I did not receive a notice of the right to dispute the debt portfolio recovery associates claims that I owe. I have disputed the debt multiple times, recently over the last year, and have only received a notice saying that they have validated the debt and will not dispute it again. They completely left me " in the dark '' to take their word for it that the debt is valid, without providing any documentation. Where is my hard copy documentation? How did they validate a debt? Where is proof of the balance? Where is the payment date proof? During XXXX of my attempts to dispute the information via the credit bureaus, Portfolio Recovery Associates even sent me a letter offering me a settlement amount, DURING a dispute, and according to my credit report ( which they say is valid without providing proof ) is PAST the statute of limitations. After disputing the debt account with the original creditor listed, they removed the account from my credit, but portfolio recovery associates refuses to respond properly to my dispute efforts.
