Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: Portfolio Recovery Associates, LLC
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
Portfolio Recovery Associates is furnishing false information about an alleged debt that I do not owe. The company has reported payment activity that never occurred, including a reported payment in XX/XX/2022 that is completely fabricated. This false reporting began before I disputed the account and continued after my dispute, which means the company knowingly furnished inaccurate data and failed to correct it after receiving notice. 

I requested validation and proof of ownership of this alleged debt, and they did not provide it. Instead of proving the balance, they continued reporting a false payment history that artificially re-aged the debt and makes it appear more recent than it is. This directly violates FCRA 623 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) and FDCPA 807 ( 2 ) ( A ).

This account is not reporting on XXXX, but it continues to report derogatorily every month with XXXX  and XXXX. I am requesting removal because the information being furnished is inaccurate and unverifiable, and the company has continued reporting it even after dispute, which makes this willful noncompliance.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: HI

Complaint narrative:
am filing this complaint regarding several hard inquiries that appear on my credit report with Equifax. I do not recognize these inquiries and I did not authorize these companies to access my credit file. These inquiries are also not connected to any open or approved accounts in my name. 

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, a company must have a permissible purpose to pull my credit report. I am concerned that these inquiries were made without my permission, which would be a violation of FCRA 604 ( a ) ( 2 ).

The inquiries I am disputing include, but may not be limited to : XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/XXXX These companies are not currently extending me credit and I do not have active accounts with them. Only XXXX XXXX is associated with an active account, and I am not disputing that one. 

I am requesting that Equifax investigate these inquiries, confirm whether each one had a permissible purpose, and remove any inquiry that can not be verified as authorized.
