Date Received: 2022-05-27

Issue: False statements or representation

Subissue: Attempted to collect wrong amount

Consumer Complaint: I opened a XXXX XXXX credit card in XX/XX/XXXX. And was closed at credit Grantors request shortly after. The amount of the debt when account was closed was {$7300.00}. I have a copy on a credit report from XX/XX/XXXX that shows on record until XX/XX/XXXX. In XX/XX/XXXX the debt was purchased by Portfolio Recovery Associates who reported the debt amount of {$7300.00} and reset the date of the original debt. I disputed the debt multiple times with all three credit bureaus. XXXX deleted the account but XXXX and XXXX only tell me that they updated the account but no information shows to have been changed. I have also repeatedly requested documentation to validate the increase in the debt amount that occurred when the debt was purchased, years after the account was closed, but Portfolio Recovery Associates has failed to provide any requested documentation.

Issue: Communication tactics

Subissue: Frequent or repeated calls

Consumer Complaint: They called me multiple times a week and during work hours, I have asked them to not call during work hours and they still continue to. They called me at XXXX XX/XX/22 I asked them to send written conformation of the debt they said they have sent them. I have not received them. They said something about sueing but the call was spotty so it was breaking up. The caller then got very defensive with me when I asked them to send another written conformation. She continued to say that they have and I asked them to send it again and then I was hung up on.
