PRA has reported a negative tradeline to my credit files without sending a notice to me that I could exercise my legal rights as a consumer. PRA has failed to provide documents based upon the FDCPA of California. PRA has reported that this account was opened on XX/XX/XXXX this is a fraudulent claim. PRA is Reading this alleged claim in clear violation of the law. PRA has received my demands via USPS ( Address Service Requested ) and fax numerous times. PRA is in clear violation of their settlement with CFPB dated XX/XX/XXXX signed by Sole Member Portfolio Recovery Associates , LLC. PRA claims that they are my creditor whereas the LEGAL definition of creditor is very clear and PRA is not a creditor in this case. I have never made any payments to PRA as it indicated in the definition of Creditor. I do not have contractual obligation to PRA and therefore PRA has failed to overcome the requirements of the laws.
