Portfolio Recovery Associates sued me in Colorado court without proper notice of a court date or verifying the credit card debt. They told me it was a valid debt and I had to pay and that their " litigation '' department had verified the debt. I ended up paying something like {$7500.00} to them since they garnished my wages and I just saw the CFPB article about Portfolio Recovery Associates illegal activities by XXXX so I want my {$7500.00} refunded.
