Do any of you know about the FDCPA? You can search for it on google. It tells you what collectors can and can't do when they are trying to get money. They are not allowed to talk to anyone about the debt besides you or your spouse. Collectors can't even call the police or file charges about it or even put it on your credit report. If they even swear at you, they are breaking the FDCPA. Attorneys can help if they are bothering you about debt 877-909-MARK for Mark Carey Law Office I didn’t Pay anything really He’s a good guy.

This # appeared 5 times in my caller ID today at 1:59pm, 2:00pm 2:02pm 2:14pm and 2:40pm. The guy left a # to reach him back, 1-866-803-1801 X1608 and said his name was KC Kelly. I tried to call back so I could harass him, and said the # was being checked for problems. I'd like to know what is so important that he had to call 5 times and he didn't say the correct first name (but is similar) to mine. I don't have a debt issue besides all home related stuff is in another name (not mine). The few bills I have, are paid and current so if he calls like this again, he will be sad he called me. I believe I saw this # pop up in my caller ID at work today also.
This company has called me at my work number 10 times in a 15 mins span last friday. It got so bad that I had to finally answer and when I did answer to told Mr Cofman to NOT call me at work again. Well guess what he called again today 10 times in 10 minutes. when I tried calling him back their answering service said that they didn't have anyone there by that name. So I asked to talk to a superviser which i got her voice mail. I left her a wonderful message telling her that I have reported their company to the FTC and will be looking into harassment charges because it turned out that since i didn't/wasn't answering their calls they asked to the be transfered to my HR department. With in 15 mins of leaving that message I got another call this time from the superviser saying that she was take my work phone number out of whatever file they had and that she will try calling me back later this evening at the alternative number they had to try to work out this matter out without having to get the FTC involved.
message: "This is [Jennifer Freeman (what's funny is that it's a guy...)?-static], call mr young 1-800-748-1849['static']" Staticky, though sounds half-faked. The main 'extension' they give is blocked out by the so called 'static' on their end. Further staging includes phone ringing in background at end of call. Doppler effect on ring.
Intellius lists this as a residential Fulton county, Georgia number.
keeping a digital record. I take my privacy seriously and do not appreciate anonymous callers.
I've receieved a call from 4045230411 over the past week, the individual was leaving a message for me to call their office, but not leaving any details about what it was. So I did a little research and found this site. Then yesterday I received a letter from this company claiming that I owed them money on an account that I had several years, however I immediately remembered that I had paid this account off over 4 months ago with Tate & Kirlin. So today, I called the number, and I found out that this company doesnt seem to like to talk to you when you tell them that they are trying to collect a debt that was paid off. When they picked up I was immediately greeted in a snobbish tone, and as I proceeded to tell the woman that they were in error, I was immediately placed on hold... every 30-45 seconds being greeted again and asked to hold for over 10 minutes, seemed no one wanted to talk to me since I didnt owe them money. After the game of hold-tag, I was then greeted by "andrew" who asked how he could help me, I told him about the hold-tag game then proceeded to tell him about the account, he then asked about a letter of zero balance, which I told him I had one on the way. Suddenly his tone changed with me and I was told "I dont know why your getting called, your account is closed". Shocking and surprising how quickly my account was closed and I should have never been getting phone calls about the account, one they should have never had. Sounds like a shady operation to me, one that preys on the uninformed. If you get a call from them, make sure you find out what account they are claiming you owe them and see if you have paided them off previously, else you might be paying more for an account you have settled a long time ago.
I receive these calls from a collection agency, when I tell them to send the information via USPS and not to call me again the woman becomes abrasive, indicating her "right" to call me.
