Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year> I disputed several unauthorized charges that were made from my chime account.

I responded to Chime when they asked me to provide contact information but they did not reach out to me. I also emailed chime asking where I could submit supporting documents regarding my disputes but received no response.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to follow up on my previously submitted complaint regarding inaccurate and unauthorized information reported by XXXX on my credit report. Despite my formal dispute submitted to Experian and TransUnion over 30 days ago, the reinvestigation remains unresolved, and XXXX has failed to respond or verify the account in question. 

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), credit reporting agencies are required to complete reinvestigations within 30 days of receiving a dispute. Additionally, furnishers like XXXX are obligated to respond to verification requests from the bureaus under 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2 ( b ). XXXX failure to respond violates these provisions. 

Equifax has already removed the disputed account from my credit file, acknowledging its unverifiability. However, Experian and TransUnion have yet to take corrective action, and the account remains inaccurately reported as charged off with a balance of $ XXXX no authorization or substantiating documentation. 

I respectfully request that the CFPB take further action to compel XXXX to respond and ensure Experian and TransUnion comply with their obligations under the FCRA. This unresolved reporting continues to harm my creditworthiness and financial stability. 

Please let me know if additional documentation is needed. I appreciate your assistance in enforcing consumer protection laws and ensuring fair credit reporting practices.

Complaint narrative:
I am continually being called on the telephone by this agency over an alleged debt. I am requesting validation of this debt. This account has been reporting inaccurately. I wanted to dispute this account because of this and it was affecting my credit report. I am having problems with this unfair treatment. I am sure that I settled this account before because it was not mine. This account was taken care of with the original creditor and promised me to update it out of my report. Therefore, this account is unverifiable. This is an error that you need to look into, so please do your investigation on this and remove or delete this account from my credit report.
