      July 16th I used Chimes Mail a Check program to send money to a lending company for a down payment on a house. July 26th their bank, *************************** attempted to cash the check. July 29th they got a notice from Chime with a rejection to cash the check. When contacting Chime, they told us repetitively that it was cashed and they could not access it. July 30th ************************** filed a charge back to return the funds to me, as we found another method to complete the down payment. Since then I have had several calls with Chime and have received no assistance. The total amount for the check was $4100.00. This was my entire savings put toward this house and I have been left without this money or any sign that it would be returned to me. August 5th I called again and they created a claim to escalate the situation to find an answer. I was told that I would have a response within ***** hours on the matter. It is now August 7th and I have not heard from them or seen any activity on my account showing that my funds would be returned. I am at a loss at this point on what to do and am looking for assistance in any way to push then to resolve the problem. Chime send me a copy of the check from when ************************** attempted to cash it and the letter head includes Bank of America. I have not gotten any confirmation or explanation as to why they were involved in the matter. I would like this to be resolved quickly, as not having $4100 is causing much stress.

      $10,000 was stole out of account while I was incarcerated and they keep denying the dispute. There were 2 separate disputes. One for $3000 and one for $7000. They approved the $3000 one and have denied the $4000 four times now. I've uploaded a identity theft report, a police report, documentation proving that I was incarcerated during the time the transactions were made. I need my money back and they are steadily playing games.

The transactions were all at the same time. I even filed for identity theft and sent yal that documentation.... this makes no sense. I want my money back and if I have to sue, for what is rightfully mine, then I will most definitely do that!!! I just got an email saying yal denied my claim AGAIN!!!  I will not stop until I get my money back!!!  Do the right thing and quit stealing people's hard earned money!!!!

I am extremely dissatisfied and disappointed that they are giving me such trouble, getting back what was mine to begin with. I am very sick. I need my money back so I can get my prescriptions that I have not been able to get since I got out of jail on June 19th.  I sent proof that I was incarcerated from Nov 02, 2023 until June 19, 2024. So how could I make transactions from jail? My money was stolen. I filed a police report and filed identity fraud. What else do yal want me to do to be able to get back what is rightfully mine!!!!  It's not fair and it's not good business. They have denied my dispute again!!!!  And I asked over 10 days ago if they would send me the paperwork on reasons why they denied my dispute the last 3 times and I have yet to recieve any paperwork stating why they denied my dispute. When I requested it, they said I would recieve it in 10 days and it's been well over 10 days and I haven't heard recieved anything from them. I want this settled asap. I've waited long enough for what is rightfully mine!!!!

      I have been banking w/ this entity for years more than 4-5yrs even applied for home loans and other programs throughout the acct. Last month I called because I was trying to use my act. since I get the 2 day pay in advance through them. Even certain institution that I work for ****************** Fultang, Metro Nursing and other staffing agencies. I called today around 08/04/2024 around 14:00-15:00Hrs. I was being xfered to all types of departments even after authenticating myself. I was made aware of a balance of roughly estimated close to $4 thats why they said they close my account. I spoke w/ **** that violated banking laws and federal laws by posing themselves to be of such people they not because everyone that has even worked for a banking institution know that for safety reasons, you don't ever give out your personal information, and work place safety. Not only did this person give me there name but also gave me there whole employee number. I asked for many thing which by law I have the right to under 15 USC 1681n federal statute which clearly I want enforced into this. The Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S.C. 1681 et seq., is federal legislation enacted to promote the accuracy, fairness, and privacy of consumer information contained in the files of consumer reporting agencies.I will be sending them a cease & desist letter as well to entail that I would like all my information removed from there software or data since it's my personal info w/ my own SSN. I tried to de-escalate the situation by just elaborating to them exactly what my inquiry is but for some reason he rather I be irate than to have a calm grown up conversation like most adults.

      On December 23, 2020, ********'s Credit Builder card was disabled due to delinquency.
       
      Please note that missed payment will cause the Credit Builder card to be disabled, and we will ask members to pay the overdue balance using automatic payments, transfers from their spending account, or an ACH before members can continue using their Credit Builder Card. If members do not pay the balance due in 60 days or more, the account will be closed, and we may report information about the Account to credit bureaus. Late payments, missed payments, or other defaults on the Account may be reflected on their credit report. 
       
      On February 21, 2021, our records indicate that ********'s Credit Builder account was closed due to missed payments. 
       
      On November 25, 2023, ********'s Checking account was also closed due to a previous negative balance. Due to Chime paying off the negative balance, repayment is no longer available.
       
      Chime reports information accurately to the three major credit bureaus. Our records further indicate ********'s account is being reported accurately. To remain fair and impartial to all our members, we are unable to modify our credit reporting procedure.

      I had attached all my documentations such as emails from chime as well as the law related to unauthorized transactions case number provided by the police officers.On Tuesday July 16th multiple cell phone devices including my mothers my and wallet was stolen out of my vehicle and all funds were transferred out of my account. I had called ******************** and filed a dispute immediately they had to seperate my disputes into 3 seperate disputes based upon the time the claims were settled from pending to posted. Once I filed all my disputes within a couple business days two of my 3 claims were immediately denied. I called chime expressed my concerns and was told I showed no evidence and to provide a police report as evidence. I had provided the police report immediately and was given a provisional credit on the dispute that was still open for the amount of two thousand which is attached to this. They had then reopened my other two disputes and within a few days denied it again. I do not understand how they can pick and choose which claim to offer provisional credit and which not too especially considering the facts that I did not authorize those transactions.

      On July 19, 2024, ***** contacted us via phone regarding a transaction totaling $2,000.00 which ***** stated was unauthorized. We then opened an investigation into the matter and filed a dispute. 

      On July 20, 2024, we applied a provisional credit to ****** account for the full amount of the dispute. This credit was provided to allow ***** with full use of the funds while we completed our investigation.

      As part of our dispute investigation, we filed chargebacks for eligible transactions. A chargeback is a request to the merchant, from Chime, to have the funds from a disputed transaction returned to the member. Merchants are able to reject chargebacks and can provide their own evidence to show that a transaction is legitimate. Our records indicate we received compelling evidence from the merchant regarding *****'s dispute. On August 10, 2024, we concluded our investigation and determined no error occurred. ***** was notified of this on the same day.

      As a result, we also notified ***** that the provisional credit issued on July 20, 2024 would be reversed and the account would be debited on August 16, 2024. 

      On July 31, 2024, after a complete review of *****'s account, we determined that the account was not in compliance with Chimes internal policies and the account agreement provided at account opening, therefore we exercised our right to close the account.

      The account remains closed and is not eligible to be re-enabled.

      We thank you for the opportunity to respond to ********************* complaint. If ******************* continues to have concerns regarding their complaint, please have them contact Chime *************** at ************.
