Got a call on my cell from this number, but I wasn't near the phone to answer it. No message was left & the caller ID only gave the number above & "Minnesota." If they're a debt collector, maybe they figured out they dialed the wrong number when they got my recording! We have excellent credit so they probably just figured out their mistake. I will follow up on this post if they call back.

Following up as promised...
I called the number back from our fax line (blocking caller ID).
A live person answered, announcing "Good Afternoon. CPC. How can I help you?" I, of course, hung up.
So, this confirms they are in fact the debt collector mentioned in association with other phone numbers from the same area code/exchange.
I would guess you mean Central Portfolio Control in Eden Prairie, MN, known for runaway skip tracing and illegal tactics. Pestering you was not necessarily an innocent "mistake".
