I am a victim of identity theft.

If you do not pay this debt, Portfolio Recovery Associates , LLC may continue to report it to the credit reporting agencies as unpaid for as long as the law permits this reporting.

Complaint narrative:
The glaring absence of tangible evidence validating its accuracy, along with the dissemination of unsubstantiated information, represents a clear breach of the legal framework delineated in 15 USC 1681i ( 7 ). This regulatory violation is not only disheartening but also frustrating, given the imperative for compliance.

Complaint narrative:
I want to emphasize that the inclusion of erroneously reported late payment remarks on my accounts not only raises concerns but also constitutes a clear breach of the regulations outlined in the 15 USC 1666. This statute, which is part of the Fair Credit Billing Act, specifically safeguards consumers from unjust billing practices and requires accurate reporting of payment histories. Each payment linked to these accounts has been diligently and promptly made within the designated timeframes. Therefore, any deviation from this precise reporting not only undermines my financial integrity but also violates the legal protections afforded under this statute. It is imperative to rectify this situation promptly to ensure compliance with the law and uphold the rights of consumers.
