Issue: Communication tactics

Subissue: You told them to stop contacting you, but they keep trying

Consumer Complaint: This company has been calling me since XXXX of XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX I answered and asked them to stop contacting me. They have contacted me from 11 different states as well as at least 23 different phone numbers. I have asked now 8 times for them to stop contacting me. They now just got an unlisted number and refuses to tell me what company they were calling from. I did some research and found out it is Portfolio Recovery Services that number is ( XXXX ) XXXX. This was today, XX/XX/XXXX. So over the past year they have continued to call even after I've asked them to stop many times.

Issue: Improper use of your report

Subissue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Consumer Complaint: I received a copy of my credit report with the intention of trying to improve my credit and take care of my responsibilities and noticed a few accounts that I wanted a little more explanation on. I am not saying they are reporting right or wrong. I am just saying that I am not 100 percent sure if they are. I also read something called the Fair Credit Reporting Act where it said by law, I had rights to challenge anything I am not sure is accurate. Some of the people reporting things on me, I have never heard of which made me write to you all. Are you familiar with something called 15 U.S.C. Sec. 1681i ( a )? I heard that if you cant provide proof, these accounts must be deleted. Well I want these accounts deleted if they are not 100 percent right and correct. So, could you please check on these and get back with me? I saw on a Credit Site and Board where this lawyer said you have 30 days to complete this investigation. Please investigate the following accounts and remove them if anything is missing or not correct on them.

Issue: Written notification about debt

Subissue: Didn't receive enough information to verify debt

Consumer Complaint: A collection company " Portfolio Recovery Associates '' has illegally " re-aged '' a debt to XXXX and is inaccurately reporting the debt to XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX. I've repeatedly disputed the " age of first delinquency '' with the company and reporting agencies. The collection company merely replies that the information is accurate. The only result is a note attached to the collection in my credit report stating " Dispute resolved, customer disagrees. '' The collection company has yet to provide the " date of first delinquency '' to the reporting agencies. My consumer protection attorney advised me to file this complaint and contact the company before proceding further.
