Company: PORTFOLIO RECOVERY ASSOCIATES INC
State: CA
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Credit card debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt was result of identity theft

Complaint:
Portfolio is making unauthorized access to my credit report in violation of the FCRA A thief used my Identity and social security number XXXX to obtain credit that Portfolio Recovery Associates now owns therefore any and all letters that XXXX sent to my attention prior to 2022 was not received by me because it was mailed to the identity thieves whose addresses were used to open those fraudulent accounts at XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX KY XXXX. The records that XXXX has purchased do not reflect a contract to pay signed by me, the contracts to pay were only signed by the identity thieves who stole my identity to open said accounts that are now owned by Portfolio Recovery Associates using my social security number XXXX. A debt collector only has permissible purpose to obtain a consumer 's credit report if they have active collection authority. FCRA 604 ( a ) ( 3 ) ( A ). Because the debts owned by Portfolio Recovery Associates using my social security number XXXX are all as a result of identity theft and fraud that means Portfolio Recovery Associates do not have a permissible purpose to obtain my credit report. On XX/XX/2022 Portfolio Recovery Associates provided me information to relay to them that I am a victim of identity theft. I emailed XXXX a copy of a FTC Identity Theft Report on XX/XX/2022. 
The ONLY way I became aware of Portfolio Recovery Associates is because their name is listed on my credit report as they are making many credit inquiries even though they have no legally permissible purposes and I am again notifying them to immediately cease accessing my credit report. The FCRA requires that a party requesting a credit report must provide one or more of the permissible purposes set forth under FCRA 604 if the consumer has not provided express authorization to the CRA for the debt collector to obtain a credit report. Since there are no AUTHORIZED unpaid debts for which Portfolio Recovery Associates has active collection authority, then they lack permissible purpose, and their inquiries are a violation of the FCRA. On XX/XX/2022 I have again disputed the inquiries via CFPB and directly to Portfolio Recovery Associates via email at XXXX and have advised Portfolio Recovery Associates that they have no active collection authority and any and all documents in their possession were not signed contracts by me nor authorized by me and in fact were a result of identity theft/fraud. Portfolio Recovery Associates can not refute that I am a victim of identity fraud/theft. Portfolio Recovery Associates is knowingly continuing to violate FCRA by accessing my credit reports.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account status incorrect

Complaint:
I have formally filed a dispute with XXXX and with NetCredit. I have sent NetCredit screenshots of the disputed balance and asked for a manager respond letting me know what day and time we could speak by phone to review the account with me by phone. The company had someone call when I was not prepared and they did not call back. I simply asked them to call back when I was not driving and in front of my paperwork. I continue to receive blanket statements that are erroneous about an extra payment that I did not have to make, which they split to pay themselves interest and some toward principal. I revoked the payment learning that they would not apply the entire amount to principal, and when I did they added the amount in total back into principal balance. This increases my principal balance owed to be more than it was before I made the additional payment when it should have returned to the original principal amount before the regular and additional payments were made on XX/XX/XXXXXXXX XXXX 

Until this company resolves this matter, my account is under DISPUTE AND SHOULD NOT BE BEING REPORTED TO XXXX, XXXX OR XXXX AT ALL. Additionally, I am only past due, one payment and they are showing I'm past due two payments.

Complaint:
Despite multiple attempts, I have been unable to resolve the issue of fraudulent inquiries appearing on my consumer report. These inquiries are not associated with me in any way, and I bear no responsibility for them. Their presence has caused significant mental and financial distress. As a victim of identity theft, I have no alternative but to consider legal action if this matter is not appropriately addressed. These inaccurate and fraudulent items on my consumer report have hindered my ability to purchase my dream house and provide for my family 's needs. The impact on my financial well-being has been substantial. For your reference, I have attached a copy of the letter I previously sent to the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), which outlines this issue and seeks resolution.

Complaint:
****This will probably be your MOST MAJOR case out of all your investigations and this should be elevated to the highest levels at CFPB. 

The synopsis is this : The credit reporting agencies are committing a fraud on the public AND must be investigated by CFPB and this issue must be disclosed to Congress. The credit reporting agencies are selling credit products to the public and providing FALSE credit scores paid for by consumers, yet, at the same time, these same credit reporting agencies are providing a completely different product to lending institutions which list completely different credit scores. So, bottom line, the credit reporting agencies are providing two sets of credit scores - one for the public and one for business. There should ONLY BE ONE uniform credit score. The question becomes, which credit scores are real and which are fake? Can the credit bureaus sell fake information and pass it off as real?

Sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Complaint:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act gives me the opportunity to dispute any information on my credit report that I believe is inaccurate. This law requires that all data included in a consumer 's file be documented and validated before it can go live for use by creditors, so I take this seriously! The allegations of delinquency and derogatoriness against me are false, and I will fight back with all my strength! Your report 's accuracy is crucial. The allegations you list don't meet federal or state requirements for reporting, so they can't be confirmed. I challenge this claim because it lacks compliance with basic reporting standards which would make me feel more confident in what's being said. You're required to maintain and report data with complete accuracy and compliance. You must not report any claims that you know should comply with regulations. We need to make sure all of your claims are accurate and reported in the correct format, which is required by law ( FCRA ) and reporting standards like METRO 2. So please take care with this! However, I request evidence that shows why my accounts are considered to be in a negative state. The proof of a permissible purpose for the inquiry or account within my report must be included. This letter serves as notice that you're not doing your job properly. If this issue isn't resolved immediately, there could be serious consequences, so I'm giving you 30 days from now ( the date of delivery ) to hopefully get everything sorted out and correct itself with no need for intervention or escalation! I would also like to receive physical proof of your actions and my updated credit report. The listed claims appear to be inaccurate. 
Please provide accurate and verified information for each claim, as the allegations are not true or I'll delete them immediately if that is indeed the case! 
This is a formal complaint that you have ignored my previous request and failed to maintain reasonable procedures in your operations to assure maximum possible accuracy in the credit reports you publish. 
Under federal law, you had thirty ( 30 ) days to complete your investigation from the date you received my dispute. 
Credit reporting laws ensure that bureaus report only 100 % accurate credit information and every step must be taken to assure the information reported is completely accurate and correct. 
Here is a list of items that were sent in my initial dispute letter that now must be deleted from your database.
