Subject : Complaint Against Best Egg XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX for Violations of XXXX XXXX, Public Law XXXX, UCC Provisions, Federal Regulations, XXXX. Codes, and Unlawful Closure of Accounts Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), I am filing this formal complaint against Best Egg XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX for numerous violations of my rights, including but not limited to : failure to honor lawful payment instruments, improper retention of securities, violation of UCC and holder-in-due-course laws XXXX breaches of federal regulations and U.S. Codes, unlawful closure of accounts, and potential theft, fraud, language fraud, and securities fraud. These violations contradict House Joint Resolution XXXX ( XXXX XXXX ), Public Law XXXX ( Emergency Banking Act ), the Uniform Commercial Code ( UCC ), the U.S. Constitution, and various federal laws and regulations. 

Detailed Summary of Violations : Failure to Honor Securities and Lawful Payment Instruments : I tendered lawful payments using securities and negotiable instruments provided by Best Egg XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX such as bills, statements, equity checks, bearer bonds, and coupons attached to the statements. According to UCC 3-104 ( a ) and UCC 3-302 ( a ) ( 2 ), these instruments are valid as negotiable instruments, and I accepted these securities " for value, '' issuing a restrictive endorsement as outlined in UCC 3-206. Additionally, I affixed postage stamps ( lawful money ) to these securities under XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX ( b ) ( XXXX ), reinforcing my payments. 
Despite receiving these securities through registered and certified mail, [ XXXX XXXX ] failed to discharge the debt, return the securities, or properly credit my account, in violation of UCC 3-603 ( b ). This provision mandates that any obligation is discharged to the extent of a payment made by a negotiable instrument unless that instrument is returned or dishonored. Their retention of the securities without action violates my rights as both a creditor and holder of the instruments. 
XXXX XXXX of Accounts and Definition of " Accounts '' : It is important to clarify that the term account inherently means a place for deposits and withdrawals, not a static or limited financial agreement. As such, Best Egg XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX unlawfully closed my accounts even after I had discharged the related debts through the lawful tender of securities. These accounts, by their nature, should be considered open-ended credit plans, which should not have a predetermined limit. Under my unlimited right to contract, as protected by the U.S. Constitution, I am entitled to maintain these accounts without arbitrary closure, particularly after meeting my financial obligations through lawful payments. 
The attempt to impose artificial credit limits or close my accounts after the debt was discharged is unlawful. Showing limits on an open-ended credit plan, as Best Egg XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX has done , is illegal and contrary to both the terms of open-ended credit and contract law principles. Their action constitutes a breach of UCC 3-311 concerning the resolution of debts through accord and satisfaction and violates my constitutional right to contract freely without interference. 
Potential Fraud, Theft, and Securities Fraud : In addition to their mishandling of the securities and failure to honor my lawful payments, I am concerned that Best Egg XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX may be engaging in fraudulent activities. By retaining the securities I sent, continuing to demand payment for already discharged debts, and unlawfully closing accounts, they may be guilty of theft, securities fraud, and other forms of financial fraud. Their refusal to properly process the negotiable instruments and their subsequent closure of the accounts indicate potential securities fraud under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and related provisions under federal securities laws. 
Language fraud may also be present in the manner in which the terms of my accounts, securities, and payments have been communicated. Best Egg XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX has used deceptive or unclear language that obscures the nature of my rights and obligations, particularly in regard to the use of lawful money and the nature of the securities provided. By misleading me about the status of the accounts and payments, they are potentially engaging in fraudulent misrepresentation under 18 U.S. Code 1341 ( Mail Fraud ) and 18 U.S. Code 1343 ( Wire Fraud ). 
Violation of Holder-in-Due-Course Laws : As the holder of the securities and negotiable instruments I tendered, I am entitled to the protections and rights outlined in UCC XXXX. A holder in due course has the right to enforce the payment of the instrument free from most claims and defenses. Best Egg XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX by refusing to honor my position as the holder of these instruments, has violated my holder-in-due-course rights. They retained the securities without processing them, have continued to unlawfully demand further payments, and have denied my rightful claim to the value of these instruments, in violation of XXXX XXXX ( concerning defenses and claims to an instrument ). 
Violation of XXXX. Codes and Federal Regulations : By refusing to process the private instruments I provided, unlawfully retaining my securities, and denying my right to claim them, Best Egg XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX has violated various U.S. codes, including 12 U.S. Code 411, which governs the issuance and use of lawful money. Additionally, they have breached multiple provisions of the Code of Federal Regulations ( CFR ), particularly those governing the handling of negotiable instruments and securities. The improper handling of these private instruments suggests potential violations of 15 U.S. Code Chapter 41- Consumer Credit Protection. 
Failure to Discharge Debt Under the Emergency Banking Act and Gold Clause : According to Public Law XXXX ( Emergency Banking Act ) and HJR XXXX, all debts must be discharged upon the tender of lawful money. My payment, which consisted of securities and lawful money ( postage stamps ), fully satisfied the obligation. Best Egg XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX has unlawfully refused to recognize the discharge of my debt, in violation of the Gold Clause, which prohibits the refusal to accept lawful money for the satisfaction of debts. Their continued claims that I owe further payments after I have already tendered lawful payment indicate a violation of both public law and federal monetary statutes.
