Wife got call, left no message. We called the number back, recording thanked us for calling CBCS" and stated there were no agents available to talk to us, to call back or leave a message with our name and account number, summary of the message we left: "We rcvd a call from this number on our cellphone, checked out who it was from on the web, identified it as a collection agency. our name is not needed at this point, if you have a valid debt against us, you already have our name and address, send a hard copy of your claim to us, do not call this number again, or it will be considered harrassment and we will forward it to our attorney for action, and included the number they called." we did our return call on a sunday, we will see....
This is very annoying. I get about 5 calls day up even up to 9:00pm at night. Same thing the other person stated....some recording that you can barely understand requesting someones name an repeating (2 x's) a bunch of numbers. Tired of it!
Got a call with a bunch of numbers. Took me a few to realize they were saying the telephone number to call. But nothing more.
BTW, people... the National Do Not Call list does not apply to collection agencies. But they do have to follow the Federal Trade Commission's Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.
Sometimes they call and leave no message, but when they do they say my maiden name and a string of numbers and they repeat both. I changed my name 3 years ago, so anything of importance should have my married name.
Just received a computer generated call asking if this is (my husbands name) and spelled our last name, then asked if this was the right person, if so to push "1" if not to push "2". I immediately hung up and dialed *69 (our phone company's method to identify a phone number) of course it was 904-722-2265...I did not call back, but did a Google search of the phone number and found this site. Anyone know how to stop these people?
