Product: Checking or savings account — Checking account
Issue: Closing an account — Company closed your account
Company: Chime Financial Inc
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
My Chime account received a legitimate deposit exceeding {$20000.00}. Two days later, Chime closed my account while the funds were still in the account and restricted my access to the money.

Chime failed to refund the remaining balance within the required 14-day period. After an extended delay, Chime issued a paper check, but the check took a long time to receive and required additional verification to cash.

This delay caused serious financial harm. I understand the CFPB has already taken enforcement action against Chime Financial for illegally delaying refunds after account closures. I believe my case involves a substantial delayed refund and should be reviewed for redress and escalation due to the amount involved.

CFPB COMPLAINT EXPLANATION ( UNIVERSAL TEMPLATE ) Company being complained about : [ Collection Agency Name ] Product or Service : Debt Collection / Credit Reporting What happened : I am submitting this complaint regarding the way this collection agency is reporting an alleged debt on my consumer credit report.

This account is being reported without proper verification and contains inaccurate and/or unsubstantiated information. I previously disputed this account and requested validation, yet the collection agency continues to report the account without providing documentation showing that the debt is accurate, that they have legal authority to collect, or that the information being furnished is complete and correct.

The continued reporting of this account has negatively impacted my credit profile and does not appear to comply with federal consumer protection requirements.

What I believe is wrong : The collection agency has failed to properly validate the alleged debt The account is being reported inaccurately and/or without sufficient evidence The reporting appears to violate the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and/or the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) The agency continues to furnish information that is incomplete, misleading, or unverifiable What I have done so far : I have disputed this account directly and/or through the credit reporting agencies. Despite these efforts, the collection agency has not provided adequate proof or corrected the inaccurate reporting.

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint regarding Experian, TransUnion, and Equifax for ongoing violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). I have disputed multiple accounts with the assistance and also with a very helpful company that have helped me prepare them and organize the accounts that contain inaccurate, incomplete, and inconsistent information. Despite my disputes, the credit bureaus have failed to properly investigate, correct, or delete the inaccurate reporting and continue to verify the accounts without providing meaningful results.

The bureaus failed to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation as required under 15 U.S.C. 1681i and failed to maintain maximum possible accuracy under 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ). They also failed to provide a clear Method of Investigation upon request. Some accounts continue to report conflicting balances, dates, statuses, and charge-off information, even after being disputed multiple times.

Issue: False statements or representation — Attempted to collect wrong amount
Company: Credit Control, LLC
State: IA

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX  Consumer Complaint Narrative Credit Control LLC I am submitting this complaint regarding Credit Control LLCs attempt to collect and potentially furnish information related to an alleged debt that I formally disputed and that has not been validated. This complaint is submitted due to Credit Control LLCs failure to respond to a timely dispute and the ongoing risk of inaccurate or duplicative furnishing in violation of federal law. 

Credit Control LLC is attempting to collect an alleged debt in the amount of {$750.00}, purportedly associated with a XXXX XXXX account ending in XXXX. I do not acknowledge or admit liability for this alleged debt. 

On XX/XX/year>, at approximately XXXX XXXX, I submitted a written debt dispute and request for validation via email to XXXX XXXX [ XXXX ] ( XXXX : XXXX ) XXXX XXXX the address provided in Credit Control LLCs written correspondence. Despite this timely dispute, I have received no response, validation, or acknowledgment. 

This same alleged account, creditor, and balance were previously reported and collected by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I disputed that account, and it was deleted, indicating that the debt could not be verified or substantiated at that time. 

In addition, this alleged account is currently being reported elsewhere, raising serious concerns regarding accuracy, duplication, and whether multiple entities can lawfully furnish or verify consistent information for the same alleged obligation. 

Credit Control LLC has failed to provide the validation required under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( 15 U.S.C. 1692g ), yet continues collection efforts. Any furnishing, updating, or verification of this account without first providing competent validation raises concerns under the Fair Credit Reporting Acts accuracy and verification requirements ( 15 U.S.C. 1681 ). 

I am requesting that the CFPB require Credit Control LLC to : XXXX Provide full and competent validation of the alleged debt, including proof of legal authority to collect XXXX Cease all collection activity unless and until proper validation is provided * Cease furnishing, updating, or verifying information related to this account if it can not be fully substantiated XXXX  Correct or delete any information furnished that can not be verified as accurate I am seeking resolution through compliance and correction, not acknowledgment of liability. I am requesting the CFPBs assistance to ensure that Credit Control LLC complies with federal consumer protection laws.

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 XXXX 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.
