Company: PORTFOLIO RECOVERY ASSOCIATES INC (NM)

This debt that is trying to be collected is from the only creditor that would not work with me during COVID when I was unemployed. I requested a lower minimum and they refused. I tried to only electronically submit a lower amount and their system took the minimum no matter what. So I shut off auto-pay. They charged me tons of interest and late fees. They sent to a debt collector who sent me a letter with an apparent offer letter from the creditor to settle the amount which I never received from the creditor. I offered at this point to pay that amount and they refused. Today someone came to my house while I was at work and tried to serve papers and threatened a bench warrant and jail time. My partner was home and I watched on the ring camera.

I've obtained a copy of my consumer report on the date of XX/XX/year> that is reporting numerous inaccurate negative accounts. this has not only damaged my right to extend credit, but it has made me loose hope and trust within the banking system. I have been denied for credit cards and home loans because of this. Not only has my character been defamed, but my mental and physical health have suffered greatly. There is no law that says a consumer reporting agency MUST furnish information about a consumer which is why congress made it very clear that you company has ASSUMED this VITAL role pursuant to 15 USC 1681 ( a ) ( 3 ). Also, your company failed to be fair and respect my right to privacy according to 15 USC 1681 ( a ) ( 4 ).

I am requesting valid proof and documentation that these negative items where investigated fairly and properly. Also please provide me with the system and details your company uses to determine if transactions took place or not. you company is in violation of several federal laws including the responsibility you have to protect my privacy.
