Issue: Closing your account — Can't close your account
Company: TD BANK US HOLDING COMPANY
State: NE

Complaint narrative:
Account # XXXX XXXX I opened the credit card at the cash register. I felt bad for the cashier because the supervisor was telling the cashier he had to sign up more customers for credit cards. So I said I would sign up thinking I would put my purchase and cancel it in 6 months. I might visit XXXX once or twice a year. I completely forgot about it and two months later I checked the paperwork the cashier gave me and it was all black. I believe because of the heat transfer of the paper. I never got a credit card or a bill. Finally three months later I received a bill and no credit card. I called and the call went to their collection department. I told them that I have n't received anything until now. I agreed to pay what I owed and the interest to that point. I told them I wanted to talk with someone from XXXX. I did n't think it was fair that I had 3 months of fees and wanted to talk to someone. I repeatedly asked to talk to someone in charge. I was on the phone and on hold for almost an hour. They said if I made the payment they will have a supervisor call me once the payment cleared. I asked why did n't they think to call if someone never activated the card. They did n't care. I asked would n't that throw up a red flag. I agreed to pay off what I owed plus interest but wanted to talk to a supervisor. They agreed and I made the payment. I asked them to close the account. Months passed I only received one of the bills and no phone calls. I called and tried to talk to them and the account was n't closed. She closed the account and said I was on the hook for everything. They would wave one payment if I made the back payment. I agreed that I will pay the first three months of fees to end the nightmare. Then the rep said I would still have to pay all the other fees. I did n't agree with that. I said that I would file a complaint if they did n't try to work with this situation. They said that nothing could be done. Had I closed months ago they would still charge the high late fee and report every month until I paid everything. You could not do anything because you agreed to have our credit card.

Product: Money transfer, virtual currency, or money service — Virtual currency
Issue: Money was not available when promised — 
Company: Coinbase, Inc.
State: AK

Complaint narrative:
Coinbase is a online stock trading application, that evolves around etherum, lite coin, and bitcoin trading. I deposited about {$320.00} Onto the website to buy bitcoin currency. The currency once purchased, I withdrew to put the amount I earned into the companies holding account to deposit into my bank account. The amount on that account was a residual {$300.00}. So I have lost about {$17.00}. The amount I had for bitcoin was {$2.00}, etherum was {$.00}, and litecoin was {$.00}. I have emailed the company around 25 times within the past 2 months to return the valued currency to my bank account after 5 failed attempts of the company sending verification charges to my banks savings and checking accounts. The frustrating part was, each email sent was ignored, and every phone call they received from me, was immiedietely sent back to the prerecording message stating to further get in contact with them, submit a request and send them an email online. With the end of the second month of no reply, my account apparently glitched up and lost all the currency held upon it. I signed into the account, and it told me that it didnt recognize my device. So I changed the password to the account, reauthorized my phone with a sms code sent to my phone via text message, then it wanted me to repeat the process. That I did, and got a message stating to many login attempts. So I fell asleep, woke up the next day, and all the funds were gone. No funds in each currency, or even in the holding account. The main question I have, is if our funds are backed by the FDIC to fully show that our losses arent gone by just being in a holding account. Why is it that I couldnt fully withdraw all my funds from every currency, and withdraw all the funds from my holding account, and deposit into my bank, but some random reason all my currency disapears within 2 hours. Seems fishy that the company is probably holding my funds without me knowing of the location. If more information is needed, I can provide bank statements of the deposits, and that no money being sent to my account. I only use XXXX and bank. But my bank is still not authorized with their company.
