Call my 86yr.old . Mother worry her and dating keep call I Own money to them I don't they talk about they keep ask for I don't live at thats houses upset my mother 850 627 7722

This has been an ongoing thing. Coming in on my Landline, which I largely ignore. Just a pain to get up and check. I am not behind on anything. In fact most of my stuff such as the Mortgage is on Auto pay. I do keep an eye on my credit reports and they are fine. They do call at various times and the day of the week doesn't seem to matter. Usually as a rule, if I don't recognize the number I won't answer it. There is a phone version of Phishing and they are looking to see if someone is at the number. If you answer, then the fun begins. I deal with this stuff on the computer all the time. For me, it is easy to track them down on the computer, and as a lot here have found out, if you have caller I.D., you can track those as well. You can get a cease and Desist order as has been mentioned. As for the computer, most banks / companies have a Fraud site to report the stuff to. They have gotten very good at Spoofing the Bank / Companies  Letter heads when you open you email. I have found that even the URL can be a bit tricky and requires further digging. Not sure of how that got his number. It belonged to my Mom. When she passed last year, I bought the house from the estate and kept the same number. Collection Agencies use a variety of names trying to be slick. This is just one of them. I know of one that used Credit Adjustmant Board as well.

I have received about 5 calls from this outfit. They always use a different number. They never leave a message. From what I have read on here it is better to just ignore them. I don't think it is possible to get them to listen to you. I made the mistake of talking  to them once and they claimed that I owed over $1000 on a credit card that I cancelled in 1999 which is way beyond the statute of limitations in my state. After some words back and forth I was asked if I lived at a certain address and if my SS number was XXXXX. I replied no to both and the guy said sorry, he would write it up as a wrong number. Still they call. Strangely, they call about every four days, in the afternoon. I have had identity theft problems in the past and the legit collection agencies notify the credit reporting companies, and if they call they leave a detailed message and a call back number. They also listen if you mention ID theft because I think there are laws prohibiting them from bothering you if you have an ID theft case under investigation. At least they are not supposed to call you until the case is decided. It seems that this is just a bunch of bullying crooks.

Portfolio recovery is harassing my family with a new number. They call with and remain silent when the phione is picked up.

Stop calling my office number, jack! I inherited the number from some guy who just died from cancer five weeks ago... I had to look up this number after five consecutive calls without an answer in a 6-minute time period... Really, do your research before blindly shotgunning people's numbers!

I don't know how they did it but the got my cell number and are calling me in Oman. And this is a company provided number so how could they track that down? Of course this debt is more than 13 years old and belongs to the ex. Why they're trying to collect from me I have no idea.

I will follow Cease & Desist suggestion. thanks

Does anyone know the address where to send a CEASE AND DESIST letter?  I am so tired of tellling them not to call but they persist.  This did work years ago but they'are at it again!  Thanks.

They keep calling from this number and several others.  I have no idea what they want since I refuse to answer calls that do not identify themselves or leave messages.  If they are, indeed, debit collectors, they are calling the wrong number since I have no debt - at all.

Lowlife Scammer - do not answer - block caller.

Portfolio Recovery can't be stopped. Only ignored. They call me every day from new States to collect a debt from a dead man. A dead man I've proven to proper people is in fact dead, and they still call. That list of numbers above me is massive, that's about how many I've blocked as well and yet they still call. It has to be against some law's you'd think.

Also the "DEBT" they're trying to collect never existed to begin with. Its from 2004 compliments of "Dish Network" canceling service three months early because they were told we would be moving in three months. They shut off service immediately and sent it to collections immediately. When they had the original deposit and we all went without said service for three months. How is that debt when it was paid up until the day they shut it off and eight years out of contract??? Its not a debt. Also seems like some Stature of limitations has long since passed but what do I know? Apparently nothing. These people are bottom feeders who prey on the elderly. I'm not elderly, not even close. To put a bow on it, never EVER cancel a service until your actually gone and just pay what they say if you want to avoid collection attempts Ten plus years later.

I have had this number about 5 years and they are still calling for the deadbeat that had this number prior to me getting it.

how do you get them to quit calling

Yep.  Another one of their spoofed Caller ID numbers trying to contact me regarding a non-existent "debt" with a company I never even heard of.

this number 205 396 36 19 callme all the time

Calls on 5/8 and on 5/11. Portfolio Recovery. I didn't answer and no message was left. Also called from 858-568-7619 on 5/8.

This number has called me MANY times, never leaves a message, I just don't answer. Thanks to all people who have made a report and for letting me know its from a debt collector. Damn ex-husband who has been out of my house for 6 years now!!!

Portfolio Recovery is the worst - do not try to reason with them - do not answer - block calls - Hang up.

For those of you that do owe a debt DO NOT PAY Portfolio Recovery - treat them the same way they treat others - F - them.
