Expert Opinion

Imagine getting a debt collector call at 8 am from a number you don’t recognize—most people expect such calls after business hours. In reality, Portfolio Recovery Services routinely uses rotating numbers to bypass blocklists, so the same caller ID can appear as a fresh line each time. Let the call go to voicemail; if no message is left, flag it as spam in your carrier app. Register the number with the National Do Not Call Registry and file a complaint with the FTC or your state’s consumer protection agency. If the calls persist, consider a call‑blocking service or a written cease‑and‑desist letter to halt further harassment.
