To the idiot of this post! You are stupid and wrote a stupid comment. ...Some people are NOT rich but they work. Your probably one of those people who inherited a lot of money from your parents and their parents got rich off the backs of Black Slaves and cheating people or having folks work for slave wages and they probably can't afford a HUGE hospital bill. Hospital bills over charge people for every little thing. Pull your brain out of your butt and realize, everyone ain't rich and the cost of living just keeps going up and insurance keeps going up, but wages never do. I know people with several jobs and they still can't get ahead....Anyways, calling me on the telephone is not going to get a bill paid. I'll pay my bills when I get the money, and that's after taking care of my basic necessities and my families....I don't mind if a bill collector calls me 100 times a day, that still ain't gonna put no more money in my pockets to send them. They need to wait, and if they can't wait, to bad.

important business mather and nothing else.

Someone called me from 210-340-7737 xt 139 and they were the rudest person I ever talked to.  I do not know who it is and the weird part is that they knew my first and last name and said it was personal.  Creeps me out, nothing is personal anymore.

Preguntan por datos personales, sin Identificarse, creo que es claro que quieren cometer fraude.

I received a call from this number. I was collections for University Medical Center in Lubbock, TX.  I am sure it is for a lot of other accounts, but UMC is who I owe. I told them that I am homeless and jobless, but they said they will keep calling. Since I don't have an income, I told them that they are wasting their time. What a useless group.

Got a call and they hung up. Looks like from other peoples posts that this is hospital bill collectors

They call and say this is an important business call but never says their name   WEIRD

I put them i my 'Spam' folder in Google voice so all they ever get now is voice mail doesn't even rign my phone.  I like others called back (blocking my caller id of course) and the rude woman (note I did *not* say lady) said it was the 'business office' and I said 'that doesn't mean jack to me' she said well then we will keep calling.... Google voice will send her to voice mail *every* time and not bother me...  I guess I'll have to call and laugh at her periodicallly

This collector called looking for someone who has been using my phone number apparently to give to their creditors, and they are not paying their bills, thus I am getting the calls.  First, they were calling for the woman, and now the husband.  I think they owe medical bills.   I told these people there is no one by that name at my number and they assured me they would remove my number from their call list.

This number called my mom's phone, she wrote the number down and then I called it and the low-life, stupid a**, ho on the other end kept asking me for my number and when I told her I would rather not give it out, she said they would just call back and hung up! I was so mad I called back, informed her "fellow employee" (yeah, right! lol) What a C*** she is and asked what it was regarding, he just kept asking me for my number! WTF?! So, yeah. Scam. Kiss my a** f****ards!

Guess I am not sure what liberals and conservatives have to do with your post. I think what most people are running into is the same thing I did. This company calls. leaves no messages and doesn't identify themselves. Even when I called them to find out why I kept getting hangup calls they wouldn't identify themselves, even when directly asked. I certainly don't mind paying what I owe, but I expect some professionalism, and that isn't liberal or conservative, that is just decency.

Get calls at all hours from this number, never answer when I pick up and never leave a message. I am on the do not call list and the number they call is a landline.

I get calls from this number almost daily. It is a recording that asked you to please hold that all
personal are busy. I am not gonna set and wait on a place to get off hold that calls me.

i keep getting calls telling me it's important to call back, when i call back NOONE answers.

My Husband showed me this number today to see if I new it. He then stated that he had gotten calls from that number and all they would do is hang up.

I said hello 4 times before this person answered back.  She wanted to talk to my husband and said he was not here. I asked who she was and she said her name was Jessica.  I asked who she was with, and she said her name was Jessica. (stupid).  I told her if she did not identify who she was with, that I would hang up on her.  She said her name was Jessica.  I told her not to call me again, and then I hung up on her.

I got a call from the 210-340-7737 saying I owe them money for when I was in Baptist Hospital. I have never been to Baptist hospital at all or ever admitted to any hospital.

