Complaint narrative:
Back in XX/XX/2023 I filed bankruptcy XXXX  XXXX and then shortly after around XX/XX/2023 I was contacted by a person claiming to be a law firm and demanded me to pay {$1200.00} to them for a debt from a agency that I supposedly borrowed money from ( such as a payday loan ). I then checked my email on XX/XX/2023 to find that I now have 9 email from them stating to either pay or they will prosecute me for a lot of charges I know nothing about. I advised them during the first phone call I have filed bankruptcy so my debt would be discharged. I am concerned that who ever this company is has stolen my information which is a concern that this company knew my social security number, drivers license number, and my date of birth, email, phone number. All of my personal information including my old address.

Company: Chime Financial Inc
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
" Chime '' sent text informing : " Chime account is ready! Just download the app to access it. '' I didn't know what " chime '' company is and have no knowledge of the account so, thinking this could be phishing text ignored the link given in text and did XXXX searches for the " chime ''. Found out that this company works on credit rebuilding, finance company. Seeing its finance company got worried as why they would have created account for me w/o my knowledge so looked up the customer service number.

Called customer service number and automated services directly greeted me recognizing me from my phone number as existing customer and that increased my doubts even more. Tried many options given on their customer service number and there was no way to get to anyone to speak to.

Weird enough, in next second of hanging up phone, received asking to submit the survey of the customer service. Happen to check emails and saw couple emails from chime already in inbox to welcome and provide survey. This felt like someone stalking with my phone number and email. This need to stop. Can not open account w/o consent and have to provide customer support to resolve the complain. Currently there is no suitable service option on published phone number on the Chime website.
