These imbeciles have started calling me again. I don't answer so I don't know what old paid-off account they have scrounged from the bottom of the dung pile where they exist.
Last time I used the power of the word. I sent letters to: PRAA themselves, as well as the Better Business Bureau of their state and my state, the Attorney Generals of their state and my state, the District Attorneys of their county and my county, the CFO of their city's office of financial services, the government worker of their city responsible for approving business applications to run a business out of their city, the company that owns the building they are in (their landlord), their county public information officer, the Governors of their state and my state, and the local mayor of their city, and enclosed copies of all to the Federal Trade Commission with my complaint regarding their business. Let them know what kind of dirtball company is operating in their city, county, and state and how you feel about that.
In short, research THEM on the internet as they have researched you. Then start calling them, as suggested above by others, and writing them letters until they stop harassing you! It worked for me 5 years ago. Best of luck to you.

This is Portfolio Recovery, a collection agency. http://www.portfoliorecovery.com/
This is 2010, the last bad debt I had was in 1992, they need to get real. 18 years ago, go figure.
Yet another new number for Portfolio Recovery. I've never had a debt go to collections, so I know for a fact I don't owe them anything. I ran my credit score last week and it's over 800 with no adverse entries in over 20 years. I refuse to start a dialoge with these people who are obviously trying to scam me.
This is a number for Portfolio Recovery, my cell shows record that it has called me on 11/20/2010 at 8:44am.
I also have record of rcving phone calls from 731-984-7690, 620-662-8870, 205-423-4020, 757-864-0020, 404-592-4171. They are attempting to collect a debt owed on a cell phone that's bill is over 10-12 years old. Which is WELL past the SOL.
I'm emailing, mailing them, and making a copy of information for my records. If after that doesn't work, I'm reporting them to the MN Attorney General's office.
Receive calls from 443-313-1380/407-347-4014/ 404-592-5171/ 620-662-8870/205-423-4020/731-984-7609/ 910-938-7467...I have NO bad credit or debts. My credit score is in the high 700s. Will change my # if needed.
Just called me, same as above. Paid off original lender years ago. Why start calling me now? Bought and sold four houses in the last 14 years. Credit has never been a issue.
