Portfolio Recovery Services

They should leave a message if they're serious

They left no message & I did not answer

Received a call on my cell from 205-588-8181. Didn't recognize the area code so let it go to voice mail. No message was left.
Reported it to: https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/
The last time I reported Portfolio Recovery Associates the calls stopped for about 1 month. It's not perfect, but better than them continually calling.
I have perfect credit and do not owe anyone anything; so does my spouse.

They call constantly but never leave a message. Some say they buy old debts and try to collect on them. Not sure. One things for sure and that is they are annoying!

get calls all the time dont owe anyone anything so i dont know why they are calling sometimes 4 times a day

They left no message,  Stop call me now.

left no msg. Sure its one of those bill collectors.

Portfolio Recovery scumbags . . don't answer 205-588-8181
These people are bottom feeders

Malisa Busch left me a message to call her at 866-428-6589.  Apparently they do buy OLD debt.  Like the kind you took care of 10 or so years ago.  I guess they figure you may have forgot about it being gone and try to see what they can get.  Very sad thinking there are folks out there paying these bottom feeders not knowing any better.

So I didn't know any better and I've already given them $150.00 on an old debt for a credit card i had in 2005 but that portfolio recovery associates purchased in 2007.  should i continue paying them?

can they levy your bank account?

They first have to sue you and have a judge rule in their favor before they can levy your account.  You would have to be given notice by a process server to let you know that a lawsuit has been filed.

i view these as prank calls

They're calling me about a credit card that was paid off in 2005.  Stating that I owe them 1500 exactly.  The limit on the card was 1200 and there was never more than 300 bucks on it.  Gotta love these idiots.

Don't give them a dime, it's an automatic admission that you owe them money.  Never pay a collection agency a dime, all they'll do is collect what they paid for the debt plus about 20% then sell off the remaining debt to someone else... and the cycle continues.  If you want to pay stuff off, get a good CPA/Attorney, for about 1500 bucks they will get the source debt and pay that once you've given them authorization to do so. It saves time and a LOT of money.  Usually a good attorney can get about .40 cents on the dollar owed if the debt is over 2 years old.  The fee to them is well worth it.  They get documentation from the source debtor and have the crap off your credit within 90 to 120 days usually.

Don't EVER give a collection agency money though, there's not a single one that will fully take care of the debt.

Another "zombie debt" scam call. They call or send letters about things that either never existed, you paid off, or is too old regardless, in the hopes for some cash. Everyone these days is so "OMG NOT MY CREDIT RATING!!!" that some people actually fall for it.

5 times in the last hour from this number......no message left

I usually don't call numbers I find on a bar restroom walls but this number caught my eye. Written on the wall was " For a good reach around call 205-588-8181, the Salad sisters swalllow". Well.. I have been single for a while now and I figured I try something different than the cute little chinese girl that gives a great massage but nothing more. So I called, only to find a converstaion with a tranny that must be so disease ridden I had to hang up! Goes to show,if they posted their number on the wall one can't trust those so low to advertise between the sprinkles and bugers..... sickos!
