Portfolio Recovery? Were they not the ones on Tv that were exposed as the scum of the earth collections agency?

Love that idea. Now I can see how many times the idiots have called and how many times I never heard it ring and never answered. I also like to give them nasty names. Makes me smile when I see it on the missed calls list!!

got a call from this # my phone detected it as spam

Called me today @1720 Pacific Time, left no message. Third call today from Portfolio Recovery Assoc. from 3 different numbers.

hello all, i to am recieving these, there are laws in place by the FTC which you can pull up on there wab site, these people DO have to send you notice in the mail, they DO have to give you there address, if you submit to them in writing to stop calling they DO have to quit calling, and the FTC does go after these people, and you can sue them as an individual for up to $20,000.00 or a class action up to $500,000.00, you just have act and turn them in and contact your DA, these that are past the staute also CANNOT be put as active on your credit, once wrote off they are officially and legally dead, info can be found at www.ftc.gov...

So what if they call, why is it such a bother to people?

If you have caller ID then, why ever answer a number that is unrecognizable.


If it is important, they will leave a message.


This company is just wasting their time with me, funny but sad too.

Portfolio Recovery for the 10,000th time on the 1,000th number that they called from. They can call all day on all phones for all i care....I never answer, and if i do, I just tell them wrong number. The calls continue from another phone number, but what do I care...They will never see a penny from me anyway. These cowards dont even leave a message or speak usually if you pick up anyways....pretty lame attempt at trying to collect debts from 10-20 years ago if you ask me.

Portfolio Recovery Service...Says they're collecting on closed account from 1997.  Past statute of limitations and never even belonged to me.  They have no information they can send you.  They purchase old debts and try to collect on them.  Here are other numbers they also call from:
518-207-3600; 702-410-7069; 205-423-4020; 412-282-1420; 443-313-1380;208-588-8181; 404-592-5171; 407-347-4014; 484-489-2840; 620-662-8870; 731-984-7690; 859-918-0780; 757-961-3544; 865-292-0385; 678-265-1568; 440-580-0720; 620-662-8870; 757-864-0020; 731-215-8010; 205-599-8181; 800-387-1357; 800-383-8013.

I have blocked these numbers and continue to block every number they call on.

I paid $299 and never heard from them again, mail, phone or otherwise. Certified letter has stopped thousands of CC colleciton agencies over the past 5 years. email mtsbiz2@gmail.

THEIR STOCK IS WAY DOWN SINCE THIS CAMPAIGN STARTED. FAR WORSE THAN THE DROPS ON WALL STREET. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!

Reverse boycott. Together we are destroying their cost/benefit ratio by consuming their service. Their legal model is less vulnerable than their business model. Individual efforts against their legal model have failed for years. This united effort against their business model is succeeding.

When a company can repeatedly call with the intent of getting money their customers can repeatedly answer or call back with the intent of not giving them any. They need people to pay with as little talk as possible. They don't want to talk with people who know they are never going to pay. Be all talk and no pay. Answer when convenient. Call back. Give no information. Verify nothing. Ask as many questions as you can. Answer none.

Don't ignore/block/report them. It doesn't work. These folks want you to ignore them for as long as you can stand to or until you give them something valuable like money or information. Ignoring them is being their good customer. Sending a cease and desist is giving information. It lets them know you are still alive and remain their good customer. Preparing to initiate unlikely individual legal battles is being their good customer.

Be their bad customer. Make them talk to you fruitlessly for as long as they can stand to or until they stop selecting you as their customer. These companies cannot spend seconds much less minutes on the phone with every person who will never send them a dime. But they don't know who that is. You do. That knowledge is power. Every second you can keep their staff on the phone will render their business less profitable giving them a reason to never call you again.

Calling will not reset your SOL. Making a partial payment will.

I like to ask general questions they should but usually won't answer, "May I have the name and address of your agent for service of process?" Calmly and slowly ask them to spell every word in the address. Read it back for verification. Control the pace. If they are rushing then politely ask them to slowly repeat. "Are you a corporation and if so in which state are you incorporated?" Repeat your questions when you don't get direct answers. When they won't answer a question ask, "Would you like to comply with the business and professions codes of your state?" That is usually the point when they hang up on me but if they say they want to comply then begin your questions again.

Repeat while you have the spare time. These folks have many victims and few operators. If everyone calls back but pays nothing the mass auto-dialer business model becomes unprofitable. Don't aide and comfort the enemy by ignoring them. Call! Have a nice long slow friendly chat! Make them hang up first.

Press 2 for Spanish.

For any business, customers who consume the most resources but don't pay (or otherwise add value) become the least desirable. Most businesses will stop (cease and desist) soliciting an undesirable customer. Those that don't stop remain knowingly vulnerable to the actions of their undesirable customers. Few companies can afford to let everyone take a piece of them whenever they want endlessly. For instance they must pay staff to answer everyone's telephone calls which can be placed at your convenience for the joy of it. Call and consume their operator time without paying or giving information. Be a bad customer. The worst customer. Inspire them to invoke their right to refuse you service by not soliciting you.

There are certainly enough victims to take down this company so ignoring/blocking seems downright Orwellian to me. Really? We're just going to passively submit and go with a block list or however we manage ignoring an endless stream of unwanted phone calls day after day? Hell no! Unite or remain conquered. Answer/return every call - become well practiced at keeping these folks on the phone - or count yourself not amongst the free.

They harass me too. Here is a tip to help out if they call you on your cell phone:
Add their number to you contacts with the name something like "zFU1", "zFU2", etc. (begin with a "z" so it shows up at the very end/bottom of your contacts and you won't have to always scroll past them)
Be sure to assign a ring tone of "silent" also. When they call, your cell will not ring and that takes away a lot of the bother. This method also works on some cordless home phones.
