Portfolio Recovery is corrupt and needs to be shut down by the CFPB
Portfolio recovery is a corrupt debt collection agency that has been busted on multiple occasions by the CFPB for their rogue debt collection practices. They buy old debts with outdated information which leads to them spam calling the wrong person. Not to mention that they also try to wrongly collect fake debts and also try to collect from identity theft victims.
They are also known to be very unresponsive. They fumble whenever someone questions their antics and they resort to asking for personal information over the phone. Just like video game NPCs they read some script that says something like we cant help you if you dont give us your SS number.
Ive about had it with these people. There is absolutely no reason why these *** debt collectors should be calling my household. Theyve been spam calling my home phone for several months now. They would normally call anywhere from once a day to once every other day between 8:00AM-4:00PM. And its always from a different spoofed number with a local area code. With that being said, their call frequency has decreased within the past couple weeks, now they only call anywhere from 2-3 times a week but that is still not good enough. I want them to stop trying to contact my household completely. We have nothing to discuss!
Nobody in my household owes a penny to anyone. So either
A. PORTFOLIORECOV has the wrong number
B. PORTFOLIORECOV are trying to pull a fast one by trying to collect a fake debt.
C. Or someone in my household is a victim of identity theft.
Its highly unlikely that anybody in my household is a victim of identity theft since all our credit scores are in excellent shape, our credit reports dont show any accounts we dont recognize and no creditor/loaner has contacted us about any suspicious activity. So its most likely that portfolio recovery has the wrong number but they are too incompetent and corrupt to even notice or care.
I hope the CFPB puts portfolio recovery out of business, its disgusting that portfolio recovery is allowed to continue practicing debt collection when they are a repeat offender that is obviously not interested in following the rules. The CFPB needs to make an example out of Portfolio recovery as a message to all other debt collectors throughout the country.
User's recommendation: If you know you for a fact you don’t owe a debt: ignore and block their calls, report Portfolio recovery to the CFPB if their calls persist.
