On XX/XX/2022 a check was written on the XXXX account in which I am in charge of. The check was fraudulent and approximately 12 more checks were written in large amounts up to XXXX per check for an approximate total of {$40000.00}.

Company: Kriya Capital, LLC
State: MO
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account status incorrect

Complaint:
I am reaching out to address a critical matter concerning Credence RM 's inaccurate reporting on my consumer report, disseminated by XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX which I believe constitutes violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 15 U.S. Code 1681s2.

The FCRA clearly states in 15 U.S. Code 1681s2 ( a ) that furnishers of information to consumer reporting agencies have a " duty to provide accurate information. '' The law prohibits the furnishing of any information " if the person knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate. '' Moreover, the Internal Revenue Service ( IRS ) regulation is explicit, stating, " Even if you didn't receive a Form 1099-C, you must report canceled debt as gross income on your tax return. '' It is crucial to note that the IRS defines a charge-off as gross or ordinary income, emphasizing that " income does not get reported on the consumer report. '' Thus, any reporting of this account as a debt is inaccurate and in violation of IRS regulations.

I urge the immediate correction of the account status to reflect " closed and paid as agreed. '' Additionally, the reporting of Charge Offs across all three credit reporting agencies by Credence RM is inconsistent with 15 U.S. Code 1681s2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), which prohibits the furnishing of inaccurate information. The law specifically states, " A person shall not furnish any information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if the person knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate. '' The reporting of such inaccurate information has caused severe damage to my character, my reputation, my general mode of living and my ability to obtain credit for personal and house purposes. It has damaged my livelihood. 
In light of the above, I formally request a method and mode of verification for each credit reporting agency to rectify these inaccuracies promptly. 
I appreciate your attention to this matter and trust that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau will conduct a thorough investigation to ensure compliance with consumer protection laws. 
Thank you for your time and consideration.

Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Complaint:
NOTICE TO AGENT IS NOTICE TO PRINCIPAL NOTICE TO PRINCIPAL IS NOTICE TO AGENT I hereby give your company notice pursuant 15 USC 1602 ( k ) that your company never provided an adequate notice which clearly & conspicuously mentions the pertinent facts of this transaction. Your company did even inform about the Cost of Credit and the only evidence of the indebtedness was just a computer-generated agreement.

According to 15 USC 1602 ( K ), the term " adequate notice '' means a printed notice to a cardholder which sets forth the pertinent facts clearly and conspicuously so that a person against whom it is to operate could reasonably be expected to have noticed it and understood its meaning. Such noticed may be given to a cardholder by printing the notice on any credit card, or on each periodic statement of account, issued to the cardholder, or by any other means reasonably assuring the receipt thereof by the cardholder.

Since adequate notice was not given as per the above-mentioned section, I couldn't understand its meaning which is violation under 15 USC 1602 ( k ).

Further, pursuant to 15 USC 1601 ( a ) a consumer must be aware of the cost of transaction. Since i was not aware of the transaction therefore made uninformed decision and it resulted in multiple billing errors, and unfair credit card practices. 

I hereby request you do the below mentioned things, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  DELETE. THESE LATE PAYMENTS IN PURSUANT TO 15USC 1681a ( d ) ( 2 ) ( i ) From your end, I have not benefited from this transaction which is again violation of 15 USC 1602 ( p ).

According to 15 USC 1602 ( p ), the term " unauthorized use '' means a use of a credit by a person other than the cardholder who does not have actual, implied, or apparent authority for such use and from which the cardholder receives no benefit. 

I hereby request you to do the below -mentioned things, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX DELETE THESE ACCOUNT OFF MY REPORT AND VALIDATE THE DEBT 15 USC 1692G ( 4 ) If you accept my request, i will not escalate this matter to Federal Court. in case, you dont accept the above request, a legal action shall be taken against your your Company for compensatory damages.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. 

Sincerely XXXX XXXX XXXX Right Reserved Without Prejudice.
