Portfolio Recovery Associates, Inc. Debt collection department,

Credit card Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed Debt is not mine Pennsylvania

Portfolio Recovery Associates sued me for a debt that was not mine. They said it was from a credit card I had in -/-/- and they were garnishing my wages inn -/-/- thru a court order I knew nothing about because they sent the summons to an address I had n't lived at since -/-/-. I tried to call them to let them know and they were extremely rude. I found an old credit report filed away that said I had that card and it was opened the same day as the one I was sued for but the account numbers did not match up. I called PFR and they said it was my debt and did not want to hear what I had to say and when I asked if they could give me proof they said the original debt collector ( - ) had the info. When I called - they asked me for the account number and my SS # and told me it did not match the account and I would have to call the 3rd party debt buyer. When I called PFR back with the findings they told me that they owned the debt and


at least tell me the account was not mine. I live in - and was sued in - courts because that is where I lived when the debt had originally occurred so I had to miss multiple days of work and try to figure it out and get help. I was able to get it vacated because I had prof that I did not live at the address the summons was sent to. They were ordered to pay me back all garnished wages. They did pay me back everything but $5.00 which I was tired of fighting with them and do not have the time to fight for it. I do have all documents needed to prove my case. During all of this I did keep calling them to see if they would listen and some were OK to me and others were down right rude. I actually had a guy that said I do n't pay my bills and he pulled up my credit profile and was naming off medical bills that were past due, told me I was cunning, and he did n't have time to talk to me because he had to talk to people that were actually willing to pay their bills.
