This collection agency is looking for the former owners of the repo I purchased from the bank. That's what happens when number is listed. Each call I recieved is date/time stamped on my end.
They called me about a debt that happened back in 1992 that I wasn't even in the country for! I was stationed overseas! So they said they are sending out a letter and I have to write one back saying I wasn't in the country at the time.
301.223.0039 ... Take that. I have blocked those calls through Comcast Xfinity. If they keep calling, I will file a complaint with the State Attorney General (who has already filed multiple suits against collection agencies). I do not know who they are calling to find, as they never answer when I pick up the phone, and they never leave messages. I will find out, and I will do a cease and desist letter. Complain, people, complain! I keep a log of all these calls. ALL of these calls are for people who have had the number prior to us, and we've had it 7 1/2 years!
When/if you do talk to someone, find out who they're looking for, what company they work for, and an address and phone number. Tell them, in no uncertain terms, that you are issuing a cease and desist, as this is harrassment, and the person they keep looking for is not affiliated with you in any way. Then, send a cease & desist letter. Follow it up with a formal complaint with your state's attorney general.
Oh, and keep a whistle by your phone. That's helped, also.
