Complaint narrative:
These entries remain unverified and questionable. Despite multiple attempts to have these inaccuracies properly investigated and resolved, no meaningful action has been taken. I have submitted all required documentation and followed up repeatedly, yet the errors persist.

The mental and emotional toll of dealing with these unresolved discrepancies has been overwhelming. 
Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I am entitled to a fair and accurate credit report, including the removal of unverifiable or incorrect information. I urge you to take immediate steps to verify and rectify these items, as failure to do so constitutes a violation of my rights under federal law

Company: Kriya Capital, LLC
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
Hi! 

I am filing this complaint because Credence Resource Management has reported a derogatory debt on my credit report that I do not recognize or believe to be valid. 

On XX/XX/year>, I discovered a derogatory mark for the amount of {$150.00}, placed by Credence Resource Management, on my credit report. I have no knowledge of this debt and was never notified about it prior to seeing it listed. 

On XX/XX/year>, I sent a formal debt validation letter to Credence Resource Management via certified mail, as permitted under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). I requested documentation proving the debts validity including the name of the original creditor, a breakdown of charges, and any signed agreement linking me to the account. 

As of today ( XX/XX/year> ), I have received no response or documentation from them. They may have attempted to reach me by phone, but I did not answer because I did not recognize the number and was concerned it could be a scam. I also recently moved, so it is possible any physical mail was sent to my previous address. However, no follow-up or proper validation was ever provided. 

In addition, I filed disputes with both XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX reviewed the claim and removed the derogatory mark, determining it was invalid. However, XXXX has kept the item on my report, despite the lack of validation. 

This is why I am reaching out to the CFPB I do not recognize this debt, I have not been provided proof that it belongs to me, and I am seeking help resolving this matter. 

I respectfully request that the CFPB : Investigate whether Credence Resource Management is violating the FDCPA or FCRA Ensure that no further reporting or collection takes place unless full debt validation is provided Require the removal of the derogatory mark from my credit report if validation can not be produced

Complaint narrative:
I was utterly shocked and devastated upon discovering unauthorized accounts, credit inquiries and inaccurate personal information made or reported without my knowledge or consent. Despite my efforts to seek clarification from the creditors, they have shamefully failed to provide the necessary information. I demand immediate action and transparency from the creditors. The creditors must provide detailed information on each account and inquiry, including dates, purposes, and types of credit products involved, furnish relevant application documents, and present evidence of explicit authorization for each inquiry. 

Please see the attached file for what I am complaining about! 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.

Complaint narrative:
I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

Company: Block, Inc.
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
I am reaching out to request assistance regarding a mistaken transaction I made on XX/XX/2025. On that date, I sent a total of {$40.00} in two separate transactions to the Cash App account XXXX XXXX. The first transaction of {$20.00} was sent at XXXX XXXX and the second {$20.00} was sent at XXXXXXXX XXXX 

After completing both payments, I was informed that the account I sent the money to is closed and no longer accessible by the intended recipient. At the time of sending the payments, I had no knowledge that the account was inactive. The person I intended to send the money to has confirmed that they can not access that account and therefore have no way of returning the funds to me. 

Since the funds were sent to an account that is essentially defunct and unable to receive or return money, I kindly ask for your help in recovering or refunding the total amount of {$40.00}. I understand that Cash App transactions are usually considered final, but I believe this situation warrants special consideration given the circumstances. 

Please let me know if you require any additional information such as the transaction IDs, screenshots, or other documentation to help resolve this issue. I truly appreciate your time and support in reviewing this matter, and I look forward to hearing back from you with a resolution. 

Thank you for your understanding and assistance.
