Issue: Took or threatened to take negative or legal action

Subissue: Threatened or suggested your credit would be damaged

Consumer Complaint: I have contacted Portfolio Recovery several times by certified mail ( with receipts ). This company continues to report negative collections to my credit report which is damaging my credit continuously. Portfolio Recovery tried to sue me in court for the collection of {$2800.00} / {$2800.00}, and failed to show up in court and the case was dismissed by the judge. Also, Portfolio Recovery has since then started reporting the false collection as 1 % paid on my credit report and updating this monthly. I HAVE NEVER PAID THIS COMPANY ANYTHING! This is causing a havoc to my lively hood and I would like this collection to be removed asap. Shame on this company for false reporting.
