Consumer complaint received 2025-06-17 00:00:00
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: Portfolio Recovery Associates, LLC
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
This is a formal response to Portfolio Recoverys reply to CFPB Complaint # XXXX. 

In my original complaint, I stated that the alleged original creditor could not confirm this debt. Portfolio Recovery has now further validated that concern by admitting that the balance at the time of purchase was {$5000.00}, yet the balance currently being reported on my credit report is {$5000.00}. This discrepancy in balance raises serious concerns and supports my claim that this debt is not verifiable or accurate. If the amount you claim to have purchased the debt for does not match what you are furnishing to the credit bureaus, it demonstrates falsification or manipulation of account information, in direct violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

Additionally, your response states that due to our customers having made that dispute with a consumer reporting agency, we are not required to provide validation. This is factually incorrect. I submitted a direct dispute to your company, not just through a credit bureau, which under 15 U.S.C. 1692g of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), requires you as a debt buyer to provide full validation of the debt. You failed to do so. You did not provide a signed agreement, billing history, itemization of the debt, or chain of title documentation showing lawful assignment from the original creditor. 

Furthermore, I stated that this is not my account, yet you failed to remove it or suspend reporting during your investigation which violates your duties under both the FCRA and FDCPA. 

I am now demanding immediate removal of this account ( Account # : XXXX * * * * ) from all consumer reporting agencies. If this account is not deleted within 15 days, I will proceed with filing for monetary relief and legal action under both federal and state consumer protection laws. 

All future communication regarding this matter should be handled through the CFPB portal to maintain a clear paper trail.

Complaint narrative:
I have been working with Landing Point for several years in an effort to repay my debt. Despite my consistent efforts, it feels as though there is no clear path to fully paying it off. I have reached out to the company multiple times to inquire about the possibility of closing the account and continuing repayment in order to avoid the ongoing accumulation of daily interest fees. Unfortunately, I was informed that this is not an option under their policies. Eventually, the burden of making payments with no foreseeable end became unsustainable for me.
