Issue: Communication tactics

Subissue: Frequent or repeated calls

Consumer Complaint: XXXX is the name of the business based out of Virginia, yet I get calls every single day from around the U.S. These are not from their designated other locations and they use a different phone number every single time. You block it, they call you from another fake location. Starting from the most recent : XX/XX/XXXXXXXX XXXX, IL, XX/XX/XXXX XXXX, MA, XXXX XXXX, CA, XXXX XXXX Kentucky. They have called me from four different locations, four times in the past seven days. When you answer the phone, they very clearly are some scheme because they hang up after ten seconds of silence, every single time, and it is under the guise of attempting to collect debt if you ever call the number back, if it doesnt say the line is disconnected.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed

Subissue: Debt is not yours

Consumer Complaint: I DON'T REMEMBER ANY ALLEGED DEBT WITH PORTFOLIO RECOVERY ASSOCIATES LLC, IT SEEMS PORTFOLIO RECOVERY PRUCHASED A MASS PORTFOLIO FROM XXXX XXXX AND DID NOT DO THEIR RESEARCH OR VALIDATE THEIR PURCHASE. I STILL DONT SEE HOW IM RESPONSIBLE FOR AN ALLEGED DEBT FROM XX/XX/2017 BY THIER OWN RECORDS OF TRANS DATE. THAT WOULD MEAN THIS ALLEGED DEBT HAS A PAYMENT HISTORY OF AN EARLIER LAST DATE OF PAYMENT. THE STATUE OF LIMITATION ON CREDIT CARD DEBT IN GEORGIA IS 4 YEARS FROM THE DATE OF LAST PAYMENT WHICH WOULD PUT THIS CREDIT CARD AS TIME BARRED AND UNABLE TO SUE, UNCOLLECTIBLE. EVEN THOUGH A DOCUMENT WAS SENT TO A PRIOR COMPLAINT I FILED, I STILL DONOT SEE A PAYMENT HISTORY OR ANYTHNG PROVIDING MY ALLEGED PAYMENT HISTORY OF ALL PAYMENTS MADE AND THE LAST TIME A PAYMENT WAS MADE BEFORE DATE OF CHARGE OFF. ANY ONE CAN PUT A DEBT IN MY NAME AND ATTACH AN ACCOUNT NUMBER. UNDER THE FCRA, FTC, FDCPA A PURCHASED ACCOUNT BY A THIRD PARTY MUST PROVIDE PROOF OF PAYMENT TRANSACTIONS FROM THE BEGINNING OF PAYMENTS AND THE LAST PAYMENT DATE BEFORE DATE OF CHARGE OFF TO TRULY IDENTIFY THE VALIDITY OF DEBT AND THE TRUE BALANCE OF AN ACCOUNT. IF PORTFOLIO RECOVERY CAN NOT PROVIDE PROOF OF MY SIGNATURE AND MY ALLEGED PRIOR PAYMENTS TO XXXX XXXX THEN THEY MUST DISCHARGE THIS MATTER BECAUSE THE PROOF HAS NOT BEEN PROVIDED. ALSO PORTFOLIO RECOVERY IS NOT LICENSED IN THE STATE OF GEORGIA TO COLLECT ANY DEBTS.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed

Subissue: Debt is not yours

Consumer Complaint: PORTFOLIO RECOVERY, LLC ( " Portfolio Recovery '' ) is in violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( " FDCPA '' ) 15 U.S.C. 1692f ( 1 ). The company is also engaging in racketeering activity and defamation of character. 1692f ( 1 ) prohibits a collection agency from making any attempts to collect on a debt unless expressed in the original agreement. The credit card agreement, statements, bill of sale and any testimony are general. The company does not possess any account-level documents that would identify me as the debtor. Portfolio Recovery is attempting to collect an alleged debt in the amount of {$570.00}. There is no contract that gives the company the authority to do this. Therefore they are in violation of the FDCPA, spreading false information about me to third parties and attempting to swindle me out of money. These crimes are held criminally liable under Title 18 with a fine of up to {$500000.00} and 20 years jail time. To be clear, I am disputing this debt and invoking my right to obtain documentary evidence, in accordance with 15 U.S.C. 44 for the records as described in IRS Publication 583 for Account # : XXXX. In the event that Portfolio Recovery does not have the documentary evidence I demand they immediately cease collection, zero out the account and delete the debt from my consumer report. Failure to comply may result in legal action.
