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. A 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.

Company: Coinbase, Inc.
State: AR

Complaint narrative:
I

am writing to formally express my frustration regarding the ongoing lack of resolution for my account issue with Coinbase. Despite reaching out over 30 times and providing all requested documentationincluding my ID, tax information, and bank information ( each sent on five separate occasions ) my account remains restricted. I am still unable to buy, sell, or transfer funds. Each time I contact support, I receive the same response that the matter has been escalated, yet no progress or concrete update has been provided. This repetitive cycle without resolution is unacceptable and has significantly impacted my ability to use my account as intended. The issue has been ongoing for 30 months, with each call taking 30-60 minutes without any resolution. I respectfully request that this matter be addressed immediately, with a specific timeline for resolution and a direct update on the exact steps being taken. They have held my funds exceeding {$260000.00} for the past 2.5 years. I have been repeatedly told that the resolution will be next week for the past two years. I am desperately in need of funds and unable to obtain them. At this point, I am having to take personal loans to help me with the funds necessary to provide for myself.

Complaint narrative:
I am following up to document that Experian, TransUnion, and Equifax have not responded to this dispute at all since my complaint was filed. While I understand that the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA 611 ( a ) ) allows up to 30 days for a response, I am extremely concerned that none of the bureaus have even acknowledged the dispute or provided any confirmation of investigation in progress. This lack of communication, given my past unresolved complaints and the urgent need to remove inaccurate and unverifiable information from my report, is unacceptable. These derogatory accounts including XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, and multiple charge-offs are causing immediate harm by blocking me from housing and transportation. I am requesting CFPB oversight to ensure a timely and lawful response and to prevent further delay or noncompliance.

I previously filed a formal complaint with the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) regarding unauthorized inquiries on my credit report. The reference number for that complaint is XXXX, filed on XX/XX/XXXX. 
Complaint Description : My credit report contains unauthorized inquiries that were made without my consent. Upon contacting the creditors responsible for these inquiries, they confirmed they have no evidence that I initiated these inquiries and lack any written or verbal authorization from me.

Due to the lack of valid grounds for these inquiries, I formally requested their immediate removal. The credit bureau in question has not provided a satisfactory response, which is why I filed a complaint with the FTC.

Details of Disputed Inquiries : Creditor 1 : XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/XXXX TransUnion Creditor 2 : XXXX  XXXX TransUnion Creditor 3 XXXX XXXX TransUnion Creditor XXXX : XXXX  XXXX XX/XX/XXXX TransUnion Creditor XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/XXXX TransUnion Legal Grounds ( Fair Credit Reporting Act, FCRA ) : Permissible Purposes : Under Section 604, unauthorized inquiries do not meet the requirements for permissible purposes.

Right of Verification : Section 609 grants me the right to verify each inquiry with an original signed contract.

Information Provider Responsibility : Section 623 requires that reported data is accurate and authorized.

Protection Against Identity Theft : Section 605A mandates the removal of unauthorized inquiries potentially related to identity theft. 
Additional Legal Support : Cases such as Pintos v. Pacific Creditors Association ( 2010 ) and Dennis v. BEH-1, LLC ( 2002 ) reinforce that inquiries must meet the FCRA 's permissible purposes requirements.
