Have received dozens of calls on my mobile phone from 213-261-0003, First National Collection Agency. I called them and explained that I don't owe any debt to anyone. They said I was someone who I've never heard of. I asked them to delete me from their list because I'm not that person. Calls continue.
They are debt collectors. Even if the debt is uncollectible under your state law, that does not prevent someone from calling you forever to try to satisfy the debt. There is nothing you can do about it, so long as their calls are within the legal framework. The law should be different. The only reason you would want to pay, at that stage, is to get them to stop. Don't do it. Don't get made. You have to live with it or get some phone number that they, or a subsequent collector, will never find out about.
Annoying you, getting you to pay, is the nature of their business. Do not bother talking to them. That will only encourage them. I am serious about what I am saying.
This # calls often, I feel this is harrassment. Never leaving messages, calling many times during the day.
How can they say they have been trying to contact you, without leaving a message?
and when we do answer the calls, they don't give who they are collecting for. Asking for my info to give to them.
If they truely are collecting an old debt they should have all of my information to begin with. I believe that
if they really want to collect a bad debt that we honestly owe, they should send a letter to our address, with there contact information, ALL the information of WHO they are collecting for and leave me alone.
I will NEVER do business on the phone again. This is harrassment! I agree with you Nae. Congratulations on your hard work for paying your debts. It's a long hard road, but well worth it.
