Consumer Narrative
I am submitting another complaint in response to false and misleading statements made by Portfolio Recovery Associates ( PRA ) in CFPB complaint # XXXX on XX/XX/2021. On XX/XX/2021 PRA responded and had stated they did not use " false and misleading means '' in regard to my address. I have attached copies of the envelopes they sent with the wrong addresses and the dates they were sent. Clearly a violation of the FDCPA. PRA also stated that they did not receive any correspondence from me which is also false. I also attached Certified mail receipts along with green receipts with signatures stating they were received multiple times. PRA also stated they notified credit reporting agencies that the debt was disputed but the debt remained on all three credit reporting agencies and is still reported which is a violation of FCRA 15 USC 1681a ( e ) PRA can not report any factual information. I did receive a response back from PRA on XX/XX/2021 stating PRA did an " investigation '' and sent documents to try and established the debt was valid but failed to provide the information that I had requested. According to 15 USC1681a ( e ) an investigation is interviews with friends and family of the consumer. AS of today PRA has not interviewed any of my friends of family.
