Secondly by miappropriating ( lump sum principal payment of {$9900.00} and instead denying COVID Assistance and Using principal lump sum payments during the disaster instead of refunding the payments as requested. 
When the Misapplied payment was brought to Ally 's attention, they promised an Extension through XX/XX/XXXX. 

I called Ally Financial Services on 10 different occasions to endure long hours of hold times, to be transferred from department to department, or to hang up trying to obtain information from the company regarding the vehicle. I spoke with a guy Named XXXX who was very nasy and condesending who ( stated he could act like a manager ). He promised 24-48 hour callbacks from Ally, which were NEVER received. 
The company has illegally covered my vehicle. 

However, The guarantor was in Pending Bankruptcy, which was later dismissed. Subsequently, without repo notices, Ally Financial repossessed the vehicle and refused to communicate redemption or recovery of the vehicle or provide any information to recover the vehicle. 

Ally Financial Services has continued to impact our daily operations. This company vehicle has equipment such as cameras, printers, and cell phone mounts, as it was recently enrolled in a XXXX platform. These actions, which violate laws and consumer protection regulations, have caused significant and irreparable damages to our operations by failing to explain amount owed, provide any reinstatement or redemption Notices, or Prior Notice to Repossess

Company: Kriya Capital, LLC
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I've received your letter claiming you have validated ( or verified ) the above reference number, but the problem is you didn't provide the documentation that proves I owe you anything. Where is the contract between your company and me? Where is the full accounting because I can't just take your word for it that I owe some company I've never contracted with, some made up number? Where is your license and bond? In fact, from what you sent, I can see that you are trying to collect for something that is outside the statute of limitations for my state ( if that is the case ). 
You also haven't proved you have any right to be on my credit report because I know for a fact I've never contracted with you nor consented to you being able to make any communication on my credit reports. You're violating the FDCPA by continuing collection activity and you're violating the FCRA by furnishing information and verifying invalidated information, disputed information, erroneous information, when no access to my credit reports has ever been granted to you. 
Please remove your debt off of my credit reports until you can provide some proof that I actually owe you. You haven't done that yet and, by law, you are to cease collection activity immediately. I reject your hearsay as being validation or verification. I reject the bills you sent as being validation because they are not. I reject any of your claims of validation or verification because you haven't proved anything. 
Act Immediately.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year> I tried to create an account at Experian.com to verify my existing credit freeze. Despite providing all the necessary information, the web site consistently replied saying there was an error servicing the request. I was in a browser without any blocking extensions and no VPN. 

I then called the telephone number given and went through the prompts to try to talk to a representative. It refused to transfer me to anybody, instead telling me it could send info by mail or to give me the website again. 

This is outrageous and unacceptable. They seem to be deliberately blocking people from accessing their site verify a credit freeze. I have talked with other people having the same problem.

Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
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.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), you are required by federal law to verify - through the physical verification of the original signed consumer contract - any and all accounts you post on a credit report. Otherwise, anyone paying for your reporting services could fax, mail or email in a fraudulent account. 

It is also my request by virtue of the FAIR CREDIT REPORTING ACT FCRA 611 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681 ) that documentation showing evidence of a properly opened investigation of the below disputed accounts be forwarded to me along with any and all responding letters or documents of these alleged creditors. Failure to provide to me these documents along with certified proof of contractual agreements between myself and all of the below listed alleged creditors shall constitute admittance that this consumer reporting agency is reporting inaccurate and unverifiable consumer information and shall be removed and deleted immediately to comply with the FAIR CREDIT REPORTING ACT FCRA 611 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681 ) legislation.

I demand to see Verifiable Proof ( an original Consumer Contract with my Signature on it ) you have on file of the accounts listed below. Your failure to positively verify these accounts has hurt my ability to obtain credit. Under the FCRA, unverified accounts must be removed and if you are unable to provide me a copy of verifiable proof, you must remove the accounts listed below.

The below listed accounts by the Original Creditors, who have reported these accounts within my credit reports, do not belong to me in part or in whole. Let it also be noted that I did not give my authorization for anyone else to open these accounts. 

They are being listed as follows : ( Collection account ) XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX
