Consumer complaint received 2021-12-21
Product: Debt collection — Credit card debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: PORTFOLIO RECOVERY ASSOCIATES INC (MI)

To whom it may concern, I am writing this letter to file a complaint against Portfolio Recovery Associates, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, VA XXXX. I mailed this company a debt validation letter on XX/XX/2021, through certified mail. It was delivered on XX/XX/2021. Tracking # XXXX. In my letter, I requested that Portfolio Recovery Associates send me several things including written proof to validate that this is my account. Included in this proof would be a signed agreement showing my knowledge/ownership of the accounts in question and the agreement to pay the amounts in question. Portfolio Recovery Associates failed to produce a copy of any signed agreements with my signature showing I am under contract to pay for this debt nor that this debt is mine. Instead, I only received copies of bills and a letter from Portfolio Recovery Associates and XXXX XXXX which is not enough to validate the debt in question. Portfolio Recovery Associates failed to include everything that I requested in my letter therefore they failed to validate the debt. Because Portfolio Recovery Associates has failed to supply me with all the documentation that I requested, I am asking to have this collection be removed from all three credit bureaus and cease all collection activities immediately. 

Thank you

This complaint is not a duplicate of a complaint already received because it is a complaint yet to be answered. I am complaining because I have yet to receive what I have been requesting from Experian and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX  ). I am contesting the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX trade line on my credit report. A car was wrongfully purchased in my name and was fraudulent. I can prove this but need two items ; 1 ) a copy of the permissible permission and application used to process the loan and 2 ) a dated copy of the credit report issued to XXXX. I will then be able to prove the loan was fraudulent. I am continually sent the attached application but it is the wrong application and irrelevant because the application is undated, incomplete, and even states incomplete applications will not be processed. Therefore, I need the completed and dated application that was processed for the loan on my report and a dated copy of my credit report to prove the loan was fraudulent. I have yet to receive either.

Upon reviewing my updates, the incorrect information was still found in my reports which I believe has been taken care of due to the written appeals I sent. The last letter sent to Equifax was XX/XX/XXXX, but no response was ever received from them to date. Thus, their action has violated the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 USC Sections 1681i, which states that continued reports of the unverified information without any proofs provided, within the time allowed by law, is not authorized. Here is the list of accounts that are still reporting on my Credit Reports : XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX

In the peak of XXXX, while I was in the hospital, I had fallen behind on payments with Comenity bank. I made a payment to get caught up. What I was never told was that my card had already been cancelled. My card had expired and I called to order a new one, I was told my account was no longer active. 

I have also pointed out to them that they are reporting my account incorrectly, and therefore, should be removed per FCRA regulations. On the attachments, you will see that Comenity Bank actually removed all positive payment history except for the two months in the middle of COVID. You will also notice I went from no payment history, to 90 days late in XXXX XXXX, to 60 days late in XXXX. 

The removal of positive payment history and only showing negative payments are not helping. Also, you can not go from not late to 90 days late. Furthermore, the deception I received when paying the card caused my date of first delinquency to get reset. 

At one point, Comenity was also reporting negative payments, collections at the same time as XXXX, which is also a FCRA violation. 

Finally, XXXX XXXX, whom Comenity sold my debt to during COVID, I have a payment agreement in place with, and I will be done with that arrangement in XXXX ( Just a payment due this month and XXXX left ). 

With all of this information, I would request that Comenity remove this tradeline from reporting agencies due to the numerous factors listed above.

I am disappointed to discover that the credit reporting agencies did not amend my credit record or totally remove the fraudulent items. In my most recent correspondence with the credit bureaus, dated XX/XX/2022, I demanded that they produce evidence supporting their assertions that the items I am contesting actually belonged to me. The Credit Bureaus still hadn't sent me any proper proof after a month had already elapsed. I find it aggravating that the credit bureaus have refused my requests, violated section 605b of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and have continued to record the disputed items without the necessary justification. Let me remind the credit bureaus that they are required by FCRA section 605b to delete any items and information that were obtained as a consequence of identity theft and were listed on an ID THEFT REPORT. I'm inclined to file a lawsuit against the credit bureaus to compel them to update my credit report. I'm hoping that by filing this complaint with the CFPB, the credit bureaus would act right away and entirely delete the disputed items from my credit report.

This is XXXX XXXX once again and I am submitting this CFPB Complaint to request to the Credit reporting Agencies to remove the fraudulent accounts and information off of my Credit File in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act section 605b. I recently received an updated copy of my credit report and was shocked to find that there are still several accounts that I did not open and have no knowledge of and yet being reported on my Credit File. The accounts in question are as follows : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, OH, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, OH, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX OH, XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX, OH, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Unpaid Balance {$0.00} XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Unpaid Balance {$0.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX Unpaid Balance {$0.00} XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Unpaid Balance {$0.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Unpaid Balance {$0.00} XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Unpaid Balance {$0.00} XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Unpaid Balance {$0.00} XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Unpaid Balance {$0.00} XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/XXXX XXXX, XXXX XX/XX/XXXX. I can assure you that I did not open these accounts or authorize anyone else to do so on my behalf. I believe that this is a case of identity theft and I am taking steps to report this to the authorities. If the Credit Bureaus believe that the disputed accounts and information belong to me, I require the Credit Bureaus to send me any copy of proof of verification they may find during their investigation to prove that the disputed accounts belong to me. I strongly believe that the disputed accounts were results of the theft of my identity and must not be included on my Credit File.

After receiving a copy of my report, I saw some UNVERIFIABLE information that on my personal profile, I noticed that there were CHARGE OFF accounts on my credit report. This is disappointing because I have been paying XXXX to get a report every month and I have been disputing fraud accounts on my credit report all this time, as well as this incorrect information on my personal profile but still youre not taking any actions. One of your staff told me to write a letter and attach a copy of the identity theft report ( FTC report # : XXXX and XXXX ). I have never with these accounts listed below, so please help me remove these charge offs, including this incorrect information from my personal profile.
