Company: Coinbase, Inc.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX I was locked out of my Coinbase Account which funds still held within. Over a week later I 've still not managed to access my Account to purchase or withdraw anymore funds which I urgently need to do. I have tried to resolve directly with the company but still no luck. 

When logging in through the browser I get 'Sorry account temporarily disabled. Please contact support '. When trying through the app I get 'Error - Your account has been locked. Please visit Coinbase to resolve '. 

I think I was locked out because I entered my password incorrect too many times. I then tried to re-set the password but no luck as of yet.

Company: Social Finance, Inc.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
SoFi sends monthly mailings to potential customers telling them they are pre-chosen for loans at enticingly low rates ( 8.95 % ) based on their credit history. The word " preapproved '' is all over their emails and website when you begin to apply. Those mailings fraudulently suggest that the customer has merit advantaging them in being actually approved for loans at those rates, and instead SoFi uses an unusual, highly-selective review process that cherry-picks from those preapproved customers who apply based on the advertising of those mailings. 

This practice hurts consumers like myself who are trying to improve their credit. Potential borrowers like myself receive these mailings are enticed to apply because the offer is *apparently* too good to be true, and instead we waste a hard inquiry on our credit report. The substance of my financial position has actually improved since I first started receiving these mailings a year ago, but that had no impact on application. 
Most importantly, when I asked why my loan was denied, I was told by SoFi that it was because I had a missed payment on my credit history. However, I know the date that SoFi made the hard credit inquiry ( once I had submitted my application ), and they came back to me AFTER that Inquiry and asked me to supply more financial documentation not originally asked for in my initial application. I did so. And then they denied my application. So they already knew my Credit History had a blemish and continued to process the application. SoFi 's rep XXXX told me having a missed payment on my credit history automatically precluded me from being approved, but if that was the case, they would n't have asked me to supply additional financial documentation after SoFi was in posession of my full credit history. SoFi 's explanation does not hold up against the evidence and timeline of my application process. 

This leads me to believe SoFi has built a website to automate lending that is falsely advertising and defrauding consumers like myself. 

Received Mailings : XXXX, monthly Reviewed, Began Application : XXXX/XXXX/XXXX Received email from SoFi reaffirming I was " preapproved '' and encouraging me to complete my application : XXXX/XXXX/XXXX Submitted Application : XXXX/XXXX/XXXX Hard Credit Inquiry : XXXX/XXXX/XXXX Asked to submit additional documents to support my application : XXXX/XXXX/XXXX Application denied : XXXX/XXXX/XXXX
