Dead Soul Is a Debt Collector – Robo Signers
Details about Martha Kunkle, whose name appeared on thousands of affidavits used to collect credit-card debts
Deceased Woman’s Name Was Robo-Signed on Thousands of Affidavits
The Wall Street Journal
By JESSICA SILVER-GREENBERG
Martha Kunkle has come back to life.
She died in 1995. Yet her signature later appeared on thousands of affidavits submitted by one of the nation’s largest debt collectors, Portfolio Recovery Associates Inc., in lawsuits filed against borrowers.
Some regulators complain that the use of Ms. Kunkle’s name reflects an epidemic of mass-produced, sloppy and inaccurate documentation in the debt-collection industry. Lawsuits have surged as more borrowers fall behind on payments and collection firms turn to courts to get what they are owed.
