They don't leave a message at all. I have had a difficult time with staying caught up in bills the last few years, so it probably is something that has gone to collections, but I have no mail or message from them. The only reason I know they have tried calling is because I looked it up reverse phone directory online and came to this site. I just think they will never receive whatever money they want because I have nothing that states what money I owe!!!!
I'm now up to 20 different Portfolio Recovery numbers that have called since my daughter racked up a whopping $500 on a Wal-Mart card that she never paid. Yes, that makes it her fault, but you gotta love their persistence!
Another scam from Portfolio Recovery Associates, even if I had debts - which I do not - why are they calling on a Sunday one call at 9:35am and another at 5:23pm.
Get a caller id block app and a Google voice # so you can have peace and quiet from these scammers.
I received a call from these people for a debt from 2007 that I never knew about until recently (from portfolio recovery) for $117 . (404) 719-4368. Atlanta area code. It was a debt for my husband and I told the woman I would need to talk to him about it and she asked for his number so she could talk to him. I told her no. Then she asked where he was working. I told her that he wasn't, so then she asked me where I was working. I told her I wasn't working. Then she says well what income do you have? I told her that was none of her business. Then she asks me if we could pay a one time payment of $87.00. Jeez!
Never pay a caller any money unless they MAIL you proof that (a) the debt is your husbands and (b) they are legally able to collect said debt in your state. If they refuse to mail proof of debt, then you can tell them that per the FDCPA, they are owed NOTHING.
