Issue: Other transaction problem

Complaint:
I created an account on XXXX XXXX under the auspice that I would be able to easily transfer the funds via the platform Gemini ( 'Cash out to Gemini - Anywhere ' they advertise ). I deposited thousands of dollars and used the XXXX platform. When it came time to withdraw some funds, I tried to create a Gemini account near the end of XXXX. I submitted documents in accordance with their verification process, including a scan of my passport, government ID and I believe a document with my address. Their international requirements were a little grey and on XX/XX/XXXX received an email stating : " Thank you for providing your document ( s ) for review! We're excited to have you join the Gemini community ; however one or more of the documents did not meet our verification requirements. 

You have submitted an invalid ID type. To proceed with the identity verification process please upload a full and clear image of your driving license or National Identity Card from your country of residence so that our team can complete verification. '' From this message it was unclear which document was invalid and why. I inquired with support but never got a reply. Because I don't have a driver 's license, I acquired a new piece of government photo ID for the sole purpose of verifying my account. 

In midXXXX  I submitted my documents, including new piece of valid ID, and expected to be verified but never was. My verification status continues to say " Pending '' and I have not been able to receive a response from a human in customer support.

Having waited over 2 months for my account to be verified while my money was held hostage, I looked for solutions online and found that others ( there are MANY others ) had had success closing their 'pending ' accounts and creating new ones from scratch, so I gave it a chance.

However, when trying to create an account using a different email address I was immediately notified that the new account had to be closed. 

" Due to a recent account review, Gemini has determined your account must be closed. Unfortunately, we are not able to elaborate on the specifics for this decision. If a balance remains in your account, please contact XXXX '' So, now have over {$6000.00} USD locked on XXXX XXXX with no apparent way to access it, while the company profits off the recent increases in cryptocurrency value. Gemini acquired XXXX XXXX in XXXX. The exclusive relationship would be tolerable if users could actually create accounts and withdraw their funds. The industry standard for verifying accounts is typically a few DAYS, weeks and months without any communication is negligent.

Complaint:
I am writing to express my deep dissatisfaction and frustration with the multiple unsuccessful attempts to remove fraudulent items from my credit file. Despite numerous communications and submissions of supporting documentation, the fraudulent entries persist on my credit report, adversely affecting my financial standing and causing considerable distress. 

I have made numerous efforts to rectify this situation, including submitting identity theft affidavits, police reports, and other supporting documentation to verify the inaccuracies in my credit report. However, despite my best efforts, the fraudulent items remain unresolved. 

The persistence of these inaccuracies has had a significant impact on my ability to secure credit, obtain favorable interest rates, and negatively influenced my overall financial well-being. I am deeply concerned about the potential long-term consequences if this matter is not promptly and effectively addressed. 

I kindly request that you thoroughly investigate and promptly resolve the issues outlined above. I expect a detailed response within the exact timeframe acknowledging the receipt of this complaint and providing a clear plan of action to rectify the inaccuracies on my credit report. 

If the necessary steps are not taken to address this matter promptly, I will have no choice but to escalate my complaint to regulatory authorities and seek legal advice to protect my rights. I am asking for your assistance to remove these fraudulent items in my credit file : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX, TX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, NJ XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$6800.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$11000.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Balance Owed : {$0.00} XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Balance Owed : {$10000.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$29000.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : XXXX XXXX XX/XX/2022 XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$11000.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$0.00} XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Balance Owed : {$6800.00} XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Balance Owed : {$10000.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$29000.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : XXXX.

Complaint:
This is an account which Ive had for over 20 years Ive always had it on auto pay hence why there should be no late payments on this account however it shows 2 thirty days late. Even though the account has been closed now Ive contacted the company on numerous occasions to get this record corrected but they have refused. Ive also requested an accounting of my payments from the day my account was opened so I can verify that I have never been late.

Also under 15 USCS 1666b a creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit account as late.

Sub-issue: Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize

Complaint:
On XX/XX/23 I wrote Equifax to investigate hard inquiries on my credit report that are reporting with my consent or permission. I already contacted the companies and they said that I needed to get with the bureaus about them so that is what I have done. I never received a response back and the fraudulent inquiries still remain on my credit report. I need these off my credit report because I never gave those companies permission or my authorization to check my credit score. I also asked them to investigate and update XXXX accounts by XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX that were included in a bankruptcy to {$0.00}, which would be the correct way to have them report, however, that was never done so either. 
Also, I asked for the XXXX XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX to be investigated and removed due to false payment history reporting and it is still reporting incorrectly.

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2021, I saw a collection put onto my credit for {$1000.00} dollars for a medical bill that has nothing to do with me. I have not owed for any medical related bills in years and havent seeked medical attention since. I filed a dispute with experian and they deemed it as valid. I then called the collections agency, medical data systems, and they told me that someone with the same last name but a first name ( XXXX ) that Ive never heard of used my information on XXXX XXXX on XXXX XXXX. They had an address Ive never heard of and I do not recognize this person at all. I tried getting in touch with the hospital related to the account but they had no records of me and therefore would not help. Please help me get this off of my account.

Sub-issue: Trouble with how payments are being handled

Complaint:
From XX/XX/2023 to XX/XX/2023 I have repeatedly called ( wait times were 2 hours or more ) and emailed ( not one acknowledgment or response ) Nelnet to correct the allocation of my loan pmt of {$2800.00} to the smallest student loan to pay it off. They applied my payment to the largest loan with the highest interest rate with smaller amounts to the lesser loans. They repeatedly told me it was under review, it was being processed, you will see the reallocation within the next week or 2. Until today, XX/XX/XXXX, they tell me they cant reallocate the money, because it would make the other loans delinquent - due date ( XX/XX/XXXX ). This is negligence and fraud on their part. They had plenty of time from XXXX, XXXX and XXXX to correct their error. I never had a problem with Great Lakes. Nelnet is atrocious and I have reported them to the U.S. Dept of Education Attorney General for fraudulent practices.
