I have got calls from these guyson any day of the week even Sundays. They are rude.

fraudulent collection agency

About 2 months ago I was receiving phone calls twice a day, EVERYDAY 7 days a week. Talk about getting tired of it. So I thought and came up with an IDEA. Sure enough, 2 hrs later my cell phone rang and it was Portfolio Company's number. So, When I answered the phone this is what I said...

"Good afternoon, Thank you for contacting Portfolio Recovery Service. How may I direct your call."      The lady was dead silent for about 45 seconds. So I said, "Hello, anybody there, this is Portfolio Recovery Service. How may I direct your call."  She slowly replied,  "ummmmmm, have I got the wrong number."  I replied,, " Who were you trying to contact MAM."   SHE WAS TOTALLY DUMB FOUNDED.  She replied,, "Not the company I work for" and with that SHE HUNG UP instead of me having to.

I have not received another call from them since then.   It is worth a try. It worked for me. Also It is a Great Laugh listening to them totally DUMB FOUNDED not understanding WHAT THE HECK just HAPPENED.....

Please be aware that by law a debt collector can only contact you 3 times in a 7 days period. (Fair Debt Collection Act) Even if they do not leave a message just dialing your number and having it ring is an attempt. I have my cell phone auto record their numbers on my bill. I have filed numerous complaints against companies like this and they have stopped calling me. But you need to make sure that you have a record that shows dates and times with the number calling as well as what company the number belongs to. Its taken my time, but it worth it to be able to answer my phone again.

I just forward unanswered calls to the Federal Trade Commission's Customer Service number... so these scumbags are bothering the correct people, not me.

these people call me up to 5 times a day 7 days a week. i am filing bankruptcy and already gave them the information... so i thought that is illegal that they still bother me? i pick up a few times to give them the info again but it's dead air. apparently that is how they figure out the best time to call you. it's gotten ridiculous!

You can all stop these calls for less than $5.  Under the Fair Credit Collection Act you send a certified letter to the companies main office.  In this letter you must be very specific and tell them any and all further contact with you regarding your account must be in writing to the address they have on file ONLY.   Explain to them that any other attempt to contact you other than by U.S. mail is to stop.  That any other attempts to contact outside of the mail will result in a violation of the Federal Fair Credit Collection Act and you will report it promptly.

Be aware that these companies swap debts on their books to other companies all the time so once they get this letter from you they will sell off your debt to someone else.  Remember too that these companies bought the debt from the original card or creditor for pennies on the dollar.  They will at times make a deal with you to wipe out the debt ofr much less.  Good Luck

They also use the number 731-215-8010. I got a call from that # today but I have the entire 731 area code blocked so they called moments ago from the 620 area code (which is now blocked) I wonder how many area codes they have access to?

Funny thing is when I picked up the phone when they first started calling they said they were looking for someone I have never heard of, I told them but I guess they thought I was lying...


Oh well, I'll just continue to block any area codes they call from until they run out.

Sending them written notice myself, legal specifics are in the following document. Their current address is:
PO Box 12914
Norfolk VA, 23541

Fair Dept Collection Practices Act: www.ftc.gov/os/statutes/031224fcra.pdf

§ 805. Communication in connection with debt collection
(c) CEASING COMMUNICATION. If a consumer notifies a debt collector in writing that the consumer refuses to pay a debt or that the consumer wishes the debt collector to cease further communication with the consumer, the debt collector shall not communicate further with the consumer with respect to such debt, except—
(1) to advise the consumer that the debt collector’s further efforts are being terminated;
(2) to notify the consumer that the debt collector or creditor may invoke specified remedies which are ordinarily invoked by such debt collector or creditor; or
(3) where applicable, to notify the consumer that the debt collector or creditor intends to invoke a specified remedy.
If such notice from the consumer is made by mail, notification shall be complete upon receipt.

Called mobile, no message

you can't do that legally. You're solliciting spam to a number to harrass a legal company. Just pay your dang debt or tell them you are fully aware of your rights and to stop calling about it. They must then stop and take what actions they can. In most cases they will simply sell to another collector. Its a never ending cycle until dead beats actualy pay their bills.

lmao!! what a good one

Hey its not a matter of paying bills i  have none and these [***] keep calling me asking for someone else even if u tell them they have the wrong number take me off your list they still keep calling and hang up if you ask for manager.

don't call, send letter

This number shows up on my caller ID at work as Portfolio Recovery.

no message

These people are real jerks.  Liars.

If you would like to make a complaint of Harassment, then go to your local police department and file a ;complaint. Typically I contact the number and tell them that if they call the complainant again I will get a warrant on the subject I am speaking with.  They stop calling magically...

No message --- of course, i've turned off my answering machine, and if I see any number I dont like, i just jiggle the handset to hang up  :)

Rec'd call from 620-662-8870. Didn't recognize the number, let it go to voice mail. No message left.
Google search shows it's probably Porfolio Recovery, a debt firm.
I don't owe any money and my credit is perfect.
