Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TN

Complaint narrative:
Ive recently discovered several late payment notations on my credit report that are completely false, and I want to make it clear that I will not tolerate these inaccuracies being used to misjudge my financial character. These harmful entries are dragging down my credit score, affecting my access to opportunities, and putting unnecessary strain on my mental and emotional health. Some of these alleged late payments were in fact made on time, while others may stem from clerical mistakes or internal processing delays that were never communicated to me. The Fair Credit Reporting Act requires that every piece of data on a consumer report be factually accurate and verifiable by original documentation. That means if these late payment entries can not be backed up with real, dated billing statements or signed agreements, they should not be reported at all. I am demanding that these entries be immediately corrected or removed, depending on what the documentation proves. If the credit reporting agencies or furnishers continue to ignore this matter, I will interpret that as a willful and deliberate violation of federal lawand respond accordingly. I deserve better, and I will fight until this is made right.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:
XXXX  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 XXXX, alleging systemic issues such as failing to forward consumer-provided evidence to furnishers, accepting unreliable responses, and failing to adequately notify consumers of dispute outcomes. These failures align with my experience, where XXXX  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 XXXXXXXX XXXX inaction violates federal law and my rights as a consumer.

Complaint narrative:
This CFPB complaint has been filed to request pursuant to FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) that you -- credit reporting agency, block information appearing on my consumer credit report that is the result of identity theft and fraud within 4 business days of you receiving this complaint. I am concerned about the validity and accuracy of your recent investigation of these accounts that are reporting on my credit report. Last month I requested an investigation because I felt the item was not being reported legally. Couple of days ago I received a letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA.

I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be any confusion or stall tactics on your end. I have maintained a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance.

Product: Money transfer, virtual currency, or money service — Virtual currency
Issue: Money was not available when promised — 
Company: Coinbase, Inc.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
Category : Money transfer, virtual currency, or money service Virtual currency What happened : I have been a Coinbase customer for several years. Since late XX/XX/year>, my account has been completely restricted from sending or withdrawing cryptocurrency. I can log in and see my assets approximately {$27000.00} but every attempt to transact is blocked with the messages : Sending unavailable. To protect you from potential loss, you are currently unable to send XXXX. 
Withdrawing unavailable. To protect you from potential loss, you are currently unable to withdraw crypto. 
Over the past seven weeks, I have contacted Coinbases Help Center four times. Each time, I was told to re-verify my identification. I have completed this process multiple times most recently two weeks ago and received confirmation that my ID was verified. However, the restriction remains, and today I was told to repeat the process yet again without any valid explanation. 

Coinbase has not provided a clear reason or timeline for this prolonged freeze, despite my full compliance with their requests. This has effectively locked me out of my own funds for nearly two months.

I am concerned that this prolonged retention of customer funds without resolution may violate applicable consumer protection and money services laws. 

What I want : I am requesting that Coinbase immediately either : Fully restore my account functionality so I can send and withdraw cryptocurrency as normal ; or Release all of my funds so I can withdraw them from the platform without further obstruction.

Amount involved : {$27000.00} ( approximate ) Supporting documentation : I can provide screenshots of error messages, verification confirmations, and detailed call logs upon request.
