Telling me I owed them money on an account have not used in years. Nothing is showing up on  my credit report about being delinquent on any accounts!!! Hate scamers!!!

Find out about their illegal harassment, trying to collect old SOL - STATUTE OF LIMITATION expired debts from clueless people!

Google: "portfolio recovery scam".

Report them to the Federal Trade Commission and your State Attorney General - and block their calls:

Google: "phone call blockers" - they can be purchased for little money at eBay

Some call blockers:
• Uniden DECT1288 blocks up to 20 numbers, plus Private and Unknown, with the reject tone, without ringing the phone.
• Panasonic KX-TG106 blocks up to 30 numbers, plus all unidentified callers, with a busy tone, after the phone rings once.
• JF Teck Caller ID with Ring Controller blocks up to 70 numbers, and can be set to always allow up to 100 to ring through.

By the way, if you want to set up your phone to forward their calls to the Federal Trade Commission, here's the number to use:
1-877-382-4357

These pests buy very old junk debts for pennies on the dollar with expired statue of limitation, than use illegal harassment tactics trying to intimidate uninformed individuals to pay money for this junk debt, which is noncollectable since the statue of limitations has long expired. Never ever agree to pay ANYTHING to these law breaking rats, since by doing so you would void your statue of limitation protection. Google: \"Portfolio Recovery Associates Scam\" to find out more about their lawless behavior, send a letter requesting validation of debt [Google how to do so] and report them to your Attorney General, the FTC. They have many law suits pending against them. Don\'t fall for their scam - block their calls, or send a \"cease and desist\" letter [Google] or simply ignore them, or answer and sing a song or whatever. Fight these slimy roaches!! Good luck!

Don't have any idea who these people are and would like them to stop calling. They never leave a message and call constantly.

Fight back! This guy has ton of FREE information about statute of limitations, stop contact letters etc.

This has been going on ever since we bought a house and got somebody else's old phone number. I think we're going to cancel our phone line and just use cellular from now on.

they start  calling at 8:00 am and call several times a day. very annoying. the person does not even live here they are trying to reach. definitely harassment.

This is another number probably from Port Folio Recovery.  They have about 40 or more numbers they call from.  Most of the numbers are 800, 866, 877, but then they use other plain numbers like this one from different states.  914 513 2925 from Yonkers, NY. I never answer my phone unless I know who is calling.  I live in Tenn., and they are trying to collect an old debt for a vehicle I had that was repossessed.  They sold it at auction, and they still want me to pay money for it.  I am on social security disability so there is no way they can garnish my check to pay for this debt.  
So, I advise people not to answer their phones unless they know who is calling.  And you can always look up a number on Google.com.  Sometimes they try to call me from unknown names and numbers, and out of area numbers.  Like I'm really going to answer those, too.

Yep these people never give up and now are calling on Sunday.  They know that I'm disable and can't pay but the keep calling and calling.  They are also rude.  When I told them my situation it didn't make a difference.  She was rude.

who is the yatz  from yonkers NY?

anybody know who this caller is???

Who is this caller?
