Issue: Took or threatened to take negative or legal action

Subissue: Threatened or suggested your credit would be damaged

Consumer Complaint: I was contacted repeatedly by Portfolio Recovery Associates. They continued to threaten me about my credit, even after I told them to verify the debt. I continued to receive calls and it caused stress on my end. I really did not know what to do. This was back in 2018 and I thought it was legal what they were doing so I never complained. The times they reached out to me were XX/XX/2018, XX/XX/2018, & XX/XX/2018. I continued to try to get more information but I was met with bad attitudes and more threats. The issue was eventually taken care of because I felt like I was forced to pay them.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed

Subissue: Debt is not yours

Consumer Complaint: Portfolio Recovery Associates ( XXXX ) called looking to collect a debt from my now ex-wife. I have absolutely no debt so I have no doubt that the calls are not for me. They have called me from local numbers and the one listed above. I have told all 3 callers who I am and to remove me from the call list. Today was the 3rd call. I do not associate with my ex-wife at all. None of this debt is mine. The number they call me on is one I had gotten after the divorce. This has to stop.
