Product: Money transfer, virtual currency, or money service — Virtual currency
Issue: Other service problem — 
Company: Coinbase, Inc. (LA)

I use a service called " Coinbase '' to buy and sell digital currency. I have roughly {$5000.00} USD with this 3rd party and have had an unacceptable experience with their customer service.

Just over a month ago, my cellphone was stolen and so I had Coinbase freeze my account fearing unauthorized access to my funds. I have called and emailed Coinbase numerous times to resolve this issue and each and every time they give me vague reassurance that they will unlock my account eventually. Apparently this needs the attention of a specialist who evidently needs more than 1 month to click through a few links and unfreeze my assets. 

This customer service is unacceptable and even borderline criminal as my investments have declined in value and I have been locked out of making trades to protect myself. 

I want to put this issue forward with the CFPB in an attempt to warn others from this service. Hopefully this will also draw attention to their customer service shortcomings and give their clients the respect they deserve!

I have disputed the referenced accounts to the 3 main credit bureaus and do not owe your company anything. I dont know this company and I do not recall ever having this debt and appears to be fraud, see attached FTC Report. Moreover, no adequate information has been given and noticed these accounts appear to violate my rights as well, per 15 USC 1692 ( e ) ( f ) ( g ). Moreover, you stated the account was verified as accurate by law 15 USC 1681 ( e ). Per 15 USC 1681 ( e ) The term investigative consumer report means a consumer report or portion thereof in which information on a consumers character, general reputation, personal characteristics, or mode of living is obtained through personal interviews with neighbors, friends, or associates of the consumer reported on or with others with whom he is acquainted or who may have knowledge concerning any such items of information. However, such information shall not include specific factual information on a consumers credit record obtained directly from a creditor of the consumer or from a consumer reporting agency when such information was obtained directly from a creditor of the consumer or from the consumer. Investigations weren't completed as described by law and no factual information should be on credit reports. Im requesting the removal of accounts and/or monetary compensation due to violations of my rights. XXXX currently seeking litigation regarding consistent harassment, unfair debt practices, adding without my permission/authorization within 5 days, and more. As the original creditor, only I can validate the debt therefore Im requesting removal and this account violates my consumer rights in several ways. Please remove and provide some updates within 4 days of receipt, as this has been ongoing for over 4-5 months.

Citibank Checking Account I deposited a check via mobile deposit XXXX XXXX ago. It was an unemployment check. I know that the banks are connected to the government so I call on Monday asking why Im not even seeing a date it will be complete and they tell me if its a government check, it will be complete on the next business day. On the next business day the deposit is not anywhere to be found and they state several times that their mobile deposit system is down. Supposedly an update that had been done broke everything. After 6 hours I tell them, well the deposit isnt showing still Im going to have to cash this check locally because I had been waiting for it for 9 days prior to depositing it for it to come in the mail. They tell me that there would be a fee if i did that but to call back in and reference this issue and they would credit my account. 

Instead they put my account into review stating the check was fraudulent, they refuse to contact the treasury it was disbursed from. They are in the process of closing the account due to fraudulent activity and that is in spite of a direct deposit coming into the acct today from unemployment again! Theyre holding my money XXXX for 60 days, I dont have to tell you Im depending on the lowest funds you can depend on and these jackals are doing this because of their issue, not mine.

I was told ( in accordance with the promotional terms ) that the bonus miles will post within 3 statements of completing the requirements ( which would have been XXXX/XXXX/16 ). It is now XXXX/XXXX/16, and I have paid { {$90.00} } in monthly fees to Citi, and Citi has not upheld its side of the promotion. I specifically confirmed that I was eligible for the promotion via secure message. Citi customer service representatives have been unprofessional and uninformative when trying to resolve this issue after submitting an investigation with Citi. Their CSR is incapable of making any changes and implementing any resolutions, other than pointing the finger at different departments. My husband has an identical complaint, and has filed a CFPB complaint as well. From searching the internet, there are XXXX of people which Citi is not upholding their terms of the promotion, while still charging monthly service fees for not providing any " service '' other than ripping off their customers.

Fraudulent charge of {$89.00} appeared on my Citicard statement during XXXX, XXXX for a jar of women 's face cream which was not purchased or received. I immediately contested the charge by calling Citicard customer service which indicated that Citicard was aware of the face cream company ( name unknown ) making fraudulent charges. The Citicard rep said she would reverse the charge and suggested closing the card to prevent further unauthorized charges, which I did. While recently applying for a mortgage re-financing, a banking officer informed me that my FICO score had dropped from XXXX to XXXX due to a delinquent balance of {$190.00} owed to Citicard. Further research determined that the delinquent balance was comprised of the fraudulent face cream charge of {$89.00}, plus Citicard penalties and interest. Corresponded with Citicard on XX/XX/XXXX to dispute the charges, but have received no reply to date. Have also copied XXXX XXXX, and XXXX on my correspondence to Citicard.

Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: U.S. BANCORP (FL)

On XX/XX/XXXX I sent a letter to XXXX XXXX XXXX  PMI Department. In the letter was a request for PMI to be removed from our current Mortgage, a check for {$450.00} for an appraisal and document review, and a list of all upgrades done to the house. 


OnXX/XX/XXXX US Bank received the finalized appraisal from the individual they hired, XXXX XXXX. The report showed that our house had appraised at {$130000.00} and the original value at the time of purchase XXXX XX/XX/XXXX was {$110000.00}. On XX/XX/XXXX we owed XXXX XXXX XXXX   {$100000.00}. 


On XX/XX/XXXX US Bank denied the request to remove PMI and highlighted their Investor Relations Guidelines for PMI Removal. Since we owned the house for less than 5 years the US Bank guideline to remove PMI is that our XXXX on our loan must be 75 % or less. With this appraisal, our XXXX was 76.3 %. 


After I inquired about the guideline not matching with normal PMI guidelines ( LTCV 80 % or less ) I had my lawyer inquire on the issue as our closing documents do not state we must own 25 % of the home to have PMI removed. 


onXX/XX/XXXX, XXXX XXXX, Customer Advocacy Specialist from XXXX XXXX XXXX   responded to my Lawers inquiry restating the Shareholder Guidelines for PMI removal. XXXX also stated in the letter that if we bring the principal balanced owed to US Bank under {$100000.00} by XX/XX/XXXX the PMI would be removed. 


Prior to receiving the letter response from XXXX, on XX/XX/XXXX I sent a letter to XXXX XXXX XXXX PMI Department with a check enclosed for {$1900.00} ; in the letter I stated that this check is to be applied to principal and should only be cashed if this removes the PMI from our next mortgage. The check was cashed on XX/XX/XXXX 


On XX/XX/XXXX I contacted XXXX XXXX XXXX PMI Department and spoke to XXXX who reviewed the case and stated the PMI removal was denied as the shareholder Guidelines were updated within the last month which would now disqualify us from PMI removal. However, US Bank confirmed they had not sent the new guidelines out to its clients, and we began this process in XXXX and completed the process prior to the JXX/XX/XXXX deadline.
