Why has my account been sold to PRA Group?
PRA Group purchases large numbers of debt accounts from many major banks and finance companies. These banks and finance companies chose to sell their accounts on to debt purchase companies like PRA Group, usually when the account has gone into default. This is good news, as PRA Group specialises in working with customers to help them resolve their debt and repair their credit history.
