Consumer Narrative
On or about XX/XX/2021, I applied for a Chime account. During the process I received a message that I already have an account and that I should please sign in with your email XXXX That is not an email account I ever created or use. I contacted Chime by email since I couldn't get through to a live person due to there meu system that doesn't allow a non-customer to talk to a person. Several emails were exchanged in some with copies of my XXXX Driver License and Social Security card which they requested. I never heard back from them as to a disposition of the matter. I contacted XXXX Bank who services their accounts and described the problem. They stated they could only access the information regarding this account if I could provide them with the account number. Since I did not open the account and it is not my account, I obviously could not provide them with the account number. So at this point someone has a financial account with Chime and their servicing bank under my Social Security number and presumably my name and there is nothing either Chime or XXXX Bank will do about this.
