Consumer Narrative
Portfolio Collection agency has XXXXXXXX XXXX as a debt of {$5700.00}, opened on XX/XX/XXXX. The amount owed is wrong. The balance on XX/XX/XXXX was XXXX, I made a payment on XX/XX/XXXX for {$150.00} the last payment made. The balance due on XX/XX/XXXX was {$4700.00}. The statement on XX/XX/XXXX was {$5600.00} ( an additional {$970.00} in 2 months ). My credit report shows a balance of {$5700.00}. I believe the balance due is incorrect. I am requesting that Portfolio provide the correct information on this debt. My last payment was on XX/XX/XXXX but the collection account was not opened until XX/XX/XXXX, according to my credit report. The statute of limitations is 4 months of late payments, the account should have been sent to collections on XX/XX/XXXX, but this was not done until XX/XX/XXXX - 1 year and 1 month past the statute of limitations, and additional time to be on my credit report. This company has improperly and inaccurately reported a debt on my credit report.
