412-503-4002.... companies like this buy debts for pennies on the dollar... if you owe a total of $500 and the debt is less than 1 yr old they might've only paid $5 for you account. potentially could buy your account for .02 % or lower depends on the debt its self... this company from what i hear from my girlfriend is garbage... do not pay them any more than 20% of the debt... PERIOD!!!... ALWAYS REMEMBER PAY YOUR DEBTS... JUST BE SMART... THE OLDER THE DEBT THE CHEAPER IT IS FOR THE COMPANY TO BUY IT... HENCE THE LOWER % YOU SHOULD BE WILLING TO PAY!! good luck with these "people".
Here's the best way to stop the calls. If you have an address on them, send them letter directing them to cease all attempts to communicate with you and warning them that if they don't comply with your cease-communication request, you'll pursue every applicable legal sanction against them. Just be sure to mail it via *certified US Mail with a return receipt request*, and save a copy of your letter. If they contact you more than once after receiving your cease communication letter, then they are breaking the law and subject to fines for each incident.

They've called my home 6 times in the last 90 minutes (once so far as I'm writing this). They usually let it ring two times and hang up -- not even long enough for the answering machine to pick up. When they do leave a message, it's "Can I speak with *blah blah*..." and they sometimes throw in a sarcastic remark at the end. Real classy.
This # started calling me @ 5:30 PM & each time when I answered they hung up on me. After about the 7th time it happened I called back & they were looking for someone I've never heard of
Just got ANOTHER call from this #. This time they were there when I answered. I told the guy that I just talked to someone & told them they had the wrong #. He said it will take the rest of the day to get out of thier system. I asked if they would be calling every 5 minutes for the rest of the evening. He just said again "it will take the rest of the night to get out of the system" I hung up on him. I know it's not his fault but I am trying to make dinner. I don't need the constant interuptions
