Consumer Narrative
This complaint is regarding alleged reference number XXXX Since XX/XX/XXXX of this year I have been disputing and requesting validation based upon appropriate laws including but not limited to FDCPA, FCRA and California 's Fair Debt Buying Practices Act and Portfolio Recovery Associates , LLC grudgingly, notoriously, illegally and unethically violate the law and just kept sending the nonsense letter of original creditor that is proof of nothing. PRA must understand that the law is very clear and they are acting like a collection agency that is collecting for the original alleged creditor and keep sending XXXX statement without a bill of particulars whereas the law and definition of debt buyer and collection agency is very clear. PRA clearly claimed that they are a credit debt buyer and since PRA confirmed its position they are bound to comply with pertaining laws. They have violated FDCPA, California 's FDCPA and FCRA. PRA has reported a negative tradeline to my credit files without sending a notice to me that I could exercise my legal rights as a consumer. PRA has failed to provide documents based upon the FDCPA of California. PRA has reported that this account was opened on XX/XX/XXXX this is a fraudulent claim. PRA is Reading this alleged claim in clear violation of the law. PRA has received my demands via USPS ( Address Service Requested ) and fax numerous times. PRA is in clear violation of their settlement with CFPB dated XX/XX/XXXX signed by Sole Member Portfolio Recovery Associates , LLC. PRA claims that they are my creditor whereas the LEGAL definition of creditor is very clear and PRA is not a creditor in this case. I have never made any payments to PRA as it indicated in the definition of Creditor. I do not have contractual obligation to PRA and therefore PRA has failed to overcome the requirements of the laws. Your assistance in this matter is highly appreciated.
