APPOLOGIZE FOR MY BAD GRAMMAR ive never been too fond of grammar and punctuation lol.... good luck everyone and happy halloween!!!!
don't know who it is...called for first time tonight..some confusing info above, one says telemarketer and one says collection agency...who is this? I don't need another one of these calls, if you all know what I mean!
Just get a whistle and speak at a low tone telling the person on the other end that you are sick and lost your voice and ask them to turn up their volume and then use the whistle on them and then hang up. Just don’t call them and do that because I don’t know what the laws are. Maybe after the LOW-LIFE get aN injured ear drum then they will stop. 2 months ago I moved and have a new phone number and today is the third call and they don’t know me. Tip…. Go buy stock in hearing aids.
I get this company calling me asking for Tammy Murphy. I don't know who this person is and don't care, but for some reason they keep calling even after I got ahold of someone once and told them that that person doesn't leave here and doesn't have this # as their #. And yet they still call. Sometimes it's just a # in caller ID, other times it's a recorded message at a rare moment that I've picked up without looking at caller ID I get a live person. Wished phone company would do something about their persistant calls.
Generally, the TCPA does not apply to debt collectors making collection calls to debtors. However, if you are subjected to calls from a debt collector and you are not the debtor, you may file a lawsuit against the debt collector under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) and the TCPA.
This right was recently recognized by Judge Legrome D. Davis in a case called Watson v. NCO Group, Inc. NCO Group is a debt collector that uses automated prerecorded collection calls. In this case, Mr. Watson alleged he was getting hundreds of calls from NCO Group after he got a new phone number. Mr. Watson claimed he owed no debt to NCO Group, Inc. Mr. Watson filed suit under both the FDCPA and TCPA.
David Israel, defense lawyer for NCO, argued that the TCPA should not apply to debt collectors. Judge Davis rejected the argument made by David Israel. The judge ruled that Mr. Watson had a right to sue NCO Group Inc under the TCPA for $500 for each call. Judge Davis wrote;
[The] Court is convinced that a non-debtor's rights are in fact violated when he is subjected to repeated annoying and abusive debt collection calls that he remains powerless to stop.
Judge Davis' ruling was based upon his interpretation that collection calls to non-debtors violate the privacy rights provided by the TCPA.
So what can you do if you receive "wrong number" calls from debt collectors?
1. Sign up for the Do-Not-Call registry.
2. Save the calls captured by your voice mail or answering machine.
3. Contact a consumer lawyer.
