757-355-6494

757-355-6494 Portfolio Recovery.  These people have more numbers that we have illegals.

harassing phone calls all hours of the morning

I don't answer unknown numbers, they left no message. Scammers

I am so sick of these lowlifes portfolio recovery calling me at all hours of the day and night, they use a billion different numbers and don't leave messages or speak when i did answer. I block every number they call from. I do not owe any old debts. They are scammers!!

Portfolio Recovery called and informed me that the conversation could be recorded or monitored, I told the caller I was recording the conversation also. She said thank you and hung up.

They called my cell at 9pm last night.  Thought that was illegal?  I never answer the phone of a number I don't know.

Called me and didn't leave a message. Must not be very important if there is no contact info left. Hmmm...

Lol.  So true!

A lot of these companies buy up old debt, sometimes so old you may have forgotten about it. In most cases like that the statue has run out on the debt, BUT admitting you owe it can in some cases actually give them full legal rights to pursue it in court. Not saying anything is the best move. This advice comes from my lawyer, who also happens to be a judge.

Well then he needs to be disbarred and taken off the bench.  the only thing that resets the SOL time clock is a payment.  Portfolio is a criminal debt collector in Western New York.

One has to wonder why an allegedly “legitimate” business has to have so many different phone numbers to call from.

Lawsuit against them:

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.
List of State AG’s offices:  http://consumerfraudreporting.org/stateattorneygenerallist.php
File a complaint at the NY State AG's Office here:  http://www.ag.ny.gov/

Thank you for all this information. Most of the numbers you have listed I have already blocked. They call me morning, noon and even into the late night, Several times a day. and all that it is $172.00 LabCorp bill that my insurance says I am not required to pay. We have played mail tag for months now they just call. My attorney even sent them a letter telling them to cease calling and if they want to talk to call him. He has now contacted the Alabama Attorney General's Office to file a complaint.

Your attorney should be filing a law suit against them.  I count at least 6 violations of the FDCPA at a minimum.  There is also a good possibility they are violating Alabama State Collection laws.  Your attorney might not be the right person to bring these lawsuits, so ask him/her for a reference.

It's funny I told them the same thing & they hang up.

Lmao! You just made my day, I really really really needed a good laugh - not laughing at our neighboring lands or those across the big blue, but the way it was said ... heehee

They're only allowed to call you a certain number of times per day, so my new tactic when they call is to pick up the receiver (or answer the cell phone), then put the phone or receiver face down and  walk away.  It counts as a "connect" to your number, they've gained nothing with that call, and it's a great satisfaction to hear them going "Hello? Hello? Hello?"  hahaha.   I'm not able to block numbers from my cell phone, so I do this instead.

Harrassing, don't know how they got my phone number I've not applied for anything

Debt Collector!

They get your number when you apply for a job through a state or government agency.  That is how they get your number too.

They are what is called a scavenger debt collector.  I can not speak for anyone else but scavenger debt collector's never ever receive payment from me because I do not acknowledge nor am I legally bound to pay scavenger debt collectors.  I never acknowledge the debt and in this case it is over a decade old.

And my credit report is squeaky clean.  They have not filed on it.  Let them.  I will have it removed.
Too bad applying for work means the government sells your name and telephone number to these people.

I can change that too.

This number calls me all times of the day. I don't ever answer and they never leave a message. Very annoyed and want them to stop calling my cell phone!!
