Date Received: 2023-03-09

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed

Subissue: Debt was result of identity theft

Consumer Complaint: I became aware of this account when I was in college and pulled my credit report for a new apartment. That was the first time I reported this account as fraud and filed a dispute. I have also spoken with the original creditor both XXXX and XXXX to notify them that I did not open this account and it had to be some sort of fraud activity. That was also when I locked my credit report. Since then over the years I have disputed, and called numerous times to get this taken care of and resolved. Now I have been receiving numerous calls from debt collection numbers hassling me to pay these funds that I never received in the first place. I will now be taking this to litigation

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem

Subissue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Consumer Complaint: The last payment on the account # XXXX is more than 7 years and should have been deleted, but instead it is showing with incorrect " estimated month and year that this item will be removed : XX/XX/XXXX. '' In response to my previous complaint PRA stated that : Business records provided to PRA by XXXX at the time of our purchase verify that the account was opened on XX/XX/XXXX. However, my dispute was not about when the account was opened, but about when it was closed and the fact that that closure was more than 7 years ago and the fact that PRA is illegally reporting account that is too old to be reported. Please delete the account or provide evidence that the last payment was made less than 7 years ago.

Issue: Communication tactics

Subissue: Frequent or repeated calls

Consumer Complaint: Portfolio recovery, a debt collector keeps calling me multiple times a day every single day, when I block a number they call me from they call me from a different number. This has been going on for YEARS now. The debt started with XXXX XXXX, which I DID NOT take those credit cards out, my ex boyfriend did and ran them up {$4000.00} on each card. I contacted XXXX XXXX and explained it was fraud and they told me that there is nothing they can do I'm responsible for paying it, long story short they cut the debt in half, I paid around 55 % of the debt and I told them I am NOT paying anymore because I should of had to give them a cent in the first place. Now portfolio recovery will NOT stop harassing me! Something needs to be done or I will take legal action. Please help me.
