Portfolio Recovery Associates (PRA) is a debt buyer – a company that buys charged-off debts from banks and other lenders. PRA is not a lender, which is why you may not recognize them. If a debt from PRA is appearing on your credit report, it’s usually because PRA bought a charged-off credit card or loan from your original lender and now owns that debt.
