Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: Took or threatened to take negative or legal action — Threatened to arrest you or take you to jail if you do not pay
Company: Portfolio Recovery Associates, LLC
State: KS

Complaint narrative:
Portfolio Recovery Associates Breach of Arbitration Clause : Based on information from my credit report, I identified the alleged original creditor. While I am unfamiliar with this account, I discovered through the CFPB database that the creditors agreement includes a binding arbitration clause. 


I am 100 % certain that I have not participated in any arbitration arrangements or mediations regarding this account. 


The debt collector refuses to provide the original contract containing the arbitration clause and has acted in bad faith by initiating collection and reporting activities in violation of the agreement. 

XXXX. 
Failure to Validate Debt ( FDCPA 1692g ( b ) ) : No valid documentation has been provided to establish the debt collectors legal right to collect. Validation requires : The original signed agreement identifying me as the debtor. 


A chain of title proving ownership transfer of the debt. 


Billing statements alone do not constitute lawful validation of a debt. Courts have consistently ruled that debt validation requires contractual evidence showing liability. ( See XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. 2001, which holds that a billing statement is insufficient validation as anyone could generate such a document without proving a legal obligation. ) XXXX. 
Lack of Debt Validation Notice ( FDCPA 1692g ( a ) ) : The debt collector failed to issue a validation notice within XXXX days of initial communication, depriving me of my right to dispute the debt. 

XXXX. 
Improper Credit Reporting ( FDCPA 1692g ( b ) & FCRA 1681s-2 ( b ) ) : The debt was reported to credit agencies without proper validation, violating FDCPA and FCRA requirements to ensure accuracy before reporting. 

XXXX. 
Failure to Respond ( Estoppel by Silence ) : The debt collectors failure to respond to lawful requests for validation bars further collection efforts. 







Billing statements are not valid debt validation. Proper validation requires the original signed agreement and proof of assignment, as billing statements can be fabricated using personal information. Without these documents, the debt collector can not prove their legal right to collect. Furthermore, the arbitration clause in the creditors agreement invalidates collection or reporting activities unless arbitration is pursued, which has not occurred, making these actions unlawful. 



Resolution Sought : I request the CFPB to take immediate action to compel the debt collector to provide the required documentation and ensure compliance with all applicable laws.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
Experian has failed to fulfill its legal obligation under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed information on my credit report, leaving inaccurate or unverifiable accounts unresolved. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) has recently filed a lawsuit against Experian, alleging systemic issues such as failing to forward consumer-provided evidence to furnishers, accepting unreliable responses, and failing to adequately notify consumers of dispute outcomes. These failures align with my experience, where Experian has neither corrected nor removed disputed items despite the evidence I provided, causing ongoing harm to my credit standing. I am requesting immediate corrective action to remove or amend the disputed accounts, as Experian 's inaction violates federal law and my rights as a consumer.
