Company: PORTFOLIO RECOVERY ASSOCIATES INC
State: KY
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: I do not know
Issue: Took or threatened to take negative or legal action
Sub-issue: Threatened or suggested your credit would be damaged

Complaint:
THIS IS NOT A DUPLICATE. Re : Complaint No. XXXX The response given to the last complaint is not valid because PRA is still harrassing me. I sent in multiple cease and desist notices however, in each response they are continually going unregarded. This is a violation of the FEDERAL LAW. And it appears that this company is practicing racketeering. 

I have sent this company multiple cease and desist notices and one multiple occurences this company has failed to comply which is a violation of federal law! This company is conducting deceptive business practices and I, a federally protected consumer, am suffering due to them extorting me and falsely furnishing inaccurate information on my consumer report. 

Since XXXX, PORTFOLIO RECOVERY has been ruining my reputation. As a result of PORTFOLIO RECOVERY illegally and unlawfully furnishing such negative reports to my consumer report, some of the following has occurred. 

Since XX/XX/XXXX, I have been XXXX  due to my consumer report ultimately being the cause of me not getting approved for the apartments I have applied to. This, in result, has caused me a great deal of stress and anxiety especially being a full time working mother that XXXX. The amount of added stress this has caused me has also caused my child to suffer due to me producing less XXXX XXXX to XXXX, per my medical doctors observation. PORTFOLIO RECOVERY has unlawfully broken several laws and I, the consumer, have been left to suffer. I cry myself to sleep every night hoping that my suffering in my life with a negative consumer report will soon be over one day soon. This issue has caused issues within my personal relationship with my partner and other family members as well. My parents and siblings have been approached and harassed at their own homes and recieved many harassing and threatening phone calls. These occurrences have left them feeling unsafe and threatened at their very own front door. These threatening and deceptive practices are causing arguments within my family and my personal life. 

The attached documents that PORTFOLIO RECOVERY submitted as a response to my original complaint do not show anything more than an application for credit. I do not see my wet signature on any of the documents provided. I also do not see where I am obligated to pay anything based off of the copy of the contract that was attached. I do see several discrepancies in this alleged contract which makes it NULL AND VOID. Pursuant to 15 USC 1605, the finance charge is defined as the sum of all charges. PORTFOLIO RECOVERY violated TILA. As a consumer, I am protected by the Truth In Lending Act that PORTFOLIO RECOVERY openly violated. 

This company is also in violation of the Gramm-Leach Bliley Act pursuant 15 USC 6801 . 

Please see the attached documents.

They in fact did not come from a 3rd party. l even called them to verify it was me and they still refused to process my disputes. I wasted money on mailing my disputes out. I sent personal information to verify my identity through mail, just for them to not thoroughly investigate.
