you cant collect if the debtor is in prison (LOL!)

I got called from this number while I was driving. And it was a voice recording saying something about ACI debt collection, and let number starting with 866 area code. But when called right back, the line was always busy! I called at least 10 times.

So after I got home, I've done some research and find out that ACI is debt collection company, the funny thing is that I don't have any outstanding bills or debts!

I think I will report fraud to Feds on this call.

I have been getting a call from 262-787-4163 and when I answer noone speak??!!
I think now on we should not answer any calls we don't know...

Michael Unities is a debt collector.

they called me and a guy asked to speak to me when i said this is she he said "it is?" then he hung up. when i called back, busy signal. i hope he don't call back.

They call me at LEAST one time a day, usually two, and there is a recording that asks me to hold because my call is important to them...and then they just left me on hold so I hung up.  Usually I don't even answer, but this is what happens whenever I do.  I think it's probably a bill collector.  I have a few outstanding bills.

Why do they call? What do these people gain from the call? Does it have anything to do with wireless access?

when i called i got head!

So far they have called my cell phone twice but if I don't recognize the number then I just don't answer.

this is Helio financial care ... they left a voicemail to call back @ 800-639-6111

No one there when I answer

many times they call me, and i call them back nobody response

This number has called twice today, both times, it dicsonnects immediately upon picking it up. I called it back and the line was permanently busy.

I found out from my mom that for the last month this humber has been harassing her on her cell phone. They call her 3 times a day or more every freaken day. She told me the number never was blocked on her cell until recently. They claimed that I have some unpaid student loans which is total BS because I did pay it off and the other ones are on in grace since I am still in school. I thought I'd google it and came upon this website...I guess I am not the only victim. I guess calling the number won't do crap then? I am really pissed about this. I don't understand why they are calling my mom's number and saying it's for me when they can just directly call me? Can we report this to someone?

OSI is part of NCO Financial. Yes, a Collection Agency.!

this nco debt collector keep on calling.  i will report this to the police very soon.

this crazy debt nco debt colletctor called every time and won't stop.  hope this number reach to the police.

I keep getting calls from this number. Like others, I'm not behind on any bills. Harassment is still illegal in America, isn't it?

Well I do have debts and am currently short selling my house but I am not delinquent on any of my accounts save those on my house which I have notified my lenders long time ago already. We got a voice mail from this number which said it was NCO Financial Co trying to collect a debt. I think this is really suspicious because they did not ask for any particular name and did not say any specific company owed to. If they were legit they would have sent me a letter stating details of their case. they seem to be "fishing" like that "Allied Interstate" that kept calling and won't answer when I pick up so I just ignored their calls and they stopped calling.

We were glad to find this website to see that other people are having the same problem.  We keep getting calls from 262-787-4163 when we answer they hang up.  This has been going on for 6 months, last evening my husband asked who is this before they hung up and they asked for James then hung up.  OSI shows up on our caller ID but we have no idea who they are.  Appears from other messages on this website that they are a collection agency, we have no past due bills and ZERO debt. No reason other than a hoax for them to be calling.

Well, got a call from this number on my work cell.  Something about being a collection agency, gave an 866 number and a person's name.  No real person, just a recording to call back.  I don't know of any law abiding collection agency or broker that would do this.  Obviously they take on different disguises as these posts attest to.  Hope they go belly up soon!

Just received a call from OSI and the guy said he was calling about a "Traffic Violation". When i asked who the violation was for he told me to hold on and hung up on me!!! That's when i Googled the number and found this board.

This number called - when I picked up, a recording started.  Couldn't understand the message - it was garbled.  Something needs to be done about these harrassing calls.  I sure won't answer any more this number.

This number called me today. I know for sure that I don't owe any money. I pay my bills either before I get them online or right when I get them in the mail. This is ridiculous. I would never give my SS# to strangers either. Who do they think they are?

Yep!  Mystery solved!  They're bill collectors.  Look here:

Received call on my home phone early this morning. Caller ID showed it was from OSI 1-262-787-4163 -- I have no idea who this company is or why they would be calling. I gather from other posters this is either one of those collection companies that buys out dated accounts for pennies on the dollar or is quite possibly a phishing scam... Advice: If you are ever asked.. NEVER give your SS# over the phone to anyone for any reason!

They continually call throughout the day/night (on same day) and never leave a message.  They are very annoying as they wait until my answering machine has picked up before hanging up thus using up all my machine.
I don't know what they want as I do not owe them any money!

We recently went through bankruptcy and shortly afterwords was getting phone calls from a collection agency.  I informed them that the dedt was charged off in bankruptcy and with that we got two more calls.  Those calls stopped, but the number I retained and didn't think a thing about it.  Recently that number has come up again and the calls are starting again.  This time I will take it to my attorney.  I have not attained any new bills since the bankruptcy.  

Our goverment has allowed us to become slaves to the financial institutions.  I will not borrow a cup of sugar.  We had credit card debt and without even being late they increased our rate to 29%.  I got mad and gave them everything I had.  I can see them increasing on dedt that is new, but not on existing debt.  The contract is not with them, but it is on you.  Now that the economy is slowing down they want help.  I say let them drown in their greed.  Thanks for letting get this off of my chest.  I am happier now than ever.

They call and hang up before I can answer.

I don't know why they would call me, I am not late on any payments for anything. If I was, I would expect to get a written notice from a company as a reminder before I got a collection agency call.

If it weren't for caller ID, I wouldn't know who was doing it!

It is annoying and I don't know they call me if they aren't even going to talk to me! What is the point of ringing my phone ?

I received a call from a computer at WORK that said they have a call for - and gave my full name and asked me to call 1-888-850-6428. I returned the call and was put on hold.  While holding, the recording said to be prepared to give your social security number.  I don't think so!  The funny thing is... we just got a new phone system with new numbers and I haven't given it out to anyone yet????
