Company: Chime Financial Inc
State: WI

Complaint narrative:
I received a text on XX/XX/year> @ XXXX from what seemed to be Chime, the banking app I use. It stated there had been a suspicious purchase and requested the confirmation. I replied N for No. Another text came through stating a Chime Rep will call me. Seconds later, I received a call, not knowing Chime never calls unless requested. The person on the phone convinced me to transfer funds to put into a new secure account, as soon as I did the call dropped. XXXX was put out of service immediately after that. I contacted Chime about the transaction, reporting Fraud. They opened a case and " found no error '', stating I would not get my {$4700.00} back. I disputed again, but have not heard back. I realize it can take up to 45 days, but the first response was so immediate and disheartening. There's NO way to reverse a transaction like this? That was everything I had, and it took a year to save.

Issue: Other features, terms, or problems — Problem with rewards from credit card
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
I opened the Citibank Costco credit card for the rewards program. They have 4 reward categories ( 4 %, 3 %, 2 %, 1 % ) for different types of purchases ( gas, restaurants, costco, etc ), however, you can not see how any of your purchases align with the rewards as there is only a lump sum earned for each month visible to the customer. Unlike my XXXX card which itemizes and display the earnings, I find this to be a significant concern so I contacted Citibank to ask for an detailed report to show how the rewards were being accumulated. I was connected with a very rude supervisor ( Mynor # XXXX on XX/XX/year> at XXXX EST ) and told that this isn't available and that there was no process for filing a complaint or to address my concern. This response elevated my concern in light of some recent publications regarding credit card companies inconsistently or inappropriately appling these promised rewards to customers. I don't understand why they are not able to show how they arrived at the reward values and am concerned about the transparency of this rewards program.

Complaint narrative:
I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. 

It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. 

I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.
