Company: Portfolio Recovery Associates, LLC

Complaint narrative:
Over the summer I was checking my credit report and noticed a collection company on it and didn't see it on my full report until I opened the tab and scrolled down past inquires. It was not under collections and find that misrepresenting of my credit report. I don't recall ever getting a notice they were trying to collect the debt is my first issue, second issue is they are showing a past due balance and I did not know that a collection company could show up as a creditor vs collection, and I believe it looks as though they are misleading and reporting errors on my credit report dragging down my score with a past due balance of {$5800.00} and XXXX days late from XX/XX/XXXX. I do not have any obilgations with a collection compand never entered into an agreement with them directly. How are they able to put such negative info on my credit report that is full of errors and incomplete data? such as past due balance {$5800.00} and high credit amount of {$5800.00}, showing XXXX plus days late from XX/XX/XXXX?
