Consumer complaint received 2017-07-24
Product: Debt collection — Credit card debt
Issue: False statements or representation — Attempted to collect wrong amount
Company: PORTFOLIO RECOVERY ASSOCIATES INC

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX I sent a dispute letter to Portfolio Recovery Associates regarding an account with XXXX XXXX who is listed as the original creditor. Within the letter I requested validation of this debt by providing me with the original application and/or contract from XXXX XXXX that outlined the terms of fees, interest, etc. so that I could confirm that the dollar amount stated as being owed was in fact assessed from the original creditor and not the collection agency who is currently attempting to collect. I also asked if the contract/application from the original creditor could not be provided that they provide me with a copy of any agreement the collection agency has with me verifying that I agreed to pay them the debt of record and/or the original creditor. In addition, I also asked for them to verify the date the debt was acquired and also if it was assigned or purchased and to which credit bureaus the debt was being reported. I received none of this information from Portfolio Recovery Associates and upon contacting them via telephone on XX/XX/XXXX I was told by a supervisor that they do not have a contract or application on file or record from the original creditor and that even if they did they do not send this type of information to consumers which is a complete falsehood. In addition, I was informed by the same supervisor that this account was not assigned to them by the original creditor of record and was actually purchased and acquired in XXXX of XXXX. In my original letter to the collection agency I alerted them that in the event of noncompliance, I 'd reserve my right to file charges and/or complaints with appropriate county, state and federal authorities for violations of the FDCPA/FCRA. I feel my rights are being violated and there are some unethical practices and procedures being utilized as it pertains to my particular situation and I am in need of additional assistance. Your help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Complaint:
I have been dealing with this company for months, they refuse to lower or change my payment plan. I am very low income and I have been getting no where with them.

They are now threatening over a XXXX dollars by XXXX which is COMPLETELY out of my income bracket, I live with my dad due to my sufficently low income status and am on goverment based health care for low income. I am also attending school, as they are still requesting payment. I have faxed them forms again about this situation, which I will be attaching to this complaint. They have report this on my credit and I 'm now considered " delinquent '', I have went from a XXXX credit score down to a XXXX credit score. I do n't know how I am suppose to find a job to pay off my loans if I find a company that runs credit scores as a hiring descion process. I feel like Im at a dead end, I cant afford a lawyer, I dont know what to do.

Company: ProCollect, Inc.

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX I saw a 'collections ' on my credit report at XXXX XXXX for XXXX dollars from XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX This was unrecognized charge. I filed a dispute with XXXX. XXXX stated that the results of the dispute showed it was legitimate. 
XX/XX/XXXX I contacted ProCollect debt collections. They confirmed this charge under my social security number, yet could not provide a name associated with the account. They also FAILED to provide me a debt verification letter. The {$130.00} debt was assigned XX/XX/XXXX and I have NEVER received a debt verification letter. Furthermore, XXXX XXXX XXXX, the employee I talked to at ProCollect, stated that the debt had already been paid but could not provide any details as to how or who paid it. This was not me. I am VERY concerned about identity theft and immediately requested on Procollect 's website a debt verification, as instructed by XXXX XXXX. It has been a week and they have not gotten back to me. I am filing this complaint because of ProCollect 's FAILURE to provide an initial verification letter when the debt first posted, so that I could dispute its validity, and filing this complaint because now they still are FAILING to provide debt verification when I am ready to report identity theft to the authorities.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL

Complaint:
My Experian credit report shows increasing charges each month from SYNCB/PPC for delinquent payments for an account which I do not own. I opened an account with Pay Pal back in XXXX but was never able to get it to work. That is the only account I have ever opened with Pay Pal. When I spoke to XXXX, they said this account was opened in XXXX. That was NOT me. It has caused my excellent credit score to plummet. I contacted the number associated with this report and SYNCB/PPC and was told by multiple people that they didn't know what this was because I have a balance of XXXX  . I have filed a fraud alert with XXXX. I also contacted XXXX again yesterday and talked with a lady because now the XXXX report shows the the payment status is Charged off. The XXXX lady said that would also bring my credit score down. I am at my wits end. I have tried everything I know to resolve this issue. I have always maintained a excellent credit score until this mess started. I have also contacted my bank and asked them to check into what I needed to do. She has tried several avenues and has had no luck figuring this out. Please help!!!!!! Another thing that is very interesting about this is that I have never received a bill or a statement or any communications about these charges until it started showing up on my XXXX account.

Complaint:
Went to open a checking and Saving account on XX/XX/2021 at XXXX XXXX XXXX 
They ask for driver 's license and utility bill to verify your account/identity. We spoke, account was set up with at deposit and I left the office. About two weeks later, my reporting company that announces credit activity sent a hard credit inquiry by made by XXXX XXXX XXXX, this was done without my permission or consent. I called the company on or around XX/XX/XXXX and asked to speak with a Manager. The staff left a detailed message and the following day I spoke with XXXX XXXX the manager which acknowledge the pull without my consent and apologized, however did not know how to correct the unauthorized pull. I would have questioned why ( this is not a loan and 2 points of verification were given ) a credit score hard pull was needed and not open the checking/savings account if I knew. This was not an application for a loan/liability situation, just a situation for EFT or direct deposit were low liability is found. The rep XXXX XXXX did point out that they had many come for loans due to low rates. My questions then looking back is -- -does XXXX XXXX XXXX pull without consent or letting their clients/members their credit scores so then they can make a move in business and then " upsale '' so they can make money from the customer. This sneeky behavior should be investigated immediately as it # 1 Harms my credit score # 2makes a business move with the Credit Bureaus best interest not mind, I am aware of how to fix my credit and don't need you. If you care to help me, you would include me. # 3Removes consent by the customer The application form has no place were I need to sign or initial on.
