WHO df is this

Anonymous reported this number as SPAM on July 17, 2022

They just called me using a different number. I'll never answer but if you do just ask for legal proof you owe a "debt" [as required by law] and then when they ask you to verify your address, tell them it's their problem if they don't know where you live. Too bad I can't block callers from out of the area code.

Do not answer - Block caller-------------->Hope this person gets it all -- http://kcur.org/post/jury-awards-kc-woman-83-million-debt-collection-case Caller: Portfoolio ******s - Scam Number Call Type: Debt Collector

Welcome to debt collection hell - these people are the worst - once they get your number they will harass you forever using various fake numbers. Whether you owe money or not. The only thing you can do is not answer and/or block number. Caller: Portfolio Recovery = Scam Call Type: Debt Collector

The Felonious illegals that are Portfolio Recovery ASSociates. Number comes up in Covina, CA, but they are not on file, licensed, or permitted in that city, by the city of Covina or the State. PRA are just scumbags that break Federal, & state LAWS, and tread all over US citizens' Civil Rights! They are known for preying on the Elderly with their Phone Scams. PRA uses HUNDREDS of VoIP lines and has been succesfully sued by individuals and states, but the Fed has yet to go after them. FCC & FTC know about them well, but Holder is not interested in stopping them. They are on the NASDAQ and are structured just like a PYRAMID Scheme. Look them up. HQ is in Virgina and they have another parent co. name, Anchorage. They are bad people that prey on the elderly and try to collect on debts that are not Legally collectable. They also have ties with the MagicJack company in Florida - now considerred the MOST CORRUPT STATE in this Country. Welfare and SS and Medical Fraud are number one there. Murders put them at the top, too. PRA has been using Extortion tactics for over 10 years and it has been paying off for the Exec. Board members only - but has paid. Sad.

Dirt Bags!! Spam! Runny poo!

Spam

Portfolio Recovery Services. They are bottom feeding Debt Collectors. They don't care if they are calling the wrong number, they will continue to call. They even called on a Sunday afternoon!

SPAM

They use many numbers!

This is yet another scam number from the pathetic swamp scum at Portfolio Recovery. I imagine a relatively small room, a few servers, and about a dozen (stinking, and poorly dressed) employees sit around smoking cigarettes and watching as a robot autodials millions of phone numbers a day - fishing to see if they can find someone who is a sucker enough to actually given them a dime. They are especially worried now, since it is becoming more and more evident that they, and their ilk, will go down as cretins who fell on the wrong side.

Portfolio recovery bottom feeders

yes, its a spammer

SCAMMERS !!!!!!!!!! call, and they call and call, blocked them ha ha ha

Continues to call. No message. I refuse to answer.

Called several times on my home phone while I was away for the weekend; no message. Just called again, when I answered, they mispronounced my name and hung up.

2 calls this past week. 1st no answer. 2nd time spoke to caller. they identified the party they were trying 2 reach (not me)... then started on sales talk. Asked them 2 stop talking and NOT call again. He 'threatened' 2 continue calling if I didn't listen. I hung up.

wtf??? leave me alone!!!

Two calls only one ring each time.

spam

I have gotten two calls from this number, and no one is on the other end when I answer the phone. Very annoying.

got a call

wasted inquiry

They never leave a message. Hang up when I answer. (I answer because I have extended family and old friends in the 678 area code.)

This person calls trying to collect a debt that has been 0ver 20 years old. What is worong with these debt collectors!

This person keeps on calling my number and asking for someone I don't know. They should find something better to do.

These pepople call my phone# after 15 years, I don't have this. They are really stupid when this has been written off my credit report.and I have good credit. This happened 15 years ago. You would think in these time they could be doing somthing better with their time!

15 different numbers used by same company. I have zero debt!! Paid it all off! I feel sorry that people have to make a living like this.

