679-265-3904

Calls my job. They don't say anything when you answer. Did *69 and it tells you that your last call was from 679-265-3904.

Another call from Portfolio Recovery. Need I say more?

Did you send them a certified, return receipt debt validation letter, "not me" or cease and desist letter?  Did you file a complaint at the proper agencies?  Did you contact a consumer lawyer and start a lawsuit against them?  If not, then you need to do that tomorrow morning firt thing.  Here is what you need to know:

PORTFOLIO RECOVERY ASSOCIATES AKA PRA

I have to wonder why an allegedly “legitimate “business would need so many phone numbers to call out on?

Web page with contact information:  http://www.portfoliorecovery.com/contact_us.html
Make sure you read how they just lost an 83 million dollar lawsuit against them:  http://www.kansascity.com/news/local/article21073359.html

Make sure you read how the NY AG spanked them bad on May 1, 2014 in the following BBB page.

BBB page with 1,308 complaints, a government action from the State of New York, an alert, and yet they get an A rating?  http://www.bbb.org/norfolk/business-reviews/d ... olk-va-51000164
Bizapedia has them as a Delaware Corporation started in 2007 as opposed to the information on the BBBB page that says 1996:

"PRA may also sometimes make harassing calls and send out threatening letters. In some cases they may have your information by mistake ~ so they are sending the WRONG PERSON collection notices!"

TCPA Class Action Suit against:

Mentioned here among other bottom feeding criminal DC's:

Lawsuit against them:

http://topclassactions.com/lawsuit-sett ... iolations/

They were  listed among the worst offenders on the late Bud Hibb's site!

Federal law (FDCPA) requires them to send you a letter (US MAIL ONLY) within 5 days of their first contact that contains their name, physical address, the creditor’s name, and the amount of the alleged debt.  It also must contains “mini-Miranda” telling you that it is an attempt to collect a debt and that all information will be used for those purposes.  The one other important thing that this letter must also have in it is that you have a right to dispute the debt within 30 days of the date of the letter and if you do so, all collection activity must be stopped until the debt is verified.
Read up on your rights here, get template letters to send and also make a complaint at this government site:  http://www.consumerfinance.gov/
Also file a complaint with your State Attorney General's office.
