Complaint narrative:
This was not sent by error or anyone other then myself, I am a consumer by law and my information was misused in a data breech ( XXXX ) now I have some account and items that are not 100 % accurate on my credit report. That was unauthorized use of my credit report. I wrote a letter about false information on my credit report, and more than 60 days later, I still haven't heard anything back. I think my complaint is being disregarded and that I'm being victimized of. It is precisely stated in Section 611 ( a ) that refusal to investigate these allegations within 30 days is cause for immediate removal of all those allegations from my credit report ; given that it has been more than 60 days, they should be promptly deleted. I demand that these accounts be terminated right away, or else I'll pursue you for the anguish you put upon my life. The XXXX data breach exposed my information well as, and it's feasible that it landed in the incorrect hands.

In XXXX, I had a car loan on a XXXX through Nicholas Financial. They increased my payments by at least a {$100.00} more a month.

The entire time I had that vehicle, there was nothing but issues with it. I had to replace brakes, tires, the fuel pump, rust spots, and much more than I can hardly remember. Now, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX, is claiming that I never made a court hearing in XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX back in XXXX ( I was living in PA and had never received any mail, emails, phone calls, etc. about a court hearing.

Company: Portfolio Recovery Associates, LLC
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
This letter is in response to a letter received by Portfolio Recovery Associates on XXXX XXXX, 2023. Apparently, XXXX XXXX has sold this account to them, a XXXX party interloper, and it is my belief this is a fraud. Since there is no signature on the documents they have sent me, who is accountable for this contract I am being offered? If they can state their claim & provide that contract I have with them whereas there is a wet ink signature from the Claimant & someone From the RESPONDENT, I would be happy to settle this alleged account. 
I requested VALIDATION and PROOF OF CLAIM made pursuant to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and Fair Credit Billing Act. 
XXXX respectfully requested that their offices provided XXXX with competent evidence as per the Declaration and Proof of Claim that I have any legal obligation to pay them the unsubstantiated alleged debt. 
Also, be informed that, for 3 years, their offices have been reporting non-validated information to the XXXX major XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX and XXXX prior to validation and proof of claim of the alleged debt, which I also believes constitutes fraud under both Federal and California XXXX XXXX. And also has caused me significant financial harm and denial of credit. 
Due to this fact, these negative marks found on Claimant 's credit reports by their company and I retain the right to explore options regarding action against them in accordance with Violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act as well as Violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, and United States Code TITLE XXXX, CHAPTER XXXX, Sec. XXXX. 
Portfolio Recovery Associates sent XXXX identical letters in response to previous CFPB complaints, XXXX on or about XX/XX/2023 and XXXX on XX/XX/2023, and not once did they provide Proof of Claim of the alleged debt. Therefore, the debt is considered to be invalid, and any documents that they sent me will be returned to them as refused for cause without dishonor upon proof of claim Their office never produced the required documentation in accordance with FTC guidelines and has taken actions which was and is detrimental to Claimants private commercial affairs and credit reports. These actions are a dishonor.

Portfolio Recover Associates failed to provide VALIDATION and PROOF OF CLAIM.; made a false representation of the character of the referenced alleged debt and, made a false representation of the legal status of the referenced alleged debt.