Marietta Georgia? Who would be caling me from there given I live on the west coast and thats where all of my relatives live as well.

http://statesboro.biz/News/668/UPDATE-2-Debt- ... mers-Again.aspxUPDATE 2 Debt Collector Portfolio Recovery Associates Sending Bogus IRS 1099-C’s to Consumers Again Allen Harkleroad According to Budd Hibbs, a well-known consumer advocate, Junk debt buyer and debt collection company Portfolio Recovery Associates (Nasdaq PRAA) are sending out IRS form 1099-C’s to consumers.The problem is that Portfolio Recovery Associates (and other junk debt buyers) purchase old debts for a couple of pennies per dollar and then attempt to collect the full face value of the debt, even though they paid much less than face value.In my opinion if Portfolio Recovery is sending 1099-C’s to consumers claiming the full face value of a debt, they may be committing fraud on the consumers involved as well as committing fraud on the Internal Revenue Service. In effect they are writing off the full amount of the ‘forgiven' debt’ and in reality only paid a small amount for the debt.Two years ago, we went to a Washington Post reporter who contacted the IRS regarding this matter. PRA must be able to produce some type of valid documents that make their claims credible, however based on their record of accomplishment; they likely have little or nothing to back up their claim.We contacted many attorneys and officials about this, we can expect that the Consumer Protection Financial Protection Board currently being set by Professor Elizabeth Warren will finally address the abuse and force PRA to comply with the law.Demand they send you documents that prove their claim or copies of accounts, signatures, goods provided, services rendered and all other information that connects your social security to their alleged loss.IMPORTANT: Once a 1099-C is issued, the law mandates that the debt can no longer be collected. This includes PRA selling it off to another vulture. They MUST show a zero balance on your credit report and are prohibited from extending the seven-year reporting statute. PRA cannot call you or send collection notices after a 1099-C has been issued. ~ Collectors ExposedIt gets funnier by the minute. Portfolio Recovery claims that they are compelled by IRS Regulations to send 1099-C’s to consumers. However they are quite mistaken about that. Especially the incorrect amounts they claim in the 1099 forms:From Portfolio Recovery’s own website:“A: None, really. The 1099-C is sent to you because the IRS requires that they be issued under the circumstances prescribed in their regulations. We have no other reason to send them except that we are compelled by law to do so. If anything, issuing 1099-Cs is an added financial and administrative burden on us, which we must undertake in order to comply with federal regulations.”  ~ Portfolio Recovery Associates My policy is don't answer any out of state phone number, unless you recognize and want to.  I agree with all of the above people that were called by this number.  Here is a list of numbers that can be added to your list from PRA:204-949-3108205-423-4020205-588-8181212-000-4956215-944-8989239-642-8598404-592-5171407-347-4014410-282-1420412-282-1420440-580-0720443-313-1380484-489-2840510-355-1780513-878-4916602-264-2270602-795-1383604-637-3300 605-782-2890616-608-0982620-662-1492620-662-8870626-209-2241661-673-4507678-265-1568702-410-7069727-637-8527731-215-8010731-984-7690757-321-2508757-321-6271757-321-6279757-321-6280757-321-6281757-321-6282757-519-9300757-847-4539757-864-0020757-961-3544757-961-3545757-961-3546757-961-3547757-961-3548786-206-8643800-427-7142800-473-7994800-772-1413847-678-9710847-791-0193847-994-2540847-994-2544858-346-1184859-918-0780864-268-3762866-240-7530866-658-7508866-691-3568866-887-0973866-891-3257866-940-7640877-275-8236877-749-9731877-803-0008877-876-8723888-218-5212888-543-6072888-772-7326918-442-0320973-947-4806980-939-7534I keep this list (Excel) on my desktop; and keep track of the dates that they call, in case I will need it in the future for legal purposes, if you get what I mean.

I like you! You are so funny yet so right.

Someone just called me from that number. I said hello and there was no immediate response so i promptly hung up. I don't know how to "block" numbers from my cell phone :(  Great!

Portfolio Recovery.  They bug me over a debt from 15 years ago.  Every time I find a number, I either block it fom my home phone, or mute it on my cell.  They just don't ever give up

GOT CALL THIS MORNING.  NO ID ON PHONE, EXCEPT LONG DISTANCE.  DIDN'T ANSWER

Portfolio Recovery...These phantom phone callers wont give up. Will not leave messages, and has started calling my nieghbors as well. DO NOT ANSWER list!

Got call this morning, no message. They also use 847-994-2540.

