By early XX/XX/XXXX, I had relocated to XXXX XXXX due to my job and signed a lease for my permanent residence in XXXX XXXX ( see attached lease copy ). So I was not at my address to receive any notices XXXX sent, in addition, I never even received the XXXX XXXX card, and was not even aware of its existence.

I immediately called XXXX who referred me to XXXX XXXX XXXX, with whom I paid the account in full. I have sent letters to XXXX XXXX and filed a complaint against them with the BBB ( complaint ID XXXX ) and XXXX XXXX responded saying " Unfortunately, we are unable to purchase XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Credit Card account from Portfolio Recovery Associates ( PRA ) because the balance has already been paid in full. We have forwarded his concerns to PRA and have requested PRA delete the trade line from XXXX XXXX XXXX credit bureau files. '' last XX/XX/XXXX.

Provident Funding claims to have sent numerous notices, however the mailing address is not correct and therefore the notices were not received.
