My 1st question is: Discover Card Rewards where is the redemtion site? Thanks for any comment. 2nd question I got is.. They've called 4 times since receiving the letter on the 21st. 2x yesterday, 2x today. Not automated either. Each time they leave a message and state that they are attempting to collect a debt and then give their full address and request a call back.

I sent a similar letter to them for my sister like this:.

This letter is being sent to you regarding the account placed on my credit reports. You have updated this alleged debt as recently as November 2009.

I do not have an OPEN account with you. I do not have a PAST DUE balance with you. You are not a factoring company and I do not have a FACTORING COMPANY ACCOUNT with you. The balance changes every month as well. I do not have one month terms with you. I have NO terms with you.

I have also received a phone call from someone who claims to be in your €œlitigation€? department.

PRA has violated the following, but not limited to:.

1.15 USC 1692e(2)(A) by falsely characterizing the account as an open€?, €œfactoring account€? and €œ1 month terms€? on my credit reports..

2.Violated 15 USC 1692e(8) by communicating credit information which is known or which should be known to be false, by reporting the account as an open , €œone month terms€? and a €œfactoring account.€?.

3. Violated 15 USC 1692e(10) by using any false representation or deceptive means to collect or attempt to collect any debt by reporting the account as an open on my credit reports and by calling themselves a €œFactoring Company€œ and listing the account as a €œfactoring account€? with €œone month€? terms..

4.Violated 15 USC 1692f by using unfair or unconscionable means to collect or attempt to collect any debt by reporting the account as an open and €œfactoring account€? to deceive current and potential creditors and to negatively impact my credit scores..

5. Violated 15 USC 1681s(2) by knowingly furnishing inaccurate information about a consumer to a consumer reporting agency..

6. Section 807(3) prohibits falsely representing or implying that any individual is an attorney or that any communication is from an attorney.

Please provide me with proof that you are allowed to report this way on my credit reports. If you can not provide such proof within 30 days, this alleged debt must be removed from my credit reports. If such proof is not provided and the account is not deleted within the 30 days of receipt of this letter, I will be filing a complaint with your AG, as well as a complaint to the BBB and the FTC. I reserve the right to file suit for the FCRA and FDCPA violations as well. PRA is well aware that they can NOT report this way.

All calls are inconvenient for me at any time or place. Please note my correct address at the top of this letter. Please correspond via USPS mail only. Calls to a 3rd party are unnecessary as you have my mailing address.

Thank you..

Yes, that part was BOLDED in the letter. The notice was left for them to pick the letter up on the 19th. They signed for it the 21st. Sister has saved all 4 messages...

I'm stumped. I'm not so sure what is the right answer. I'll do some research and get back to you if I bump into an answer. You should email the people at Discover Card as they probably can help you..

An ITS will stop the calls. I thought you had an attorney for a different matter?.

Also, if your AG is taking action call his/her office and give them more ammo...

I have an atty for my credit issues. I have given my sister his phone number so that she can contact him regarding this. I'd like to see her get some cash in her pocket. She needs it. Her car was stolen last pm.

I will write a letter to the AG for DS for some help with this.

Thanks!!!..

Got an interesting letter from portfolio today...Was sent to the wrong address...

I am writing to your recent communication regarding the trade line on your credit reportfor the account referenced....HSBC/Orchard Bank...

The balance due on this account $0.00......

One of our represenatives has filed a universal data form electronically for this account requesting that the three major credit reporting agencies update PRA's trade line for this account on your credit reports....

Please review this form and contact me directly if the name social security number, address, account number, or any other information needs to be revised.....

Please allow up to 60 days for each credit reporting agency to mupdate their records accordingly.....

This letter is from a debt collector.....

Huh??? They were deleted several months ago and I never ever contacted them what is this junk????..

Get it on tape and you have a very nice Lawsuit, also be sure to present documentation showing that you told them not to call in writing if possible because they are in violation but it seems they do not care about following the law so file a legal action...

Lawyer says this letter was too angry and that even though PRS continues to call, that they will claim they are doing so to talk about the dispute???? I disagree with this. I believe they are blatantly violating the law...

First, there is NO such thing as a limited cease communication. Its a full C&D or nothing. Number two, they can call until they actually reach your Sister and talk to her as they are allowed even under a full C&D one more contact and a recording just does not count!! Tell your Sis to pick up the phone and tell em go pound sand and that she is recording the call. Never send a 'limited C&D' as it could be construed as a full C&D leaving the JDB no choice but to sue...

Heres how it works....whether or not they violate the law is only an issue if you are willing to sue. Since they have put you in the "not going to sue" catagory, don't expect much to change...
