5103551780

the company calling if you are able to grace them by calling them a company. is portfolio recovery.  A collection of scum bags who buy items that are past the honest collection date for cents on the dollar and try and harass you until you pay them.  What they are doing is just inside the law. they have been calling me from last June and let up for a while and then come back at you.  They have at least 50 different numbers from all over the United States.  My best advise is do not answer your phone.  Do not pay them for any reason you just fuel there flame. They are not honest and should not be allowed to be in business. Start a log and when you have had enough start a case against them.  You can find someone who will take this and will collect when you win.  You will win.Sooner or later they will be forced out of business.  Then there employees can stand on a street corner and do what they are best at.

They are a collection agency. They usually handle what is called "zombie" Debt. Zombie Debt is debt that is so old that they cant sue you they just bug you.

Harrassing calls day and night

they just called me about my ford motor credit account...that account was charged off in 1996 when my car was repoed!!!  15 yr old account?  REALLY?  I How can they even do this???  How can they re-open a closed account?

apparently they monitor credit reports and when we apply for things they snag our updated information & start hounding us.  they have no leg to stand on unless you attempt to pay them.

another call from these people. i stoped answeering any area code

They started calling me about 3 months ago.  2 calls daily for me.  The want me to pay 300% on a 11 yr old debt.  Drop dead!  They even tell me they are going to "note a refusal to pay" but the calls will continue.  Whatev!

All the calls that are showing up from different locations (at least 30 of them) are all coming from 1 place... Norfolk, Virginia.... home of Portfolio Recovery. Portfolio was recently bought out by Capital One and now have what's called "skip lines" in all or most of their nationwide (Capital One) offices. A "skip line" is nothing more than call forwarding. A computer in their Norfolk home office dials a specific designated number, at say, a Capital One office in Oakland, California.... upon receipt of the call, it is automatically forwarded to your number in, for example, Atlanta, Georgia. Your caller ID shows it as Oakland, California. This is done to create the impression that all kinds of different creditors are calling you.... when in fact, it's just one... Portfolio Recovery..... out of Norfolk, Virginia.

They buy debts after the statute of limitations runs out and think they can get your money.

These people call me many times during the day. When I see on my Caller ID a city and state. I know it's them. I can't believe all the numbers that they use. I think that they just buy those numbers thinking that people won't understand. WAKE UP! I'm not stupid! I bet that all these phone go to a phone bank that is in one place.

thought at first this was a stalker playing tricks on me since his sister lives in Alameda county. Turns out it is a debt collector stalker. Does not leave a message. Don't answer

You are so right. I saw this call showed up on my ID at 8:35 am Central time. Oakland is 2 hours behind this time.

If you do talk with them, do not admit that it was your account because admission will reopen the account.

they called me at 953 Eastern time and i asked the lady "i thought telemarketers wasnt supposed to call after 9pm"? and she said its not after 9pm, your in TN right its 853 there. I said well apparently they will let any ignorant person be a telemarketer since apparently you cannot tell time. She quickly hung up.

they have  been  calling  me  too, Portfolio,  its  been15 years , the debt is  only 60  bucks, I  can block their calls,   but  cant  block  the  mail.... any  ideas?  I  think they  have  a  postage free envelope to  make  it easier to  send  back,  I  going  to  stuff it  with  other junk  mail  and  send  it   to  them,  they  will  have  to  pay for what  they  think is  a  check....

Good advice. I have changed my cell phone greating to the standard greeting say you have reached 666-666-6666. example #'s of course . Ever snce I have remove my personal greeting they no longer leave messages. You would think after 10 years they would give up, but apparently they give these leads to the new collectors. I thought all these [***] , so called banks got bailed out by O'barry, so why they still caling.
