CFPB Orders Repeat Offender Portfolio Recovery Associates to Pay More Than $24 Million for Continued Illegal Debt Collection Practices and Consumer Reporting Violations
March 23, 2023
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) took action today against Portfolio Recovery Associates, one of the largest debt collectors in the nation, for violating a 2015 CFPB order and engaging in other violations of law. The CFPB filed a proposed order today that, if entered by the court, would require Portfolio Recovery Associates to pay more than $12 million to consumers harmed by its illegal debt collection practices, in addition to a $12 million penalty that would be deposited into the CFPB’s victims relief fund. Portfolio Recovery Associates violated the 2015 order by collecting on unsubstantiated debt, collecting on debt without providing required documentation and disclosures to consumers, suing or threatening legal action against consumers without offering or possessing required documentation, and suing to collect on debt outside the statute of limitations. Portfolio Recovery Associates also failed to properly investigate and resolve consumer disputes about the company’s credit reporting. Today’s action is one of many actions the CFPB has recently taken to hold repeat offenders accountable.

Denise D. LaneWe engaged Compliance Alliance nearly four years ago to assist in managing the many new regulations and continuous changes to existing regulations. The tools C/A offered at that time were excellent and just continue to get better! We find the policy templates easy to customize, which is a tremendous help. Several employees at our bank utilize the online chat feature which is a GREAT tool! C/A’s representatives are experts, and will immediately respond to our request for information. If they are in chat with another client, they will even let you know, so you are not left wondering if they have received your request to chat. I have absolutely nothing negative to say about Compliance Alliance … GREAT resource in all areas of regulatory compliance!”

Laurie GoodlockCompliance Alliance is a great fit for Farmers State Bank, a 70M bank in mid-Michigan. As the Chief Marketing Officer, I’m constantly developing new marketing pieces for the bank and Compliance Alliance is always right there with me keeping my promotional concepts up-to-date with the latest regulatory requirements. I can email my ideas directly to Compliance Alliance knowing that I’ll have a response the next day! This gives me the peace of mind I need to focus on our campaigns and other programs while not getting bogged down with regulatory worries. highly recommend a partnership with Compliance Alliance.”

Jason CarrollThe chat feature’s quick turn-around time is what separates C/A from other compliance professionals. Not only is the response quick, in our experience, it is very detailed. And to have the transcript from the chat emailed for future reference—that has been very beneficial on many occasion. My compliance officers love the chat. Personally, I recall a time when in a meeting, our president had a question I could not answer. I logged into a chat session while the meeting was happening, got an answer, and was able to respond in minutes. I couldn’t do that with any other service.”
