Portfolio Recovery Associates, LLC: Let’s Stop Their Harassing Calls Together

Have you had harassing phone calls from a debt collector that calls themselves Portfolio Recovery Associates or PRA?

Their calls begin “Hi, this is Jane Doe, calling to speak with [the mark’s name].” They do not tell you the company name until you are recorded as having the birthdate or social security number of the alleged debtor they are trying to reach.

Portfolio Recovery Associates is infamous for buying junk debt, pennies on the dollar, then using pit bull tactics to convince their marks to pay the alleged debt.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau found that PRA knew many of the lists of debt they purchased were inaccurate, and actually collected on those debts, a high percentage by default judgment.

I filed a pro se lawsuit against Portfolio Recovery Associates, LLC to try to stop them from harassing others.

PRA is claiming that many of the phone calls I remember receiving were not from them.

Here is a short list of phone numbers the calls came from:

(760) 760-9002

(646) 681-3007 

(313) 305-1334

(760) 331-2599

(909) 352-1775

(760) 677-3517

(518) 304-1182

(661)689-5751

(760) 640-3194 

(760) 291-4107

(760) 823-3149

(760) 227-1170

If you received a call from any of these numbers or other numbers owned by Portfolio Recovery Associates, please send an email to bohemian_books@yahoo.com and we can share info.

It is likely that your experience will be interesting and helpful to me, as well.

And please, post PRA phone numbers that you know of in the comments below. They neighbor spoof, so there are hundreds or thousands of numbers, too many to block.
