Product: Checking or savings account — Checking account
Issue: Managing an account — Deposits and withdrawals
Company: Chime Financial Inc
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I received an {$80.00} deposit from XXXX XXXX into my Chime checking account. This was not a payroll deposit or income it came from a third-party credit-building platform. 

Without my permission or advance notice, Chime immediately withdrew the full {$80.00} and applied it to a repayment. I never agreed to have third-party deposits like this auto-deducted, and I was not given an option to opt out or manage how incoming funds would be used. 

When I contacted Chime support and escalated to a supervisor, I was told a policy update went into effect XX/XX/year>, allowing all incoming deposits to be redirected to pay down balances. However, I never received a direct notification or consent request regarding this change. 

I believe this withdrawal was unauthorized, especially since the deposit was not payroll-related. I am requesting that Chime refund the {$80.00}, and that they be required to provide clear, opt-in controls for repayment sources in the future. 

Ive also asked Chime to formally mark this as a dispute on my account and provide a case number for tracking.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding unauthorized accounts that persist on my credit report despite my repeated efforts to have them removed. These accounts are causing significant damage to my financial reputation and overall well-being. It is evident that the inclusion of these fraudulent items violates 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes, as the credit bureaus have no legitimate reason to report them without my explicit consent. Please refer to the attached file detailing these items I am disputing. 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 my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

Complaint narrative:
I filed a dispute for incorrect information on my credit report. I received an email from the credit bureau stating that they are assuming the disputes are coming from a 3rd party. They in fact did not come from a 3rd party. l even called them to verify it was me and they still refused to process my disputes. I wasted money on mailing my disputes out. I sent personal information to verify my identity through mail, just for them to not thoroughly investigate.

Complaint narrative:
I have been contacting Experian since XXXX XXXX XXXX, asking them to remove dispute comments on an old account for a mortgage I am trying to qualify for. I have called over 30 times and spoken to several reps, all advising different answers and no solutions. Nothing has worked. Agents have stated that there is no dispute remark but when I view their most up to date credit report, it still shows. The Account disputed by consumer remark remains in the comments section and Ive requested removal over 10 times. Ive tried to contact the creditor and the account has been sold off so many times I keep getting looped back around and no one being able to look up the account.

Company: Wolf River Development Company
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I applied for and electronically signed an unsecured consumer installment loan agreement with Elk Lending , LLC. The loan funded around XX/XX/XXXX, with maturity XX/XX/XXXX, estimated 598.369 % APR, and ~ {$2800.00} total payments over 16 bi-weekly installments of {$170.00} from XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX. I received funds but was led to believe this was a straightforward, direct loan from the tribal lender, not a vehicle for third-party monetization at excessive costs ( XXXX principal in charges ). 

The lender fraudulently misrepresented the very nature of the loan agreement, portraying it as a standard transaction while concealing their intent to defraud me and steal my identitymisusing my personal information ( name, Social Security number, bank account, address, and credit history ) to sell, transfer, assign, and/or securitize the debt and promissory note to third parties for profit. This is evident in the agreement 's allowance for assignment/transfer without notice or consent, yet no warnings about these risks or impacts on my rights. Such practices align with Elk 's XXXX complaints for high-rate usury and deception in XXXX. 

By omitting these disclosures, the lender violated the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA, 15 U.S.C. 1601 et seq. ), including incomplete prepayment/rebate info ( no calculation method ) and no details on nonpayment/default penalties beyond references. Pursuant to Uniform Commercial Code ( UCC ) 9-404, I retain rights to assert defenses ( including fraud ) against assignees. This fraud has caused financial harm, stress, and potential credit damage, as I'm demanded to repay while the lender may have profited from transfers.

Complaint narrative:
I requested the correction of inaccurate information directly from the data furnisher. One credit bureau appropriately updated and removed the item following investigation. However, the other credit bureaus continue reporting the inaccurate information because the furnisher failed to correct and update the data across all agencies as required under FCRA 623 ( a ) ( 2 ). This violates their legal obligation to promptly correct and update incomplete or inaccurate information once they become aware of it.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:
I am requesting that Equifax permanently delete the late payments reported under the following accounts, due to the creditors failure to provide proper notice or validation before reporting them : XXXX Account Number : XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX As required under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), a creditor must provide accurate and complete reporting. These late payments were reported without giving me a fair chance to cure the default or even notifying me that the account was past due. 

Because no dated reminders, mailed notices, or email communications were sent to me before reporting the late marks, I am demanding : A reinvestigation into both accounts ; A request to the furnisher for verifiable documentation that proves proper notice was issued before reporting me late ; If no proof is provided, both late payments must be deleted from my Equifax credit file ; I must receive written confirmation of the deletion and an updated credit report within XXXX business days. 

This is a demand for full compliance with FCRA 1681e ( b ), 1681s-2 ( a ), and 1681i ( a ). If not resolved, I will escalate this matter further to the FTC, Attorney General, and consider legal action under FCRA 616 for statutory damages.
