Complaint ID: 5342998

Date Received: 2022-03-20

Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Account information incorrect

Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/2022 I paid a balance to Portfolio Recovery Services to settle the account. The agency offered me a 20 % savings to pay the account and agreed to delete it from all three credit bureaus. I paid the {$360.00} and the company is now reporting the remainder as a debt and will not delete the account as stated in the agreement. I have attached proof of their offer. I am asking fpr the company to honor their offer as I was under the impression paying the reduced rate would clear the account from my credit reports.

Issue: Communication tactics

Subissue: Frequent or repeated calls

Consumer Complaint: Beginning on XX/XX/2002 including today XX/XX/2002 I have had 22 phone calls from PORTFOLIORECOV. Most calls show from CA, but also one each from TX, ID, IN, NJ, WI, KY and IL They have never left a message nor have I ever received anything written as to why they are calling. My son and I who live here have no unpaid overdue debt. I suspect fraud. All calls have been to my home phone that is a land line and some appear to be ROBO. I have listed all the calls including date, phone number city and state called from on a note pad, but I don't know that that will help in this complaint. I can send them, if needed.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed

Subissue: Debt was paid

Consumer Complaint: I contacted The President and CEO of Portfolio Recovery Associates LLC, via certified mail, twice in the past month. My mail is not being scanned as delivered and I have proof of sending it through USPS. I sent my complaint to the Attorney General of my state and PRALLC responded within 2 weeks. Now my letters are in limbo. I asked for debt validation and they sent me back invoices which isnt proof of indebtedness or obligation to repay a debt. Theyve also violated multiple FDCPA codes and Ive sent an Affidavit of Truth which still stands as fact as it was not challenged and even if it were, I have exhibits proving otherwise. I know my rights as a consumer and Im still waiting for verification/validation of the origins of this alleged debt.

Issue: False statements or representation

Subissue: Attempted to collect wrong amount

Consumer Complaint: I set up for full account payoff effective XX/XX/2022. I received confirmation via email that the collection company would complete my payoff as scheduled. When I went online today to confirm payoff of {$170.00} I found the firm paid off all but {$.00}. When I asked why they said they dont remove the final penny for 10 days. That would acquire interest when total payoff was confirmed for today, XX/XX/2022. There is also no available payment mechanism.
