Place them on the black list or reject list on your phone. That's exactly what i did on my cell phone. the phone never rings. I hear ya, I'm living week to week and if I HAD the money, then I'd damn well pay them the money. Do I like these phone calls heck no, but I can only do so much.
I got a call ON MY WORK NUMBER from these people. They did not leave a message, and they've (so far) only called once. However, *if* this call was a legitimate collection agency, I guarantee you that I have no outstanding debt but MOREOVER, THEY WOULDN'T HAVE MY WORK NUMBER.
Clearly this is a spam call and the fact that they're calling work numbers at a major corporation means I'm reporting them to the FCC immediately.
It's NCO. I know that I owe money on a credit card. The credit card balance owed is $100. The card I owe on was lost or stolen, and I reported it. While I am trying to get the card situation handled, I am continually being harassed by NCO. I have told them that once I receive my bill, and figure out the card situation, I will pay.
After calling my cell phone the immediately call the house phone. I get calls on Sundays, and after 9pm almost every day. I know that there are different time zones, but I thought they were meant to follow my time zone. They call from different area codes, don't leave messages, and are rude. I will pay, but I prefer not to do it with this company.
NCO is known for violating debtor rights. I was receiving calls but no messages from this company from 10 diff #s starting at 5:30 am - even tho I answered many times to tell them it was 5am in PST but my cell phone has an EST area code. I reported the calls in batches to the ftc - after 3 complaints - the calls stopped and they finally sent a letter stating what they were calling for - the walmart credit card - then the calls began again even tho by law I have a right to ask them to stop calling a limited cell phone and have written them the first time stating what the situation is and will not have an update every week unless I win the lottery. I REPORTED THEM FOR THE 4TH TIME TODAY. they also call from private numbers you will find just a few minutes after you don't answer one of their calls. just keep googlling to see if it is them, send them a certified letter from your PHONE NUMBER ONLY with a POB address or else on it (has to have an address) and tell them to stop calling and that you have reported EVERY CALL TO THE FTC AND THAT YOU HAVE A RECORD OF EVERY CALL. i plan to sue them for harassment.
This # calls numerous times of day...never leaving message. I know that I owe money but these calls are constant throughout the day... I'm living week to week
