Complaint narrative:
Subject : Formal Complaint and Request for Investigation and Removal of Unauthorized Charge-off. 
I am formally disputing and request the immediate investigation and removal of unauthorized and inaccurately reported charge-off entries by a XXXX collection agency on my credit report. These entries have severely affected my financial standing, disqualifying me from securing a home mortgage, an auto loan, and any lines of credit. 
It is critical to highlight that I have never entered any contractual relationship with this collection agency. Their actions to report on my credit without a direct agreement are not only baseless but also infringe upon my consumer rights, constituting a clear violation of XXXX  legal standards pertaining to credit reporting and consumer privacy : XXXX. **Unauthorized Reporting** : The reporting of charge-offs, which are essentially certificates of indebtedness that I have never agreed upon, appears on my credit report without my authorization. This action is in direct violation of the principles that govern lawful credit reporting. 
XXXX. **Failure to Furnish Form XXXX : The collection agency has also failed to provide me with a copy of Form XXXX concerning the cancellation of debt, which is essential for accurate tax reporting and compliance. This omission has potentially placed me at risk of non-compliance with IRS regulations. 
XXXX. **Violation of Privacy Rights** : Under the Privacy Act of 1974 ( 5 U.S. Code 552a ), there is a stringent protection against the unlawful disclosure of personal information. The agency 's action contravenes these legal provisions by disclosing personal financial details without my consent. 
XXXX. **No Contractual Relationship** : As I have never signed any form of agreement with the said agency, their report constitutes a direct infringement on my rights as a consumer. 
XXXX. **Opt-Out Rights** : In accordance with the provisions of 12 CFR 1016.1, 12 CFR 1016.4, and 12 CFR 1016.7 along with 15 USC 6802 ( b ) and 15 USC 6805, I am formally opting out of all authorizations, whether impliedly granted, for sharing or reporting my credit information. 
Given these points, I urge you to act swiftly in investigating these claims and remove the inaccurate charge-off entries from my credit report. I expect a written confirmation of the deletion of these entries. Please understand that I am prepared to take further steps, including legal action, if necessary, to ensure the correction of my credit information and to protect my rights. Thank you for your immediate attention to this serious matter. I look forward to your prompt response and resolution.

After my last attempt, I contacted Coinbase XXXX customer support ( XX/XX/2024 ) and laid out the transactions and the problems. I can still see these failed transactions in the transactions tab on the app. My ID is XXXX. I received an automatic email from Coinbase Support and was assigned Case # XXXX. Since then, I have sent them two additional emails to ask for some feedback, a reply, an update, an apology, or any such thing. Coinbase has been silent since. It has been 9 days since the initial problem and communication, and my problem doesnt require a whole lot of analysis I dont believe. So I am filing this complaint at the direction of a legal friend of mine in the hopes that Coinbase XXXX  fix the functionality and make my account whole.
