Received an automated phone call from Central Portfolio Control today (12/22). Caller ID showed a "VOIP Caller" with a number of 213-221-1503. (Which is a city of Los Angeles, Southern CA # -- white pages.com says the business is located in the City of Los Angeles) I called the 213 # right back, and I pushed the option that would get me to a live human being, someone answered and then hung up on me. I called the number back again, and a Rick Cohen answered. He gave me a "direct line" phone # of 800-801-9746 and said he was there Monday thru Thursday from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. CENTRAL TIME. Interesting, that I got a hold of this man by calling a CA (which is on the West Coast) # and that he says he somewhere in the Central Time Zone. They are looking for my daughter. I told them that the # they called this morning was not a good # to reach her at. I told him that she works during business hours. I called this guy back at his toll free #, and told him that, there is a Cease & Desist Order in place, depending on what "personal matter" (aka debt) he was trying to get a hold of my daughter about, and told him to please honor it, if he found it in the file.
Good for you, but I'll bet his files wont have the cease and desist order in it, and just another scammer. You would have found much more information if you had post the phone number in the search box, if there is no post, by all means be the first to claim the honor, don't be shy, the good that you do will be it's on reward!!!

For some reason they are calling me. I'm sure it's because it's just about 7 years on old credit card. No offense but I didn't tell u to buy the debt. Good luck. I don't have the income to even give it a thought. They decide to purchase old debt. People don't pay because they just say "I don't feel like it". They don't pay old debt because they can't.
Those can be two reasons to avoid old debt, but they make poor defense positions. People might also willfully dodge a debt claim which is invalid or past its "sue-by date", or which is being collected by illegal means. They have better things to do with their money than subsidize lawbreakers.
An account aging seven years is not a common cause for a sudden surge in collection of junk debt. Being near the close of a statute of limitations is far more likely.
Those scum will often sue anyway, in hopes the victim doesn't appear and they'll then win a judgement by default. They can now (attempt to) collect the newly "revived" debt legally. Some (few) states have enacted laws making this harder to do or just not possible and in other states it's ridiculously easy. This is why there are so many of these bottom feeders and why they will still buy and sell debts that are, as you put it, "PAST THE STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS." YMMV & IANAL
