Consumer complaint received 2022-06-28 00:00:00
Product: Checking or savings account — Checking account
Issue: Managing an account — Banking errors
Company: Synovus Bank
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
In late XX/XX/2022, I wrote a check intended to be for {$9000.00} to someone from my personal checking account at Synovus Bank in XXXX, SC. Unfortunately, I wrote the check ambiguously and it should have been rejected by the receiving bank. The check was cashed at XXXX Bank in NC ( with whom the recipient banks ) for {$9000.00}. Days later it cleared Synovus for {$9.00} ( see attached ). When, I looked at the check image, I saw the confusion and approached Synovus for advice on how to handle it. I contacted the recipient who verified that it had cleared for {$9000.00}. Synovus sent the balance of {$8900.00} to XXXX on or about XX/XX/2022 with my approval ( see attached ). XXXX claims to have never received this transfer and months later changed the cleared amount from the original {$9000.00} to {$9.00} claiming to have never received the funds causing a nearly $ XXXX shortfall in the recipient 's account at XXXX. I have contacted Synovus multiple times and have been told the money was sent and it is not their problem. The recipient has contacted XXXX multiple times and has been told they don't have it. I filed a complaint with the FDIC who sent me to the Federal Reserve who sent me to you. {$8900.00} is lost and neither bank can/will find it. This should not be possible in an electronic, protected banking environment. All I am asking is for them to make the effort to find the money and return it to me so I can write a new check or send it to the recipient where it belongs. 

In retrospect, I should never have agreed to the {$8900.00} transfer, but I had no idea that the money would just disappear.

Company: Chime Financial Inc
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX I contacted chime bank about unauthorized charges to my account. I explained to them that my phone was stolen along with my wallet because my phone case is a wallet. I had 8 different transactions taken off my account through XXXX XXXX that I did not do. I filed a police report and I also filed a report with identity theft. org I sent them the police report # and the identity theft case # my license and other personal info was stolen also. Chime denied my claim in less then 24 hours stating no error occurred when it did. Im very upset that they didnt even try to help me. Whoever had my phone was able to see everything. I found my phone thrown on the side of the road. Im out of about XXXX bucks I have XXXX children and this is not fair at all. Im filing this complaint because chime doesnt protect their customers enough to even look into the case of unauthorized transactions and they didnt even try to help me. I want my money back this is terrible. I dont have that much money to just give away, that was my money for rent and bills. Im very upset. also the person who stole my phone, was inside of my chime account I added money to my card to get ready for rent not knowing they were able to get in my account and they withdrew money as I added it because it pops up on my phone, they just used XXXX  XXXX  to withdraw funds and also sent funds to themselves. Chime basically called me a liar and said I did it on purpose when I did not. I am now working with police to try and find out who this person is.

Company: Frontline Asset Strategies, LLC
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
I got a Home Internet Kit from a XXXX XXXX  store in XX/XX/2021, but found that the signal was too weak at my home. So I returned it and canceled the service. They told me that I'll get some refund ( evidence email attached ). However, XXXX XXXX did not cancel my service successfully. They kept charging me and I didn't realize this fact until they made phone calls to me. I explained to their representative over the phone, and they told me they'll fix this mistake. After that, I didn't get any phone calls or bills until recently I found a record on my credit. Then I did the following : 1. I submitted a dispute on XXXX XXXX website. But they could not remove this record. 
2. I made a phone call to XXXX XXXX  customer service. They told me they don't have access to my account and asked me to stop by a XXXX XXXX store. 
3. I stopped by the XXXX XXXX store at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, AZ XXXX. People there were very rude and refused to do anything. They just asked me to make phone calls again. 
4. So I had to make a phone call to XXXX XXXX customer service in the XXXX XXXX store. This time I insisted to transfer my call to a manager. The manager explained to me that my account has been deleted. She gave a phone number to the debt collector agency ( Frontline Asset Strategies ). She also promised me to call that agency on XX/XX/XXXX ( I'm not sure if she did that ). She asked me to leave her my phone number. But so far I have not been called. 
XXXX. I made a phone call to Frontline Asset Strategies. They refused to fix that mistake even they could not explain what is included in that {$110.00} bill. Their explanation was " one-month bill plus interest '' ( phone call recording starts from XXXX, see here : https : XXXXXXXX XXXX  ). I have to upload the recording like this because it's larger than 10 MB and I can't uploaded it to " attach documents ''. However, one-month cost is like {$55.00} only. I don't know what kind of interest rate could be that high. They also confirmed that they failed to send the bill to my correct address. So the fact is that XXXX XXXX  mistakenly charged me for two more months. They forwarded my information to the debt collector. They can't fix the record because they have deleted my account. I don't know what else I can do. 
XXXX. After all these frustrating experience, I'm making this complaint on CFPB. I have attached the refund email from XXXX XXXX and the phone call recording with the debt collector as evidence.
