For over two weeks ( today is XX/XX/XXXX ), my husband and I have been receiving phone calls, day and afternoon, and evening, from a company called Portfolio Recovery Associates. Sometimes, it is several times per day. They do not leave a message, or when we do pick up the phone, there is no one there -- it 's just dead space. I have called one of the numbers back ( this company has a lot of different numbers ), and I have gotten a person. This employee of Portfolio Recovery insisted on knowing my name, which I refused to give to her. WE HAVE EXCELLENT CREDIT RATINGS AND NO, NO, NO DEBTS IN ARREARS, EITHER NOW OR IN THE PAST. I told her this and demanded that our phone number ( a land line ) be taken off their list. ( I had called their number, XXXX, prefacing it with XXXX, so they would not see our names in their caller ID. ) She could NOT tell me my name, and I kept saying that several other people had had our new phone number ( before we obtained it, three months ago, XXXX. ) She said she would 'take your number out of our system. '' I said that if she did not, ourlawyer would be getting involved. I know that I will be getting more calls from these unethical people. I have read horror stories about this company and others, who harass people such as us who DO NOT HAVE ANY DEBTS IN ARREARS!