Illegal stalking using the phone trying to collect old debts..isn't this against the LAW??

You are incorrect.  The statute of limitations on contracts in california is 4 yrs. and had been for as long as I practiced law - 35 yrs.  It runs from the time you first stopped making payments.  4 yrs. later and no payments in between, it is barred by limitations unless, as you correctly indicated, you have restarted the running by making even a small payment.  There is a 10 yr. period for enforcement of a judgment which runs from the date the judgment is first entered.  The period for enforcing a judgment can be extended by filing before the 10 yrs runs to extend the judgment for another 10 yr. period.  If no judgment is entered in a timely filed suit, the 10 yrs. is of no concern.  Just tell them to go f*** themselves if they get through to you on the phone.

I'm not sure who this is but the female aslked if I was interested in a reach around. Told her I was happily married but would keep her number just in case, never know!

Jeeze don't these people ever give up? This makes the 17th time they have called using different phone numbers.

@Bill Collector Avenger:Not quite. I live in CA and I've checked the statutes. The limit was raised to 10 years many many years ago. They can bug you to death about this stuff up until that point.The original company that held the debt is long ago disinterested and won't give a rat's a** if you pay it off once they've sold it to collections. You are correct though, NOBODY should pay these jackals a dime. It won't help your credit rating.In my case, they're on me for a defaulted account that's been dead and buried for 14 years and counting. They don't seem to realize I'm 4 years past the statute of limitations on it. It doesn't even show up on my credit reports anymore, yet these guys have spent the better part of the last 5 years trying to collect on a measly $800. Yes, I could pay the entire thing off right now, but I refuse to suffer the consequences of some mysterious account from my ancient past suddenly returning from the grave.This makes 12 numbers I've blocked from these people btw. Don't they ever run out?

yeah i owe a credit card from years ago and they bought the debt,it comes off my credit report soon so why pay it! plus i did try to pay it but they did not want to nego..... so oh well!

Please have this caller told not to call

I've received calls from different numbers for this company -they never leave a message.  I've called them back, and they don't have my phone number in their database so I can't even have them remove it.I asked the representative, who was very nice and helpful, what my options are if this keeps happening.  She asked which number they called from, spoke with her supervisor who said they would contact their "Georgia" office and have my number blocked.  We'll see what happens.One word if I may, the person you get on the phone is not the person harassing you so "don't shoot the messenger."

I dont know who this is...they dont leave a message

Friends, do NOT, no matter what it takes, do NOT send these idiots even one dollar about an old bill.  Here's why:  The clock starts ticking toward the Statute of Limitations in your favor, making it impossible for them to sue you over the debt, from the date of your LAST payment.  In California, that's four years.   The moment you send them even ONE dollar, that clocks starts ticking all over again.For whatever tiny iota of improvement that payment would do to your credit rating (which is probably already screwed for awhile no matter what you do), the damage it does by re-opening that account to you is devastating.  Let these losers in those boiler rooms making the calls suffer, since they show no mercy toward you whatsoever, regardless of your circumstances.Once that Statute of Limitations is up (check in your own state for the length of time elapsed since last payment) they're stuck with your old bill, and will write it off and reap a tax benefit, so don't feel sorry for them.

I have been getting calls for the past couple of months from these people that show up as "PORTFOLIORECOV"However, neither my husband nor I have ANY debt. We rent a home and own all of our cars. The only credit cards we have are American Express that have to be paid off at the end of each month. So beware of anything they tell you as they are obviously scam artists.I usually let the fax machine grab it, but after so many calls I decided to answer. I didn't let the lady say much and she listened to me yell at her for several minutes before she hung up. I kind i wish I had let her say why she was calling. Oh well.The numbers they've used include:702-410-7069678-265-1568858-346-2240440-580-0720440-580-0720412-282-1420440-580-0720443-313-1380407-347-4014412-282-1420Caller: PORTFOLIORECOV

Calls twice a day 6 days a week. Uses different phone number each time. Never leaves a message.

It's Portfolio Recovery Associates. this is one of over 25 numbers they use.they've called my cell # twice today so far and never leave a message.

this is the 2nd time today they have called me,  I sent it straight to Voice Mail. of course they never leave a message.
