information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from an alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date of receipt.

State: FL

Complaint narrative:
COLUMBIA DEBT RCVY GENESIS has failed to fulfill its legal obligation under the fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed information on my credit report, leaving inaccurate or unverifiable accounts unresolved. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) has recently filed a lawsuit against, COLUMBIA DEBT RCVY GENESIS alleging systemic issues such as failing to forward consumers of dispute outcomes. These failures align with my experience, where COLUMBIA DEBT RCVY GENESIS has neither corrected nor removed disputed items despite the evidence I provided, causing ongoing harm to my credit standing. I am requesting immediate corrective action to remove or amend the disputed accounts, as COLUMBIA DEBT RCVY GENESIS inaction violates federal law and my rights as a consumer.

Company: Coinbase, Inc.
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
He reached out to me on XXXX XXXX in early XX/XX/XXXX. We established an online friendship that became a love interest in XX/XX/XXXX. We talked by phone and text every day for months. .On XX/XX/XXXX he flew to XXXX XXXX on business and ended up stuck there for 4 months supposedly with financial problems related to the business transaction with Customs wanting more money for duties than he was told before he flew there. He stayed there additional time trying to raise the additional funds to clear Customs. During this time, he lost his wallet and had to notify his bank and debit and credit card companies of the loss and close all his accounts until he returned to the States and could reopen them. He begged for my help under emotional duress to allow him to have a company who owed him money for pending business to wire funds to my bank account. I wanted to help him get his business in XXXX XXXX done so that he could come home and I was head over heels in love with him so I let the company that owed him money send it to me and then I wired it to a company called Coinbase. The {$110000.00} arrived at Coinbase on XX/XX/XXXX. The account was in my name only. I gave no one acces to it and it was safe there. On XX/XX/XXXX that money vanished, I don't know how since I had a passkey and facial recognition on the account and I don't know where it was transferred to or who did it, although I now know for a fact that XXXX XXXX is not who he purported to be. I think that he somehow gained access and transferred that money to one of his 2 bitcoin wallets. I discovered that the pictures he sent to me over the last few months claiming to be of himself and his son XXXX were in fact lifted from the XXXX account of a man named XXXX XXXX who is the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX in XXXX, Ohio. There are currently two active investigations in progress with XXXX XXXX  ( my bank ) fraud department to determine the original sender of the wire into my account. There is also an active investigation at Coinbase to discover how those funds were removed from an account that supposedly only I had access to. The investigation case number with coinbase is # XXXX. The man who I spent 6 months online with and on the phone with, who I believed was the love of my life and was going to be my future husband has turned out to be nothing but a criminal scam artist who has destroyed my life.

Complaint narrative:
I reviewed my consumer report a few days ago from early warning services because I was denied from getting a bank account. It was told to reach out to them. Among me receiving my support and reviewing the information, I came across a lot of accounts that worry unfamiliar to me and not mine. 
It was said for me to have owed money to XXXX XXXX which is untrue. This barrier has stopped me from getting a bank account and different accounts with other companies and I would like for it to be removed quickly.
