      I signed up for the secured credit card. I also requested that they pay my monthly bill. By doing this they take the money I transfer into my credit builder and hold it in a secure pot so they say and pay on the payment date and are supposed to report to the credit bureaus. This all happened in March. They have not reported my credit at all since December when I owed 51 dollars which was paid. There is nothing for the months I did use it and they still arent reporting. I rented a car from enterprise and I moved the $ ****** from my checking to my credit to use my credit to pay for it. This included an amount of $300 as a deposit. My March statement shows that they used this as a payment to my credit account even though I had already paid that 300 once and it was sitting in that secure pot. My March statement clearly shows my balance being 1350. It then shows payment from enterprise, which should have been refunded so I could use it, dropping my March balance to 1050. I immediately called customer service and was told I could not dispute this. They did refund it and I said no I had already paid and they stole my 300 refund. The lady hung up on me eventually. I immediately took my payments off of them managing payments. I thought that might release my funds. Then they state I have 185 payment due the next month which was ****** I went through and calculated every single transfer that I had made to my secured credit and it was a total of *******. They state on my checking account that I transferred 1200 something but on my credit statement they say I transferred 1100. They said I owed 1181. One statement clearly showed the 1549 being deposited but they refuse to return that money in the secure deposit account . They said the 300 refund was not disputable. I contacted the **** as well. No response from Chime still.

      Hello,

      Stride Bank established your Chime Checking Account and serves as the issuer of the ********** Debit Card and, as such, is concerned with your complaint. We have conducted an investigation into the matter and reached out to ***** to understand the full scope of this matter.

      Chime found that you enrolled in Move My Pay on December 18,2020 and it was disabled on November 13, 2023. Chimes records indicate the transactions and transfers shown are correct.

      March transfers from Checking account to Secured account were a total of $1,201.36 (March 1 to 31, 2024) March transactions from March 9 to 27, 2024 equal $1,350.69. Chime verified that you received a $300.00 refund from Enterprise Rent A Car on March 26, 2024 to your Credit Builder account, not your Secured account. Thus the amount due for March shows as $1,050.69 which is correct.

      You stated that transfers completed from the Checking account to your Secured account in March were $1,566.09, which is correct, but you did not include the transfers from your Secured account to your Checking account in March which equal -$364.73. All March 2024 transfers equal $1,201.36.

      On April 2, the full March amount due ($1,050.60) was paid.The payment brought the new Secured account balance to $150.67. On April 4, you made a transfer to your Checking account to your Secured account for ********** transfer posted to the Secured account which made your new available balance to $185.82.

      Chime additionally reviewed the credit reporting associated with your account and found that there was a delay in updating credit reporting data. Chime apologizes for the inconvenience Chime states that the credit bureaus have confirmed the processing of the credit data and the updated reports should be available for viewing.

      Please feel free to contact ************ Services at ************ if there are any further questions or concerns.

      Chime has a My Pay feature that uses your direct deposit, location, link to your email and pay processor to determine how much money you can withdraw before your paycheck. Each day that you work your My Pay will increase. When I looked at My Pay amount on 6/18 I had an amount of 420 dollars that I could withdraw. That was based on my direct deposit amount, my location (so tracking me driving to work) and my email at work. On 6/19 I checked and that amount was gone and I had a total of 66 dollars I could withdraw. I called the customer service number and was told they could not see the reason why but kept saying it is based on account activity. The rep I was speaking with said they saw no difference in my account activity and they would also be upset if they lost money from their My Pay. Could not explain what happened or why but kept saying its based on the features that u mentioned above. Nothing has changed. Nothing. They cant call themselves a bank and take peoples money for no reason. I mean I am pretty sure the reason is I wasnt withdrawing the money. Each time you withdraw they can charge 1.99. Since I wasnt taking the money out they werent making any money so they lowered my amount.

      In November 2023, I used the Chime.com web site, owned by Stride Bank, N.A., to issue a series of checks to my wife's employer, ******** Country (**) ********** of ********** On 12/13/2023, nine of the checks were returned to the county as "Altered/Fictitious" by **** of America, who issued the checks on behalf of ********** **** of America will not talk to me as I am not a customer; they refer me to Chime. Chime/********************** **** continues to maintain that the money was taken from my account and the checks were paid. The checks were returned after the "processed date" shown in the account records from *****. My county government's bank, **** of Tennessee, has been unable to get any cooperation from **** of America to resolve the issue. Chime won't talk to **** of Tennessee because again, they aren't an account holder. In my opinion, the actual third-party check processor has ended up with the missing $273.05 and has not bothered to return it to Chime nor notify them that these checks were returned. Chime refused to identify what check processor they use. I've made multiple inquiries and I have yet to speak with someone who resides within the *** and who understands the banking system here in *****************. This event put my wife's benefit payments in jeopardy and I had to repay the amount with cash since it was "my" check that was dishonored. I'd like Chime to either return the funds to my Chime account or have the checks re-issued correctly to the county.

      Complaint: ********

      I am rejecting this response because:

      I am aware of the issued date and "cleared" dates. The rejection from **** of America came after the cleared date.

      These checks were returned to **** of Tennessee 12/13/2023. 

      These checks were issued on a **** Of America account, not a ********************** bank account, not a chime bank account. 

      Since neither Stride nor ***** admits to being notified, that indicates a third party payer is involved. 

      You have a 3rd party processor involved who has essentially stolen money from you and in the end, from me. 

      **** of Tennessee states that the original checks would have been mailed to account holder for that **** of America account.

      Who actually processes the Pay by ************ for Chime? They owe you (and me) that money. 

      These checks look like a 5th grader tried to edit them. I've never seen anything like it. 

      Who owns the **** of America Account? How do I contact them?

      I have a dispute for $44.92 that was denied because the dispute department there filed it wrong then the 2nd and 3rd agent said they corrected it which they didn't. If I don't get my money back immediately I'm going scorched earth rapidfire fraud reports to you and chime until I get it back. I was also told months ago that the credit builder card had buyer protection so going forward for risker transactions I specifically used the credit builder card. Well I had an issue then disputed it and was told the complete opposite and then the claim got denied meanwhile my electric bill is due and at least with the credit I would have been able to cover it but nope not now. Just liars at ***** and mislead and file improperly. I'm contacting the consumer protections agencies BBB and whatever else I possibly can for both Chime and *********** FDIC until this is resolved.
