PRA Group debt collector calls—what to do next!

The caller identified themselves as a debt collection agency

Over the course of two weeks, numerous calls were received from this number, culminating in a message for an unrecognized person, allegedly from Annabell at PRA Group Canada, a debt collection agency.

Over the past two weeks, I have received 14 calls in 9 days, and 4 calls in 2 days, from this number, with the caller finally leaving a message for an unknown individual, claiming to be from a debt collection agency, which I believe is a scam.

PRA Group, a third-party collection agency, is associated with this number, as they collect debts on behalf of the original creditor.

I too was having simmilar calls, to my cell and landlines, they were attempting to contact somone else, but it didnt seem to matter to them, pritty weird

A debt collection issue arose despite faithful payments being made every two weeks in an attempt to resolve the matter, and now the situation has become even more complicated.

A call from this number resulted in a request to verify my SIN number, which raised suspicions, and after speaking with three individuals, all of whom were rude and hung up on me, it became clear that this was a scam.

Numerous calls have been made to my parents' number from individuals claiming to be lawyers, requesting to speak with me, which we find quite disturbing.

This agency specializes in acquiring debt that is difficult to recover from banks, department stores, and credit card companies, utilizing aggressive tactics to collect debts that are typically beyond the statutory period of recovery, often contacting numerous individuals in search of the debtor.
