I just got one of those phone calls, and it made me LIVID! I've been getting them for a long, long time, but since I got another one a few minutes ago, I started thinking maybe my identity has been stolen, so I called it back, since at one time there were two persons in this town with my name. The man who answered wanted my phone number and said if I would give it to him, he would find out who had called me the other times. I was scared to do that. So then he told me, "If you'll give me your number, I'll forward your call. If not, have a nice day." That's when I slammed the phone! So, I won't be answering any more of these kinds of calls. They don't sound legitimate to me.
this call is from RRS - recovery receivable specialists - a collection agency calling for my ex-wife who hasn't lived in my house in over eight years and they are calling a number that i got two years after she left and they refuse to tell me how they decided to call this number since it wasn't a number when she lived here. the person asked for my ex and i said she hadn't lived here in over 8 years and the person hung up without saying a word - very rude. i called them back and told whoever answered the phone that i will not tolerate someone being that rude and if they hadn't acted that way, i'd have been glad to give them contact info but from now on if they call, i'm blowing a whistle into the phone. i've been getting calls from collection agencies for my ex on a very regular basis since she left but lately, they've been from those companies that buy bad debt that is so old it's not legally collectable and the people are extremely rude to try and bully people to pay. i will not tolerate those type people especially since it's NOT MY BAD DEBT!
I get calls from this number at least twice per day. I never answer. It is always for a "monique". In the beginning I would explain that ther never has been a Monique living in this house. Please stop calling. This does no good. I am turining it over to an attorney.

If they are calling for someone else, contact them directly to have your name and phone number removed immediately. If they continue to call, report them to the BBB as well as to South Central Bell for harassing phone calls.
Also, if they continue to call even after doing all of the above, contact the FTC directly to file a formal complaint against them, as they are violating the Fair Credit Reporting Act -
RRS folks are rude and extremely vicious. They've been harassing my mother night and day and she's not a naturalized citizen. Since there is a language barrier, RRS has taken it upon themselves to say that my mother is threatening them and in turn they have threaten us with lawsuits and court dates (which if they say to you, IS ILLEGAL). I've reported them to SEC, FTC, and the Association of Debt Collectors.
If they call and you decide to pick up, record your message and tell them that you are recording the conversation. And if further disruption continues, please file a complaint to as many higher ups as you can.
