Complaint:
Portfolio Recovery is a creditor company that says I owe three different quantities, {$1400.00}, {$1300.00}, and {$540.00}. I have previously contacted them stating that the amounts they are trying to collect are not correct and have even tried to settle the accounts by making agreeing to make small payments. They agreed to settle my accounts and lowering the amount, however, the amount did not go down after making two payments. Now I've been not only harassed by an outrageous amount of calls, but my family and friends have also received calls from this creditor. Now it has escalated to them threatening to sue and garnish my wages and have also shared my credit information with other fraudulent companies threatening to sue in their name.

XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX Credit Card through XXXX XXXXl On XX/XX/XXXX, I called XXXX XXXX to initiate a name change request and to report that I had found out my identity had been compromised. I spoke with a customer representative would initiated the name change request and mailed a form to my existing address. She then transferred me to a fraud specialist who said that can put an alert on the account to verify additional information before making changes to the card. There was no mention of never to be able to make changes to my account. I would I received the form to make the name change and mailed it along with the copy of drivers license as requested. 

I then received a letter from XXXX saying that the can not make the name change and to contact customer service. I also tried to log on to make a payment and my online banking had been turned off. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I called XXXX and spoke with multiple customer service representatives. After an hour long call, the Fraud rep stated that no changes could be made to my personal information due the compromise of my social security number I reported. However, I was free to continue to use the card under my existing name. I asked how that made any sense and what would happen if I was requested to prove identity at a business while using. I asked how I was to receive a statement as my online banking was turned off. I also asked how I would be able to change my address, if I were to move and had a balance as the alert on the account would not allow for any changes. She was kind and apologized but stated there was nothing that could be done because the " higher-ups '' put the restriction on my account. I asked if there was a phone or a way to contact the " higher-ups '' and was told no. 

I have been a customer since XXXX. I was able to provide a correct answer to identity and card verification. I also have used the same cell phone number for the same number of years. I own the home I live at and could provide a deed and other pertinent records to document my name. Also, even with the fraud, my credit was still in good standing with no high balances or late payments ( even on the two fraudulent cards that were reporting as I was able to resolve quickly with those creditors ). I can show that I have been a customer who has made all payments and utilizes the account as needed. 

I also spoke with the XXXX, IL XXXX Illinois XXXX to see if they would be able to submit a request or provide me with more information to see if there was a way around the " alert '' that was placed on the account.

Frustrated I decided to contacted the Bankruptcy Court and they informed me that they do not provide anyone with a debtors full social security number, and they do not provide any credit bureau any information relating to any bankruptcy cases.

The creditor and the credit bureaus have not mailed me a notarized contract with my signature on it within their 30-day allotted timeframe allowed by the FCRA ( Fair Credit Reporting Act ) to validate the inquiry, and thus the inquiry must be immediately deemed invalid, fraudulent, and not my liability, and it is hereby illegal for the credit bureaus and creditors to report this inquiry on my credit report because the inquiry was not validated within the required 30-day timeframe, and so the solution to my complaint is for the credit bureaus and for the creditor to immediately delete this inquiry from my credit report.

Complaint:
XXXXXXXX XXXX has a duplicate account being posted on all 3 of my bureaus with the account # XXXX, reporting multiple late payments on my credit report that is severely hurting my credit score against all 3 bureaus where I am unable to qualify or get a mortgage loan. The accounts are paid off and were always in good standing to my best knowledge however not only is it a duplicate account one has 3 late payments on a secured credit card and one has 4 late payments on another. Now according to 1666b. 
Timing of payments ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date.

( b ) Grace period If an open end consumer credit plan provides a time period within which an obligor may repay any portion of the credit extended without incurring an additional finance charge, such additional finance charge may not be imposed with respect to such portion of the credit extended for the billing cycle of which such period is a part, unless a statement which includes the amount upon which the finance charge for the period is based was mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the date specified in the statement by which payment must be made in order to avoid imposition of that finance charge.

This site is fraudulent in my opinion, not allowing it to be used at all on purpose. This is the 21st century and not everyone feels comfortable with sending highly sensitive documents ( ie. Social Security, Identification cards, etc ) in the mail. Mail has been proven to be tampered with, stolen, inconsistent, and so on. We need to be allowed and assisted to submit our important documents DIRECTLY to these agencies via FAX and/or UPLOAD ONLINE.
