Product: Debt collection — Credit card debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was result of identity theft
Company: PORTFOLIO RECOVERY ASSOCIATES INC (GA)

In XXXX I begin receiving notices that an account of mine had been sent to a debt collection company. I learned it spawned from a XXXX  account I had reported to have had fraudulent activity back in XXXX. After reporting the fraud in XXXX, I thought that particular account was closed, being that I had a new XXXX account issued to me back then and have used it with no problem for years. I do not think XXXX would have allowed me to open and use a new account if I somehow owed them on a previous account. But the debt collection company Portfolio Recovery began and continued to pursue me for the debt they claim they bought from XXXX. I contacted XXXX they had no record of that account anymore but the customer service rep did not inform me if that was due to it being closed because of fraud or if they had sold it as a debt to this company. I filed several affidavits to Portfolio Recovery explaining the debt spawned from an account I reported to have fraudulent activity on and each time the affidavits were ignored. I even listed who was responsible for the fraud, which is an individual who has prior arrested for credit card fraud and identity theft charges. Portfolio Recovery continued to pursue me and I received a court summons. At the court date, I went before a judge and a representative from Portfolio Recovery and explained the situation. By this time 5 years had gone by and my credit score had been destroyed over this situation. In order to make it go away, so my credit score would improve I agreed to be put on a payment plan in return the debt would be wiped off my credit history apon completion of payments. They agreed. I was contacted by Portfolio Recovery the following day and given instructions for how to pay. The next month I went to create an account to begin making payments and in order to do that, needed information I did not have, like my account number Portfolio Recovery was suppose to give me. I attempted to contact Portfolio Recovery and left messages and sent emails never getting a response. I contacted the clerk of court in the county our court case had been in and explained the situation. She said she couldn't be of assistance but explained to me this was a tactic this company uses to in order to be able to garnish your wages later down the road instead of wait out the years of payments. I continued to contact Portfolio Recovery and received a message back that now in order to make payments I had to do it through an attorneys office. I contacted the attorneys office that represented Portfolio Recovery, received an automatic message on a voicemail about needing my parties extention number or my account number to make payments. I don't have any account number, thats the whole reason I couldn't login to start in the first place. A year goes by and I have had no communication, no notice of any further court dates, I've heard nothing from them.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: Resurgent Capital Services L.P. (CA)

The XXXX XXXX promise to remove all past due payments. If I agreed to pay off the account, they never remove the late payments, and it is hurting my credit. 
XXXX XXXX  is reporting account closed, charged off, sold to a collection agency and still reporting a past due balance which is incorrect and should be removed permanently off my record. This XXXX XXXX credit card is a XXXX credit card which I used for a XXXX. By XXXX XXXX, selling it off to a collection agency violates my Hyppa rights and both XXXX XXXX. Lvnv are in violation of my Hyppa rights. 
The company LVNV is the collections company that bought synchrony banks account and is reporting incorrect dates and amounts. I never gave them authorization to do anything. Therefore, they should be deleted off my report permanently. Thank you for your help with this situation. Hopefully we can get these inaccuracies permanently deleted off my report. Thank you.

Issue: Problem when making payments — Problem during payment process
Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL (GA)

Since XX/XX/2022, I have encountered persistent issues with the Auto-Pay mechanism failing to successfully process payments to Synchrony. Despite Synchrony 's claim that the discrepancies stem from erroneous banking information linked to the Auto-Pay system, I have consistently utilized the same banking details to manually remit payments without any complications. 

I would like to underscore that I have been a loyal customer of Synchrony for over eight years, maintaining a specific account without any record of late payments. It is both disconcerting and perplexing to witness the imposition of fees totaling {$300.00} and the arbitrary reduction of my credit limit in light of these Auto-Pay issues. The latter action has precipitated a detrimental effect on my credit score, which is particularly disheartening given my longstanding and unblemished history of timely payments.

On XX/XX/2023, I sent a letter regarding inaccurate and unknown things on my credit report. To this day, over 40 days later, I have not received a response yet. I feel like Im being taken advantage of and being ignored of my disputes. Section 611 ( a ), it is plainly stated that a failure to investigate these items within 30 days gives a reason to immediately remove those items from my credit report. It has been over 60 days, so they should be deleted promptly. I demand these accounts be deleted immediately or I will file for litigation due to the stress you caused me. My information was also impacted by the XXXX data breach and may have gotten into the hands of the wrong person.
