Consumer Narrative
On Friday, XX/XX/XXXX my account with Chime was hacked. Chime notified me immediately via text and email that someone in XXXX changed my account information while I was at work. I'm in XXXX. My boss let me call Chime to deal with this. I called them from my car with no one there for privacy, just me and the lady from Chime. We froze my accounts and at that point, no one had stolen any money but the hacker did move about {$170.00} from my savings account at XXXX XXXX MST into my Chime checking account. Then they moved {$930.00} from my checking account into my credit account with Chime within the same minute. Chime support told me over the phone that my money couldn't be touched at that point and it was all still there, just in the credit account instead of spread out how I had it. So I reluctantly went back to work. After work I had a bad feeling, so I called Chime to check on my money. During the time between my call to freeze the account and me calling again after clocking out at XXXX XXXX, I the hacker transferred {$490.00} to paysend.com. At that time, my account should have been frozen because I called Chime to freeze the account just after XXXX XXXX and I have a screenshot of the call to prove it, among many other things. I went home, reclaimed my frozen account, moved what I had left to a separate bank and started the process to dispute the charge. Time after time they denied my dispute, citing that I didn't give them enough evidence that it wasn't me spending money even though I gave them everything they asked for and more, even screenshots of their notifications to me that someone was changing my information out of state. I need that money for college really bad, so I filed several rebuttals of their denials and sent more information every time. I need my money back. That was two weeks ago and I would've filed my complaint sooner but I've been too depressed. They could have just denied the payment while it was still pending because it wasn't even finalized at the time I disputed it. I tried so hard to cancel it before the money left my account. My employer even sent a statement saying that I was working when this happened. Please help.
