Consumer complaint received 2025-06-17 00:00:00
Product: Checking or savings account — Checking account
Issue: Closing an account — Funds not received from closed account
Company: Chime Financial Inc
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint regarding the mishandling of a fraud dispute by Chime and the resulting financial harm I have experienced. I have been a Chime customer since XXXX and have actively used my account for personal checking, savings, and the Credit Builder program without any prior issues. 

On XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, I submitted disputes to Chime after falling victim to a scam. I was misled into participating in what was presented as a business funding opportunity offering a {$250000.00} line of credit, which turned out to be fraudulent. The perpetrators withdrew funds from my Chime account through multiple unauthorized transactions from various merchants. In total, I lost {$7000.00} between my Chime and XXXX XXXX  accounts. 

XXXX XXXX  responded promptly and credited the fraudulent transactions. In contrast, Chime delayed resolution and has made the situation significantly worse. After I filed the disputes, I was notified via email on XX/XX/XXXX, that my Chime account would be closed. When I called to inquire, Chime representatives vaguely stated that my account was out of compliance with their policies, without offering any specific reason or clarification. 

Then, on XX/XX/XXXX, I received a letter from Chime stating that a provisional credit had been issued to my account and that I should have immediate access to those funds. However, because the account was closed, I was unable to access the money. I spent over XXXX hour and XXXX minutes on the phone with Chime customer service, speaking to multiple departments including a supervisor from Member Protection and a representative from Escalations. I was told the account could not be reopened and that I would need to wait XXXX more days for a physical checkdespite already having waited XXXX  days. 

This situation is highly distressing. Chime has failed to : Clearly explain the reason for closing my account Provide timely access to the provisional credit issued Resolve a legitimate fraud dispute in a reasonable timeframe Offer transparent communication or accountability throughout this process I am now left without access to over {$7000.00} in critical funds while dealing with the aftermath of a scam. The delay and lack of transparency have created unnecessary financial and emotional hardship. I am requesting the CFPB to investigate this matter and ensure Chime is held accountable for the mishandling of my dispute and unjust withholding of funds.

Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, the tax account at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX who has done my taxes for the past XXXX  years, made a mistake : when I gave her my credit card, she put on it both the charge for her work ( {$410.00}, which was OK ), but she also put on my card, without my realizing until I got home, the {$7400.00} charge for the balance of my XXXX personal income tax. Upon seeing the error, I immediately called XXXX where the office manager apologized and offered to help me to resolve any problems. I also immediately called Citibank Credit Card ( XX/XX/XXXX ) and was told that I had to wait until the charge was posted to dispute it. My credit card showed, in addition to the legitimate {$410.00} charge, a charge for {$7400.00} and a " service fee '' of {$180.00} from the company that was supposed to pay the taxes in my behalf. The company listed for the XXXX unwanted charges was " XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX '' with the phone number -- XXXX XXXX  I think I missed putting in the company name in previous pages. The company about which I am complaining is Citi ( R ) Cards or Citi bank, XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX My own calls to the number both in XXXX and in early XXXX ( the phone is answered ... " XXXX  XXXX ) resulted in my being told that the company had NEVER received a request to pay my taxes and, therefore, had never paid them. Citibank should have received the same information from the company. 

After a week or XXXX had passed, Citibank removed the service fee charge of {$180.00} from my card account. BUT, they have continued to harass me for payment of the {$7400.00} phantom charge even though they have never given me proof of XXXX  XXXX or Citibank or anyone else paying my taxes and even though I have told them and gave them proof ( ACH payment ) that I had paid my own taxes from my personal bank account on XX/XX/XXXX, after first checking with the IRS to make sure that my taxes owed were, indeed, {$7400.00} on that date.

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.

Complaint narrative:
Finding unauthorized accounts, credit inquiries, and false personal information made or reported without my knowledge or agreement completely stunned and grieved me. I've tried to get clarification from the creditors, but they have blatantly refused to give it to me. I demand that the creditors act immediately and be transparent. The creditors must submit pertinent application materials, show proof of express authority for each query, and give comprehensive details about each account and inquiry, including dates, purposes, and the kinds of credit products involved. To see what I'm complaining about, please refer to the attached file!

Complaint narrative:
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.

I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be any confusion or stall tactics on your end. I have maintained a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance.
