings that I have been robbed by them.
