Complaint narrative:
Best Buy/ CitiBank XXXX purchased a home theater system from Best Buy with a Citbank/Bestbuy card . When they came to my home to install the equipment there were items that were broken. They said they would replace them and they didn't so I asked them to come pick up the equipment. They picked up everything and I owed nothing nor did I purchase anything else with this card. I've disputed this several times and they keep passing this issue off to everyone else. I've went to the place I purchased this system and they said they can't do anything to help with the situation. I contacted the Law office they deferred it to and explained the situation. That was over a year ago and they still didn't report it correctly nor can I get anyone to respond to when I call. I don't owe this debt and it's affecting my livelihood. I'm a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX with a fixed income.

Issue: Other transaction problem — 
Company: Coinbase, Inc.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
( The exact dates are little loose because it was a few months ago and Coinbase did not document much of it in emails to me as they usually do for something reason. ) On XX/XX/23 I made a large Bitcoin purchase through Coinbase. Coinbase allowed this charge through and took a {$270.00} fee. It was during a lot of price action with the asset. It was clear that there may be up to a 3 day hold on the funds, but may even be available before that. When I tried to access my funds I was told that it was still subject to review for up to a week. 

After the week I still could not access my funds. I purchased them with the explicit intent to trade the funds during all of the ample price action. After finding I still did not have access to the coins I contacted Coinbase again and inquired. I was then told that they were subject to an extraordinary hold for review and that there's nothing else they could tell me about it. The funds would be available in 3 weeks. 

Upon contacting customer service again and kindly exhausting any options I could possibly have with the representative, I was placed on hold and then told that they " reviewed your account and determined that you are not eligible to use the Coinbase platform '' they could not give me any information as to why. 

Worst yet I was ONLY allowed to sell the coins through the platform and transfer the money off, I could not just move the coins and move on from the platform. The price had fallen 15 % in that time and I was forced to sell at a loss. 

Not only was I forced to sell at a loss for no explanation, but they charged me ~ {$300.00} both on the purchase and on the sale. 

I had absolutely no reason to expect there would be any issue making this purchase as I had been a happy, faithful customer for 12 years. Now they caused me to lose over {$1000.00} in losses on the asset, ~ {$1000.00} in the loan I took out to take advantage of the opportunity in the first place which turned into an absolute loss instead, and then on top of that they charged me {$800.00} in fees for the service. 

At the VERY LEAST they should absolutely be required to refund me the transaction fees which they did not honor in any way. They charged {$400.00} to sell me coins they chose to not let me use, then FORCED me to sell it through their service as my only option for another {$400.00} with no explanation whatsoever after no contentions with the company for over a decade. 

All in all it came to roughly {$3000.00} for things completely out of my hands, entirely at their discretion, where they will disclose nothing about what happened and got to just force this on me behind closed doors. Let alone the opportunity cost of getting the asset at such an opportune time and being able to trade it as planned.
