I made a transfer of {$1500.00} from my credit card with a limit of XXXX, received the money in my checking account. They then transferred {$1600.00} from where I don't know I was over limit at that point. They said they sent me a new credit card I have no new activated credit card I don't know where the money went from this transfer but they are charging me for it ruining my credit and wanting me to pay back {$1600.00} I never received. They can not prove I received the money, I can prove the {$1500.00} original into my checking account and will certainly be paying that back. I did not receive another {$1600.00}, and will not pay that back. I want this account fixed and my over limit repaired so my credit rating is not ruined by this fraud transaction.

Complaint narrative:
After reviewing my credit profile on XX/XX/XXXX I identified a discrepancy with my account listed under XXXX XXXX and validation was requested as this was an account that I did not recognize. I reviewed my credit report again on XX/XX/XXXX and the account continues to reflect on my credit report and I have not received any correspondence from creditor to validate this account as correctly belonging to me, nor has my credit report been updated to reflect that the account is disputed and therefore a 2nd validation letter was send out on this day. After reviewing my credit report again on XX/XX/XXXX There have been no updates and account is still reflecting on the report. I do not believe the account continues to negatively affect me. Please strike and remove this account from 3 Credit Bureaus until adequate validation has been received proving that the account belongs to me and all information is correct.

Issue: Money was not available when promised — 
Company: Foris DAX, Inc.
State: TN

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I linked my bank to Crypto.com and purchased {$100.00} in Bitcoin. I chose the instant transfer method, which appeared to let me access my cryptocurrency immediately. While I was able to purchase {$100.00} in Bitcoin, it was essentially locked in my account and is still locked in my account as of XX/XX/XXXX. That is a total of 12 days, or 8 business days. It was not clearly visible to me prior to making the purchase that the Bitcoin I purchased would not be available to me to transfer to an external wallet. It was deceptive in the name of the type of transfer and in the way that the business is holding my money hostage, essentially. 

I made further purchases with my debit card, which allowed me to access my bitcoin instantly. While the original {$100.00} was still frozen, I could transfer the debit card purchased bitcoin. I made multiple debit card purchases without issue. Today, XX/XX/XXXX, I purchased {$150.00} in Bitcoin and initiated a transfer to an external wallet. Minutes after, I received an email letting me know that my account was disabled while they verify that I own the card I'm using on their site. What's interesting is that the purchased bitcoin is still in my account, it is just frozen with the original {$100.00}, meaning Crypto.com is holding {$250.00} of my money and will not let me move it. Representatives for Crypto.com have been extremely incompetent and unhelpful throughout the process. I have verified my identity with Crypto.com twice, they have approved my verification documents and there is no issue there.
