Company: PORTFOLIO RECOVERY ASSOCIATES INC
State: TX
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Credit card debt
Issue: Communication tactics
Sub-issue: Frequent or repeated calls

Complaint:
Portfolio Recovery Associates has been harassing me about a credit card debt that is about 10 years or older. The debt doesn't even show up on my credit report anymore and the first thing they say when I answer is legally they can't do anything to collect the debt and can not sue me as the statute of limitations has passed. Then they proceed to say that morally I'm obligated to pay a debt I owe. This is just basic business at this point. I '' m not going to pay a debt that they have no legal recourse to collect and can't impact my credit history negatively.

This is XXXX XXXX and I am submitting this CFPB Complaint to dispute the fraudulent items listed on my credit report.

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

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

Therefore, I'm demanding to receive verifiable proof of the ( original accounting records & signed contract ) for the files of the accounts listed below. Your failure to positively verify the accounts has hurt my ability to obtain credit cards, a property rental, car loans, home loans, pass employment credit checks, utilities, etc. along with getting other basic livelihood necessities. 
Under the FCRA, unverified accounts that are not 100 % accurate must be deleted and removed.

Also, these negative accounts below may either be inaccurate, old, inaccurate data between bureaus, not updated, paid in full, paid, closed, paid out by insurance, double dipping collectors, charged off/written off taxes, settled, inaccurate addresses, {$0.00} collections open balances, permanent disabilities act discharge, identity theft, for profit school fraud loan discharge, fraudulent submissions by loan or collection companies, inaccurate phone numbers, inaccurate name spellings, etc.

Under the FCRA, unverified, fraudulent, invalid accounts must be removed and deleted. If you are unable to provide me with a copy of the verifiable and validated proof that you have on file within a 30-day calendar days from receiving this notice for the account listed then you must remove and delete the account from ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  ) credit reports. I demand the following negative accounts be verified or permanently deleted immediately. The law is very clear on the available remedy to me for violating Section. 617. Civil liability for negligent noncompliance, if you fail to comply with federal law.
