I answered one time & told them not to call my # again. But they have continued to call couple times a day almost every day.

Called- no msg

Here is a partial list of all of PR's Numbers. I currently have all of them blocked on my Android using WhitePages CallerId app backed up w/Mister Number. I never get bothered anymore from these idiots. When they call it goes to VM never rings and shws that they called in the app. They have called 100's of times on a debt I never had or owed.

Their numbers are listed here: https://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-757-215-2332/2
Here's another 800 Notes thread: https://800notes.com/forum/ta-2a4cf0cd3a9e0dd/portfolio-recovery-associates

I just got a call from this number. Asked for my daughter. When I asked who she was and what she was calling about. She said my daughter's name again. And said I was being recorded.I told her sense she wouldn't tell me what this was concerning and who she was. She wasn't talking to anyone.

Recieve calls from these people several times a day. I have blocked a few numbers as they just call from other numbers. Never leave messages, and invaild number to call back and if you do get through on any of the numbers they call from you are put on hold. Don't verfiy anything with them. I don't answer and I am not going to. Calling about a debit that isn't even mine.

...I hadn't heard from these bottom feeders in months, and now, this one particular number phoned my cell nine times in 10 minutes... blocked.

Just got a call from this number at 8:11am no message call said it was from Virginia? So tired of these scum bags calling me and not leaving a message, if you want to talk to me then leave me a ligitiment message and call back number for me to reach you back at, otherwise STOP calling my phone number!!! PERIOD!!! Ugh!!!

received a call but no one answered

I just received a call but did not answer .why is  it so easy to annoy and scam people but so difficult for anyone to put an end to this????

KEEPS CALLING ME

called cell phone, no message left....figured portfolio ....blocked...

They are the worst.

Scum of the earth debt collector have called me numerous times from a zillion phone numbers.  I keep telling them that I have been divorced and remarried to my current husband for 25 years.  The person they are trying to contact is my ex who is also remarried and living in another state.  They keep calling.  They have to many numbers to block so I finally called and reported them to the Better Business Bureau and the FTC.  They keep calling. I solved the problem.   I no longer answer any calls from unknown numbers, 800, etc.  If it is important they will leave a message.  End of story.

No you didn't solve the problem you are avoiding it and being harassed.  It is good you made complaints. that is a start.  You didn't mention making one to your State Attorney General's Office so you should do that.  Then you need to send them a cease and desist letter by certified, return receipt mail.  You should also go out and get a consumer lawyer and file suit against them.  What they are doing is violating the law in an attempt to locate your ex.  You have a rock solid FDCPA case.

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 1,322 complaints, 3 negative reviews a government action from the State of New York, an alert, and yet they get an accredited B+ rating (down from an A at least but they must still be paying big bucks for that 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:

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.

Fake, no message. Says it's from Great Bridge, Virginia...yay

Portfolio Recovery Associates...They need to stop chasing after people that do not owe any money! They will keep calling even if you are the wrong person. They use lots of numbers to trick you into answering the phone. If you answer, they will not tell you who they are until they know your name first! Do not tell strangers who you are ever! Hang up on them & never never answer numbers you do not recognize! They are very annoying!

Called they left no voicemail.
