Company: PORTFOLIO RECOVERY ASSOCIATES INC
State: WA
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Credit card debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt is not yours

Complaint:
I have contacted Portfolio Recovery Associates multiple times thru certified mail in seeking a validation not verification of a debt supposedly owned by me on XX/XX/20, XX/XX/20, and XX/XX/20. I have received no validation that the debt they are trying to collect on belongs to me. They are still continually illegally reporting on my credit report since they have failed for 7 months to validate this date. I will be taking them to small claims court if their illegal reporting continues and for defamation as they are continually trying to ruin my credit. Attached are all the letters i have sent to this company and received no validation or response in return. I have the certified letter receipts that I will be bringing with me if i sue this company if we can not get this fixed by this complaint.

Company: FinCo Services Inc DBA Current
State: FL
Product: Checking or savings account
Sub-product: Checking account
Issue: Managing an account
Sub-issue: Problem using a debit or ATM card

Complaint:
Hello, I banked with Current. The account is still open and I have attempted to work with them for months now. I disputed a charge that occurred on XX/XX/XXXX for an amount of XXXX. The charge is under XXXX however no other merchant information is available nor can I locate anything about this mysterious charge. So I submitted the dispute to current with my XXXX pay history as the card used was the virtual card they offer which only works with XXXX pay and there was no charge on or around XX/XX/XXXX in the amount of XXXX in my XXXX pay history. On XX/XX/XXXX the only XXXX places I went were XXXX and the tattoo parlor XXXX XXXX. At XXXX I used my innovations debit card to pay for food and at XXXX XXXX, I provided cash for the tattoo and provided a tip of XXXX with the Current debit card. After I submitted the dispute with the evidence they denied the claim saying the phone number matched and that it was a fuel dispenser. I asked for a full report which I have yet to receive it and I also asked them to please advise which fuel dispenser was used so I can go and request surveillance footage which I have still not got a response from Current on which fuel dispenser it was or the business name attached to the fuel dispenser. I submitted a XXXX  dispute which has the same screenshots both from my phone directly and using the my phone app on the pc. This has been an ongoing issue now for 2 months and based on the XXXX  sight a lot of complaints are the same. I feel there has been no real work has been done and they are just denying claims to deny them even though they do not provide any evidence that the charge is legit. I have provided substantial evidence and am dumbfounded that they are prolonging this to the point where legal action could be taken against them for these shennanigans.

Issue: Advertising and marketing, including promotional offers
Sub-issue: Confusing or misleading advertising about the credit card

Complaint:
On or around XX/XX/19 I made a purchase at SAMs club in XXXX SC. The cashier informed me that I was selected to receive {$45.00} offer my purchase. I ask the cashier several times and two of the assistance was this offer involving a credit card or any other promotion and all of them ensured it just was a random selection and all I had to do was sign a form and provide my XXXX card and SS # to verify who I was. Immediately after the transaction was made I went to the service desk to inquire concerning the promotion and this when I was informed I had signed up for a credit card. I notified the Store manager and he called the credit card company and had them to terminate the transaction because I told him it was a fraudulent promotion because his cashier emphatically denied this was not a credit card application or promotion. I have received a letter from Synchrony Bank refusing to have the inquiry removed from my credit history. I am total disappointed because SAM employees are misleading people and I definitely feel this a SCAM. Sam need to put out a disclaimer informing their customer what the real intent of the {$45.00} reduction if for. Therefore, I feel this inquiry should be removed from my credit file before the 25 months stated need to be in place before it can be removed. Needless, to say I offered to pay SAM the {$45.00} discount and the store manager decline to accept the payment because of me being misinformed.

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2022, I submitted a CFPB complaint about XXXX XXXX XXXX and Equifax inaccurately reporting 2 medical collections on my credit file, that I DO NOT OWE. On XX/XX/2022, XXXX XXXX XXXX responded to my complaint stating they will be requesting deletion from Equifax to remove the inaccurate collection account from my credit file. Attached is the confirmation of the deletion letter that XXXX XXXX XXXX provided. On XX/XX/2022, Equifax closed my complaint with the following response : " Company 's Response Thank you for submitting your complaint through the CFPB Complaint Portal. In your complaint, you indicated that there were inaccurate or incorrect items reporting on your credit file. Please be advised that an investigation with the furnisher of the information has been initiated. When the furnishing company provides their findings, we will send those results to you. We hope this resolves your concerns. If you have any additional questions, you may call 1-888-EQUIFAX ( XXXX ) or you may visit www.myequifax.com. With my Equifax, you can create an account to manage your security freeze, add or remove fraud alerts, and initiate credit file disputes. Additionally, you can access free Equifax credit reports and other products. '' I recently checked the status of my re-investigation request with Equifax and noticed that the reinvestigation was completed, and the accounts were allegedly ''VERIFIED '' and remain on my credit file. How can Equifax verify these alleged accounts, if the creditor has requested to remove these accounts? This is a major violation of my consumer protection rights to ensure a complete and accurate credit history. I was also denied a home loan due to the negligence of Equifax in reporting inaccurate information on my credit file.

I've been working diligently to improve my credit, despite having difficulties with collection agencies in the past. I've done my research on debt collection practices and how to manage my personal finances better. I've been saving for quite some time to pay off my accounts and finally did.

The collection agencies in question have not removed the accounts from my credit report yet the rest being damaged because of it. They informed me that they would stop reporting the accounts but haven't.
