You may not have luck stopping them from calling a landline, but if you have a cell phone...download the app "Mr. Number." It takes care of all of it.  Blocks all private, unknown caller, out of area.  It blocks any number or text address you tell it to.  Very nice!  Just wish they had something similar for landlines.

I also got an unwanted call on my cell from 702-410-7859.  I asked him for his number to call him back because I was busy. He said "Its the number on your screen". When I told him "My screen didn't work and that's why I needed his number, he hung up.

I got a "bill" today from a collection agency out of Texas saying I owe $2500.00 for a Mervyns acccount that is past due. The so called bill was addressed to my first and middle name and not my last name. I have NEVER had a line of credit with these people as I live in the upper mid west and there are no stores around here. Upon doing a search of my first and middle name, I found there are many people in the California area. Point being, are they sending these so called collection notices to just any and everyone out there with the name remotely the same??? Shouldnt they do their homework first so they are sending the notice to the RIGHT person? Wow! sure wouldnt want this kind of mistake to play havic with my credit!

Send them a certified letter requesting that all contact be in writing.  It is not illegal to call your cell phone unless you have in writing the request not to.

Depending on how many times your debt has been purchased depends on how much the collection agency paid.  They don't pay a fixed $50 fee.  The first collection agency pays about 7 cents per dollar for your debt and if they later sell it to another agency, they only pay about 3 cents per dollar.  Then they continue to tack on interest fees every month as well.

Student Loans are an exception also.  Aside from death the only way to have them forgiven is to be deemed totally and permanently disabled and then submit the form from their website to eliminate it.

THEIR STOCK IS WAY DOWN SINCE THIS CAMPAIGN STARTED. FAR WORSE THAN THE DROPS ON WALL STREET. EVERYONE 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.

One way I think it is by cons det.  Those who receive as wrong # cuss them out.  Those of you who do have a legitimate debt they are probably found you out.  Is purchase sometheng wi the no paye is by law stealing.... I has not a use for you if steal form... If you do best of can, that all can of do.  Otherweis, if you don't paye, try it to hide form det, you steal according to law, a has of no use to you.  In other words, I don't feel sorrey to you.  look 4d you owe so paye.  A least paye sometheng as best of can.  If they call you as wrong # just delt they call off you phone and forget abt it.  Otherweis it's you to paye as best ability or it steal from.

Okay, here we have Portfolio Recovery personnel with nothing better to do than to be monitoring boards like this.  Nice try buddy, but being harrassed over legally settled debts should have nothing to do with being a good citizen or being responsible on how you pay your bills.  

Portfolio Recovery is a bottom feeder company that hires the dregs of humanity to prey upon elderly people who live in fear that someone will put their poor grandson in jail over a 12 year old debt....Get a real job and quit being such a putz.....

You can call your phone company and see if they have a blocking system.  My home phone company has allowed my to add 20 numbers to a blocking system that they have and I have unknown and private calls added to the list and that's what stopped my calls at home.  So, now they call my cell, I don't know how they got that number but I want to say they got it from Capital One....My cell phone provider also has the same type of system a blocker.....Try it see if this works for you.

as part of the bankruptcy procedures, the company would have most likely sold off the delinquent accounts to debt collections agencies.

the original company (mervyn's) has to satisfy their creditors before they can complete the bankruptcy.
