Portfolio Recovery - TV News Item

I caught this news item about just how sleezy Portfolio Recovery is. This is not a long clip and worth checking. One victim contacted their local news and that is where the story picks up.

On thing that is mentioned is that PR seemed to be contacting people about the same debt and debt amount, over and over. Not even trying to make a connection between the people and the alleged debt. Everyone was told they owed the same fictitious amount over a debt that was years old. It is possible the number of people contacted in the Maricopa, AZ area was as high as 20,000.
That is both lazy and sleezy!

Haven't we been reading about the sleazeballs at PRA for a decade or more?

Too bad their main office wasn't in northern Altadena, like my good friend's workplace was.

Yep.  Used to do call backs and my standard reply to posts wondering who was calling was, "Portfolio Recovery; nasty group, nasty reputation."

Thanks for posting B.  This will be a good report to put up for anyone dealing with PRA.

update:  just posted your link to a thread with PRA call.
