Consumer Narrative
I received an email from Chime ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) stating that my account was to close on the same day as the letter. Within minutes i was locked out of the banks app while trying to transfer my balances. No reason was given for the account closure. When trying to contact the bank via telephone, the automatic system recognized my phone number and instructed me to reach out through email to their support department, and disconnected the call. Upon emailing them, I received a generic generated response from a supposed 24/7 live support center. I tried using my card to make a payment, also tried using just my account and routing numbers from chime, and everything is declined. They are holding my money ( almost {$6000.00}!!! ), and none of the correspondences stated how they planned to return it to me, only that i should cancel any future deposits to avoid delays in receiving the deposited funds. I had a SECURED credit account with them, containing {$420.00} ; and a checking account containing {$5300.00} at the time they closed it. This contained monies is my rent, gas money for work, food money, and payback money to the Small Business Association for a PPP loan! Please help me! My rent is due on the first, amongst other interest-accruing accounts which will now be late, and for no reason at all!
