Company: Chime Financial Inc
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally raise serious concerns regarding Chimes handling of disputes, particularly in light of the recent CFPB lawsuit that revealed systemic deficiencies within the platform. Despite my repeated attempts to report discrepancies, both Chime and my financial institution failed to conduct a thorough or effective investigation into my claims. I was told that recovering lost funds was impossible and that tracking these transactions could not be accomplished. 

The CFPBs findings suggest that Chime has consistently neglected its duty to protect consumers, enabling repeat offenders to exploit the system and leaving users highly vulnerable to scams and fraudulent activity. This pattern of inadequate oversight, lack of transparency, and absence of accountability is unacceptable and underscores the urgent need for stronger consumer protections. 

I urge Chime to take immediate corrective action to address these deficiencies, prevent scams, and ensure that all users are treated fairly and protected from financial harm.

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 TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. " I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

State: CA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, I filed three similar billing disputes with Bank of America regarding charges from the XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX. All three involved the same merchant and similar circumstances. 
Bank of America has processed two of the three disputes : Claim ID XXXX ( {$2400.00} ) - Resolved in my favor Claim ID XXXX ( {$1900.00}, spouse 's account ) - Decision provided Claim ID XXXX ( {$1000.00}, my account ) - No update after 103 days On XX/XX/year>, I filed a CFPB complaint seeking assistance with the remaining dispute and requesting that the investigation be forwarded to the merchant bank for resolution. 
As of XX/XX/year> ( 103 days after filing ), I have not received any update on Claim ID XXXX. I understand investigations can take time, but I'm concerned about the extended timeline, especially since the other two disputes were completed.

I promptly responded to all Bank of America 's requests for additional documentation and have been cooperative throughout the process.

I am hoping CFPB can help facilitate communication with Bank of America to : ( 1 ) obtain a status update on Claim ID XXXX, ( 2 ) understand the timeline for a final decision, and ( 3 ) bring this matter to completion. 
I appreciate Bank of America 's service and am simply seeking clarity on the status of this remaining dispute so I can close this matter.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I recently obtained my credit report and found information that is inaccurate and harmful to my credit history. Specifically, my credit file contains an account ( XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) that I never authorized to be reported, nor did I give my consent for it to be furnished to any credit reporting agency. 

At no time did I provide written authorization, verifiable electronic consent, or any other form of permission allowing this information to be included in my credit file. The presence of this unauthorized collection account has caused significant and ongoing harm to my credit profile and financial opportunities. 

LEGAL VIOLATIONS : FCRA Section 604 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681b ) Lack of Permissible Purpose A consumers credit file may only contain information obtained for a permissible purpose, which generally requires the consumers express consent. The inclusion of this account and the related inquiries in my filewithout documented proof of my consentconstitutes a direct violation of this section and represents the unauthorized use and disclosure of my non-public personal information. 

FCRA Section 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) Blocking Disputed Information When a consumer submits a valid identity theft or police report identifying disputed items, the credit reporting agency must block that information within four ( 4 ) business days. I submitted such documentation through my Police Report ( XXXX XXXX. XXXX ), which clearly identifies the disputed account. Despite this, Experian continues to report the account and related inquiries, causing ongoing harm. 

FCRA Section 607 ( b ) ( 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) ) Maximum Possible Accuracy Experian has failed to maintain only accurate, verifiable, and complete information. The lack of verifiable documentation from the furnisher or the agency demonstrates that this legal standard has not been met. Reporting an account that lacks any proof of authorization violates the CRAs duty to ensure maximum possible accuracy. 

PERSONAL IMPACT : I have been denied for legitimate credit applications due to this unauthorized account. 

When approved for credit, I am forced to pay significantly higher interest rates. 

I was recently denied rental housing because of this negative information. 

My insurance premiums are higher due to credit-based pricing. 

This has caused ongoing financial stress, embarrassment, and time loss as I work to correct information that should never have been reported.
