Company: Chime Financial Inc
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I was trying to contact Chime, as I bank with them, and needed some documents. So I XXXX 'chime support ' and called the first number that popped up. 

The number I called was XXXX, they answered XXXXChime support ', how can I help you. I explained what I was calling for, and they said, in order for us to help you, we need to verify your information. So I said sure no problem. Then they had me tell them my information, such as social, phone address, etc. Then they had me download a sharing app, and they said I had to do this for verification, so I kept proceeding. I downloaded the sharing app, and gave them the numbers, then they were able to see my phone. I seriously thought I was talking to Chime the whole time. Then they also had me 'transfer my funds to an e-mail. They kept saying i had to do this for verification. and they would send it back, as they have IT on the other line as well. They were very smooth, and just took my money and did not send it back. I was duped, and didn't know, 'till it was too late! They took all my money! 


So then, I went through the Chime app, and tried to dispute it, I explained through e-mails and phone calls to the bank, explaining what had happened. They keep denying my dispute and will not give me my money back. I have disputed it 4 times with Chime, or XXXX XXXX XXXX, and they keep denying me. 

I'm the victim here, I really thought I was talking to Chime, and was scammed, and now Chime won't help me with getting my money back! 

They are just as bad as the XXXX  who stole from me! 

The scam phone number was XXXX, the e-mail they had me transfer the money to is XXXX. 

I just want my money back that the XXXX stole from me, and Chime should be obligated to give it back! 

I have never sent money to this person before, they scammed me. 

I have already reported it to the XXXX  and the FBI.

Company: BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I submitted a complaint to CFPB ( XXXX ) regarding my Barclays account XXXX Below is my original complaint : On XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX XXXX from XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, ME XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX ) mailed a cashier 's check ( # XXXX ) for {$11000.00} to Barclays. XXXX XXXX provided me with a document showing the check was reconciled by Barclays on XX/XX/XXXX. However, the money was never credited to my account. On XX/XX/XXXX, I called Barclays and reported the issue. I provided them the check amount and number and they started an investigation. On XX/XX/XXXX, the company credited a " provisional credit payment '' of {$11000.00}. I received a letter stating the investigation did not produce the check in question so they put the {$11000.00} back onto my account on XX/XX/XXXX. This is reflected on my XX/XX/XXXX statement. On or about XX/XX/XXXX, I reached out again to Barclays and they asked that I fax a copy of the check to them. I did so and they money was credited back to my account. The issue is, I was still charged with late fees for the several months the check was pending. Also, my current amount due for a minimum payment {$670.00} with {$540.00} past due. I called them several times to have the payment amount adjusted to reflect the current balance on the card and also to make the appropriate credits towards any interest and late fees incurred due to the extended timeframe they could not locate the check. They continue to tell me that the balance due is " computer generated '' and they refuse to change it. So, my account has been locked and the company continues to call me to harass me by phone, along with continuing to add late fees onto my balance. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a response from XXXX at Barclays ( letter attached ) stating that the reason for the lost check was because I did not have the full account number on the check. Therefore, it was reconciled but was not added to my account. To clarify any confusion, as I stated in my original complaint, I was not the person who mailed the check to Barclays. Since this payment was part of a debt consolidation loan, XXXX XXXX XXXX mailed the check directly to Barclays. It is their policy. When I received this response from Barclays, I immediately called XXXX XXXX XXXX to notify them of this response and attempt to fix the issue. I showed them the response from Barclays. The credit union stated that they did not write the account number on the check because they included a copy of the most recent statement that I had sent to them when I was applying for the loan. I also attached a signed letterhead from the loan processor indicating they included the statement in the envelope with the check.

Complaint narrative:
Accounts on my consumer report have been linked to identity theft, and I never provided written authorization, including a wet signature, for their inclusion. I recently communicated with your organization about this matter, and I am formally requesting the prompt blocking and removal of these accounts from my report. Their presence has caused significant emotional and financial distress, as they inaccurately represent my credit history and responsibilities. If this issue is not appropriately addressed, I am prepared to take legal action to protect my rights and seek resolution. These fraudulent items on my credit record have hindered my ability to achieve important financial goals, such as purchasing a home and meeting the needs of my family.

Company: CITIZENS FINANCIAL GROUP, INC.
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2023 at XXXX, I authorized a cash withdraw of {$400.00} from an ATM at Citizens Bank at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX VA XXXX The transaction was completed and the fund was withdrew from my XXXX  XXXX Checking Account via my bank debit-card ( XXXX ) : ATM transfer receipt record # : XXXX SEQ # : XXXX XXXX Debit XXXX Total fund withdrew from my checking account : {$400.00} ( including {$3.00} service charge ). 

Unfortunately, because of a mechanical problem with the ATM dispenser, no cash was dispensed, and the display told me to cancel the transaction with the bank. I proceeded to speak with the Citizen bank manager who told me that its ATM are not operating correctly and that I should contact my own bank XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX  to dispute the transaction and to recoup the fund ( {$400.00} ). He further stated that he can neither help nor to provide a record of this failed transaction. 

Being dissatisfied with his response or the lack of it, I called the XXXX XXXX Police to file an incident-report of this issue. An XXXX, XXXX XXXX, was dispatched and created a case : XXXX of this dispute. 

I contacted my Bank, which responded by stating that it can not pursue my dispute as I had legally authorized this ATM transaction and must pursue the return of my funds ( {$400.00} ) through Citizen Bank which had withdraw the same amount from my checking account or to file a petition with the Courts. 

I have tried but am unable to reach any responsible person from Citizens Bank which is denying any obligation to address this dispute or to return my missing fund. Given no other recourse, I am filing a complaint through your Bureau in hope of resolving this issue without the need to pursue justice and missing funds through the legal due process. It seems that it is recurring issue with Citizen Bank and its multiple ATM machines. Perhaps, we can prevent further distress and losses to banking-consumers by auditing Citizens Banks ATM transaction-records and requiring them to take prompt action to return consumers funds in future disputes. 

I thank you for your help.
