I have received a call from this number everyday this week at least three times a day. I answer it and no one talks after I say hello so I hang up. How do I get this number to stop calling me?
I don't suppose they could be calling because they have the wrong phone number, the wrong name of the person they are calling, the debt doesn't really exist, they want to scare the people into paying a debt that never existed except in make believe land, or the myriad other reasons there are complaints on this board about debt collectors? Yeah you're right, it has be because someone didn't pay a bill and owes money. After all bill collectors are both infallible and excruciatingly honest right?
What i really find interesting is the BBB report. On the company web site they say they received an ethics award, but there is no mention of it on the BBB site. In addition, I am trying to figure out how you get an A+ rating with 796 complaints in the last 3 years which included 190 in the last 12 months. Guess they must be paying a ton of money to the BBB.
Wow! Couldn't believe how rude this guy was to me on the phone. He kept asking me to verify personal information and when I refused and said what is this in regard to, he said I should have listened to him the first time. What? You telling me your first name and that this is a business matter, doesn't warrant me giving out all my personal info to a complete stranger. I always pay my bills, I couldn't believe this guy would rather anger me to the point of hanging up instead of being civil. I have never experienced anything like this before. Don't bother answering! I'm done with harassing phone calls! Send it to me in writing!
No they are calling in regard to a fictitious debt, they are not a valid company and are using overseas lines and routing to get personal information. Identity thieves, debt collectors in the US have to identify themselves as such and say that this call is an attempt to collect a debt and may be recorded, it's the law.
