Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed

Subissue: Debt was result of identity theft

Consumer Complaint: To whom it may concern, I pulled a recent credit report XX/XX/XXXX that showed fraudulent accounts listed. I'm not sure how my credit was compromised. I can only assumed this happened back in XX/XX/XXXX based on the oldest account listed on my credit report. Somehow, someone was able to gain access to my personal credentials. I was instructed by the major credit bureaus to file a police report and to put a freeze on my credit reports.

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: This company has been calling my phone non-stop over the last several weeks, presumably about a debt to collect. They refuse to tell me specifically what the calls are about other than a personal business matter. I have made it VERY clear to them that we have no business if they cant provide further details. I want the harassment to stop. Calls always come while I am at work, wasting my time, and my customers time.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Account status incorrect

Consumer Complaint: I called Portfolio Recovery on XX/XX/2022, at XXXX est and spoke with XXXX XXXX We both were on a recorded line and I let her know I would be recording for my records. She told me that I would be able to get a pay for deletion for a validated debt with them. I researched and saw that portfolio recovery does in fact participate with pay for deletions, however, once I paid and held up my end of the bargain portfolio recovery only updated my file. I am filing this complaint and requesting this account be removed from my file as XXXX told me it would.
