Consumer complaint received 2024-07-31 00:00:00
Product: Debt collection — Telecommunications debt
Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive notice of right to dispute
Company: Kriya Capital, LLC
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint against Credence Resource Management for their repeated failure to provide proper validation of a debt they are attempting to collect, and for reporting inaccurate information to the credit bureaus. 

Details of the Issue : Lack of Proper Licensing : Credence Resource Management does not possess the necessary license to collect debts in the state of New Jersey. According to New Jersey state law, debt collectors must be licensed to operate within the state. Credence Resource Management 's lack of licensing renders their collection activities illegal and invalid.

Failure to Provide Adequate Validation : Despite multiple requests for validation, Credence Resource Management has failed to provide proper documentation as required by the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). They have only provided a standard account summary, which does not meet the legal requirements for debt validation. Specifically, they have not provided : The original signed contract with the original creditor. 

A complete payment history. 

Proof of assignment or ownership of the debt by Credence Resource Management. 
Instead, Credence Resource Management has repeatedly provided the same insufficient form that does not constitute valid proof of debt. This form does not address my request for proper validation and fails to meet the standards set by the FDCPA. 

Continued Reporting of Disputed Debt : Credence Resource Management has continued to verify the debt with the credit bureaus without providing proper validation. This is a direct violation of the FDCPA, 15 U.S. Code 1692g, which requires debt collectors to cease collection activities until the debt is validated.

Impact : The actions of Credence Resource Management have caused significant stress and financial hardship by negatively impacting my credit score with inaccurate information.

Complaint narrative:
" I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding unauthorized accounts that persist on my credit report despite my repeated efforts to have them removed. These accounts are causing significant damage to my financial reputation and overall well-being. It is evident that the inclusion of these fraudulent items violates 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes, as the credit bureaus have no legitimate reason to report them without my explicit consent. Please refer to the attached file detailing these items I am disputing.

The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence, which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. ''

Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive enough information to verify debt
Company: First Credit Services Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to formally lodge a complaint against First Credit Services regarding a potentially unlawful debt collection practice that has affected my credit report and personal financial standing. I recently reviewed my credit report and discovered that First Credit Services has placed a collection account on my file ( account number XXXX ), which I believe violates my consumer rights as stipulated under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) and the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

To my knowledge, I have never received any communication or notification regarding this alleged debt, nor was I given an opportunity to dispute or verify its validity. This lack of communication is a breach of my rights to be informed and to respond accordingly.

In accordance with the FDCPA, I hereby request that First Credit Services provide proof of the following : 1. Any documentation that confirms my liability for the debt in question.

2. A detailed statement of the amount owed.

3. The original creditor 's information.

4. Proof of any notice of debt sent to me, including a certified receipt bearing my signature as proof of delivery.

Furthermore, I request the immediate removal of this account from my credit report as it was reported without verifying its accuracy, which is a direct violation of the FCRA.

I have also taken the liberty to attach copies of the credit report pages that show the unauthorized entry by First Credit Services. I expect a prompt response to this complaint and a swift resolution to the issues mentioned above.

Please let me know if further information is needed on my part. You may contact me through my phone number or email address provided above. I appreciate your attention to this urgent matter and look forward to the resolution of my complaint. 

Thank you for your assistance. 

Yours sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX
