Complaint narrative:
I do not know the actual legal name of the person contacting me, but they are leaving voicemails saying they will serve me at my job or home with court documents and if i am not home will deliver the papers to my supervisor. I do not authorize such actions and i do not agree with this debit. I have no signed contract with this company, and they have failed to provide me with a signed contract i have with them saying i agreed to this debit with their company directly. Portfolio Recovery refuses to VALIDATE this account completely. I received all documentation required validating this debt as legally requested. The right of subjugation does not exist for a stranger to the transaction.  73  AmJur  2nd, Section 90.  This company is required under the FCRA to have properly verified the accuracy of an account listed on my credit report. Where are the documents that you used to verify/validate these accounts? What is the name of the person in your company who verified these accounts? What documents did they use to verify them? Please provide me with the name of that individual, their business address, and telephone number .

As I am sure that you are well aware, current  Federal  case law states that,  Consumer Reporting Agenc ies bear grave responsibilities to ensure the accuracy of the accounts they report on and their responsibility must consist of something more than merely parroting information received from other sources. The Courts have also ordered that a "  Reinvestigation ' ' that merely shifts the burden back to the consumer and the credit grantor can not fulfill the obligations imposed by  1681 ( a ) ( 4  ). This is a request f or VALIDATION. Provi de me proof I have a signed contract with your company. Also provide every single debt statement i had through the course of the said account. Additionally, any reporting of this debt to the credit bureaus prior to allowing me to validate it is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, which can allow me to seek damages from a collection agency. I will go to the  State  Attorney General if this is not resolved.
