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: I have sent numerous certified mailings to XXXX and XXXX attempting to get the information for XXXX XXXX and Portfolio Recovery to be corrected or removed. After almost two years of disputing it is still reporting incorrectly on both reports! XXXX does not list either account, thankfully. Attached at the two most recent credit reports, as you can see both have incorrect information. I have a security freeze on all credit reports due to this ongoing issue.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Account status incorrect

Consumer Complaint: This is the second time I had to do this with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX just sold old information to another credit collection agency which is called Portfolio Recovery Association this summer. I was unaware of this until I got a notification from XXXX. This resulted a decrease in my credit score AGAIN by XXXX points on XXXX. I filed numerous disputes a few years ago and finally it was taken care of and removed from my credit report. XXXX XXXX even sent me a letter they were going to remove it last time after speaking with them on the phone also verifying I had a XXXX balance. The following attachments show disputed results from last time. I want this removed from my credit report again, all of them because I am at a XXXX balance and I havent used this card in 3 years. If there is anything reflecting a balance it is not me. It is fraud.

Issue: Written notification about debt

Subissue: Didn't receive enough information to verify debt

Consumer Complaint: Received numerous phone calls from Portfolio Recovery Associates but never a voicemail with any information. Emailed company for verification and never heard back. Finally received written notification of supposed debt owed but stated that original debtor were two other companies before it was sold to PRA. No detailed information from previous companies, no dates of when account was opened, closed, payment record or credit limits, etc. Very vague. XXXX credit report shows collection from PRA but also does not have any detailed information to determine debt is legit. I do not recognize this account as being mine.

Issue: Communication tactics

Subissue: Frequent or repeated calls

Consumer Complaint: I get at least XXXX calls per a day from portfolio recovery services. Sometimes they create static on the phone call when I answer that hurts my ear. They never let me ask any questions, if I start to ask a question they hang up. I want them to stop calling me and only contact me in writing.
