These people will not get the hint. They want me to pay a debt that is 15 years old. Couldn't pay Sears back, what makes them think I can pay them. It's aggervating they call all the time multiple times a day even on Sundays! I like a lot of you feel harassed. Every time a new number shows up on caller I.d. I'm afraid to answer. I've moved and changed phone number, they seem to find them. Along with the calls I also receive paper bills from them in the mail. Very frustrating these people are.

Another day, another Portfolio number blocked.

Call in the NSA

Thanks for all those numbers and tips. They are low life people. would love to water board them and throw them out of the country. I know many people who were hit hard by the 2008 collapse caused by politicians, banks, greedy wall street people. These people were good people, not spenders, buying more than they could afford. They lost a lot and are struggling. It's these kinds of companies that piss me off and want to give the the bush Cheney treatment. I will pass this along to those friends. Meanwhile pick up a blast horn and use it when they answer. say nothing, just hit the horn button and hang up.

Wow, that is insane. What they don't know is, I can be more annoying than they could ever wish to be if they don't stop calling.

Portfolio Recovery, now since this is the 4th call. I'll just label them as PRA to save my time from typing their full name every time. 192 numbers!? Wow. I have a question. I read somewhere that if I ignore, and never answer the phone, it means they can sue me? Then I read somewhere else that if I answer, the date of the debt will become new again ( that's if I actually have a debt). Which is true?

Wow, what a list, 192 numbers they own, is it even worth it to pay for all of those numbers???? Thank you for posting this, I have printed out the list, and it is hanging on my bulletin board now at work because this is where they continually call me, now I just answer, don't say anything, and they finally hang up, but I figure it's costing them $$ from the time I pick up to the time they hang up, so that makes me happy.

Every time these bottom feeders "sell" one of these past-statute, written-off debts to another vermin in the zombie debt industry, it does NOT re-age the debt. The reason they are allowed to continue to harass you is because the Best Congress Money Can Buy wrote up the enabling legislation that way. If it is past statute in your state, what these vermin cannot legally do is take you to court over it. Please get in touch with your state's consumer protection office, usually located inside the office of the Attorney General. If you need help finding them, call your state representative's office. Complain to them. They cannot make the calls stop, but here in Pennsylvania they were able to 1) make the vermin identify themselves in the caller ID, 2) call no more than twice in any one day, and 3) I think they also gave them a limit for total number of calls within a month. In addition, they forced Portfoolio to reply to my letter to them asking for verification of the debt, which Portfoolio had been ignoring. A lawyer named Pearson replied in writing and admitted to me that they cannot verfify the debt. He also stated they had "decided to cease collection efforts", but I don't think Portfoolio knows what those big words mean, because that was 3 1/2 years ago, and this was call #496 since then. Sigh. Maybe one day, I will get tired of writing comment to tell others to ignore them, and send them a cease and desist letter.

Whether or not you answer their pest calls does not determine whether they can sue you. To bring a suit against you, the vermin at Portfoolio have to 1) be able to verify the debt, which they probably cannot do, and 2) the debt in question must be within the statute of limitations in the state where you live. Maybe in some states, talking to them on the phone and agreeing that you owe this debt may be a trigger for re-aging it, and allowing them to sue you. But, do not pick up just because it only encourages them. Ignore them. Do not confirm any single piece of information, not even your name. These are bottom-feeding pond scum, trying to intimidate you.

That is just CRAZY! All those number.... well thank you very much for sharing that info, it for sure will come in handy!
