I can't believe they are calling a cell phone. How can they collect on a bill that was paid for over 15 years ago? Thank God for caller reject. I never answer my phone for unknown numbers or private numbers.
| Bobby 2013-09-04 14:28:34 Unknown |
Yes, I received a call also from them at ph.# 205-588-8181
| Bobby 2013-09-04 14:24:42 Unknown |
That's a fabulous idea! :)
The problem I have with my "Call Forwarding" service is that whenever I leave my home, and if ANY
phone # calls my home ph. #, then it will be forwarded to that one single ph.# that is programmed as the "Call Forwarding" ph. # from my phone. But the description of your "call forwarding" service sounds a bit different. Something more like a "Call Blocking," but instead forwards the ph. # to another phone #. I love that idea and would love to get that service! What's the name of the phone company that provides it since I'd like to subscribe to this service. Wish my phone company had it!
Thanks! :)

Reverse boycott. We can destroy their cost/benefit ratio by consuming their service.
When a company can repeatedly call with the intent of getting money their customers can repeatedly answer or call back with the intent of not giving them any. They need people to pay with as little talk as possible. They don't want to talk with people who know they are never going to pay. Be all talk and no pay. Answer when convenient. Call back. Give no information. Verify nothing. Ask as many questions as you can. Answer none.
Don't ignore/block/report them. It doesn't work. These folks want you to ignore them for as long as you can stand to or until you give them something valuable like money or information. Ignoring them is being their good customer. Sending a cease and desist is giving information. It lets them know you are still alive and remain their good customer. Their legal model is less vulnerable than their business model. Preparing to initiate unlikely individual legal battles is being their good customer.
Be their bad customer. Make them talk to you fruitlessly for as long as they can stand to or until they stop selecting you as their customer. These companies cannot spend seconds much less minutes on the phone with every person who will never send them a dime. But they don't know who that is. You do. That knowledge is power. Every second you can keep their staff on the phone will render their business less profitable giving them a reason to never call you again.
Calling will not reset your SOL. Making a partial payment will.
I like to ask general questions they should but usually won't answer. "May I have the name and address of your agent for service of process?" Calmly and slowly ask them to spell every word in the address. Read it back for verification. Control the pace. If they are rushing then politely ask them to slowly repeat. "Are you a corporation and if so in which state are you incorporated?" Repeat your questions when you don't get direct answers. When they won't answer a question ask, "Would you like to comply with the business and professions codes of your state?" That is usually the point when they hang up on me but if they say they want to comply then begin your questions again.
Repeat while you have the spare time. These folks have many victims and few operators. If everyone calls back but pays nothing the mass auto-dialer business model becomes unprofitable. Don't aide and comfort the enemy by ignoring them. Call! Have a nice long slow friendly chat! Make them hang up first.
Press 2 for Spanish.
For any business, customers who consume the most resources but don't pay (or otherwise add value) become the least desirable. Most businesses will stop (cease and desist) soliciting an undesirable customer. Those that don't stop remain knowingly vulnerable to the actions of their undesirable customers. Few companies can afford to let everyone take a piece of them whenever they want endlessly. For instance they must pay staff to answer everyone's telephone calls which can be placed at your convenience for the joy of it. Call and consume their operator time without paying or giving information. Be a bad customer. The worst customer. Inspire them to invoke their right to refuse you service by not soliciting you.
There are certainly enough victims with unlimited long distance to take down this company so ignoring/blocking seems downright Orwellian to me. Really? We're just going to passively submit and go with a block list or however we manage ignoring an endless stream of unwanted phone calls day after day? Hell no! Unite or remain conquered. Answer/return every call - become well practiced at keeping these folks on the phone - or count yourself not amongst the free.

these people have been calling me on my cell for several years asking for a woman that i never heard of. have told them countless times that im not her and i dont know her. they promise to take me off their list yet the calls begin again every month. if i dont answer the first call, they call from the next number. i use my phone for business so this has become more than an annoyance. Is there any way to make it stop?

You could always give them a number from this site to waste their time www.pleasestopcalling.me

Keep getting calls from various numbers in the Birmingham area code (205). Got a call from this one this morning; they tried to leave an automated voicemail, but since the computer was trying to talk over my outgoing message, I didn't get all of the callback number. Brilliant. I assume it's Portfolio Recovery using a scrambler, since the numbers come back to other businesses in the Birmingham area
Can't imagine what they're calling about, unless they bought my deceased parents' debt and they're trying to get me to pay it. (Coincidentally, that isn't happening.)
Anyone know of a way to block an entire area code?
| amanda 2011-07-19 21:23:41 Debt Collector |
call block all you want guys these are all the numbers i have collected so far. i use callfilter from the android market i love it. they still have to call but they are blocked and i dont have to even hear a voicemail from them :)

Guess what! You don't even need to have a debt for these crooks to call you. I have a very common last name, and I get calls from bill collectors all the time. They troll the Internet phone listings and call ANYONE and EVERYONE with the same last name and first initial. They have access to unlisted numbers, cell numbers as well as the readily available electronic telephone directories. They have now begun spoofing their caller ID return by adding the international dialing access code as a prefix to their numbers. That means that unless your call blocking/forwarding can accommodate 13-digit telephone numbers, you cannot block or forward their calls. This outfit has called me several times looking for different people with my first initial and last name. They most recently called me from 011-205-588-6606. Send them a cease-and-desist letter and file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission.

Keep getting calls from phone number 205-588-8181 and no message is ever left except to call another number...it is annoying and I need to get on a do not call list.

I am going to get an air horn for these clowns. I hope they do sue me since my income is VA compensation and SSDI, which cannot be garnished or attached. I have been blocking them, but the air horn sounds a lot more fun.

| Alex 2011-06-06 20:42:01 Unknown |
They first have to sue you and have a judge rule in their favor before they can levy your account. You would have to be given notice by a process server to let you know that a lawsuit has been filed.
| Sherri 2011-06-06 20:42:01 Unknown |
Malisa Busch left me a message to call her at 866-428-6589. Apparently they do buy OLD debt. Like the kind you took care of 10 or so years ago. I guess they figure you may have forgot about it being gone and try to see what they can get. Very sad thinking there are folks out there paying these bottom feeders not knowing any better.
| anan 2011-06-06 20:42:01 Unknown |
So I didn't know any better and I've already given them $150.00 on an old debt for a credit card i had in 2005 but that portfolio recovery associates purchased in 2007. should i continue paying them?
