Complaint narrative:
AMERICAS BIGGEST SCAM I am one of millions of American consumers who has been entwined into a scam by various collection agencies in America. Attached is a document known as a qualified written request or QWR. There are seven posted collections on this QWR, all with account numbers backed by copies of collections from Portfolio Recovery Associates LLC. On each of these collection notices it specifically states that Portfolio Recovery Associates LLC is the new owner of a debt or debts that were originally with another creditor. However, a fully completed QWR on each of these debts will prove that not only is Portfolio Recovery Associates LLC the new owner, but that any transfer would have been illegal unless said transfer came from a securitized trust agreement. All of these debts were sold off into a trust, and the QWR for each debt will prove so. Now Ill explain how this scam originated in the United Stated over the past year. On XX/XX/2017 a decision was handed down in the United States Supreme Court on a case called XXXX XXXX XXXX v. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. This 11-page decision comes right to the point on the application of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), the rights consumers should have under this act, and the tracking of new ownership. This decision left a window open for the debt collection agencies and their counterpart original creditors to pass off charged off debts without the proper documented trail. The decision states that a buyer of debt ( s ) can work outside the FDCPA protections guaranteed to consumers.

The problem is becoming a giant problem pertaining to trade rights for Americans who should be protected under FDCPA. Im making the claim that each and every one of these collection has perpetuated a fraudulent activity that should be beyond a civil complaint, but more criminal in nature.

Portfolio Recovery Associates LLC has never acquired these debts legally. There was no tracking of the debts from originality to a securitized trust, and from a trust with multiple signatures to Portfolio Recovery Associates LLC. This process is not only fraudulent, but a process that has caused me great damage to my personal credit history. This agency is now doing this process to virtually millions of Americans amounting to hundreds of millions of dollars in fraudulent collections.

PORTFOLIO RECOVER ASSOCIATES LLC HAS NO SUBMITTED PROOP OF OWNERSHIP!

A COPY OF THE XXXX v. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. IS ATTACHED!

I DEMAND A FULL HISTORY OF OWNERSHIP BASED ON A QWR!

I DEMAND THE PURGE OF MY FILES FROM PORTFOLIO RECOVERY ASSOCIATES LLC.

TO EACH CREDIT REPORTING AGENCY, XXXX, XXXX AND XXXX XXXX   RESPECTIVELY : A scam is being presented to each credit reporting agency in millions of cases. The Federal Trade Commission agreed years ago that the debt collection business is broken, and now, because of a loosely held Supreme Court decision, the debt collection industry has gone off the charts on illegal activity of the transfer of trade for personal credit matters. Each of these violations where proof of ownership is not sustained is a serious breech of an implied agreement between the collection agencies and the credit bureaus through the subscriber agreement between the parties. Your credit reporting agency needs to investigate this abusive practice and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) must initiate a serious investigation on this abusive practice. My files should be purged permanently as the fraud has already been committed, and I am subject to my rights to sue for damages.

Company response to consumer: Closed with explanation
