Complaint narrative:
I am formally disputing several inaccuracies currently appearing on my credit report, specifically unauthorized and inaccurate accounts and credit inquiries that I did not initiate or approve. These entries represent a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, particularly 15 U.S. Code 1681i, which requires a proper reinvestigation of disputed items, and 1681e ( b ), which mandates that information reported must be accurate to the maximum extent possible. In addition, I am disputing a potentially misreported late payment. According to 15 U.S.C. 1666b, creditors must allow at least 21 days between the statement date and the payment due date before classifying a payment as late. Based on my records, this standard may not have been met, or the payment was submitted on time and inaccurately reported as delinquent.

State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system.

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

Complaint narrative:
# # # Your CFPB Complaint : What to Write Based on your request and the documents provided, here 's a detailed and factual description of what happened for your complaint to the CFPB. This draft is carefully worded to stick to the facts that can be proven by your documents, highlighting the inconsistencies in the bank 's own records. 

-- - Here 's the text you can use for your CFPB complaint : On XX/XX/XXXX, we opened a new business checking account, number XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX for XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX at a Chase branch in XXXX, NY. On the same day, we deposited a U.S. Treasury refund check for * * {$570000.00} * *. The deposit receipt shows the transaction was processed at a different branch ( XXXX ) for a different account ( ending in XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  ), with a hold until XX/XX/XXXX. The funds were related to a confirmed overpayment from our XXXX tax filing and included * * {$36000.00} * * in interest from the IRS. 

The funds subsequently cleared and became a confirmed, available balance in our company 's account, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX *. However, the bank then restricted our account, and our attempt to initiate a wire transfer was canceled. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, we submitted a formal letter to the branch manager outlining the legitimacy of the check and our corporate structure. We have received no written response or solution to this day.

The branch manager then created a pretext for holding the funds by demanding that we provide a " Notice of Entity Election '' endorsed by the Wyoming Secretary of State. This is an unusual request for an internal corporate document. We were informed this process would take 15 business days. 

In a clear act of bad faith, we complied with this demand by filing the document on XX/XX/XXXX. However, before the 15-day period elapsed, the branch manager unilaterally closed our account, seizing our cleared funds without any further communication.

We have since formally escalated this complaint to Chase 's Executive Office, and it has been officially acknowledged. We are seeking the immediate release of our funds, compensation for damages caused by the wrongful holding of our money, and an investigation into the actions of the branch manager.

Complaint narrative:
Heres a draft you can use ( you can copy and paste it directly into your CFPB complaint portal as a follow-up response ) : -- - Draft Response to CFPB Chime Account Closure I am writing to follow up on my complaint regarding the closure of my Chime account.

Chime previously told my daughter that my account was under investigation, but in their CFPB response they claimed that I requested the account to be closed. These two statements directly contradict each other, and I request clarification in writing.

Additionally, Chime stated that they mailed me a check for my remaining balance. However, the check amount was less than what I had in my account at the time of closure. No explanation was provided for this difference.

I am formally requesting : 1. An itemized closing statement showing : My balance at the time of closure All debits, reversals, and fees applied and list of my last several transactions on my account so I can verify where my money was sent. ( IMPORTANT )!

2. A clear explanation for the discrepancy between the two different reasons provided for the account closure ( under investigation vs. requested closure ).

Chime and its partner bank are required to return all remaining funds to me and provide transparency regarding any deductions. I ask that this information be provided within the CFPB process. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter.
