Consumer complaint received 2023-01-14 00:00:00
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
To Whom it May Concern, I have an ongoing issue with information reflected and reported on my consumer credit reports as transmitted and stored with XXXX and Experian. The account in question is an account listed with Timepayment, an account which was paid satisfactorily. I have disputed this item, which is reporting data not in accord with accuracy. Under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, I have requested full data disclosure, including manner of documents used to validate what is plainly a flawed account, listing inaccurate history in multiple instances. 

Using the law as stated, i have tried to get Experian and XXXX to dispute the data and they mark it as meeting The Fair Credit Reporting Act, when it has not. Documents have never been provided and account keeps reflecting data which is inaccurate. 

Because the dispute process is costly, and also because I do not trust the fair and impartiality of these credit reporting agencies, I am asking for this agency to intervene on my behalf and mediate this complaint. 

I am asking that the accounts be verified from their source, because the inaccuracies are affecting my financial prospects adversely with the inaccurate information.

Company: Chime Financial Inc
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX I purchased a XXXXXXXX XXXX. Due to the XXXXXXXX XXXX being discontinued, I was issued a refund of {$100.00} on XX/XX/XXXX to my Chime bank card ending in XXXX. The refund was issued to XXXX, who then sent it to my bank. The account associated with the card ending in XXXX is still active, but the card itself is inactive. 

I contacted XXXX to try to trace the payment, as I had never received it, and they provided a transaction id. I then contacted Chime to trace the payment and have been trying to resolve this with them ever since. They have told me various times that they have no record of the refund or even the original transaction, even though the original purchase is viewable on my Chime portal. I have asked by phone and via email for assistance and have been told they will not/can not assist. 

Additional background : Another refund from XXXX for {$19.00} was sent in XX/XX/XXXX, and that went through with absolutely no issue ( for the same card ). 

The attached email is one of many, I have been pleading with Chime to find this refund for over a month.
