Company: Chime Financial Inc
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Since XX/XX/year>, I have been attempting to obtain a refund from Chime that remains unresolved after more than XXXX months. On that date, my account was charged twice by XXXX in the amount of {$19.00} each ( totaling {$38.00} ) for products that were never received. On XX/XX/year>, I was charged an additional {$19.00} by the same company, again for products that were never delivered. Total : {$57.00}. 
Immediately after noticing the charges, I contacted XXXX to dispute them, as well as Chime to initiate a refund.In XXXX, Chime informed me that an investigation into these transactions would be conducted. However, despite repeated follow-ups, no refund has been issued. 
I also encountered difficulties submitting supporting documentation. The email addresses provided by Chime were no-reply addresses, preventing me from attaching and sending the necessary evidence. I informed XXXX customer service, who stated that was a technical support issue that they do not handle. 

Upon reviewing Chimes handling of customer complaints and public reviews, I discovered multiple class action lawsuits and legal actions filed against the company However, for Chime Notably, XXXX of the most prominent cases involved delayed refunds to customers within a specific timeframean issue that mirrors my situation I am currently experiencing with Chime. 
My request has been straightforward : that the {$57.00} owed to me be credited back to my account. Additionally, there is a separate {$15.00} charge from another company that had previously been reviewed by Chime and deemed non-fraudulent. I inquired again about who conducted that investigation and, if this company was later determined to be fraudulent, why the charges were still allowed to remain. My questions received no response. 
At present, the {$15.00} charge remains on my account, and the {$57.00} refund owed to me has not been issued. In total, the unresolved charges amount to {$73.00}.

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.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: TN

Complaint narrative:
Experian routinely does not process monthly reporting information from several of my creditors. This causes my credit score to be lower than it should be and has caused financial damage. Experian needs to process data as soon as it arrives from creditors. There are many times that Equifax and Transunion shows updated data and Experian completely misses it, not updating the account until the following month or even later. 

I repeatedly have to dispute account information just to get routinely reported data updated on my credit report. I am asking that Experian fix whatever internal processes they have to correct these delayed or missing account updates.
