Company: Kriya Capital, LLC
State: CT

Complaint narrative:
To Whom It May Concern, I am formally disputing the validity of the alleged debt that your agency has reported on my credit file. This negative item is causing undue harm to my financial stability, limiting my ability to support my family and purchase a home.

Under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) 15 U.S.C. 1692g, you are required to provide me with a validation notice within five days of your initial communication, outlining the amount of the debt, the name of the creditor, and my right to dispute the debt. To date, I have not received such notice.

Furthermore, under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( a ), you are prohibited from reporting information that has not been properly verified. Your agency has failed to provide evidence of my consent or acknowledgment of this debt, in violation of my consumer rights. 

Case law further supports my position : XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX. XXXX XXXX. XXXX ) establishes that a simple declaration by a creditor that a debt is valid is insufficient. 

XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX ) holds that a debt collector must provide sufficient detail to validate a debt, ensuring it is accurate and lawful. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX ( XXXX XXXX. XXXX. XXXX, XXXX ) found that credit reporting agencies and furnishers are responsible for ensuring accurate reporting, and failure to do so may result in legal consequences. 

In light of the above, I am demanding the following actions : Cease and desist reporting this alleged debt to any credit reporting agencies ( XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX ) immediately. 

Provide me with all validation documents, including the original signed agreement ( if any ) proving my obligation to this debt. 

Remove this item from my credit report within 30 days and provide written confirmation of the deletion. 

If you fail to comply with these demands, I will proceed with my complaint to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) and explore all legal remedies available to me under the FCRA and FDCPA. 

This letter serves as notice under the FDCPA and FCRA. Failure to respond accordingly may result in further legal action. Please respond in writing to the address listed above. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Subject : Dispute of Civil Liability for Negligent Non-Compliance ( Section 1681 O ) Dear CFPB, I am writing to formally dispute the following inaccurate information that appears on my credit report. Under Section 1681 O of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I am notifying you that there has been a failure to comply with the obligations set forth in the law, specifically related to the handling of my credit report and information.

According to the FCRA, credit reporting agencies and furnishers of information are required to ensure the accuracy and completeness of information provided to credit reporting agencies.

I am requesting that you investigate this dispute within the 30-day period prescribed by the law and take appropriate action to correct or remove the inaccurate information from my report. 
If this issue is not resolved in a timely and satisfactory manner, I will pursue all available legal remedies, including but not limited to, seeking civil liability for negligence under Section 1681 O of the FCRA.

State: NY

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. ''

Complaint narrative:
My credit report contains late payment remarks that are completely inaccurate and misrepresent my actual payment history. These false records are unfairly lowering my credit score and harming my financial reputation. I will not allow these reporting errors to go unchallenged. 

The following items I am disputing are the following : Company Name : XXXXXX/XX/XXXXXXXX - Account # : XXXX - Past Due Amount : {$0.00} Company Name : XX/XX/XXXXXXXX - Account # : XXXX - Past Due Amount : {$0.00} Despite my diligence in managing my financial obligations, these mistakes continue to create unnecessary obstacles. The FCRA clearly states that any incorrect, outdated, or unverifiable information must be promptly corrected or removed. I demand immediate action to rectify these errors, as any further delay will only increase the damage already done. Failure to act swiftly will be seen as deliberate negligence.
