I was receiving several collection calls on almost a daily basis, and it least twice a day from Portfolio Recovery for 3-4 months. The would call my home phone and if I didn't answer, they'd call my cellphone and vice versa.

They never left a voicemail if no one answered my phones. Most of the numbers didn't show a name on the caller ID and I blocked probably about 100 numbers after I asked them to quit calling. I eventually filed a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and they denied the tactics they were using and denied calling from numbers that do not show as them on the Caller ID; they also denied not ever leaving messages if no one answered. They agreed to not only stop calling me, but to stop all communications on the collection.

If others are having similar issues with Portfolio recovery's collection tactics, you can file a complaint on the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Website at https://www.consumerfinance.gov. You will generally receive a response from the company within 15 days; I received the response in 8 days.

So, when do you plan to address the root cause of all these phone calls? You know, pay your bills.

Serial dead beats sure have a way to keep a phone and/or internet on to complain about someone wanting them to pay bills they no longer care about but somehow, they can't settle past debts. Only a dead beat sits around blocking numbers all day. Why I'll bet you jump over to 800Notes to see which of your many bill collectors are calling you today.

Shaking me head. This is the part where you say "you must work for them."

This company should be outlawed! They buy the debt without proper documentation or past statute of limitations! They harass the wrong people or even worse the elderly!Fight the in court, make them prove there case!

Troll much? How about why are they calling me over a debt from someone that no longer lives here and NO I was not on this account so great try with the โ€œif they are calling you then pay your billsโ€ mantra. Enjoy your job at PRC you bottom feeder.
