port folio recovery   debt collector

Portfolio Recovery-Trying to collect a 12yr old debt that was paid 6 yrs ago.

Calling on a Sunday afternoon??

Calling on a Sunday afternoon??

even called after 8:30 PM  CID sez Atlanta, GA - I won't answer - "slimeballs"

I blocked all of Portfolio's numbers that they called on, plus others I found on a google search. It looks like they have added new numbers with out there name as to trick people. I have never answered any of there calls as I know when they confirm your name they will up the calls and such. I have no over due bills, and have nothing on my report for many years.

404-592-5171  called my unlisted cell phone and asked for my husband.  They want payment on an acct charged off 11 years ago.  Do not call these people back as your call can be misconstrued as an acknowledgement of a debt you are no longer obligated to pay.  Save your sanity and save the number as "Do Not Answer".  They are pond scum who try to trick the uninformed into paying off debts that have passed the statute of limitations.  If this debt was an issue, would I have been able to buy a house without paying it off?

Yes they call at all hours of the day and night. Doesnt matter what day it is either. They are calling on a debt that was charged off in a bankruptcy in 1994 . I have tolfd them that the debt was charged off in bankruptcy in 1994 but they insist i still owe it. I checked with my attorney and we are now suing them. They are scum and very unethical and dishonest. DO NOT CALL THEM BACK!!

Find out about their illegal activities, trying to collect old SOL - STATUTE OF LIMITATION expired debts from clueless people!

Google: "portfolio recovery scam".

Report them to the Federal Trade Commission, Better Business Bureau or your State Attorney General - and block their calls:

Google: "phone call blockers" - they can be purchased for little money at eBay

Some call blockers:
• Uniden DECT1288 blocks up to 20 numbers, plus Private and Unknown, with the reject tone, without ringing the phone.
• Panasonic KX-TG106 blocks up to 30 numbers, plus all unidentified callers, with a busy tone, after the phone rings once.
• JF Teck Caller ID with Ring Controller blocks up to 70 numbers, and can be set to always allow up to 100 to ring through.

By the way, if you want to set up your phone to forward their calls to the Federal Trade Commission, here's the number to use:
1-877-382-4357

These pests buy very old junk debts for pennies on the dollar with expired statue of limitation, than use illegal harassment tactics trying to intimidate uninformed individuals to pay money for this junk debt, which is noncollectable since the statue of limitations has long expired. Never ever agree to pay ANYTHING to these law breaking rats, since by doing so you would void your statue of limitation protection. Google: \"Portfolio Recovery Associates Scam\" to find out more about their lawless behavior, send a letter requesting validation of debt [Google how to do so] and report them to your Attorney General, the FTC. They have many law suits pending against them. Don\'t fall for their scam - block their calls, or send a \"cease and desist\" letter [Google] or simply ignore them, or answer and sing a song or whatever. Fight these slimy roaches!! Good luck!

They called me about a debt for a friend -- I asked for the last 4 digits of any phone numbers they had on him.  The phone numbers they provided did NOT match any phone numbers he has had for the last ten years!!!

Fascinating...

They know no limits - calling day & night - i have 16 of their numbers stored in "Do Not Answer" on my phone. Trying to collect on 10 yr. old debt, waaaay out of statute of limitations for any State in the USA. I answered the first call a few months ago & talked to a very rude chick. She kept asking if I was the person she was looking for & I said "no" but that didn't stop her from being a total b. I ended up hanging up on her. Last call was from FL. Once they called like 7am & I answered. The lady asked for such & such & i told her I didn't know anyone by that name. SHe said 'can i leave a message?' and I said I don't know who she's looking for & she said "OK" and hung up. Heh. Guess harassment wasn't her strong point :-) I doubt she has a job there now.

Don't admit to anything. Search for a list of their numbers & program them into your phones so you don't answer them by mistake. Life's much simpler without having to deal with these idiots.

Just called me on a Sunday afternoon. Also repeatedly calls my cell. This did not start until I upgraded my cell to Android smartphone. Coincidence? Also just bought a brand new car - showroom new. My credit is squeaky clean. Will never answer unrecognized numbers. Suggest same to all. Portfolio Recovery Associates are the lowest of the bottom-feeders.

These guys r jerks!!

They call me at least twice to three times a week. All different hours.
