Portfolio Recovery Associates: Apropo of Bailouts

"Reputed to be more humane in their collection?" They have recently accused my husband of hiding from a credit card debt of almost $2,000 from 1998 for an account he never had. He never opened a credit card in his name until 3 years ago. Now, we are being harassed and threatened by Portfolio Recovery Associates saying, "We will ruin you, until you pay!" According to PRA, they have been mailing collection notices to our home address since 2000; our address did not exist until 2006 when the subdivision was built. This has been a nightmare and I would hope that any reputable and ethical business person would not invest in this company. It is hard working people like my husband and I that are being taken advantage of by this company. For more complaints on PRA, Google “Portfolio Recovery Associates,” you will be amazed at the results.
