    On 5/21/23 I file a dispute with Chime because of a transaction, a charge to my checking account that I never authorized of $506.70 from Spectrum. When I contacted Spectrum and file an investigation, they told me that it was not them and they have no record of any transaction of $506.70, in my statement for the month of May 2023 I only have a payment to them of $139.97 that I did and appear on my checking account the previous day 5/20/23. I email my statement to Chime support service. So, chime did a false investigation and concluded that there was no error occurred and on their final report they stated that I never submitted any documentation when they are where that one's telling me to email my statement to them and acknowledge that was received. I have all the emails about it. I reopen my dispute 5 times and they keep telling me they reached a final decision and no error occurred. That was my mortgage money and now I had a financial hardship thanks to them, At the moment I file a complaint with Consumer Financial ***************** (CFPB) and trying to get an attorney to help me but no luck no response, please help me.

    My compliant got denied for the 9 time. I could not reply to this email because I did not see it on time. But Chime financial services denied my complaint again right after this email was send.

    If I can open this complaint I will.

    On July 19th 2023, I reported an unauthorized pay anyone transfer for $1000 from my Chime account, to the ********************** account ******************************************. The dispute ID is ********. On May 3rd 2023, ************************* stole my phone, accessed my Chime account, and transferred $1000 from my savings account, to my checking account, and then to his own Chime account ******************************************. I filed a police report with the *************************************** which is case number 20230725-0725-00, in regards to the money that was taken from my account by *************************. The officer assigned to my case is ************************** My initial claim was denied by Chime with no explanation, as were my multiple rebuttals. I filed reports with the BBB, the **** the ***** and the **** regarding the dispute, which led to nothing. I requested documents from Chime that were used to determine the outcome of my dispute. I did not receive the requested documents within the deadline. When I finally did receive the documents, I noticed that the police report that I filed, was labeled as merchant evidence. I contacted Chime Disputes over this, and the supervisor agreed that it did not make any sense for evidence that I submitted, to be used in favor of the merchant. I would like to reiterate that the police report 20230725-0725-00 is MY police report, not *****************************. I need the investigations team to realize that the police report that I submitted as evidence should be used in favor of ME($*****************************-27), and not the "merchant"($*************************-13). I need a full refund of the stolen funds to my Chime account(*************************************************. The money that was stolen came out of my college savings, and I am in urgent need of it. I have yet to receive temporary provisional credit. If need be, I will file an arbitration claim against Chime to get my money back, and I have been in communication with an attorney. I will include all of the errors and mistakes that were made by Chime and its investigations team.

    The reason I am filing this complaint is because money was stolen from Chime bank account on August 2nd. Someone compromised my account and connected their Cashapp account and stole ********** transactions) from me. When I called to let them know, they said there was nothing that could be done while the transactions were pending. Once the transactions went through I disputed all 22 transactions. On August 5th I received an email saying "No error occured and no funds would be credited". I then submitted multiple rebuttals (redisputes) to the outcome, and received the same response. I then received an email on August 14th from Chime's Investigation team with the documents they used throughout the investigation. They sent me the list of the transactions which I was already in possession of and a copy of the intake form. After that I called Chime once again to see what the next step would be. I was told I could submit another redispute but seeing how the first two were dismissed I did not want to go that route. I was then told that my case was considered closed and that nothing else would be done.

    On August 26, 2023, 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. We are still awaiting a response from the merchant.

    Please note, we will notify ***** of the results of the investigation no later than November 23, 2023.

    I had chime card used on BetMGM on or about February 28, 2023. In the amounts of $100, $150, and $200. I filed a dispute with chime on March 4th 2023. Requesting that the money be given back to me. As an authorized transactions, the initial claim was given a provisional credit for the $150 trans action only, a resolution date of June 4th was set, June 4th came and went. And no decision had been made, I've heard I filed for a rebuttal and nothing ever came of it today is now August 15th and I still have not had any resolution to this case. I have filed multiple requests for information and for rebuttal. And to get my money back with no answer. Other than it's been escalated and somebody will contact you.

    Chime is in receipt of the complaint filed through the Better Business Bureau (BBB) by *********************.

    Claim ID: ********
    On May 12, 2023, Dynesha contacted us via email regarding two transactions totaling $435.00 which ******* stated were unauthorized. We then opened an investigation into the matter and filed a dispute.

    On May 29, 2023, we notified Dynesha via email that we completed our investigation and based on the information available, we determined that no error occurred.

    The rebuttal investigation is currently in process, and we are working to resolve *******'s case as quickly as possible. Please note, the timeframe for the rebuttal process is 45 days and Dynesha will be notified via email once a final outcome has been determined.

    On July 10, 2023, we applied a provisional credit to Dyneshas account for the full amount of the dispute. This temporary credit was provided to allow Dynesha with full use of the funds while we completed our investigation.

    On July 3, 2023, ******* requested a copy of the documents we relied on in making our determination.

    On July 28, 2023, a copy of the documents Dynesha requested were forwarded to the email on file.

    Claim ID: ********
    On May 13, 2023, ******* contacted us via chat regarding two transactions totaling $375.00 which ******* stated were unauthorized. We then opened an investigation into the matter and filed a dispute.

    On May 21, 2023, we applied a provisional credit to Dyneshas account for the full amount of the dispute. This temporary credit was provided to allow Dynesha with full use of the funds while we completed our investigation.

    On July 4, 2023, 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 2, 2023, we concluded our investigation and determined no error occurred. Dynesha was notified of this on the same day.

    On August 2, 2023, we notified Dynesha via email that we completed our investigation and based on the information available, we determined that no error occurred. As a result, we also notified Dynesha that the provisional credit issued on May 21, 2023 would be reversed and the account would be debited on August 9, 2023. 

    On August 3, 2023, ******* requested a copy of the documents we relied on in making our determination.

    On August 8, 2023, a copy of the documents Dynesha requested were forwarded to the email on file.

    On August 22, 2023, we notified Dynesha via email that we reopened the claim based on the additional information provided and determined that no error occurred, and the claim remained denied. 

    Account Closure:
    On May 15, 2023, 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.

    On May 29, 2023, a check for the remaining balance on Dynesha's Credit Builder account was sent to the address on file. Our records show that the check was processed and cleared on June 12, 2023.

    Phone and ID stolen July 1st Fraud reported to time by July 3rd Trying to continue to allow thieves to take money out after repeated reports and then in August they let them go right back in and take money out again and account that should have been closed and account number changed. I am suffering continuous damages from not having my money to pay bills accounts are bouncing because they took all the money out and gave it to the thieves here is an explanation. I reported my chime checking account I used without any authorization within 48 hours of it being used and stolen. It was abused from the chime app on my phone I reported my phone stolen I reported that the ******** I reported my phone had been stolen to chime and I reported the fact that my driver's license was stolen so do not accept any changes to the account because there had been a bunch of fraudulent charges. These have been done through the chime application through people like uber many times. They also used it on cash app which they took $320 out several other transactions were sent to somebody called *********************. I did not have my phone or access to my email. charged money also to Uber eats. Chime kept asking for me to point out what transactions were fraudulent I said every transaction after 2:00 p.m. on July 1st with the exception of one $100 ATM which was me taking money out from the credit builder account. My wallet was gotten into and left they took only my *********** credit card my driver's license and I suppose copy the numbers off the debit card.They went as far as letting the thief change my address, my email associated with the account . So I was a lame duck they had my telephone where verification they would call the number and they had my driver's license The fraudulent charges in August are over $600 and they were very clear and I think about $1,000 ****** account and hacked them and gave themselves access to my email and it wasn't until August 6th that I was able to recover it.
