First of all, a Better Business Bureau rating means nothing. Anyone can pay a fee to join.
I just got another call from these people - who I have told numerous times to remove my name from their list. I told the guy that "if he calls this number one more time, I will come thru the phone and rip his balls out thru his nostrils, can I make it any clearer?"
Oops. I meant 9:18am on Thursday, 01/22/2015.
When I looked further on the internet, I found: MPower Communications Corp. Redondo Beach, CA
(When I originally "looked up" I got "Matthews Pierce & Lloyd", Commercial Debt Recovery and Accounts Receivable Management. However, when I went back (to mycallbots, after looking at the "Matthews..." link), I could not recreate the "Matthews..." link. When I went to the "Matthews..." link, the number 310-698-1823 was nowhere to be found.

Federal law (FDCPA) requires them to send you a letter within 5 days of their first contact that contains their name, physical address, the creditor’s name, and the amount of the alleged debt. It also must contains “mini-miranda” telling you that it is an attempt to collect a debt and that all information will be used for those purposes. The one other important thing that this letter must also have in it is that you have a right to dispute the debt within 30 days of the date of the letter and if you do so, all collection activity must be stopped until the debt is verified.