I received a call from this number.  It turned out to be a billing agency for a hospital where I had treatment.  They were very professional and courteous.  I see that most of the posts here are negative.  I owed the money and it was a debt that was mine to pay.  I paid it off with no problems after making arrangements to do so.  I guess the rest of the people posting here don't seem to think they should pay their bills and that everything should be given to them for free.  I guess the liberals have more time to type than the conservatives.

I got a call from this whack 210-340-7737 number.  I called them back using *67 before dialing their phone number to hide my personal phone number, and asked them where their office was located so that I could come in and make a payment for my outstanding balance. They then asked for my account number.  I told them I didn't know it yet but, I would get it in person face to face when I validate that they are a legitimate company.  They then hung up on me.  

Unfortunately, I previously worked in Wash DC in a Forensic Information Security Officer capacity on the WWW.  Using my experience I have deduced the following information regarding this company.

If you are dealing with University Health System bills, since they are a hospital, you have the legal right to negotiate your bill to something you can afford and pay it off with the hospital directly to eliminate the debt and stop these annoying calls.  That is what I would do, then you can circumvent these chumsucking scumbags.  Remember, knowledge is power...  The collection practices of third-party collectors are directly regulated by the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FCRA) administered by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC).

Call my cell phone and never says anything.

got a call from this number and i could berly understand her she just said I owe like 400 dollars to something and i asked from what and she just kept mumbling, she said i need to pay it now, she was rude the whole time...i have a young voice so she finally said is your parents there I was like no there not, but I'm 21 and live on my own lol...

getting calls from this # but usually dead air. Collection agents have called my # which we've had for 6 years and ask for the couple that lived in the house we bought 1 year ago! That phone number was never theirs!  It's called skip tracing, they see their address and that there is a new phone# attached to it, so they hound the new homeowners/phone owners, etc. and it takes several attempts to remove the #.  biggest beef: if someone is going to call you about "important business matter" then there needs to be someone on the phone when you pick up, not a recording asking you to wait.  that's a huge insult!

The company is called Data Search, a Medical Collection Agency in San Antonio. Several of the people were nice and helpful and then one called David Keith was so rude, I will never send them another payment, ever!! That guy is a total jerk and I hope that company fires him soon.

We are a business and get calls from 210-340-7737 almost every day, like many of you posted, it is a recording. I called the number back today to see what it was and the woman that answered was also very RUDE, I told her we were a business and on the national do not call registry, she said why would a business be on a do not call registry, I told her because we don't want to get unsolicited sales calls.  She then asked for a couple of people, if they LIVED here, I told her again, this is a business, she said she didn't think it was a business and at that point I told her she was wrong and to take us off their call list and hung up.  Does anyone know who these people are????

No more call, please

My son's trac fone (fairly new) has been getting collection calls and text messages like crazy. They called and said thank you for calling and then put us on hold. I called them back and informed them that they are calling a 7 year olds emergency phone and eating up his minutes and they said they would take the number off the list! Arg! Now I gotta call trac fone!! I'm tired of this!

Someone called saying it was a "personal business matter".  No other information was given. These people creep me out.

Received a call from 210-340-7737. When I asked I was thanked for calling them and asked me to please hold since all available advisor where busy.  The call was cut off before anyone answered.

this phone number is from a collection agency who's main client is university hospital. The collection agency name is

They are part of the scams that university hospital pulls on sick people who go into their emergency room. I was very sick and in extreme pain and went there for help. The only thing they did was take an urine sample, blood test, blood pressure, and pulse. I already had a urine test and blood sample that had been done three days before but they would not take it. I had to stand a whole seven hours i was there trying to see a doctor and get help as there were no open seats. University hospital called me back one time after the blood and urine test for what they called a re-evaluation. In reality what it is is to keep you there long enough so you will finally realize that you will never get the medical care you need. Then after you leave in about four weeks you will receive a bill that is not even broken down for $589.00 for in my case a blood and urine test.

Even if you try calling university hospital you will never get a person to go over this scram bill - just a computer voice.
