Portfolio Recovery Associates - they have been calling me and I do n't know what this is in reference to or if it is even legal. As I read through the article in the XXXX XXXX about the CFPB, I see thatPortfolio Recovery Associates is mentioned : " Last week, the bureau announced a crackdown on the nation 's XXXX largest debt buyers -- companies that purchase uncollected debt for pennies on the dollar and then try to squeeze payments from consumers by threatening lawsuits and damage to credit ratings. XXXX of the companies, XXXX XXXX XXXX, is based in XXXX XXXX. The other, Portfolio Recovery Associates, has its headquarters in XXXX, XXXX '' I would really appreciate it if this could be checked into for me. Thank you so much.
