In late XXXX I discovered that Equifax was not pulling any of my data, offering the code NH for No Hit.

On XX/XX/XXXX I mailed them another letter with information including an ID and social security card.

I have no issues with XXXX or XXXX XXXX, but the issues with Equifax are preventing me from pursuing an apartment and moving forward in life.

I now have a collections request from True Accord saying I owe Affirm twice what Affirm says I owe them. 

I followed Affirms policy and Im being asked to pay for a product I never received nor was fully refunded.

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

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, I sent out a certified mail validation request to PORTFOLIO RECOVERY ASSOCIATES, LLC. I have yet to receive a validation on behalf of the account with any contract bearing my signature stating I would be responsible to pay any debt to Portfolio Recovery Associates, LLC or any company that they represent and whom I have no contract with for an alleged debt I do not owe. Instead I have received numerous debt collection attempts and itemized report statements as " proof '' that said debt has been validated from the " original creditor '' XXXX XXXX XXXX and which per FCRA/FDCPA does not constitute verification. 

Please note that on XX/XX/XXXX the CFPB released its Fair Debt Collection Practices Act Annual Report and it stated the following : The Bureau notes that one or more debt collectors continued collection activity despite not properly obtaining and mailing debt verification after a consumer exercised his or her 1692g rights. Specifically, the Bureau calls out the practice where debt collectors forwarded consumer debt validation requests to the relevant clients, who mailed responses directly to the consumers. 
Section 809 ( b ) of the FDCPA requires a debt collector, upon receipt of a written debt validation request from a consumer, to cease collection of the debt until IT ( meaning the collection agency ) obtains verification of the debt and mails it to the consumer. Examinations found that one or more debt collectors routinely failed to mail debt verifications before engaging in further collections activities.

Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage

Complaint:
My home was foreclosed XX/XX/2017 and subsequently sold at auction. I received a XXXX stating the balance of principle outstanding as XXXX and the fair market value as XXXX I also received a XXXX stating fair market value as XXXX and the amount of debt discharged as XXXX. I contacted the mortgage company and questioned the reason for both a XXXX and a XXXX being sent and asked for an itemization of the XXXX. I received a letter telling me to disregard the XXXX and an email with an attachment of the supposed itemization of the discharged debt. The itemization is convoluted and neither the positive column of amounts or the negative column or the difference thereof corresponds with any of the amounts in question or makes any sense. I am questioning the amount of debt being discharged.

Complaint:
To brief you about what is going on, I received my federal income tax return as a direct deposit into my Venmo account on XX/XX/XXXX  it was for over {$20000.00} leaving my account total at {$20000.00} on XX/XX/XXXX  Venmo froze my account & asked me to upload my government issued photo ID. I did just that. The next morning I received an auto generated email saying that my account could not be activated & that Venmo would hold my money for 180 days ( 6 months ) I was not able to spend nor transfer a single dollar from my account before my funds became frozen & in the email it said that I violated terms of use, I have called multiple times & spoke with supervisors about my funds, they all review the transaction on my account and tell me the same thing that they cant see any unusual activity on my account that would cause it to be frozen, let alone my funds to be held for 6 months. Those funds were deposited to me from a notarized XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX as you can see on my account. I have waited almost 2 moths to receive my funds, I have been gettin extensions on my rent & also bill payment & when I finally received the funds Venmo freezes my account and says its holding the funds for 6 months. Thats unfair to me as a consumer & totally unfair & unjust to me as a person. Every time I spoke with some one on the phone they tell me that the department that is handling my case does not take calls or direct emails, & when I receive an email it blatantly says not to respond because it wont be answered. Who am I supposed to speak to about my funds. It seems my money is being stolen from me by Venmo. They have not provided any details about a user violation that they claim took place on my account nor a clear line if communication about my funds they are being bullies. Please help me to get my funds. I have studied the terms and user agreement and as far as a direct deposit of a federal income tax return I have not violated anything. Its my same name XXXX social security # just like they stated in the user agreement. Before the deposit my account was fine now that funds have been deposited its frozen.

The original debt was over 13 years old, I dont know who these people are that have sent a wage garnishment to my job and now taking money from my check. I was not properly notified about this old debt and intent to garnish or even time to settle. So this was done improperly and unfair practice of a collector and debt that was old.
