Called, 6:13 pm ET,  left no message. Unknown caller

Portfolio Recovery

keep getting calls from 205-79-6019 -no message just a hang up - annoying!

It is Portfolio Recovery, they call from numbers all of the US, Chicago, Virginia, Houston, Alabama etc. They have been sued 3 times now for bad practices and not following the law for debt collection, BBB has a rating for them I think last I looked was an F.

Continue to receive calls from (205) 379-6019
Birmingham, AL they leave no messages, and no caller ID info shows.

Just recv'd call...no message. I don't know anyone at that number. Don't answer call that I don't recognize the number.

These idiots need to be arrested and never be able to call again

Called no message. Roboportfolio

*Keep any and all conversations recorded to your states recording laws, some require they be told, others do not. This can be transferred to a recording device.
*Keep a notebook handy for writing time,date, who you spoke with and what the conversation detailed.
*Check your SOL for your state as well.
*Attorneys need to be licensed as a DC to collect, all DC's must be licensed in their state as well as yours if different.

I admit I have debt...I am making regular payments. They have called ex husband's father divorced 20 years ago and said I listed him as a next of Kin.  They have called friends.  I answered to tell them to stop harassing and their response is the police will be making a visit and they will call everyone I know if they want to!

They just called me at 840 on a Sunday night. Really?? It's there a law they can't call after 8pm? And left no message, must not be too darn important!

They cant threaten the police, its against the FCRA. You can sue them for that

its against the fdcpa to provide false info to consumer including telling them that police will be call as that is threatening actions which is against the fdcpa. and you can sue if it actually happened and if it was recorded

The lady barely spoke English, so I would be leary of giving her any information, even if it was a legit call, but after reading several of the messages here, I am shocked they are still able to be "up and running".  The outstanding bill is in my name, but only after I took it out when I left and moved,  and my (now deceased) estranged husband had one of his female friends put it back in my name, and they did so without question.

That number keeps calling once in a while, they don't leave a message, I don't know who they are, so I don't answer.

Call and didn't leave a message - so not sure who it is.

just remember if they call on sundays..the bill is paid in full...

What does this mean?

They have called me several times. They never leave a message. They even called while I was in Church.
