Who is Portfolio Recovery Associates?
Portfolio Recovery Associates operates in the United States and the United Kingdom collecting and suing on charged off debt. Their website reports, “Cash collections of $1.1 billion” for year 2013. This company buys old debts by the thousands and settles most of them without going to trial. For full year 2013, Portfolio Recovery Associates invested a record $656.8 million in new portfolios. This is not a company you want to go up against unrepresented. They are sophisticated and have legal strategies that are not in the consumer’s best interest.

Portfolio Recovery Associates claims that you still owe money on debts that have been charged off and they are here to help you. Portfolio Recovery Associates claims to be managing the now charged off debt but the fact is, once the debt is charged off and sold, that debt belongs to the other company and the original creditor will not make a dime from your repayment of that debt.
