Company: PORTFOLIO RECOVERY ASSOCIATES INC
State: AZ

Complaint:
I have had no personal communication with this company other than an occasional letter. 
I had a collection account reported that was just recently removed from my reports due to it aging off. It was removed directly by the credit reporting agency a few weeks ago. Today I got an alert that a new collection has appeared. They didn't report it as a collection account. They reported it as a regular credit account although it says collection. 
Now they say it will remain until XXXX of XXXX. 
If it was removed from the report by the credit reporting agency as per the information given them by the collector, how can they turn around an report it again as a regular account? Probably because if they reported it as a collection it would have been caught and not allowed to be re-reported.

Complaint:
Since XXXX of 2018, my credit score has been wrongfully dropping every single month due to the wrong information on my XXXX loan. XXXX has been filing a delinquent account when I have been paying on time every single month. I have called them numerous times to fix the issue, and they said that there is no reason why my credit score shows that it is delinquent when it is not. I have disputed these incorrect claims every single month, as it is resolved after my dispute, but then incorrectly claimed as delinquent again after a couple of weeks. I have been given the runaround and feel that enough is enough. My wife and I are in the process of purchasing a house, and these incorrect claims have been hindering our chances of attaining a loan, which has become extremely frustrating and unfair. As a military member in the United States XXXX XXXX, this also becomes a huge ordeal because of the effects it has on my credit score that could ultimately jeopardize my security clearance. Please assist me in these incorrect and wrongful claims so that my wife and I could finally give our daughter the house we worked so hard to finally purchase. Thank you so much for your assistance, time and consideration.

Most recently I called and spent over an hour with no results, nobody knows where the information disputed is. In addition, the certified letter I sent with signature required, the representative checked the company 's directory and advised the person who signed the certified letter return receipt is not in the employee rooster. 
Both parties in concert have done anything to provide a fair, accurate, error free tradeline. I have exhausted all efforts and seek assistance enforcing my consumer rights.

Complaint:
This is my 4th attempt at trying to get this company to remove information that does not belong on my credit report.

Per USC 15 6802. ( A ) such financial institution clearly and conspicuously discloses to the consumer, in writing or in electronic form or other form permitted by the regulations prescribed under section 6804 of this title, that such information may be disclosed to such third party ; ( B ) the consumer is given the opportunity, before the time that such information is initially disclosed, to direct that such information not be disclosed to such third party ; and ( C ) the consumer is given an explanation of how the consumer can exercise that nondisclosure option.

Also this item was charged off with 1099-C which means it is a certificate of indebtedness and has been claimed as income. It is against the law to be reporting on my credit report with a balance or at all anymore. 

Also consider the privacy act of 1974.

Complaint:
NOT A DUPLICATE COMPLAINT XXXX  XXXX XXXX   has already conceded that for three years they were damaging the credit of my wife and I even though I had notified them of their mistake on multiple occasions. 

They only and finally took action on my account as it relates to the first of four errors I pointed out in my last complaint ; that they can not legally seek two forms of recovery for a single financial harm. To date, they have not even updated their credit reporting to adjust their mistake. This admission of violation of FCRA law carries a {$1000.00} statutory penalty. 

In electing the financial penalty based on a failure to provide sixty days notice amounting to roughly {$1600.00}, the total amount they now claim we owe is still three times their actual financial damages. I believe XXXX XXXX re-rented my unit on XXXX, which would make their actual damages roughly {$640.00}. Seeking to collect financial recovery in a contract in excess of actual damages is recognized as a " penalty in contracting '' and is barred by federal law, as I referenced in my previous complaint. 

Included in the charges are roughly {$300.00} for alleged physical damages to the property including cleaning and painting the unit. Under Colorado law, the burden of proof for keeping a security deposit against actual damages lies with the landlord, but XXXX XXXX has provided no evidence of any damages. As such, my security deposit was improperly withheld and though I have lost my chance at treble recovery under statute, I am still owed that {$250.00} by law. 

The {$500.00} liquidated damages charge is the only legitimate portion of this debt and I have ALWAYS been willing to pay this amount, but XXXX XXXX and their collections agent Nation Credit Systems, INC have insisted on collecting only the inflated false amount. 

In a Colorado Court of Law I am legally entitled to {$750.00} from XXXX  XXXX XXXX for furnishing an pursuing a false debt, and improperly withholding my security deposit, against the {$500.00} I rightfully owe them. Their admittance of fault in my last complaint and lack of proof of damages shall serve as my evidence.

American Credit acceptance has stated that my vehicle has been charged off and due to this IRS has stated that I had a cancellation of debt in the amount of {$9300.00} and this amount was included on my tax return as income when my tax return was audited and cause me to owe {$3400.00} to the IRS. The vehicle in question was repossessed and auctioned off on XX/XX/2022. The proceeds of {$8000.00} went towards the loan amount which brought my balance to {$6800.00} and they are still billing me for this amount. Irs informed me to contact ACA to get a statement that states that the cancellation of debt was sent in error. I called them in XX/XX/2022 and the agent stated that the charges were not written off and no debt was cancelled. I reached out again on XXXX and the agent states they sent the account to a third party ( XXXX XXXX ) to collect the balance remaining. of {$6800.00} since the vehicle was sold on XX/XX/2022 and no debt was cancelled.
