They never leave a message.

Statute of limitations to collect a debt is around 7 years. If someone gets a hold of you after that and you admit to owing any money, it RE-validates the debt. Just an FYI to people that do have old debt. There are companies that buy old files and re-institute the debt collection that way.

They keep calling asking for someone I do not know.

If these people can send out 1099's and deduct the full amount from their legal tax bill, I am going to send them MY receipts and deduct the full amount from MY fake bill! They can submit my receipts along with their fake receipts and, VOILA! The IRS will have to pay them Millions.

This is an awesome idea, if they can do it, then so can I..... and I think a judge will get a big chuckle out of it when they decide to find in favor of the defendant when these schmucks try to take us so called "deadbeats" to court. If it works for them, and they base it in law, then so can we!

I give full permission to copy the above in any form whatsoever for the express intent for any user to post under every phone number this company has, or any other skumbag collecter you feel needs a wake up call! Copy this too.

These people are also calling my Unlisted phone number as well on a past the statue of limitations bill where the original company went out of business so I also did some investigation and here is also what I have found

Is a debt collector contacting you about a debt that you think is past the statute of limitations? If so, that collector may be violating your Fair Debt Collection Practices Act rights and may be liable to you for statutory damages of up to $1,000, plus any actual damages suffered, plus attorney fees!

please someone stop this company !!! do not leave message ever!!

Portfolio Recovery Associates are going to be profiled tonight on NBC at 10pm EST. The owners have felony convictions! Their tactics are detestable.

They call my store every day, a lot of times.
I hate the call from this number.

This number belongs to Portfolio Recovery Services.  According to the message they leave on my phone, they are attempting to collect information on a debt. They call me 4-5 times a week, looking for family members of my ex-husband, whom I've been divorced from for 10 years!  I've told them repeatedly that I haven't spoken to or seen these people in years and to please don't call again.  They don't listen.  It's always a different person that calls every time, but from this same company.
I don't know how to keep them from harassing me.

Just pretend that you are the person they are looking for, they are going to keep calling anyway, so why not have a little fun! Tell them you promise to send a payment but your (sister, brother, etc.) has power of attorney over you. You do not have access to any credit cards, checking accounts or cash whatsoever because you have been ruled unable to handle your own finances. Just screw with them from there and see where it goes. I bet they hang up first, but keep them on the phone as long as possible (without laughing) so they are not able to bother other people.

Here we go again, another week of annoying "no message" calls from this bunch of knuckleheads. Wish I saw the above post earlier.

Called on a Sunday evening at 6:30 P.M.
Isn't that illegal, calling on a Sunday?

play with these people they need it

dont be annoyed have fun

yes i think its illegal but it fun

They call everyday starting at 8am and don't stop until after 6pm and this has been going on for atleast 2 months  Today I finally answered and they asked for a person that I didn't know...I then asked them why they keep calling and they said they are trying to collect a debt.  I then informed then that I was in the middle of a sex change...(which is a lie) and I couldn't take their call....hopefully they never call again!

This number keeps showing on my caller ID. This bunch a [***] are now calling at all hours9even at night) The county DA says,"nothing his office can do about it" How can this be? Where is the teeth in law enforcement. I don't have a clue why this is happing!!!! I see there is an address to mail what?

This is a place of business. They don't have permission to call.
