Company: Chime Financial Inc
State: TN

Complaint narrative:
I am reporting repeated unauthorized debit card transaction attempts by a merchant, XXXX, after my business relationship with that company was terminated. 

I canceled my XXXX membership and returned their vehicle due to unresolved disputes. After termination, XXXX continued attempting to charge my debit card in multiple amounts, including approximately {$400.00}, {$510.00}, and {$50.00}. None of these transactions were authorized. 

I notified Chime on multiple occasions that XXXX was no longer authorized to charge my account and replaced my debit card. Despite this, XXXX continued making unauthorized attempts. A Chime representative advised that my account may have been compromised, yet the issue persisted.

The unauthorized attempts stopped only after I canceled my virtual cards entirely, which caused inconvenience and disruption to my banking access. I am concerned that without proper merchant blocking and token removal, future cards or virtual cards may again be vulnerable.

I have filed or am in the process of filing a police report regarding these unauthorized transaction attempts.

Company: TRUSTMARK CORPORATION

Complaint narrative:
We faithfully pay our house payment on the XXXX of every month. Trustmark Bank states they did not receive the payment until the XXXX and applied a late fee. I'm sure this will affect our credit score as well. When I called they stated they can't control the post office and the fee can not be taken off. I requested to speak to someone else and they said it would be XXXX hours and we haven't received a call back. I called again today and they said the same and I again requested management and they said someone would call in XXXX hours. We are NEVER late on our payment. I was asking them to show me the postmark on the envelope to verify it was sent when I stated and they refused. I don't believe I have to prove innocence. I believe they have the burden of proof. But they refuse. For all I know it could have been lost on one of their desks and just not processed appropriately.

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Received bad information about your loan
Company: EdFinancial Services
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint against EdFinancial Services for failing to properly notify me regarding my student loan account prior to reporting negative information to the credit bureaus. 

At no point did EdFinancial attempt to contact me regarding any past-due balance or issue with my account. I did not receive any communication by email, phone call, or mail. Because I was never notified, I was not given a fair opportunity to resolve the issue before it was reported. 

As a result of EdFinancials failure to communicate, negative information was reported to my credit file, which caused a significant and avoidable impact to my credit score. This reporting is unfair and inaccurate due to the lack of required notice and good-faith communication. 

Because I was not properly notified, the delinquency reporting does not reflect a fair or accurate account of my willingness or ability to resolve the obligation. I have already paid off a student loan directly through my university, and I am willing and prepared to work with EdFinancial to ensure my account is in good standing.

To see what I'm complaining about, please refer to the attached file! 

All of the aforementioned accounts, collections, and hard inquiries are the result of identity theft and fraud. I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be no confusion or stall tactics on your end.

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this follow-up complaint regarding fraudulent information on my credit report that remains unresolved, despite my previous complaint filed 30 days ago. I am disputing this information pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 and again request that the fraudulent/unauthorized accounts listed below be blocked or removed immediately. 
I have attached a copy of my Identity Theft Report issued by the FTC ( FTC REPORT NUMBER : XXXX ) as evidence of my claim. 
Under 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, credit reporting agencies are required to block any information identified by the consumer as fraudulent within four ( 4 ) business days of receiving an identity theft report. However, despite my prior complaint and multiple attempts to resolve this issue directly with EQUIFAX, the following fraudulent accounts remain on my credit report : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX These accounts are fraudulent and must be blocked immediately. The continued presence of these accounts is severely damaging my creditworthiness and is preventing me from purchasing a home and accessing essential financial services to support my family and economic stability. 
I have requested verification and copies of contracts related to these accounts from the reporting company, but after more than 60 days, I have received no response. Additionally, these accounts have been removed by other credit reporting agencies due to lack of verification, yet EQUIFAX continues to report them as mine without proper validation. 
I respectfully urge the CFPB to intervene and ensure that EQUIFAX complies with federal law by blocking these fraudulent accounts immediately and providing me with confirmation of such action.

Company: LoanCare, LLC
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint regarding an escrow refund that I am owed but have not yet received. 

More than XXXX days ago, I contacted the customer service department of my mortgage servicer to inquire about my escrow refund. During that conversation, I was explicitly informed that the refund would be expedited and that I should receive it promptly. Despite this assurance, I have still not received the escrow refund, nor have I received any follow-up communication or explanation for the delay. 

This lack of action is concerning, particularly because the funds belong to me and were represented as being processed on an expedited basis. I have made a good-faith effort to resolve this issue directly with customer service, but the matter remains unresolved. 

I am requesting the following : Immediate issuance of my escrow refund. 

A clear explanation for the delay despite the promise of expedited processing. 

Confirmation of the exact amount and payment method of the refund. 

I respectfully request CFPB assistance in ensuring that this matter is addressed promptly and in accordance with applicable consumer protection regulations. Thank you for your attention to this issue.
