This is a extremely rude marketing company trying to sell financial service packages. After speaking with a CSR twice and he was RUDE, I asked him to take my name off his list and he told me that I was crazy. I asked to speak to his manager and he hung up on me.
Definately a debt collector... Answered phone just now, actually got a live person who identified themselves as First National Collection Bureau. It was legitimate as they were (not surprisingly) asking for my ex by name and accurately had an old street address of his.
(Gee, sorry..., wrong number, grin. No, I've had this number for 16 years. No, I don't live on that street. Yes, please remove this number from your files, thanks!) Much easier to say that, otherwise when they learn I know who he is, they'll pester for current contact info and/or keep calling ME, even tho he moved out over a year ago, and I loath the calls I still get about every other month from various companies, arrrgh.
This 971-220-9309 number calls me twice a day about every two days. I just called it and got a busy signal. i do not know who they are or what they want. they stay on the line just long enough that my recorder picks up a "message" and yet there is none.
This is the number to a representative of First National Collection Bureau. The woman is a collection agent. Her name and address is listed with sbc telephone land line and she lives in Gresham Oregon. This company, First National Collection has been successfully sued in many jurisdictions for illegal practices. DO NOT send money to FNCB, instead forward a debt validation letter requesting the loan originator and all itemized entries made into this original debt. This bottomfeeding company purchases third party debt that has been written off by the original debt holder and these leeches usually try to coerce people into payment. I advise anyone to dispute their debt with this company and check your credit report for any fraudulent entries. This bottom feeding miscreant will most likely go back into her hole after she realizes that you mean business. If you suspect that this debt is invalid then file a cease and desist letter to this company. What ever you do, you must respond to any attempt to collect a debt. It is against the law to collect a debt by cellphone and if you do your research, you will find that a jury awarded 147,000 dollars against this company for fraudulent communication harassment.
This number has just started showing up on my cell twice a day. Finally called and spoke with a gal who confirmed they'd called me today. I was assigned my cell number 8 yrs ago and I keep getting debt collectors trying to find the gal who previously had my number. I was told every time the file goes to a new collection agency it reverts back to the original number on the file. This has been going on sporadically for 8 yrs now. You'd think they would catch a clue and give up on a number that continues to be a dead end. I have to close my phone to my call list only during these episodes. Good Grief!
