Consumer Complaint: XXXX several calls in a day from various cities, and phone numbers. Stating if I dont pay I would potentially have my funds garnished.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed

Subissue: Debt is not yours

Consumer Complaint: Let me be clear : If Portfolio Recovery Associates , LLC does not comply with what i am demanding, i will receive legal counsel and Portfolio Recovery Associates , LLC will be held accountable to 15 U.S. Code 1692k. This is the final warning. I have done nothing but be patient and i have given Portfolio Recovery Associates , LLC time to fix their multiple mistakes. First Portfolio Recovery Associates , LLC has now broken a cease and desist violation 15 U.S. Code 1692c ( C ) as they have now sent me a letter in the mail regarding another alleged account. When i asked for a cease and desist that was for the whole company Portfolio Recovery Associates , LLC operates. My federal rights has been violated. Second as described in complaint ( XXXX ) by PRA : Because we purchased the account and contract XXXX XXXX XXXX had with XXXX XXXXXXXX to pay the balance due, no other contract between XXXX XXXX XXXX and PRA is required to validate the account ''. This information is nothing but hearsay as PRA has failed to provide ANY contract with my signature on this alleged account. PRA continues to make false or misleading representations about me as they have provided no legitimacy to their alleged claims. I demand to see this contract with my signature on this alleged account. If PRA cant provide this information I demand PRA to close this alleged account, cease collection activity, and not to report to ANY credit bureaus. Cease and desist.
