cap one / nco - PUT ME ON YOUR DO NOT CALL LIST !!!.
my 5 month old cell number which i have never given out means i cannot be the party you are looking for and FDCPA says you cannot tell a third party about anothers debt - which is too obvious when you call TOO OFTEN and refer to an important business matter..
(federal DNC list only applies to telemarketers. not collectors, political, or charities -
why not a DO NOT CALL PERIOD LIST ???)
i have never given my cell phone number out. i just got it in march 2011. they filled up my voicemail with hold music twice when i left my cell phone off (what i there was an emergency in the family ???) when i left my cell phone off. if i reject call they dont leave message. and i start my outgoing message with SIT tones. havent had a message in my cell voicemail when i not answer cell phone. in fact i have a ringtone that is silence. every now and then i see if someone IMPORTANT called. nope. just them. much more of this and i will get my cell phone number changed. i only use it for outgoing calls..i dont want to call from other than a pay phone and i cant find one anymore to tell em that there is no way the call is for me (in fact one caller asked for jah-el sp? ... not me !!!).
i think, according to the FDCPA, it is illegal for debt collectors to call cell phones as it makes the amount owed higher having to spend cell phone $. basically it is making the debt more without going through proper legal channels, which is a no no. so tell them they are calling a cell phone and you think they are in violation of FDCPA since its costing money to talk to them.
btw: Once a debt passes beyond the statute of limitation in your state, a debt collector no longer has the right to sue you for payment. You may still have a moral obligation to pay back an old, forgotten debt, but you can't be sued over it. Any debt collector who threatens to sue you over a debt that is beyond the statute of limitation in your state is in violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA).
It's NCO, they're in Connecticut; they've been calling me for two months straight. They're a collection agency, and it is a robocall. They are totally illegal and have been fined many times, but they continue. I don't know why; I don't owe anybody anything and I can't figure out what they get from this harassment. They are part of Capitol One, the credit card company, so I suggest you boycott Capitol One, if you can, I don't have one of their cards, so this is just plain harassment for no reason except I returned their call once and told them to stop. DON'T DO THAT! You'll never get rid of them then, because then you're in their system.
I have heard the only way to stop them is to send a cease and desist letter by registered or certified mail. But then they're likely to just call from one of their other numbers. You can also have the number blocked, but that is at your expense. There really ought to be a law that requires phone providers to allow you to block these kinds of harassment calls at no charge.
And believe me, it is hard to abide by the "watch your language" rule on this site when describing these lowlifes. There is hardly a word that is adequate that doesn't violate the rule. they are simply the worst company out there.
I received a call from this number as well. Funny thing is I received the notorious Mike Matthews 210-892-1134 phone call as well the same day, aproximately 1:48 minutes apart. Is there there an affiliation!!!!!!!!!
