    RE: BBB ID 21100038

    Dear Ms. ****,

    This letter
    is in response to the complaint The Bancorp Bank, N.A. (“Bank”) received from the Better Business Bureau (“BBB”) regarding the Vault Visa Payroll Card (“Card”).  The Bank provides banking services to Paycom
    Payroll (“Paycom”), the program manager.

    Our review of the records indicates on
    November 26, 2023, you called customer service to report two unauthorized
    transactions totaling $440.00.  A claim
    was opened, and the investigation began.

    On November 28, the
    investigation was completed and based on the information available it was
    determined that no error occurred.  A
    letter was sent informing you of the outcome. 
      

    We understand this is not the resolution you were seeking, but
    we are confident the investigation of your claim was properly conducted and
    resolved.  If you have any additional
    questions, you can email the Bank at the address shown below.

    Sincerely,

    I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to my complaint and have determined that this does not resolve my  issue.  For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below.
    **In order for the bureau to continue to assist you, you MUST provide your view on the matter or your complaint will be closed as answered.

    I do not agree with this response. This is fraud on their end. I received a direct deposit of $500 on November 24, 2023. On this date I purchased food at IHOP in Moreno Valley ca. while leaving IHOP I received a text message from this business, Vault. Asking if I had time to verify some transactions that were made on my account that looked suspicious. I responded right away. I did NOT authorize so transactions that were mentioned. I responded via text. Then I called and blocked my card. I ordered a new card and finally put in a claim. But before I was able to put in a claim I was told by the representative at Vault that I had to wait 24-48 hours because the transaction have not been processed on their end. Makes no sense due to the fact that they caught these transactions and contacted me right away. So this brings us to November 26, 2023 when I called and was able to put in a claim. I have called every other day to discuss my matter. I have put in a dispute. I’ve been told so many different lies about my account and all I want is my hard working money back. This company doesn’t stand by its zero liability fraud protection policy that they promote. I responded accordingly. I’ve been the only one on my end to contact in regards to this matter. I now have to get a lawyer and go the hard way for my money. I was NOT ever informed of my claim unless I called or the circumstances as to which my claim was denied. This is illegal and I am NOT settling for this non-descriptive response. All of this I’ve been dealing with through the holidays and am beyond stressed and baffled at the lack of professionalism I’ve received each time I’ve spoken to a representative. Nothing has been corrected.

    I use Chime as a bank account. I've had them since 2021. There has never been an issue at all. On Wednesday December 12th I got my pay from my job which is the same amount every two weeks and I've been employed at the same place for 9 years. At midnight I received an email from Chime that my bank account was closed. All I keep getting from them is The Bancorp Bank closed it because my account wasn't in compliance with their terms and conditions. There is no fraudulent activity or suspicious activity on my account what so ever. I use my account for my direct deposits and to pay bills and get groceries. They advised me the money that was in my account would be issued by check within 30 days. Christmas is right around the corner, I have three kids and not able to get groceries for them or go Christmas shopping and now it's ruined. They did this for no reason and no one has yet called me to explain to me what they feel is suspicious on my account. I have spoken to many supervisors who state they have escalated my issue but still yet I have never received a call. They decide to do this during the holiday time and with the only money I had for my family. I'm soon going to get this in motion to contact a lawyer and sue for pain and suffering if something does not get resolved with them. I've told them I would be filing a complaint with you but they seem to not care.

    I filed my initial dispute on November 6th, 2023 with chime. I noticed 31 unauthorized charges totaling in the amount of $616.69. They denied the dispute and sent out a denial letter. The denial letter had nothing from the merchant what so ever. I also had communication with the merchant & they told me they couldn’t locate any charges. I sent those emails over to chime & I had missing information in my disputes each time. The merchant can’t help me with the refund so they told me I needed to reach out to my bank. Chime is refusing and because of them refusing to refund unauthorized charges me and my children were evicted on November 15th I am now on my 9th rebuttal. My 8th rebuttal was denied within 24 hours of submitting missing information. I’m tired of waiting on my money.

    Better Business Bureau:


    I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to my complaint and have determined that this does not resolve my  issue.  I have been denied each claim because my card being stolen and chime has not been communicating with the merchant whatsoever but I have. I need a real detailed denial letter as to how the claim was denied when the charges were clearly unauthorized and I’m asking for my money back $616.69

    Dear Ms. **********,

    When responding to customer complaints the Bank conducts a review of the entire case. We are prepared to come to a different conclusion should the evidence warrant such an outcome.  After examining the findings of the investigation, and our review of all the materials considered during the course of the investigation, we concluded the decision to deny your claim was valid. 

    Sincerely,
    Consumer

    On 11/30/23 I disputed a transaction with chime. They told me they could not start the investigation until the amount was posted instead of under “pending” The amount posted on 12/02/23 at about 12pm so I sent them a msg and let them know. They then msgd me back literally FIVE hours later telling me the investigation was done. HOW ….HOW Is the investigation done so fast??? They never followed up with me to tell me how the investigation was going. Never called me to get information to ask me what happened and build a case. NOTHING …So then I appealed the transaction because i was NOT satisfied with the 1 amount of time it was handle & 2 the outcome. I appealed at 10pm it was “solved” at 11pm !!! You HAVE to be kidding me !!! A bank that I trust to support me and flag something as fraud first of all didn’t even do such thing. This said company has been attempting to charge me so many times but couldn’t due to the fact I kept my card lock the ONE day I unlocked my card they get me and chime is trying to say since this ONE day I unlocked my card and they got me that IM at fault !!! This is ridiculous!!! Chime does not care about you or your money STAY FAR FAR FAR AWAY !!

    On July 11th, 2023 I received services from Authentically Natural for an installation for loc extensions. After receiving the services, within days the permanent hairstyle starting to unravel and began to pull my hair out. Prior to the install I told her what I wanted and she insisted with seeing what would "fit" instead of what I asked of her. She ended up putting too many extensions in my hair which made my hair fall out and I developed a rash.

    I attempted to reconcile with Authentically Natural and they refused to resolve and asked my "Why did I pay"

    I attempted to dispute with Chime and without a proper investigation my dispute was not accepted.

    This happened and 3 other occasions when someone used my uber account
