Consumer Narrative
To whom it may concern, On XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX issued check # XXXX to me to mail and pay off the balance of {$880.00} for my XXXX account ( managed by XXXX XXXX ). On XXXX, I mailed check # XXXX to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX to pay off the balance however, on XXXX the check was deposited by Portfolio Recovery Associates Inc ( Portfolio Recovery Associates LLC ) to a Misc Deposits account, despite I have never had an account with Portfolio Recovery Associates Inc ( Portfolio Recovery Associates LLC ). After opening XXXX disputes with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( Disputes opened on XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX ), I was assured the disputes were denied and the payment were not applied to my XXXX account, due to the check not being cashed by XXXX XXXX but being cashed by Portfolio Recovery Associates Inc ( Portfolio Recovery Associates LLC ) ( Please see attached check for confirmation ). To resolve this matter, I am requesting Portfolio Recovery Associates Inc ( Portfolio Recovery Associates LLC ), issue a check to pay the balance of {$880.00}, in addition to all interests and fees that have occurred from the time Portfolio Recovery Associates Inc ( Portfolio Recovery Associates LLC ) deposited the check and collected debts without a reasonable basis, until the resolution of this complaint. Thank you for your assistance in advance!
