Complaint narrative:
To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to formally report that I have become a victim of identity theft, which I believe is a direct result of the XXXX XXXX breach. This unfortunate situation has caused significant distress and inconvenience in my life. 

Recently, I discovered unauthorized transactions and accounts opened in my name, which I did not initiate or authorize. After investigating further, I realized that my personal information, including my Social Security number and financial details, had been compromised due to the breach. This has not only affected my financial standing but has also caused emotional turmoil as I navigate the repercussions of someone else 's fraudulent actions. 

In response to this situation, I have taken immediate steps to mitigate the damage, including contacting my bank, credit card companies, and credit reporting agencies to freeze my accounts and monitor any suspicious activity. I have also filed a report with my local law enforcement agency and am in the process of gathering all necessary documentation to support my claim. 

I understand the importance of resolving this issue promptly and appreciate any assistance you can provide in helping me restore my identity and secure my personal information. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I hope to resolve this issue as swiftly as possible.

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/year> I requested an investigation into this account and you didn't fix the errors. Then on XX/XX/year> I requested a re-investigation, and you still did not fix any errors. Even after these two investigations you are showing this account was charged off every month for 13 months in a row. An account can only be charged off once, not 13 times. I I'm in disagreement with the account listed below, which still appears on my credit report, even after 2 investigations. This is highly injurious to my credit, it undermines the faith in the credit reporting system, and against the FCRA statutes. I am demanding a deletion of this account. Failure to comply with this demand within the specified timeframe will leave me no choice but to pursue legal remedies, which may include filing formal complaints with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) and the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), as well as seeking damages through litigation. I look forward to your prompt response and resolution of this matter. Please confirm receipt of this letter and provide a written response outlining the steps you are taking to address this issue.

Company: Kriya Capital, LLC

Complaint narrative:
I had previously submitted a complaint regarding a collection from XXXX XXXX XXXX which they said I owed them a balance of {$510.00}. The original complaint was resolved and I was instructed to submit a fraud report to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  and my collection was removed. I have attempted to call XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX department multiple times and it is consistently saying that there is no operator available to assist. I attempt to go through the phone system to submit a fraud report but it is asking me to put in a phone number/account number to an XXXX XXXX XXXX account that I never had in the first place because I have never used or made an XXXX XXXX XXXX  account. I never received a fraud packet in the mail and when I go into an XXXX XXXX XXXX  store, they are also instructing me to call the fraud department. Now on my credit report, it is saying I have collection again of {$510.00} now coming from a company called CREDENCE REPORT XXXX, and its once again stating that the original creditor is XXXX XXXX XXXX. I am very frustrated on XXXX XXXX XXXX  's end on how to solve this once and for all. I would like this resolved permanently.
