Consumer Complaint: They call me daily while I'm at work, told me to pay a certain amount ( over $ XXXX ), when original amount I'm not even sure of ... they kept saying I needed to make payments before account went further in debt. I told them my situation, and that I couldn't pay even {$50.00} a month, being a single mom going through divorce and not even able to pay kids daycare or gas in car to get to work, l9et alone my ex husband refusing to help with child support, rent gettin raised XXXX, I owed my son 's school from last summer breaks still and we are getting ready for another summer break ... and They never mentioned anything about the ability to dispute just that's its attempt to collect a debti only that I owed over XXXX. I mentioned I was at work, that I had to g and to call later, and they rushed me on phone, told me that if I paid them {$50.00} a month my debt would go away after 12 months and that was the best they could offer me and that if I didn't accept, it could very well get higher. I askedf they would send that in writing, they said yes and I'd get it in the mail within that month ( couple weeks ) to verify and essentially lock in the agreement. I didn't know I had the option to dispute the amount. I never received a letter with payoff charge or dispute factors. They still call me, every day when I've asked them to not call me between XXXX and without fail, they call me between XXXX daily while I'm at work. My boss pays my cell phone bill. Every time my phone rings at work, he looks at me as if he's going to revoke that amenity. I don't get personal calls during work hours. Only this creditor calls me. And they won't give me any more options anymore. I asked them again about that offer and said they didn't know what I was referring to They won't stop calling during my work hours. I've never been in credit card debt and never knew I could ask for amounts or info on creditors or original amounts. This company didn't offer than info when I asked them when I was very confused about this debt and if it could be settled due to my extreme situation. They were reluctant to offer or settle and I still have yet to see them follow through, when they offered me that {$50.00} a month for 12 months back in XXXX. They also call me on random numbers when I attempted to block their number due to them harassing during work hours. I don't even know who the initial debtor is. Or the original amount.they apparently don't

Subissue: Debt is not yours
Consumer Complaint: Portfolio is reporting a debt that can not be verified as mine. I have asked this company to provide details of previous payments and original contract showing my signature which they have failed to respond to and or provide to verify the debt. I sent the credit bureaus a letter on XX/XX/XXXX, and the information was never verified, and I was never sent the proof of anything. They are reporting 2 accounts FALSELY on my credit report causing severe damage to my credit and finances. I will also be in touch with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX to fight this and continue to pursue damages if this is not removed immediately. Portfolio also made an ILLEGAL attempt at reaging an account and reporting last activity as XXXX/XXXX/2023 which is FALSE. They are doing this as an illegal attempt to fraudulently continue to try to collect a debt they can not verify. I have never made any payments or taken any ownership of any collection with this company. Portfolio is in clear violation of The Fair Credit Reporting Act and is acting illegally as I have the right to an ACCURATE credit report and the burden of proof relies on the debt collector to verify to the person, they claim owns the debt and also report it CORRECTLY. They have never provided my original contract with this company, any payment records or any other proof of what this account is and that it is actually mine.

Consumer Complaint: According to the FCRA consumer law 15 U.S. code 1681 e Compliance procedures : section ( b ) Accuracy of Report : Whenever a consumer reporting agency prepares a consumer report it shall follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information concerning the individual about whom the report relates. The attached account PORTFOLIO RC ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) XXXX Fails to report accurate information. The account type reports as a collection with XXXX and XXXX, but as an " open account '' with XXXX. The date opened for this account reports as XX/XX/XXXX XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX XXXX, and XXXX. This account is reporting a " past due '' amount XXXX on XXXX which is illegal on a collection/charge off account. XXXX and XXXX are reporting nothing, which proves inaccuracy as well. This account is reporting a payment status of " late 120 days '' on XXXX which is illegal on a collection/charge off account. XXXX and XXXX are reporting collection/charge off which proves inaccuracy as well. This account is reporting a " last reported date '' XX/XX/XXXX on XXXX and XXXX but XX/XX/XXXX on XXXX which again proves inaccuracy. This account is reporting a " date last active '' of XX/XX/XXXX on XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX on XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX on XXXX which proves major inaccuracy. As you can confirm from the attached documents and what is stated here, there are NUMEROUS inaccuracies with this account which violates my rights as a consumer.
