Not only was PRA reporting the incident but the Big Three XXXX XXXX have been reporting the inaccuracy and claiming its been verified for multiple years now. Its time they are all brought to justice.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed

Subissue: Debt is not yours

Consumer Complaint: Despite XXXX XXXX clearing me of the debt, and stating they asked credit bureaus to seize all reporting, Portfolio recovery still negatively impacts my credit report, and harassing me for the debt I never owed in first place. Their dispute tactics is horrible, After they requested all the evidence which i sent they lie and claim I've never sent anything so I'm gon na attach it to this report, So it's clearly sent.

Issue: Threatened to contact someone or share information improperly

Subissue: Talked to a third-party about your debt

Consumer Complaint: This Portfolio recovery account popped up on my credit report one day. I dont know this company and I have never done business with this company. They constantly change the account and move it around to start the dates over. As a business owner this a a problem to me because I do not know these people and they refuse to stop segregating my credit report.

Date Received: 2022-01-20

Issue: Took or threatened to take negative or legal action

Subissue: Threatened to sue you for very old debt

Consumer Complaint: On or about XX/XX/2022 I received several letters from local attorneys notifying me that Portfolio Recovery Associates LLC was going to sue me in court over a debt of {$6300.00}. I have never been contacted by Portfolio Recovery Associates LLC either by mail or by phone about this debt. I have no idea what this debt is as I have no unpaid debts of this amount. I have never been provided any proof of the validity of this debt. This is obviously a case of identity theft that Portfolio Recovery Associates LLC is a partner to. If Portfolio Recovery Associates LLC is claiming that this is a valid debt, I would like to see a copy of my application/agreement relating to this alleged debt clearly showing my legal and verifiable signature agreeing to the terms and accepting the agreement. I am confident that Portfolio Recovery Associates LLC will be unable to provide that or any other proof to me that this is a valid debt.
