Company: Chime Financial Inc
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/scrub> 2025, Chime closed the claim stating no billing error occurred but did not provide clear evidence showing how they reached this conclusion. 

I called Chime on XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX XXXX  CST, speaking with a representative named XXXX until about XXXX XXXX  CST. He stated that Chime would not reopen my dispute because I did not have proof I did not authorize the transaction which is not possible since the burden is on the issuer to show I did authorize it under Regulation Z ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ). 

I requested copies of all documents used to deny my dispute, as required by law, and was told they would not provide them. They failed to give me these supporting documents, which violates my rights under the Truth in Lending Act. 

I am requesting the CFPB require Chime and its partner bank XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX, XXXX. ) to : 1. Provide me with copies of all documents used in their investigation, 2. Properly reinvestigate this unauthorized transaction, 3. Refund the disputed {$410.00} if they can not prove authorization.

I believe Chimes process is designed to unfairly deny legitimate disputes by putting the burden on the consumer and refusing to provide required evidence.

The person on the phone kept shuddering and lying and repeating himself he didn't do anything How frustrating is it Chime hires all these people overseas because they are too cheap to hire XXXX workers and this is what you get clueless people answering the phone from the XXXX. 

Chime didn't send me any documentation proof on their end of how they came up with their decision. 

I want my dispute reopened or my money refunded immediately, along with the required documents used to deny my claim

Company: Block, Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I was in the hospital for several days and needed to utilize the skip repayment feature until my next payday. Although available to ALL other users, including my partner, the feature was not available for me to use. They refused to address why this would be. Rather than answering my numerous emails and calls, they directed me to a support team that was available only through email. 

The company refused to give me an explanation and only demanded that I pay now even though it was my first time trying to use this feature. 

A few weeks later, I needed to do the same thing with a different loan. I assumed there was a glitch in the system and thats why I couldnt use this feature, but I quickly figured out that it again was not available for ONLY ME. This time the company refused to respond to any emails and the the call center told me they couldnt discuss it over the phone. 

Cash App seems to pick and chose who they provide the skip repayment feature to, and refuse to offer any explanation, leniency, or customer service when comforted about this issue. When directly asked how this was NOT discrimination on their part, they stopped answering and disappeared on me, but still demanded payment immediately ( even though it was the day before the payment was due ) despite the extenuating circumstances due to a medical emergency.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally express my concerns regarding XXXXXXXX XXXX and Bank of Americas handling of disputes, particularly in light of the recent CFPB lawsuit highlighting significant issues with the platform. Despite using XXXX numerous times and reporting discrepancies, my financial institution and XXXX failed to investigate my claims adequately. They informed me that recovering lost funds was impossible and that tracking these transactions was unfeasible. The CFPB 's findings indicate that XXXX has not only neglected to protect consumers but has also allowed repeat offenders to exploit the system, leaving users vulnerable to scams. This lack of accountability and transparency is unacceptable and raises serious concerns about consumer safety.
