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

I demand the late payment reported in 60 days to be removed.

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.

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

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

Company: Portfolio Recovery Associates, LLC
State: MO

Complaint narrative:
Dear Consumer Protection Bureau, I am writing to formally lodge a complaint against Portfolio Recovery Associates , LLC, regarding their repeated and harassing behavior toward me. Over the past few months, they have called me over XXXX times. However, every time I attempted to answer, they would immediately hang up, leaving me without any opportunity to resolve the situation or understand the purpose of their calls. 

I repeatedly attempted to inquire about what was going on, but each time I did, they would disconnect the call without providing any explanation. This ongoing harassment has caused me significant stress and frustration. 

To make matters worse, after these incessant and unproductive calls, Portfolio Recovery Associates proceeded to sue me, despite my credit already being in dispute. The account in question had been flagged as potentially linked to the dark web, and I had received a notice that it was used fraudulently by an unknown party. Despite this serious issue, Portfolio Recovery Associates continued their aggressive actions without investigating the validity of the debt. 

This situation has greatly affected my peace of mind, and I feel that their behavior is not only unprofessional but also a violation of fair debt collection practices. I respectfully request your assistance in investigating this matter and holding Portfolio Recovery Associates accountable for their harassment and unjust actions. 

Thank you for your time and attention to this complaint. Please let me know if you require any further information or documentation to assist in your investigation. 

Sincerely,

Company response to consumer: Closed with non-monetary relief
