Do with this information as you will. It is all public knowledge if you know where/how to look. I do know that if FMA does not stop calling me for fictitious debts Mr. Janakes will get the opportunity to explain it to me personally. I anticipate a short conversation.
They call 2-3 times a day, never leave a message. I answered on 2 different occasions, but all they would say is I owed $500+ dollars, but wouldn't tell me what the bill was for. Just said I needed to pay it, right then, no questions asked. I pay my bills, ALL OF THEM, so I was concerned about why they felt I owed so much money, but again... they wouldn't/couldn't give me any additional info. I hung up on them both times and refuse to answer anymore of their calls.
I have repeatedly told this company, I believe to be FMA , that my son is not here and this is not his number. I tell them this when I talk to a person and apparently they do not listen. They pretty much call every day several times. I told them that my son is not staying here at the moment and that my address is given because he does get his mail here. They continue to call by a recording, asking if this is the adult homeowner or if this is John press one, two if time is needeed to call him to the phone and 3 if this is not John. I am so sick of these calls. If they want to send him mail I will give it to him when I see or talk to him. No matter what you tell these people the do not give up. I have records showing times they call.
I've been getting these calls about once a day every day for the past week or so. They sometimes leave a message, sometimes not. I wouldn't mind except I have a prepaid cell phone plan so I waste minutes deleting their messages so they don't fill up my voicemail box. It's mildly frustrating at this point but I'm not going to let it make me mad (that's what they want). They're just identity thieves masquerading as a collections agency. A legitimate collection agency wouldn't conduct their business this way. If they don't tell you at least whom they're collecting for, that's a big red flag right there.
I got a call from this 281-670-1540 this morning. It is a Houston,TX number - local to me. I called them to get them to quit. They're FMA Alliance a debt collector. They are trying to contact the guy who had the phone number before me. I've had this number for three years. The lady who answered just absolutely had to get her questions answered her way - was I ____ or do I know ____. The answer to both is no, and she said she would remove the number from their call list. Gee, I hope so, but it usually takes at least three attempts to get them to quit.
