Have been receiving calls past one year from Caller Company's Portfolio Recovery, they call us with different caller ID's 412-282-1422, 914-513-0443, 626-209-2244, spoke with customer care Jessica, she was very rude and abusing over the phone. Have reported to my phone company for the harassment they have caused us.

They are calling you because they want you to give them some money.

They are running an extortion scam involving junk debt. They buy huge blocks of written off debts for which they pay pennies on the dollar, and then inflate the amounts they paid by a factor of ten or so, usually more than doubling the amount of the original written off debt, for which the banks have been handsomely compensated at taxpayer expense, and then embark on a campaign of intimidation and harassment to get you to send them a check, or better yet, give them access to your bank account.

It may or may not have ever been a debt that belongs to you, but no matter. These people are not interested in niceties like verifying the debt. In fact, they cannot comply with the law by verifying the debt. All they want is the money. The debts, even if they could be verified, are years past the statute of limitations, so they cannot take you to court. Instead, they call you four times a day from four different numbers, and hide their identity in the caller ID, and they go on for years and years.

Unless of course, you complain to the attorney general's office, then they issue a fraudulent 1099-C, claiming they decided to cease collection efforts. Of course they continue calling for years and years after that, in complete defiance of the law.

They are bottom-feeding pond scum mated with vermin, and have been made possible by the take-over of our economy by the financial interests, that began almost forty years ago. If The Best Congress Money Could Buy wanted to put a stop to these predatory a$$holes, they could do it in a minute. BYW, the outfit attached to this number, and at least a hundred other numbers, is called Portfolio Recovery Associates. They infest a suite of offices in Norfolk Virginia, a good reason to avoid any travel to that state.

When I pick up no one is there. Just roving calls.

called earlier today, no one answers... don't guess they want to talk and I will be nice this time....

Okay here it is 8:20 am and I thought that there was a law that they were not to call before 9 am. They are total jerks. Is there somewhere I can complain about them doing this??

It is illegal to harass you and its under the Fair Debt Act.  Write them a cease and decease letter.  Make sure delivery signature and get a copy that someone signed for it.  If they continue to call you can file charges against them with your BBB.  A person in California I believe ended up suing these people and won a judgement of in the millions but could not collect.  These collection agency has pleny of office and they can close them down and quickly put up another.

These collection agency will not remove anyones name from their database since they paid for the accounts of a dollar or less the once that could not be collected and will try and try.  Just ignore them.  Disconnect your land line number since we all use our cell phone.  The cell phone has application that can block this type of number.

They call from various numbers.  I've gotten calls from Portfolio from PA, Florida, Nevada, Calif., Just don't answer if your caller ID is from a place that you aren't sure of.  If it's someone you know, they'll leave a message or call ya back.

These people continue to call be under different numbers. My caller ID identies them as Portfolio Recovery. I keep addng the numbers to my selective call rejection list and they call me back under a differnet number. I spoke with a woman yesterday and told her to stop calling and she was so rude. I have also reported the numbers as i am on the do not call list.

They call  here     3  times ado  , on different   area codes &  Numbers , same company   Portfolio   Recovery  is the name .  I wish they stop calling my  #     think they need time in Prison  !!~

please no more calls to my my cell ph. numbers.

CLEANING UP THE JUNK CALLS. I DID NOT MENTION THAT THIS # WAS FROM PORTFOLIO RECOVERY ON 5/20/2012

CALLED 5/20/2012
NO MSG.

I also get calls from Portfolio Recovery - a couple of times a week - and don't know where this debt came from as I've always paid my bills on time and have never received in late notices. The calls started 4 or 5 years ago but i'm not giving them a dime after reading about them online and other people's stories. I just don't answer anymore!

Unfortunately, companies like Portfolio Recovery can get those unlisted numbers from the phone companies.  All theydo is claim that you owe them money and the phone companies will give them "all" the numbers associated to you, past and present

the scumbags called again @7:53 pm tonight.They are nothing but big scammers.

They also use the following #s in their calls: 404-921-2537      800-860-0644 & 412-282-1422

CONTACT YOUR STATES ATTORNEY GENERALS OFFICE & FDCPA

Just keeps calling

reverse search says private number and says it is a landline. leaves no message.

Call to land-line: 05/04/2012.  No message left.  CID: "PORTFOLIO RECOV".  CID# 4122821422.  Caller Location: Pittsburgh, PA.  Call type: "Zombie-Debt" Collector.

called them back, waited until a person answered, hung up...they call me day and night and when I answer no one is there. I think they do that so you will call back. Just another one of their tactics. I admit I owe a debt, but they say they want to help you then they try to get you to give them access to your bank account so they can withdraw the money. Even though I told the llady I couldn't afford to pay off in the time she insisted on -she simply kept insisting.

They called this morning and I answered.  They asked for me by name.  I told them I'm not that person, what do they want.  They would not tell me who they are and that it's business that they can only discuss with me.  If this is a debt collector, I don't know what debt as I've never been late on any payments.  What ever happened to the DNC?  Now that I see that it's Portfolio Recovery, they call every day at least once a day from different numbers.

It seems like forever that these dimwits have been calling from various numbers. The calls are always for someone else if they bother to leave a message.  I'm glad to hear they are under investigation, but aside from their calling practices they could be doing all sorts of stuff with what ever money they get out of vulnerable people. Maybe they aren't just corporate slugs.

They're baaaaaaaackkk!  PRA has been calling this house for three years now. They "decided to cease collection efforts" in September, 2010. I have it in writing from some lawyer named Pearson, who had been forced back then to finally respond to my letters by the state Attorney General's office.

What I can't figure out is this: if they "decided to cease collection efforts," then how come they have called 185 times since then? Are they dumber than dirt, or are they merely bottom-feeding slimy pond scum, the offspring of diseased vermin?

AND YET...ANOTHER CALL & HANGUP FROM PORTFOLIO RECOVERY. THEY ARE SO ANNOYING. WHY CAN'T SOMETHING BE DONE W/THESE JERKS.

They are nothing but a bunch of sociopaths, harassing a dying family member for a chunk of money that would not pay their phone bill for one day. Spouse hung up on them. They haven't called back.

They are under investigation? That is good to know. My Samsung phone has an app built in to reject phone numbers, so whenever I get a call from them, it kicks them immediately to voice mail, and they do not leave a message.

When I have talked to them, I have told them to show proof of the debt. I have given them my address several times, they have one I have not lived at in four years. If they can't figure that out - its their fault. They refuse to mail me the proof, they have referred me to their website. No, it does not work that way. So eff them. If they are under federal investigation, that is excellent news to my ears.

They are looking for someone who i have never heard of & will not stop calling!!
Getting very angry!

WOW!  Really?  Can you give me more information about their being investigated for their activity and also info on how to report them for harassment to the Attorney General?!?!  Thanks so much!
