they kept calling my cell yester and they were so rude

I had the same issue, I received 20 calls from this company in one day.  As soon as I threatened to call my attorney if I received any more calls, they stopped.

If they were robo-dialing your cell phone, you can take them to court and sue them for calling your cell phone without consent under the TCPA (Do Not Call) laws.

Portfolio Recovery Associates currently has a class action lawsuit filed against them for TCPA violations in the Georgia courts for calling a woman on her cell phone and without her permission:

ATLANTA, GA--The law firm of Turner Law Offices, LLC has filed a Class Action lawsuit against Defendant Portfolio Recovery Associates, Inc. ("PRA") in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia on behalf of all persons in the State of Georgia who, since October 28, 2010, received a non-emergency telephone call from PRA to a cellular telephone through the use of an automatic telephone dialing system or an artificial or prerecorded voice and who did not provide prior express consent for such calls during the transaction that resulted in the debt owed. The action is captioned Kimberly Bartlett v. Portfolio Recovery Associates, Inc., and is numbered 11-CV-00624.

According to the Complaint, PRA violated the Telephone Consumer Protection Act ("TCPA") by using automatic dialing systems or an artificial or prerecorded voice to contact cell phone users about purported debts without their prior consent. As described in the Complaint, Ms. Bartlett, the named plaintiff in the action, was repeatedly contacted since October 28, 2010 on her cell phone about a purported credit card debt. The plaintiff never consented to those calls, nor did she provide PRA with her telephone number.

Under the TCPA, PRA could be ordered to pay attorneys' fees, litigation expenses and costs of the lawsuit, and statutory damages of $500 for each negligent violation, and/or $1,500 for each knowing and/or willing violation. According to the Complaint, the potential Class Members are estimated to number in the tens of thousands. For further information please contact:

they started to call me today like one after another, but wouldn't leave a message i just did research on this phone as usually this repeating annoying calling only means scam so i want to add a report on them i am on do not call list and have no debt or own anything, so they have no reason to keep calling me like this.

Got a call from this number, did not answer, they did not leave message

If you will go to their web-site, contact page - you will find three e-mail addresses.  If everyone who receives calls from them would simply send an e-mail to all three addresses with REMOVE in subject and your phone number, they will go away.  They will be inundated with e-mails.

who r these people they r calling me dont they wonder y i dont anser

I received a call from this number 503-279-8993.  I am fed up with persons that call and do not leave a message.  It would be nice to know who is calling and what they want.

I do not know what company is this.  I read on your site that it could be a collection agency.   WHoever they are they are rude and inconsiderate.  I do not have debts and they have no reason to call me.

I requested health insurance quotes via the internet.  I spoke to someone, and said no thank you... I had individual coverage earlier this year and know the options available.  This person straight up gave me false information about coverages, I am an insurance agent and have a god understanding of the available coverage.  I'm opting to go back to the broker I used previously.  I didn't receive any phone calls until an hour ago... since then literally EVERY 2 minutes I have recieved a phone call from one of these numbers:  (503) 279-8993, (814) 414-3058, (615) 873-1360, (512) 647-6364, (877) 928-4325, (719) 235-5994, (925) 206-3399.... STOP THE HARASSMENT!!!!
