Consumer complaint received 2024-12-17 00:00:00
Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: Portfolio Recovery Associates, LLC
State: NV

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting a formal complaint regarding Portfolio Recovery Associates ( PRA ) and their failure to properly validate a debt they are attempting to collect, as required under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). Despite my repeated requests for debt validation, PRA has failed to provide the necessary documentation to substantiate the debt reported on my credit file.

Account Information : Collection Agency : Portfolio Recovery Associates ( PRA ) Account Number : UNKNOWN Amount of Debt : {$850.00} and {$2000.00} Nature of the Complaint : A few months back, I submitted a request for debt validation to Portfolio Recovery Associates ( PRA ) in accordance with Section 809 of the FDCPA, which requires that a debt collector provide verification of a debt within 30 days of a request. However, to date, I have not received any supporting documentation from PRA to validate the debt or confirm that it belongs to me.

The documentation I requested includes, but is not limited to : The original signed agreement or contract. 
A detailed breakdown of the debt, including principal, interest, and fees.

Proof that Portfolio Recovery Associates has the legal right to collect on this debt.

Under the FDCPA, I am entitled to receive this information. PRA has failed to meet its legal obligations, and as a result, the collection continues to appear on my credit report, which I believe constitutes a violation of my rights under the law.

Requested Actions : I respectfully request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigate this issue and take appropriate action against Portfolio Recovery Associates for failing to validate this debt in compliance with the FDCPA.

I request that this account be removed from my credit report until Portfolio Recovery Associates provides the required validation of the debt.

If Portfolio Recovery Associates is unable to provide the necessary documentation, I request that the account be permanently removed from my credit file.

I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and look forward to your assistance in resolving this issue. Please confirm receipt of this complaint and keep me updated on the progress of your investigation.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: IN

Complaint narrative:
My account with XXXX XXXX TRANSUNION was never late! I have had exceptional payment history all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment.

This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family!

I demand the late payment to be updated.

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law!

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date. 


XXXX XXXX TRANSUNION Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided.

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer!
