Subissue: Didn't receive notice of right to dispute

Consumer Complaint: Portfolio Recovery Associates , LLC you failed to give me a right to dispute in your initial notice which you say was XX/XX/XXXX, I received the initial XX/XX/XXXX, which I immediately sent a dispute letter asking for validation of the alleged debt, you replied back about 5 months later saying you found no evidence of my disputes, but I have two returns receipt that states otherwise, and both receipts signed by the same person. PRA LLC according to FDCPA you in violation of 15 usc 1692e ( 8 ) you failed to report to the CRA 'S that this account is UNDER DISPUTE, according to FDCPA PRA LLC was supposed to cease desist all collection activity act until the alleged account was validated you continued to report according to FDCPA you are in violation of 15usc 1681b ( 2 ) Permissible Purpose to the consumer to whom it relates, I'm the consumer to whom it relates Permissible means- written instructions from the consumer, permissible purpose means consent, without permissible purpose means- identity theft.

According to law debt means ( transaction ) what instrument or goods did you provide me for me to owe you this debt.

I need a contractual agreement between PRA LLC and I with my signature agreeing to this obligation. Also, it states on my consumer report I opened this account on XX/XX/XXXX but it says my first day of delinquency was XX/XX/XXXX so question to PRA LLC if I opened the account in XX/XX/XXXX How can my first day of delinquency be XX/XX/XXXX? That means this account was re-aged you are in violation of 623 ( a ) ( i ) ( a ) ( b ) false and misleading you are willing fully in non-compliance in the event you continue to report this that's a direct violation of the FDCPA for each violation I am subject to XXXX dollars.
