These accounts listed on my letter is not 100 % correct and i demand them to be investigated completely.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was result of identity theft
Company: ENCORE CAPITAL GROUP INC.
State: TN

Complaint narrative:
To Whom It XXXX Concern, I am responding to Midland Credit XXXX 's recent submission regarding alleged account ownership and reporting practices. While I acknowledge receipt of your response dated XX/XX/XXXX, your explanation does not resolve the core of my complaint- namely, the misleading credit reporting practices and disregard for the active fraud alert on my file. 

This is not my account. I am the victim of identity theft and have no knowledge of the alleged XXXX XXXX account that Midland Credit XXXX ( MCM ) is attempting to collect. 

I have had a XXXX fraud alert in place since XX/XX/XXXX, which requires any creditor or collector to contact me at XXXX before opening or collecting on any account. MCM did not contact me, verify my identity, or validate this debt prior to placing it on my credit reports a direct violation of FCRA XXXX. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, Midland Credit XXXX reported this account to the credit bureaus as an active collection despite the fact that I had already disputed the debt and ongoing complaint and have a fraud alert in place, and had never received proper validation. 

MCM is also falsely listing the open date as XX/XX/XXXX, the date they claim to have purchased the debt. This is re-aging, in violation of FCRA XXXX ( c ), and misrepresents the actual age of the account. It damages my credit and makes the account appear newer than it is. 

I disputed the debt and requested full validation under FDCPA XXXX, but MCM failed to provide : The original signed agreement or credit application Full transaction or payment history from Capital XXXX Any proof that I ever opened or used this account There is no payment history with this account, and I have never acknowledged, paid, or authorized any activity on it. The absence of any payment record further proves this account was opened and reported without my consent or knowledge and that Midland Credit XXXX has no basis to claim this is my debt. I will continue to monitor this issue through the CFPB until this matter is fully resolved. Thank you. 

Respectfully, XXXX XXXX

Company: Affirm Holdings, Inc
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I filed a complaint with the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Complaint # XXXX ) regarding Affirms selective reporting practices. Affirm responded by confirming I had five fully paid loans which they chose not to report to the credit bureaus. However, they did report a single negative item from my history. 

This results in an incomplete and misleading representation of my creditworthiness, in violation of the FCRAs requirement that reported data be accurate and complete. While creditors arent required to report every account, they must not selectively report in a way that distorts the consumers credit profile. 

Additionally, Affirm only reports to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX While I understand they are not legally obligated to report to all bureaus, this inconsistent practice adds to the distortion of my credit profile and further limits the benefits of the positive accounts I responsibly paid. 

I provided documentation of all accounts and formally requested that Affirm either : 1. Report the positive accounts to reflect a complete and fair credit history, or 2. Remove the negative item since it is not being reported in context. 

I am now filing this CFPB complaint because Affirm has refused to correct the issue. Ive attached the full XXXX record and supporting documentation.

Company: Coinbase, Inc.
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
At all times related to this claim, I was an accountholder at a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and licensed Money Services Business ( MSB ) Coinbase , Inc. , ( Coinbase ) and held in my account/wallet valuable cryptocurrency assets. Coinbase promotes itself as The most trusted cryptocurrency platform that is guided by Industry best practices and that XXXX stored on our servers is covered by our insurance policy. I was aware of and relied on those representations of security in storing my assets on Coinbases platform. Despite its self-promotion about how secure, reliable, and trustworthy its services are, though, customers assets at Coinbase are at risk of being fraudulently withdrawn -- something of which Coinbase is well aware but has not taken adequate steps to prevent or remedy. 

Coinbase has had announced and unannounced breaches of data maintained on, and security of, its platform; leading to a variety of harms suffered by Coinbase account/wallet holders : support scams, penetrations of Coinbases platform leading to XXXX swaps, failure to block blacklisted destination addresses, and account takeovers. Coinbase is responsible for securing its platform and all internal and external cryptocurrency payment rails, which serve as the infrastructure that facilitates the transfer of digital currencies between parties. In this case, Coinbase failed to secure data maintained on its platform and failed to properly verify the authenticity and integrity of the cryptocurrency payment rail ( XXXX ) that transferred cryptocurrency from my account/wallet to the destination address of the recipient of my stolen assets. Coinbases failure to design and implement adequate security measures on its platform and on the payment, rails was a material factor in directly and/or proximately causing my loss. Commencing on or about XX/XX/year>, Coinbases falsely advertised, faulty security measures failed me ; and as a result, I suffered the loss of cryptocurrency from my account/wallet that was valued at the time at approximately {>= $1,000,000}. 

I seek, among other things, restitution, compensatory damages, and equitable relief for the harm I have suffered, as I hold Coinbase accountable for platform breakdowns, failures in security design or implementation, and statutory/common law breaches that permitted/assisted the theft of the personal assets I held at Coinbase.
