Consumer complaint received 2025-01-23 00:00:00
Product: Debt collection — Credit card debt
Issue: False statements or representation — Impersonated attorney, law enforcement, or government official
Company: Portfolio Recovery Associates, LLC
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding an unauthorized debt that has been reported on my credit file without my permission, as well as the failure to correct and remove incorrect information despite my previous requests.

I recently reviewed my credit report and discovered that my collections and credit card debt is wrong. I did not authorize this debt, nor was I notified or provided any verification regarding its validity. Additionally, I have previously requested that this incorrect information be investigated and removed, yet it remains on my file, negatively affecting my credit score and financial standing. 

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I have the right to dispute inaccurate information on my credit report, and the reporting agency or creditor is required to investigate and correct any errors within 30 days. Since my concerns have not been addressed, I demand immediate action to : Provide proof that I authorized this debt, including any signed agreements or documentation. 
Remove any incorrect or unverified information from my credit file. 
Confirm in writing that the necessary corrections have been made. 
If this matter is not resolved promptly, I will have no choice but to escalate my complaint to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) and other relevant authorities. Please respond within [ reasonable timeframe, e.g., 15 days ] to confirm the steps taken to address my concerns. 

I have attached copies of relevant documents to support my claim. Should you require any further information, please contact me at [ your contact details ]. I appreciate your immediate attention to this matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX

Complaint narrative:
" The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence, which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system.

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for each account listed without my expressed written consent.

I looked at my consumer reports and noticed accounts I never gave anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum possible accuracy like the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly states. I did not provide written consent to report them. ''
