Company: Chime Financial Inc

Complaint narrative:
I used an ATM on XX/XX/year>. The ATM did not dispense my cash. I called Chime. They told me that they were under an outage that the money was in my account. I just couldnt see it since the system couldnt update the next day. The money still wasnt in my account and the outage was over. I talked to somebody new. They told me the money was not there. I had to file a dispute. I filed a dispute and now theyre denying my dispute even though I have the receipt saying the ATM did not give me cash. The receipt at the bottom of it for the ATM says declined. It has an error code connection timed out. I talk to the people at the gas station. They said it was a third-party. I tried reaching out to them. I tried reopening the dispute which time I asked them why they denied it. They said based on my receipt, but my receipt says it was declined and I never received my money and they said they cant do anything else about it.

State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Hello, I am writing to delete the following information on my credit report. The following items are listed in the report. I am a victim of identity theft. The charges made on the account were not mine. The items need to be deleted as they are inaccurate items on my credit report. The theft of my identity was reported to the federal Trade Commission. Also, I have an enclosed copy of the Federal Trade Commission id-entity theft affidavit. Please find it in your best interest to delete the items. 


I would like to emphasize the following legal obligations under the FCRA : Under 1681b, a consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report only under specific circumstances, including " In response to the order of a court having jurisdiction to issue such an order, or a subpoena issued in connection with proceedings before a Federal grand jury. '' This provision strictly limits when my consumer report can be furnished, and I do not believe any of these circumstances apply in this case.

Under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), credit bureaus must conduct a " reasonable reinvestigation '' upon receiving notice of a consumer dispute. I am formally notifying you of this dispute, and I expect a thorough and reasonable reinvestigation of all items I've identified. 


15 U.S. Code 1681b outlines the permissible purposes of consumer reports, including conditions for furnishing and using consumer reports for employment purposes. I do not believe any of these permissible purposes apply to the disputed items on my report.

15 U.S. Code $ 1681c-2 a consumer reporting agency shall block the reporting of any.

information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from an alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date of receipt.

15 U.S. Code 1681 Section B ( i ) - Requirements relating to reinsertion of previously deleted material - If a consumer reporting agency removes information from someone's credit file based on the requirements in the preceding section ( A ), the agency can not re-add or reinsert that previously deleted information back into the person 's file unless the entity that originally provided that information certifies that it is complete and accurate.

Issue: Managing an account — Deposits and withdrawals
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I deposited a XXXX XXXX  Loan refund check issued by The XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. The check is drawn on Bank of America, which is also my depository institution. 

When deposited, the funds were initially made available. After the funds showed as available in my account, Bank of America manually placed a post-availability hold on the funds. 

I spoke with supervisors XXXX and XXXX, and both confirmed that there is no hold reason code documented on the account. This indicates that the hold was manual, discretionary, and not tied to any documented reasonable cause to doubt collectability, as required under Regulation CC ( 12 CFR 229.13 ). 

This check is a federally backed educational disbursement and a same-bank item, so collectability is not in question. The bank attempted to justify the hold using generic references to 710 business day deposit policy, which applies only to initial holds before funds are made available, not post-availability holds. 

This action delayed access to guaranteed educational funds and created unnecessary financial hardship.

Company: MOHELA
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
In the fall of XXXX, I received notice from the XXXX student aide that I needed to switch my repayment plan as I was getting close to the end of payments needed to forgive my loan. On the XXXX  aide website it gives you the option to request the correct IDR plan. I requested this in XXXX of XXXX ( which the information is then sent to Mohela ). I received a new payment schedule promptly from Mohela and thought I wan on the right plan. I thought my loans were set for forgiveness in XXXX of XXXX. Then, in XXXX of XXXX I received the notice from the XXXX  student government that I had completed the XXXX payments, but received another notice stating I was on the wrong payment plan so I must continue to make payments for another XXXX  months. I filled out the application for IDR repayment through the XXXX  XXXX XXXX website to change my plan o the correct repayment plan on XXXX, XXXX, XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. Once during the past XXXX  months Mohela completed my payment plan request,, but nothing has changed. I am still not on the correct plan. There is no way to get ahold of someone by phone. I have tried, and also emailed throughout XXXX and XXXX and have yet to get this resolved. I submitted a complaint to Mohela on XX/XX/XXXX and was just told I was on the wrong plan. I have submitted complaints to the XXXX  XXXX  aide website and XXXX  just told I need to get on the right plan with Mohela. No resolve, no customer service help. To date ( XX/XX/XXXX ), my loans aren't forgiven even though I have reached the correct number of payments, because Mohela will not put me on the correct forgiveness plan.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I entered a $ XXXX/month hardship payment plan with Barclays after the account was already seriously delinquent. Under the FCRA, the Date of First Delinquency ( DOFD ) must remain tied to the original delinquency that led to charge-off, even if a consumer later makes partial or reduced payments. 

Barclays and XXXX improperly re-aged this account by shifting the XXXX about 14 months later during a previous dispute, making the account appear newer and extending how long it stays on my report. The account was delinquent long before the hardship plan began, yet it is now being reported as if the delinquency started at the end of that plan. 

I have bank statements proving a consistent {$100.00} payment pattern during the hardship plan, which confirms the account was already in default before the plan started. Despite providing this documentation, TransUnion verified the inaccurate data within just three days of my CFPB complaint without any correction or review of the evidence. I also included a screenshot of transunions former removal date of XX/XX/year>. 

All three credit bureaus continue to verify Barclays inaccurate version of events, despite the clear documentation I submitted. This demonstrates an unreasonable reinvestigation and illegal re-aging under FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) and 623 ( a ) ( 5 ).

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 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.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.
