Product: Checking or savings account — Checking account
Issue: Managing an account — Funds not handled or disbursed as instructed
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I was scammed into sending {$270.00} through XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX for what I believed was a legitimate transaction. I was misled by the recipient, and only later found out this method had no buyer protection, something Wells Fargo never warned me about. 

I tried to provide the scammers full name, address, and phone number, but Wells Fargo told me it that they are " not the police, '' then closed my case without further investigating the deception. 

I am submitting this complaint because Wells Fargo refused to assist, even when I attempted to provide clear evidence that I was misled. This is a failure to protect consumers under fair banking and fraud handling practices.

Complaint narrative:
I am concerned about the validity and accuracy of your recent investigation of these accounts that are reporting on my credit report. Last month I requested an investigation because I felt the item was not being reported legally. Couple of days ago I received a letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA. 

I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be any confusion or stall tactics on your end. I have maintained a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance.

Company: Chime Financial Inc
State: AL

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Chime Instructed Me to Endorse Check For Mobile Deposit Only Then Rejected It Complaint : I attempted to deposit a check using Chimes mobile check deposit feature. The app required me to write For Mobile Deposit Only under my endorsement on the back of the check. I followed their instructions exactly. 

After doing so, Chime rejected the check. Because it was marked " For Mobile Deposit Only, '' no other financial institution will now accept or cash it, and the check is effectively void. I contacted Chime for help, but they provided no resolution or explanation for why the check was rejected after following their required process. 

This has left me unable to access the funds Im legally entitled to. I must now go through the inconvenience and delay of having the check issuer cancel and reissue the checkall because of instructions from Chime that directly led to this issue. 

I believe Chime should be held accountable for providing flawed guidance that caused financial harm and inconvenience.

Complaint narrative:
My credit report should only reflect accurate information, which is why its important to verify the accuracy of this data rather than relying solely on what the data furnisher has provided. Its frustrating to see my credit get negatively affected by inaccuracies that arent my fault. I'm deeply concerned about these errors and they've been causing me stress and it's also impacting my ability to secure new credit. They are mixed, fraudulent information that Ive never authorized or benefited from. This situation is unfair and I need you to address this as soon as possible to prevent further damage.

This account is reporting a late on XX/XX/year> that I was never late on. They then notified me that I was past due and I had no knowledge of this. When I got notified of that I made the payment and the system then proceeded to let me know I was 12 hours past the cut off. This seems unreasonable as I did make my payment on this account.
