Subject : Request for XXXX Form Account Charged Off To Whom It May Concern, I am writing regarding an account that appears on my credit report under your companys name and is marked as a charge off.

Company: Chime Financial Inc

Complaint narrative:
XXXX, I have XXXX issues that this complaint is based on. 

XXXX. Poor Service! Chime is a XXXX company who doesn't have its own Banking operation. XXXX  % of their customer service is deliver thru a computer answering machine. If your issue doesn't fit in XXXX of the XXXX choices given it extremely difficult to contact a human operator. You're routinely hung on when you dial XXXX. It has taken me XXXX or XXXX times to evently reach a human operator. 

XXXX. It takes crazy amounts of times to get things done for their customers. 
a. A friend I recommended to them gave up in frustration and decided he wanted his account closed. He requested a check for the money in his account. It took almost XXXX months to receive his money. The gentleman 's name is XXXX XXXX. XXXX - XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX, I filed a fraud for a complaint for {$64.00} against XXXX XXXX I was told it would take XXXX days to investigate it. 

XXXX. Not enough humans helping Customers. I'm a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I don't need more unnecessary stress. 

XXXX. Untrained rep 's half waiting on customer with the mind set of getting the customers off the phone ASAP. A couple of weeks ago I had a scenario where I thought my Social Security check wasn't deposited around the due date. ( XXXX Wednesday of month ) I eventually got talked to XXXX Chime reps and they told my check hadn't been deposited. So, after contacting Social Security, they assured me my check had been deposited as normal to my checking account used over the last XXXX months. Because of this I called and spoke to XXXX Chime rep who give me the same story. ( No Deposit ) Neither of the XXXX professionals thought to look in my deposit history. If XXXX of those XXXX had taken XXXX seconds to look like I did a week later they would have found out my check had been deposited a week earlier. This is the first time it came that much earlier. I admit to missing it. But the bigger problem is all XXXX Chime reps also missed it as well. 

XXXX. I feel I am being punished for filing, my first complaint. It seems suspect the timing of my fraud filing was on XX/XX/XXXX, then right after the time they should have received my complaint. I received a denial on it. I requested a look at the documentation which was used to deny my claim. To which I haven't received a response. 

Inclosing, I apologize for filing a false claim. I thought I could depend on the information provided by XXXX different rep 's saying the same thing but I was wrong to trust them.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CA

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 recently conducted a review of my credit report and found several items that have caused me significant distress. These items appear to be unverifiable, inaccurate, and questionable. Your agency has failed to ensure the accuracy of the information as required under 15 U.S. Code 1681e ( b ) Accuracy of Reports. This statute mandates that consumer reporting agencies must follow reasonable procedures to ensure the maximum possible accuracy of the information they report.

Furthermore, under 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( 5 ) Treatment of Inaccurate or Unverifiable Information, you are required to promptly delete or modify any information found to be inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable during a reinvestigation. If you are unable to provide me with verifiable proof of the accuracy of the disputed items within 15 days of your investigation, these accounts and the related information must be removed from my credit report.

Additionally, under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), I do not recognize any of the alleged creditors or debt collectors. I have never entered into a valid contract with any of these entities, nor have I engaged in any transactions with them. As such, these accounts are fraudulent and may be the result of identity theft or other illegal activities. Attempting to enforce these fraudulent accounts is unlawful. I request that you expedite your investigation to prevent further harm, losses, or damages that I may suffer as a victim of identity theft. 

Moreover, under the Fair Credit Billing Act, my right to privacy has been violated, and this breach infringes upon my rights as outlined in The Privacy Act of 1974. Removing the inaccurate and fraudulent information from my credit report will help restore my privacy and prevent further violations.
