Consumer Narrative
I am a consumer, a natural person. My rights have been repeatedly violated by Portfolio Recovery XXXX, XXXX. I have been HARRASED REPEATEDLY by THEM especially after filing a CFPB complaint. I do not owe the alleged debt! I have sent them repeated letters and was even summons to court on XX/XX/XXXX which I attended. I told them that I do not owe the alleged debt to Lawyer XXXX XXXX who WAS Not cooperative at all and I was given another date to appear in court for XX/XX/XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX I received a letter from their XXXX Department stating that I did NOT APPEAR in court which is not TRUE which is a violation of U.S Code 1692e ( 10 ) this is a deceptive means to collect the alleged debt and a violation of 15 U.S. Code 1692e ( 5 ) they can not threaten me telling me I am in default when I was in court on XX/XX/XXXX! I am attaching both documents. THIS IS HARASSMENT according to 15 U.S. Code 1692d! This company has caused me nothing BUT Stress and has made me ILL. I have an XX/XX/XXXXXXXX and as a result of this abuse and unfair practices, I have had to get on medication after years of not being on any. Further, more I am alleging that the attorneys at Portfolio Recovery all private lawyers pursuant to 28 USC 3002 1 ( B ), I do not believe they are even authorized in accordance with section 3718 of Title 31 to conduct litigation for the collection of debts on behalf of the United States. If they are, I need them PROVE IT! I had to create a separate report because there is no option to add information for an existing case.
