    I have filed a dispute with this company due to my irs take return being stolen from my account. This is my main bank account where my money gets sent to. They feel like there is no error even though there are transactions made out to someone that I have a criminal case on thats now sitting in jail. They arent trying to send me my money back even though there clearly are errors. There has been over **** stolen from me and they arent trying to even investigate fully.

    Complaint: 19932140

    I am rejecting this response because:
    An investigation takes up to **** business days they denied me of a refund after two days. My wallet and phone was all stolen out of my car and they took two days to investigate. Im almost certain they did not look into it fully. They feel as if since the transactions were made in the same state as me that no error occurred. My things were literally stolen out of my car it was not information stolen offline those are two different things. Over give thousand dollars was taken out of my account and they rejected me in two days there is no way they did a complete investigation. There was money being sent out of my account to people *** had arrested for trying to burn my house on fire broke into my home on multiple occasions and they are saying there is no error. How is money being sent out of my account to someone thats in jail and I have a restraining order against.

    Thank you for giving us the opportunity to follow up on Jalexys Cookwoods BBB complaint.

    When members notice an error with transactions on their Chime accounts, they can file a dispute through Chime. Disputes can be filed over the phone, by email or in the Chime app. Chime records confirmed ******* filed several disputes in February 2023. We conducted an investigation into each of *******' claims and determined the transactions appeared authorized. 

    We understand this is not the resolution ******* was seeking, but we are confident the investigations of the claims were properly conducted and resolved.

    On April 4th I had to call chime support about my credit saver card not working. I googled chime support phone number and the number I thought was support popped up first with the website of chime.com. I called and the man said chime support how can I help you, I told him why I was calling. He said he could help and to go to the Play store and download this app, I thought weird but okay. These people I talked to that day at this bogus number talked fast and kept you busy while they did what they did. The app was called Quick Support' I downloaded it and gave him the code it showed and that let him into my phone and he said open your chime app, now I'm getting nervous, but it's new to me so stupid was me. I let him in and he said write down this confirmation number, it was a long and as he is keeping me busy doing that and then having me repeat it back 2 times he's gathering my money out of my savings and credit builder card to my checking account, I said what are you doing with my money..he said it's fine I'm fixing your card. I said how and then he takes 900$ and sends it to himself via pay anyone. He tells me my money will be back in my account in 24 hours I told him to put it back now. I then called chime support from my app that I didn't know I could do and opened up a claim and they've denied it four times because they want a paper trail I don't have a paper trail because it was over the internet. I could hear them talking to people in the background telling them the same thing to download this app so they can steal their money. I sent them the phone number that was used I sent them the pay anyone account that the my money was sent to and they never listen to me about how it happened why it happened but I sent them emails letting them know and they denied my claim in about 2 hours I'll never see my money but I can't help to think that this is an inside job. It seemed like people that got their money stolen it was common knowledge that it was direct deposit day

    I had received an email stating my account was closed and I was not eligible for any refund of any money that was left. I used my account for direct deposits and what I was transferring over from my 401k. When I called I was told by an agent that there was suspicious activity on the account and that I needed to submit documents and my identity and an explanation of why I had the account. 4 days later I contact chime on the status and they stated in order for me and I close my account I need to submit more documents and I replied that my account had already been closed. I called again spoke with another agent and they stated to submit more documentation of my identity and proof of address. Submitted again was told they will send a check in 30 days. Today emailed for a status requesting more time and more documentation and proof of identity. Now they are stating Ive violated the policy and will not be getting my money back

    On April 12,2023 I tried to mobile deposit my payroll check for $847.15 into my Chime checking account. I went to their website to check how the check should be endorsed before I took a picture of it and sent it electronically. After I submitted the endorsed check electronically not even 5 minutes later I received a message that the check was not accepted. I watched how to ******* videos to make sure I didnt miss a step and to make sure that I had endorsed the check correctly. I tried several more times to mobile deposit the check and it was rejected each time in less than 5 minutes. I called customer service and spoke to 3 people. A CSR, and 2 supervisors who all essentially told me that my payroll check was rejected because I tried to mobile deposit it too many times. Theres no way that a real person verified this check. I even asked the supervisor to call ************* to verify the check is real and she wouldnt do it. No one would go above and beyond to help me they all just gave automated and scripted answers. They gave some BS answer about the **************** This answer they gave is not on their website. Due to this being an online only bank I have no way of depositing this check and no one will help me. The physical check that I have is from the same place that has been direct depositing my check for the last several years and Chime had no problem accepting that deposit but now that I have a physical check from the same place that needs to be mobile deposited theres a problem.

    Hi I purchased 2 items from ******* and 1 item was not in stock so I had to cancel on April the 5th with *******. I got in contact with ******* and asked them why my money has not showed in my Chime account. ******* provided me with a authorization code a proof that they canceled my funds and sent the reversal amount to chime and that it should show up in my chime account within 48 hours . So I called chime 19+ times they kept telling me that ******* has not sent the money I have to wait 7 days etc so I waited 7 days I woke up today on April 12th and it shows on my chime account that I made a transactions from ******* on the 11th of April for 168.51$ which I have not. I had called ******* an chime at the same time and its like Im getting no where with chime they keep transferring me to people who hardly speak English and theyll tell me that I would have to wait another 7 days because I made that transaction yesterday in April 11th from ******* which is not true I made this transaction on April the 5th. I am unhappy with chimes services I do not like how they handle things and hold my money and just giving me a run around. Chime is a scam and there employees give me 0% trust and security because even when I hang up the fun its like they are trying to be funny knowing I will call back.

    I am rejecting this response because: It originally took 14 business days to receive my money not 5. And also I called and chatted every single day and got the run around. Chime only responded to this claim because they gave me credit on there end. Because they knew they messed up. I will never bank with chime again. It was a huge headache. I prefer Cashapp 

    Sincerely,
