You need to send them a certified, return receipt debt validation, cease and desist calling, or "not me" letter. You also need to report them to the proper agencies to which I have provided links to. Then you need to go out and get a consumer lawyer to sue them on a contingency basis (no money out of your pocket) and let them pay you for the harassment. If everyone did these three things, these crooks would be bankrupt and we would all be the richer for it.

I have to wonder why an allegedly “legitimate “business would need so many phone numbers to call out on?
Web site lists a cleverly hid PO Box as an address.
BBB page lists them as an accredited business with 450 complaints, 27 negative reviews, but still gives them a B????: http://www.bbb.org/north-east-florida/Busines ... nville-fl-2931/
Facebook page lists one of the head criminals: https://www.facebook.com/dcicollect

Federal law (FDCPA) requires them to send you a letter (US MAIL ONLY) within 5 days of their first contact that contains their name, physical address, the creditor’s name, and the amount of the alleged debt. It also must contains “mini-Miranda” telling you that it is an attempt to collect a debt and that all information will be used for those purposes. The one other important thing that this letter must also have in it is that you have a right to dispute the debt within 30 days of receipt of the letter and if you do so, all collection activity must be stopped until the debt is verified.
Read up on your rights here, get template letters to send and also make a complaint at this government site: http://www.consumerfinance.gov/
Also file a complaint with your State Attorney General's office.

Excellent information that you have provided to people. Absolutely need to send them a C&D for phone calls- statingnonly contact by mail. Do not furnish any information to them- they can try to use that against you. Also- most important- STAY OFF THE PHONE!
