I had a tax refund suppose to be deposited into my account but was supposedly returned back to the **** I also had a state refund that they never told me was returned nor mentioned. This was back in February. I had the *** do a refund trace and all chime does is continue to tell me that they sent it back and they will investigate what has happened to the money. The *** never lies. And they never received the ****** dollars I was supposed to get. Now the money is lost through chime and I still never received my money along with my kids money. This isnt right. The reason it was returned was because my name didnt match my finances name on the return as he was incarcerated and filed the taxes and tried putting them into my account. Either way I understand but thats our money that was stolen from us and never again trust your taxes through chime. They changed their policies right after they told me they had sent it back. Trust me I will find out where and what happened to that money. They sent this to me over and over again and the *** still as of October 2023 when it was to be returned back in February still has nothing from chime being refunded or returned. So chime is telling me that the *** is lying Im sure that the *** doesnt lie and doesnt keep your refund without notifying you of this. And they have no reason to.Business Response

Chime is blocking transactions on my credit builder account that are over $400 despite it still being less than the daily transaction limit. I am trying to pay my rent and now I am late because of chime. Every single attempt to resolve this issue has been blocked by chimes customer service. Its either, the language barrier between me and chime customer service reps is so bad that they don't understand what I am asking for help with. They continue to misgender me on the phone no matter how many times I correct them. Instead of looking into the issue, they just tell me I reached my transaction limit for the day even though I intentially didnt make any transactions that day just so I could make the payment without the limit being reached. Chime customer service makes any issue an exhausting experience to get resolved. Their reps do not listen to customers. I am trying to pay my landlord *****. My limit is ****. Clearly under the limit. I am going out of my way to not use that card so I dont hit that limit. And still My card is declining.Is chime going to reimburse me for the late fees that Ive had to pay my landlord as a result of their shenanigans? I spent more than 3 hours on the phone with them this week, just to be rudely hung-up on when I asked the supervisor to apologize for misgendering me again. I am really filing this complaint because this is the only way unfortunately to get effective customer service from ********************** spent the last three days trying to pay my rent. Last three days calling chime where they assured me this was resolved just to find out it wasn't. Please do not send me a copy pasted biolerpoint statement that yall don't even fill out correctly like the one I attached to this complaint which is what yall sent to me yesterday in response to a 2 hour long phone call of me detailing this issue to multiple people. BBB please don't accept anything from chime in this manner.Business Response

On September 20th, 2023 at 9:00pm I went to a ********** Atm that had no issues before I utilized it. I put my chime card in the slot and requested for a withdrawal of 200 dollars cash and the atm said it was processing and the atm then had a red bar go across saying that Im sorry we arent able to give cash right now. Please call us at **************. So I gave them a call and when I spoke to two different representatives they informed me that since I did not have a account with chase they could not do anything and that I had to dispute it with my bank even though it was a issue with their atm. So I then called my bank which is chime and they informed that they wouldnt be able to do anything until the transaction went through and also informed me that the transaction shouldnt even go through since there was a problem with the atm processing the withdrawal. The atm also printed out a receipt showing details of the exact transaction and showing the same statement it said on the atm that they werent able to process it. So I then waited a day on Thursday the 21st until it came across my phone that it had been processed and also had charged me two atm fees. I then called chime to get this solved and to start dispute they informed me that the dispute process could be 45 days and they use the time to reach out to the other banker which was chase ( which I do not believe they did at all )and to review the information I provided when was the receipt. Although I was upset I waited and then on Monday September 25th I got a notification from chime saying my dispute had been denied, I immediately called and asked for a explanation for the denial and what I needed to provide which then then kept interrupting me saying that I will received a email in 10 days saying the reason it was denied and that they couldnt get me the information to the department that was denied so I could speak directly to them. *** called back so far 6 times and the email had never been sent out and still nothing from them or no explanation as to why. During this time I was also trying to communicate with chase and see if they have anything they can provide do I could provide it to my bank since they werent approving my dispute after I tried to refill again and they could not give me anything, I even tried going to the branch with the atm that was getting repairs to the atm the day after I had this issue and they said they couldnt do anything it had to be disputed with my bank. Still too this day I have no communications from chime stating the reason why it was denied and no answer to what I need to do.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because:
There is still no resolution to this problem from them and they still have not provided me the correct expectations to move forward to get my dispute approved. The email that was sent out with the information on the dispute didnt explain anything all it did was send me the information that I sent them with the proof that the money was not dispensed crossed out in red lines. This would be the 3rd time they are reopening the claim and still have not told me what else they need to move forward so I can actually get the money back that was wrongly taken from my account.

Thank you for giving us the opportunity to follow up on Ammad Fondal's BBB complaint.
On October 15, 2023, another rebuttal was opened, and as part of our dispute investigation, we filed chargebacks for eligible transaction(s). 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. We are still awaiting a response from the merchant. We will notify Ammad the results of the investigation no later than November 29, 2023.
On the same day, we applied a temporary credit to ************;account for the full amount of the dispute. This credit was provided to allow Ammad with full use of the funds while we completed our investigation.

I disputed a charge on my chime account for merchandise not as described and sent proof that the merchant said h*** refund me if my merchandise was not as described (I was missing tags, shirts were ****** big, the sizing was off) I sent proof of everything and was denied.

Ok so basically to summarize it all up, I opened an account with **********************. I had money from unemployment/covid/savings. So i decided it was more secure in a bank. I deposited the quite large amount into my Chime account, and when i say large i mean a few thousand. Then i had the misfortune of losing my iphone. Left it on the counter at shell after paying with it. Then My account was being drained. I got in contact with Chime after i noticed my phone was misplaced because well they had all my money. I spoke to member services atleast a few hundred times, they assured me my money was safe and it would get returned after i opened a dispute. Well i opened a dispute and more transactions were popping up from the same merchant. I called again multiple times. And apparently when they cancelled my card and issued me a new one the virtual one still works. Even if they cancel the virtual one and replace it.. So after some time i got my denial i asked why they denied my claim when my money was stolen. I did not authorize nobody to use my card/account i do not know the merchant nor have i done business with them. I opened a rebuttal like 3 times i think and after the last one i read on one of the emails saying that if i wanted documentation or details of the investigation of how they came to the denial decision. That when they sent me an email with the transactions that i was disputing and the intake form meaning a form thats filled out when i originally filed the dispute So i asked if thats what they based their denial on and they said in other words yes. That if i wanted i could do a rebutal They're response was to close my account. I asked why they said because i did not comply with the deposit agreement. Months later i called again and one rep accidentally said my account was closed due to fraud activity. So basically they closed my account because i reported my money was being stolen. When ever i asked something i always got generated responses that were irrelevantBusiness Response

I was notified by Apple that someone was using my account fraudulently with out my consent/permission. They have deactivated that account and escalated it. Apple was able to refund a couple transactions. They advised me to contact my bank, Chime, and let them know. After I opened a dispute and uploaded the letter I received from Apple the claim was denied. Chime would not give me a reason why. I contacted chime escalations team in disputes.

Filed a dispute on 8/29/2023 with Chime for unauthorized transactions that totaled ****** caused by a stolen card. I have rebutted this with Chime 8 times.

I am rejecting this response because: there was no investigation done. No one reached out to any of these merchants nor the ******* police department . I have called and spoke to them myself. The detective with the ******* police department also sent you a letter stating that I am a victim of fraud and she was also on the phone with me when I made the 6th or 7th rebuttal on 9/26 and you still denied my rebuttal.
