Who’s Calling from 866-202-4468?
If calls from 866-202-4468 keep coming in, they’re likely from Portfolio Recovery Associates, a debt collection agency. While they can attempt to collect a debt, they must follow the FDCPA, which protects you from harassment and deceptive practices.
Have They Crossed the Line?
✔ Too Many Calls?
Debt collectors can’t contact you excessively or at inappropriate times. Calls before 8 a.m. or after 9 p.m. may be against the law.
✔ Threats or Harassment?
They can’t use aggressive language, threats, or intimidation to collect a debt.
✔ Failure to Validate the Debt?
If requested, Portfolio Recovery Associates must send written proof of the debt, including the creditor’s name and amount owed, within five days of their first call.
✔ Revealing Debt Information to Others?
They aren’t allowed to discuss your debt with family, friends, or your employer.
✔ Misrepresenting the Debt?
If they have exaggerated how much you owe or falsely claimed they’ll take legal action, that’s a violation.
Put an End to the Harassment
If Portfolio Recovery Associates has broken the law, you may be entitled to compensation.
