Consumer complaint received 05/26/2017 about Debt collection (I do not know) with PORTFOLIO RECOVERY ASSOCIATES INC (KY).
Issue: Communication tactics
Sub-issue: Frequent or repeated calls

Complaint: I have been getting numerous calls from  a 3rd party  debt collector, calls coming from several different states, businesses that are required by Law to be registered with either t hat State/STATE Attorney general of the Secretary of State. The several number are l isted on my caller ID.  one call fo r for an alleged debt going back to  1998.  My understanding is th at Portfolio Recovery Associates, LLC, purchase alleged debt for pennies on the dollar from other vendors.Recover y of the full amount of alleged debt is then the basis of the recurring phone harassing calls. What I find as cause for the Constitutional complaint is that when I contacted the Attorney General or Secretary of State, neither Government or also traded as by company name  XXXX   XXXX   XXXX   XXXX     XXXX , represents The Public/electors. That both the Attorney General and Secretary of State are associates, corporate agents, not part of the FDIC  or Title 12 Ba nking industry, w ithin 28 USC 1332,  on an alleged debt that by statute should have been   discharged.
What I find is that the agents to/for Portfolio Recovery Associates, LLC, that are not registered to do business in the state in which the calls are made, interstate commerce, to my Kentucky phone numb  er, reverts back to a failure of the Government/elected office to perform a UCC Fiduciary Duty required of those offices, then failing to respond to 'Public Outrage ' is U CC perjury to the oath taken.  That  XXXX   XXXX   XXXX , has a Right, by failed action of both Attorney general and Secretary  of State, by statute enforced Congressional Act, Title 42 USC 1988 Private Attorney general Act. That damages/credit alleged by Portfolio Recovery Associates, LLC, is in fact applied to the signature ( s ) for the Public Office, reference 31 CFR 363.33, of  both Attorney General and Secretary of state related to originating phone numbers of agents that call/engage in interstate-commerce to my Kentucky address. Discharge of alleged debt is by signature to the Treasury   Direct account of DBA Attorney General and DBA Secretary of State. That 31 U.S.C. 3729 - U.S. Code - Unannotated Title 31. Money and Finance 3729. False claims, applies in these instances, as a 14th Amendment section 4 'Bounty on a Public Debt, x 3 for Civil RICO. that in this instance, both DBA, Attorney General and Secretary of State are associates to Portfolio Recovery Associates. LLC.
31 U.S.C. 3729 - U.S. Code - Unannotated Title 31. Money and Finance 3729. False claims, where both Government/DBA offices, allegedly only represent, Offices and Agents of the STATE, not the elector/general public. 31 CFR 363,33 is 28 USC 1343 Statute of the District of Columbia, 40 U.S. Code 5108 - Audit of private organizations Current through Pub.
