Issue: False statements or representation — Attempted to collect wrong amount
Company: Rowland Avenue Management, Inc. A/KA Columbia Debt Recovery, LLC d/b/a Genesis
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
To start off I was not aware that I owed my apartment complex money, when we moved out we were told we did not owe anything. 3 years later I get emails and phone calls saying I owed {$2000.00} for damage to the property when there was no damage left. I asked for a receipt when they first sent me to collections and the receipt said my boyfriend at the time made XXXX payments towards it in 2021 and they labeled it as ( in house ) payments which did not take place, we were now living in California and that was in Utah. Last year they doubled the amount and added it to my XXXX credit score and I was able to get one removed from my XXXX but under the third party debt collectors website it still says I owe double the amount when they state it only has a 10 % interest a year. Today I got called and told it was doubled again because of that interest rate but there is no way it can he doubled with that interest rate so what they were saying is {$2000.00} is now {$4000.00} I was able to get it removed off of my transunion but they then decided to add it to my experian after it got removed from my transunion. They are also closing it and opening it every year so my concern is that its never going to fall off my credit report. Not to mention the harrassing phone calls telling me Im a big girl and I need to figure out how to pay them back and making fun of me for being a single mom and not affording to pay this XXXX debt I owe them. After doing some research I have seen that these companies have done it to multiple people. The apartment company is called greystar and the collections company goes under XXXX debt collectors genesis. Another thing, every time they open and close it on my credit report they use a different name. This collection has already impacted me significantly, as a single mom barely making ends meet XXXX cant even take a credit card out due to this. When I brought up how they charged me twice on the account after looking at their website, he said they were going to dispute it to see if it was true. I just tried to log in again and it wont let me log into the account. Something fishy is definitely going on. Please I ask you to investigate these companies because it is being done to multiple people

I am writing to file a complaint against Navy Federal Credit Union regarding multiple overdraft fees that I have incurred.

Company: Coinbase, Inc.

Complaint narrative:
I mistakenly sent XXXX ETH to the wrong address using a throwaway address and contacted Coinbase for assistance. Instead of resolving the issue, Coinbase closed my original account without crediting my funds. When I reached out again, they assured me the funds would be credited if I created a new account. 

I followed their instructions and created a new account, but Coinbase immediately closed it without explanation. They then informed me I was not eligible for the credit, directly contradicting their prior assurance. 

Despite my repeated attempts to seek clarity and resolution, Coinbase has failed to provide a valid explanation for their actions or their failure to credit my funds as promised. Their handling of this matter has been misleading, inconsistent, and deeply frustrating, leaving me without access to the XXXX ETH that is rightfully mine.
