"Portfolio Recovery Services" is a collection agency that is looking for someone with a name similar to yours. If you didn't talk to them, call them back, tell them you're not who they're looking for, and they'll stop calling your number.

They won't stop calling your number if you call back. In fact they'll harass you even more. This company is awful....just plain awful.

Mark it DO NOT ANS on your phone  if they do not leave a message but they have so many different numbers it will be a long list of DO Not Ans numbers in your phone if you change phones you better not use it for anything but friends and family use the other one for everything else. If you have filed bankruptcy report them to your lawyer he can stop the harassing phone calls..

Calls daily and the only people that have this cell number are direct family members for emergency contact. This is like all the other junk calls.

Called me 3 times at 8 in the morning after I just got my sick 2 month old baby to sleep. I do not owe them a dime, they weren't even kind enough to leave a message. These people are the low-life scum of the earth. I am lucky enough to have my finances in order, I feel truly sorry for those that may be struggling only to be harassed and demeaned by these horrible people.

They keep calling, I tell them no to call any more and am not the person they are looking for, then they want my name and social security number. They are into some kind of fraudulent business.

Check statues of limitations in your state. Most credit card debt goes stale after two years. Morally you may be obligated. But, not legally. Tell them to look up "Time barred debts". Debt will fall off my report in two months. I smell desperation!
Put them on your block list.

They keep calling asking for "Cindy" just Cindy... I keep telling them they have the wrong no. And remove it. But they call back!

They are violating your rights under the fdcpa, and can be sued.  You will win.

These guys got my sister-in-law a 48k settlement.

855-290-8844 with no out of pocket fee.

Another woman got a 83 MILLION dollar judgment against them a few weeks ago. They were after the wrong person.

We may very well see the end of this organization if the original judgment is upheld in appeals court.

Sure they will!  lol

I called back to tell them that they were calling the wrong person. But they were so agressive and horrible.

What you say is true Carly. Sadly for the vermin at Portfolio, more & more people are becoming aware that what they are doing is attempting to re-validate time barred debts so that they can then pursue those people legally in a civil action. All it takes is for one of their tele-maggots to coerce a payment from a naïve individual & then the "clock starts ticking" again. That's why a person should NEVER make a payment on a time-barred debt. That persons' credit has already been "dinged" &, regardless of what some parasite from Portfolio might tell you, NOTHING is going to change that.
The SOLs on the various types of debt vary by state. The seven year report limit on CRs is basically irrelevant. Junk debt buyers can, and will, try to collect on ancient debts for as long as they think they might find a "sucker". Some will try to sue to collect a time-barred debt. The scheming SOBs are hoping for a default judgement. Currently only two states (Wisconsin & Mississippi) prohibit such under-handed practices. That's going to change as more people become more aware of what's been going on in this country for far too long.
Savvy consumers have no fear of Portfolio & even less fear of the blustering idiots that they employ. Junk debt buyers purchase exactly that. Junk! They also employ the same thing. Junk! If someone receives a summons from Portfolio they need to appear at the hearing. Retain an attorney or acquire help through a legal aid organization. Show up in that courtroom &, if that debt is time-barred, the attorney for Portfolio is going to come up with a dozen reasons why there "must have been a mistake" before anyone says a single word to the Judge. That's the point when you have your attorney mention counter-claims & a lawsuit against Portfolio to their attorney of record. He'll brush off the issue, until you file the paperwork against them. They'll settle with you at that point & they'll do it quickly. To them, it's just another cost of doing business.

It's also worth noting that generally, only legitimate, licensed collection agencies will bother to ding your credit report, as they have to provide pertinent information about who they are to the three major credit reporting agencies.  Scam collectors have no desire to register themselves and create any kind of paper trail which could lead back to them.  Plus, it's a crime for any collection agency to provide bogus contact information when reporting an unpaid debt.  Not that criminals really care about that per se, but if the CRA's are unable to contact the creditor for validation in the event of a dispute, it's that much easier to remove a bogus report from your record.  Remember....the burden of proof is always on the creditor first.  They have to prove you owe the debt before you have to prove you don't.

Pure Scum !! Vermin !! And needs to be blocked from your phone forever !!!!

Who are these morons
