It doesn't matter if you owe money or not, if you are the right person or not, if you talk to them or not, if you try to resolve over and over again or not, if you are angry or not, if you are abusive or polite, it doesn't matter. They will call you for ever - year after year after year. It doesn't even end if you pay them. The creditor places the account with the next agency using the same collection software and the calls continue.
The "Do not call" list is powerless to stop it - they're exempt.
Bankruptcy doesn't stop it - the calls continue even after your Trustee serves them notice.
Your lawyer can't stop it - they'll ignore his or her letters.
Legislation won't stop it - they already randomly violate Regulation 103/06 of the Collection Agencies Act.
Hundreds of Complaints haven't stopped it - there's little effective enforcement.
This is an industry that only continues when they get some people to pay. - That's the money that sustains the calls. So, when you get the first call from any debt collection company - it's time to make up your mind to never pay ever - no matter what. Pass the word through all social media - tell everyone not to pay. When the money stops the whole industry will be gone. That's when the calls stop.
Refusal to let this industry exist starts with a few, becomes a movement, and will ultimately succeed. You have the power - Pass it on.

Whoever is on the other end is very ignorant and not professional. Try to explain the situation and he hangs up the phone on your face. If you're trying to collect money from people act professional and have some damn respect!
I agree with poster above, do not pay especially if it's a scam for your money. They been calling for well over a year told them to take me to court still nothing but phone calls.
