Company: Payward Ventures Inc. dba Kraken
Product: Money transfer, virtual currency, or money service
Sub-product: Foreign currency exchange
Issue: Problem with customer service

Complaint:
Hi there, I am from XXXX and I was using the exchange platform called Kraken ( www.Kraken.com ) So I was using it with all due verifications, then on Monday, XX/XX/XXXX my funds were " frozen '' they were kept on hold, and when I asked the reason why they are on hold, on Tuesday, XX/XX/XXXX I was told to provide a picture with a handwritten note - " Only for trading digital currency on www.kraken.com - my e-mail address is **** '' and include : the current date your signature # *** " ; So I sent them the picture and form they asked to fill, the form was with the following questions : 1 ) Acknowledge the statements, indicating Yes or No beside each. 
You are opening and operating your Kraken account without the assistance of a third party individual. 
You have not shared access to your Kraken account ( either using remote access software and/or providing your accounts login credentials ) with a third party individual/company. 
You have not been contacted by a third party individual/company and instructed to set up a Kraken account for the purpose of withdrawing crypto to a third party platform. 
You understand that cryptocurrency withdraws are irreversible ( meaning you can not reverse the withdraw or recall the funds once you have executed the withdraw ). 
You are complying with Section 13 of our Terms of Service*. 

So then I was asked if I have only one account since they saw that someone tried to open another account from my device, my answer was - " I have only one account and no one uses my devices except me, what should I do?? i am going to change my password from my devices, should I change my account password? Tell me please what to do? '' Then no answer for the whole day. On the next day Wednesday XX/XX/XXXX i received the message from them stating that they have closed my account without any explanation ( please see the attached email screenshot ) So for no reason, they closed my account without explaining anything even though I went through all verifications and even through additional verification with a picture of me. I lost money due to that and lost time I want them to restore my account fully, if this is because I am from XXXX then they should remove XXXX from the list of supporting countries. 

Please help me with this issue, it's unfair and unjust to close the account for no reason. 
Best Regards,

I am a victim of identity theft and im disputing this for the second time.I will be filing a civil lawsuit. Why hasn't this been taken care of already this is unfair. Lives are being put down to fraudulent activities being on the profile. I have look on different forums and have talk to my lawyer and you are violating the rights of the consumers that you swore to protect. I have filed a FTC report and I request that all the information be blocked from my report. Under 1681r-2 of the FCRA, I meet the exact requirements for the account listed in the FTC report to be blocked. Im attaching proof of identity id and my social. I am also attaching a notarized letter that's signed by me to let you know im disputing. This account should be blocked within 4 days of receiving this from the CFPB. This is unfair and a mistreatment of the law.

Complaint:
Midland is reporting in my credit file however it is inaccurate because it was said to be late, yet all the payments are OK. I do not think that this is mine. I did my research on what to do because it is affecting my scores to badly, I asked for documents, disclosure and where did the account come from but they failed to provide me, so I came online and researched. The plaintiff is asking the same thing that I wanted and at the end of it all the plaintiff won this case. I am talking about the Texas VS Midland Funding Case. I have learned that Midland claims to have a disclosure and an agreement that there is a Consumer Agreement for all who they are collecting from. I guarantee you that there is no such thing that I have agreed upon to.
