This number continues to contact my husband's cell phone for the someone else. We have told them on numerous occassions that he has the wrong number and today he called and when my husband answered he again told him he had the wrong number, which he noted that he would remove the number (again as he has in the past). 10 min later this number calls my husband back and says that he just talked to my husbands mother in law (which is no way possible, since my mother passed 7 years ago) and that he was a liar.
When I called this number back to tell him that he needs to stop or I would report him for harassment, all i received was his voicemail. His name is Joseph Lane and of course, he does not answer.
This man using the name Joe Lane or Joseph Lane has violated many FDCPA laws and regulations, including but not limited to:
-Contacting family members repeatedly, revealing personal information to them, telling them I will be arrested for fraud, and also not honoring their requests for him not to call again
-Verbal harrassment (personal insults, threats)
-Refusing to provide company name/address
-Not honoring a request for written correspondence
-Not honoring a 'do not disturb' at work request
-Refusing to validate the 'debt' he was/is trying to collect
First of all, when asked for his company name and address, Joe Lane refused to give them to me and said unless I give him my credit card or bank account information over the phone he would not fax or mail me correspondence regarding the debt in question or give his company name or address. He's been calling my place of employment 3-4 times per day, and when I asked Joe Lane to be contacted in writing Joe Lane said no, he will continue calling my work. Joe Lane then hung up on me, and then called back within 10 minutes later to make it clear he was not honoring my verbal request for written correspondence.
I told him that I've never owned a credit card and I would like to see what documents on he has regarding the debt. Joe Lane then began threatening to call my family, my job, recited my social security number, told me that my parents raised a coward and told me that I wasn't a man unless I agreed to pay this mystery debt.
I hung up on Joe Lane and apologized to my employer. I spoke with my father and it appears Joe Lane called him and told him I had committed fraud, and would go to jail unless he gave Joe Lane his credit card over the phone. Luckily he had not done so. I had to calm him down and explain what this con artist/collections agent is trying to do.
I have filed complaints with the attorney general (NAAG.org), the FTC (ftccomplaintassistant.gov), and the CFPB (consumerfinance.gov), and also the local police department in Tonawanda, NY (716) 692-2121. I suggest if he is harassing you or anyone you care about, you should report him as well.
this Joe Lane called my fiance' and it trying to call her sons on this trumped up debt he says that I have---besides the 716-504-6907---he called from a local number also !!
Thanks for the previous post --I am reporting him as soon as I am done here.

This man uses his mother's name and her business to obtain credit and blames it on the company that called him to give him an offer of settlement. He probably told his mom he paid it. He also removed the numbers from his mother's call register. If this guy is a law student I hope he doesn't pass the bar I wouldn't want this guy to represent me he would probably use my information to take my credit or my money. In short if you want to be prosecuted like this guy is use your family's information to obtain credit. Do not get any Morin or moran for an Attorney if he ever passes the state bar.
