For those of you being harrassed, this website is GOLD re: getting rid of overzealous and illegal collectors (for instance, they can't come back to you 20 years after certain debts etc.).
Once on the website, Clark Howard has a ton of very helpful links to gov't agencies dealing with this sort of stuff.
I've gotten a lot of calls from this number recently...no messages, no one there....just calls........I've said this before, I will restate it....perhaps those behind the calling will get the message and learn.....here are my rules:
1.) If you call me, leave a message. If you do not leave a detailed message that includes who you are and why you are calling, then I will not call you back as it is obviously not important.
2.) If it is important that you speak with me, you will call me. NOT an automated dialer of any sort. Pick up a phone and dial my number. I do not "stay on the line" when robo-calls are received.
3.) If you call and we speak, you will be polite and I shall reciprocate.....if not, the call will be ended and future calls declined....I believe that everyone needs to be nice, even if the matter at hand is unpleasant....if you don't like that, don't call me.
4.) If you call and we speak, you shall NOT place me on hold....afterall, you did call me. Put me on hold and I promise I will not be there when you come back.
5.) You will not call me from a blocked number unless you do not want me to answer....all calls must have a valid number that I can call back if I desire.
6.) A failure to follow these rules automatically constitutes a desire for no communication on YOUR part, not mine. As such, it will also constitute an understanding that we have no business to discuss and I am under no obligation to buy anything from you or pay anything to you for any reason.
Pretty simple. If they can't abide by the rules, I will not do business with them.
These people keep calling my cell phone and say they are with Wells Fargo Credit Services. They ask for a person and when I punch the number that lets them know this is not the person, I get a number to call to stop getting these calls. When I call, I get the Credit Services and they want me to enter my accoun number. I do not have credit with them if they are Wells Fargo, and refuse to give them my checking account number, so I hand up. They call sometimes twice within an hour. It's frustratin. When telling them this is not that person's number, they should get the message.

I happen to answer one of these calls to my cell phone one day and they said it was Wells Fargo calling to lower my interest rate on my credit card. Number one: I never pay interest on my card and Number two: Wells Fargo does not call to get credit card numbers over the phone. This is someone trying to get your number so they can use your card. Wish they could be caught and stuck under the jail.
I just received a call from this number. They reached my answering machine and left no message.
I was surprised to see that people above say the call is from Wells Fargo, and especially that it's for collections. It must have been an automated caller, because they called at 5:40 am, which I'm guessing violates some law.
I have impeccable credit and have never done business with Wells Fargo, so hopefully they never call again.
