came  up on my caller id as National  Portfolio

they have called me on and off for about a year; I contacted Legal Aid and was told they were scam artist and I am non collectable as my only income is Social Security; government income is safe and even if they get a judgment in court they cannot collect; I am 70 and in bad health so I just don't answer their calls or listen to messages left by them; they are worse than scum for preying on people rather than working for a living

Thank you.  I have filed 2 complaints already on the company.. Appreciate it.

Levy Brown and Assciates have been calling me for months. They wont give their real name, address, website info, or any info about the supposed debt. They even called me an idiot over the phone and told me they thought I was a criminal for the debt. Definitely illegal.

Great info, thanks!

These companies jump from one 800 number to another

Do not pay it is a scam

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the nation's consumer protection agency, is warning consumers to be on the alert for scam artists posing as debt collectors. It may be hard to tell the difference between a legitimate debt collector and a fake one. Sometimes a fake collector may even have some of your personal information, like a bank account number. A caller may be a fake debt collector if he:

?is seeking payment on a debt for a loan you do not recognize;
?refuses to give you a mailing address or phone number;
?asks you for personal financial or sensitive information; or
?exerts high pressure to try to scare you into paying, such as threatening to have you arrested or to report you to a law enforcement agency.

If you think that a caller may be a fake debt collector:

?Ask the caller for his name, company, street address, and telephone number. Tell the caller that you refuse to discuss any debt until you get a written "validation notice." The notice must include the amount of the debt, the name of the creditor you owe, and your rights under the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.
If a caller refuses to give you all of this information, do not pay! Paying a fake debt collector will not always make them go away. They may make up another debt to try to get more money from you.

?Stop speaking with the caller. If you have the caller's address, send a letter demanding that the caller stop contacting you, and keep a copy for your files. By law, real debt collectors must stop calling you if you ask them to in writing.

?Do not give the caller personal financial or other sensitive information. Never give out or confirm personal financial or other sensitive information like your bank account, credit card, or Social Security number unless you know whom you're dealing with. Scam artists, like fake debt collectors, can use your information to commit identity theft ? charging your existing credit cards, opening new credit card, checking, or savings accounts, writing fraudulent checks, or taking out loans in your name.

?Contact your creditor. If the debt is legitimate ? but you think the collector may not be ? contact your creditor about the calls. Share the information you have about the suspicious calls and find out who, if anyone, the creditor has authorized to collect the debt.

?Report the call. Contact the FTC and your state Attorney General's office with information about suspicious callers. Many states have their own debt collection laws in addition to the federal FDCPA. Your Attorney General's office can help you determine your rights under your state's law.

They keep calling me at work and my family members. SCAM...  No such company exist in Florida

called me yesterday.  said I owed $$$$ and she said she would take legal action.  Wanted my bank statement and could not tell me what the debt was for.  

They are calling identifying themselves with Levy Brown Keller.  However when you call the number back they don't identify themselves when answering as that.  They have called my work numerous times, my family, friends, and my bank - they are bad news!

they are an illegal/scam law firm specially  doing illegal collections

Who is these people ?

this is a 'new' number for Levy Brown Keller who left a message to call them at 877-540-4731 and gave me a 'case number'.  The number they used previously was  844-788-0789.
