Portfolio Recovery services collected a debt that substantially more then original debt. Portfolio Recovery then pressed a lawsuit in the - - Court Illinois. To avoid a judgement being placed on my credit report, I paid the " settlement '' stated by Portfolio Recovery Services as the only viable option. They stated that the conversation was recorded for mine and their protection. After i was given that notice, I asked - employees of Portfolio Recorvery Services if the judement was still to take place or if was to appear in court.- employees told me I WILL NOT have a judgement and WILL NOT have to appear in court. After making my first payment. Portfolio Recovery services sent notice with an increased debt amount. I called and was informed that information was incorrect. After completing my second final payment ( the agreed upon settlement ) my debt was to be cleared with a judgment in court being placed. Less then 10 days after my final i was mailed a document from the - - court house that there was a judgement placed against me and will be notified of method of payment, whether it will be wage garnishments. - ... AFTER I WAS TOLD THAT NO OTHER ACTION ON MY PART WAS TO BE NEEDED. Portfolio Recovery will not return my repeated attempts to contact them. Judgements like these will further destroy my already deteriorating credit.
