Product: Debt collection — Credit card debt
Issue: False statements or representation — Attempted to collect wrong amount
Company: Portfolio Recovery Associates, LLC
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint because Portfolio Recovery continues to attempt to collect a debt that I have disputed and they have failed to verify or validate despite multiple written requests. This violates the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). 

In addition, Portfolio Recovery is reporting a different amount to the credit bureaus than the amount they are attempting to collect from me. They are reporting to the credit bureaus that I allegedly owe {$790.00}, but in their recent correspondence attempting to collect the debt, they state the amount owed is {$420.00}. 

Furthermore, they have continued to send collection emails while the debt is in dispute and unverified. This is misleading, inaccurate, and constitutes unlawful collection activity.

I've identified some accounts on my credit report that are unfamiliar to me and were not authorized. These may have resulted from identity theft. Ive contacted you about this issue in the past and am now formally requesting that these accounts be deleted from my report as soon as possible. The stress caused by their presence is significant, especially since they dont reflect my financial habits or credit history. If we cant come to a resolution, Im willing to take legal action to protect my interests. These incorrect entries are standing in the way of major financial plans, such as homeownership and providing for my family. I hope this can be resolved without delay.

Complaint narrative:
My first problem with this finance company was a request that i had made asking for a payment arrangement changing my payment date to pay on my second pay period of the month, because they had it set to the pay period when i have my rent due. I called them to ask for this and they told me no they wouldnt do that. My second issue is that they came to reposess my vehicle before i was a month late so they never allowed the proper time to pay them i gave this company {$5800.00} dollars of my hard earned money for what it seems to me like a very expensive rental of the car. Grandview financial seems shady from the begining in my experience.
