Complaint narrative:
XXXX dispute department XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Re : Dispute of Account # XXXX XXXX Dear XXXX, I am writing to dispute the accuracy of the information on my credit report. Specifically, I would like to dispute the account referenced as # XXXX, with the creditor XXXX. 

I believe that this account contains inaccurate information, and I request that you investigate and correct it in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), as well as other applicable laws. I am disputing this information based on the following reasons : 1. Violation of Privacy Rights : According to the FCRA, specifically 15 USC 1681 Section 602, I have the right to privacy. Section 604 of the same Act reinforces this right. The creditor in question has violated my privacy rights by reporting this account without my written instruction, which is expressly prohibited by these sections.

2. Late Payment Inaccuracies : Under 15 USC 1666b, a creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open consumer credit plan as late for any purpose. I believe that there may be inaccuracies in the reporting of late payments related to this account. 

I kindly request that you investigate the accuracy of this account, including the late payment reporting, and take the necessary actions to correct any inaccuracies in my credit report. 

I understand that you have a legal obligation to investigate this dispute under the FCRA. Please provide me with the results of your investigation and any actions taken within the required time frame. 

Please note that I am making the same dispute with Experian, and I expect a thorough investigation from both credit reporting agencies. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
During the course of this loan, communications from the company were being supplied via two different emails causing important notifications to be sent into my junk/spam folder and missed. 

The dates of my repayments were modified and set without my review or approval. 

In my attempt to pay a day before my payment was due, it would not allow me to as it was already processing. Another time it said I was passed due. Making it difficult to actually make payments. 

But the real and what I consider the biggest issue, is that when I was unable to make my payment because their system wouldnt allow me to ( and it would have been paid a day early ) ; it was after that they issued an email stating WE LEGALLY CAN NOT PULL THIS PAYMENT FROM THE ACCOUNT ON FILE. ( We can pull future payments. ) needing my authorization to withdraw the funds! An authorization I NEVER gave!! However, 2 days after that email they took the money out. When it was brought to their attention I was told they considered it a future payment, unfortunately it was not a future payment, it was their attempt to recover the previous payment I was unable to make due to their system. 

They violated their contract with me and have now destroyed my credit covering up their illegalities!!

Let alone, my information was in an XXXX & XXXX breach some months ago so I thought you all would protect my consumer report. I do not feel that my information is being protected. This is a defamation to my character, and this is a federal law violation. According to, 15 U.S.C. 1681 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( 2 ) ( 3 ) ( 4 ) my consumer report fairness and privacy has been violated. I am upset!! I am depending on the banking system and credit reporting agency to promote my privacy and fairness and they have not. This is not right and going against my federal consumer rights. This is causing emotional and mental stress as of now. Also, it is illegal these companies should NOT be furnisher people 's information to 3rd party companies, so this is illegal, neglect and fraud. I have already reported this to the local police department and Federal Trade Commission. These companies and the credit bureaus can get sued for these damages. This is negatively affecting my livelihood and putting me in a bad space. I feel your database is inaccurate and I am filing ligation against this if these items aren't removed immediately.

Company: Portfolio Recovery Associates, LLC
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
This is my second complaint against the unlawful acts of Portfolio Recovery Associates LLC. Please see CFPB Complaint XXXX XXXX. Portfolio Recovery Associates LLC provided false information to CFPB in its response stating that Portfolio Recovery Associates provided to me, all requested validation of the alleged debt. 
My first requested document was a copy of the original contract between XXXX XXXX and Synchrony Bank. Portfolio Recovery Associates LLC failed to provide the requested document but stated in its response that Portfolio Recovery Associates LLC had purchased an account AND contract. 
Portfolio Recovery was obligated to comply with the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( " FDCPA '' ) and the Texas Debt Collection Act ( " Texas Act '' ). The former makes it unlawful for a debt collector to " use any false, deceptive, or misleading representation or means in connection with the collection of any debt. '' 15 U.S.C. 1692e. That prohibition includes, among other things, communicating " credit information which is known or which should be known to be false, including the failure to communicate that a disputed debt is disputed. '' Id. 1692e ( 8 ). The Texas Act contains a parallel prohibition. See TEX. FIN. CODE 392.202 ( a ), 392.301 ( a ) ( Portfolio Recovery Associates LLC failed to communicate with consumer reporting credit agencies that this alleged debt was being disputed but instead, provided partial documentation which did not suffice what was requested from them. And as a result of Portfolio Recovery Associates violation of 15 USC 1692e ( 8 ), a credit application from myself to studentaid.gov for a Parent Plus Loan to help pay for my son 's college education, was denied solely based upon the Portfolio Recovery Associates collections account shown as a negative reporting on my consumer credit report. The FTC and FCRA encourages fair reporting to reporting agencies but Portfolio has denied me of any fairness through violations. 
Recently, Portfolio filed a lawsuit against me alleging that I, XXXX XXXX, owed a debt to them. Attached to the lawsuit is documentation which supposedly supports the alleged owed debt. Portfolio Recovery Associates LLC provided a Bill of Sale which does not include any alleged account information supposedly belonging to XXXX XXXX. 
As a consumer, I am fully aware of the courts most recent decision of the CFPB XX/XX/XXXX lawsuit filed against Portfolio Recovery Associates for their violations against the 2015 Order, the CFPA, FDCPA, and the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and its implementing Regulation V. 
Portfolio Recovery Associates have continued with these violations in spite of the final judgement results of the lawsuit and I want to make sure CFPB is fully aware of it.
