RPM is the company name they use when you call back.  Probably collections.  Calls at all hours!

Got a call from this number and I do not answer numbers that are not familiar to me. There was no message either. Whoever it is needs to stop.

They call me at least 3 times per day and I don't answer because I don't know the number and they never leave a messge which makes me feel like it's a scam....how do we stop these people.  Someone please help!

These dingalings got ahold of ALL my private lines including my kids cell phones. I dont even HAVE any bills in my name...and now they have my NON published home number...Im so TIRED of the harrasment!

I get approx 10 calls or more a day from a variation of the number.  I don't answer calls from unknown numbers and they won't leave a message.  It is getting rather annoying!  I tried calling the number back and the call won't complete.

they keep calling and calling and then I tried calling back one time to see what it was and was put on hold!!!

This number calls me daily probably 3 - 4 times a day maybe more and at all hours... I never answer the phone and they never leave a message which leads me to believe they really are not legit...

This compamy call me all about credit debt acct that don't have

Yup, just another scum-sucking, low-life collection agency. A bunch of bottom feeders, all of them.

I keep getting calls from this number. They left a message once and the guy was asking for an Angela. I know no one by that name. How do you report them?

Looking for a Rosa Baldwin on my private cell phone #.  Told them they had the wrong person and NOT to keep bothereing me because it was considered harassment!!!

This number keeps calling my cell phone multiple times per day.  Never leaving a message.  This leads me to believe it is a scam.  I am reporting this to the local AG.  Watch out everyone!!!!

They are calling me using the number 301-882-9950, so they must have multiple lines.  I will not answer their calls.

They are a collection agency demanding payment i made the mistake of calling them back to see what it was about the guy was rude arrogant and unprofessional and became nasty and condescending when i explained the financial situation i was in he was demanding payment of 200 dollars a month.  i wont be answering their calls again and i an reporting them with the AG

They call twice a day, sometimes leave a message and sometimes not.  They say they are looking for someone (name) and then they say they are a collection agency. No one by the name they are looking for lives here (although last name is our last name)  sounds like he is doing COKE...always sniffling!   It is becoming INCREASILINGLY ANNOYING!!!!!!!  And we are on the DO NOT CALL LIST!!!!

they also use 7032919039
don't answer the phone

I don't think they are collections at all.  I have been told that there are many many scammers out there who get our information and then pose as collectors to get us to pay them what we never owed in the first place, banking on the fact that we forget debt or get so scared we pay anyway.  Also sometimes when you answer these calls it trips computers to make further calls or do something else with the information.  Don't ever answer a call from an unknown number; if it is someone who is legit they will leave a message that makes sense....be careful!

THIS PERSON KEEPS CALLING MY HOUSE BECAUSE MY SPOSE PAID SOME OF HER BROTHERS CREDIT CARDS WITH HER CHECKING ACCOUNT NOW HE IS FELL BEHIND AND SOME HOW THEY GOT OUR PHONE NO. HOW CAN I GET THEM TO STOP I TOLD THEM NOT TO CALL

This number has called twice looking for someone I've never heard of.  Said they were RPM in New Market, MD.  A possible collection agency ?

this number keeps callin and callin

this number is calling a family members office looking for me? that is a private number and not listed !!

Legitimate collection agencies will always leave a message and contact number along with a reference number.  They will never ask for personal info (i.e. social security number, bank account info, or credit/debit card) and you should NEVER give that to anyone that has called you.  The best thing to do when getting repeated calls and calls during off hours is to file a complaint with the Attorney General's office of your state.  Here is the link that tells you your rights concerning fair debt collection : http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/consumer/credit/cre18.shtm and is very useful.  Also, valid collections are exempt from the "no call list" and also have access to private number lists.  One last thing, you should try doing a google search on yourself.  You would be amazed at the wealth of information available on the internet, such as these posts when you put your full and correct name.  Hope this helps and no I do not work for a collection agency but have had many dealings with them in the past.

Do not answer they love to harass ignore and reject and send to voice mail jerks

I made the mistake of calling the number back the guy was rude arrogant very unprofessional as well as extremely condescending he was demanding 200 dollars a month on a old credit card i had i explained my financial situation he didnt want to hear it i hung up and wont be answering that number again

From Federal Trade Commission Website ? FAIR DEBT COLLECTION PRACTICES ACT
Debt Collection FAQs: A Guide for Consumers
If you?re behind in paying your bills, or a creditor?s records mistakenly make it appear that you are, a debt collector may be contacting you.
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the nation?s consumer protection agency, enforces the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), which prohibits debt collectors from using abusive, unfair, or deceptive practices to collect from you.
Under the FDCPA, a debt collector is someone who regularly collects debts owed to others. This includes collection agencies, lawyers who collect debts on a regular basis, and companies that buy delinquent debts and then try to collect them.
Here are some questions and answers about your rights under the Act.

What types of debts are covered?
The Act covers personal, family, and household debts, including money you owe on a personal credit card account, an auto loan, a medical bill, and your mortgage. The FDCPA doesn?t cover debts you incurred to run a business.

Can a debt collector contact me any time or any place?
No. A debt collector may not contact you at inconvenient times or places, such as before 8 in the morning or after 9 at night, unless you agree to it. And collectors may not contact you at work if they?re told (orally or in writing) that you?re not allowed to get calls there.

How can I stop a debt collector from contacting me?
If a collector contacts you about a debt, you may want to talk to them at least once to see if you can resolve the matter ? even if you don?t think you owe the debt, can?t repay it immediately, or think that the collector is contacting you by mistake. If you decide after contacting the debt collector that you don?t want the collector to contact you again, tell the collector ? in writing ? to stop contacting you. Here?s how to do that:
Make a copy of your letter. Send the original by certified mail, and pay for a ?return receipt? so you?ll be able to document what the collector received. Once the collector receives your letter, they may not contact you again, with two exceptions: a collector can contact you to tell you there will be no further contact or to let you know that they or the creditor intend to take a specific action, like filing a lawsuit. Sending such a letter to a debt collector you owe money to does not get rid of the debt, but it should stop the contact. The creditor or the debt collector still can sue you to collect the debt.

Can a debt collector contact anyone else about my debt?
If an attorney is representing you about the debt, the debt collector must contact the attorney, rather than you. If you don?t have an attorney, a collector may contact other people ? but only to find out your address, your home phone number, and where you work. Collectors usually are prohibited from contacting third parties more than once. Other than to obtain this location information about you, a debt collector generally is not permitted to discuss your debt with anyone other than you, your spouse, or your attorney.

What does the debt collector have to tell me about the debt?
Every collector must send you a written ?validation notice? telling you how much money you owe within five days after they first contact you. This notice also must include the name of the creditor to whom you owe the money, and how to proceed if you don?t think you owe the money.

Can a debt collector keep contacting me if I don?t think I owe any money?
If you send the debt collector a letter stating that you don?t owe any or all of the money, or asking for verification of the debt, that collector must stop contacting you. You have to send that letter within 30 days after you receive the validation notice. But a collector can begin contacting you again if it sends you written verification of the debt, like a copy of a bill for the amount you owe.

What practices are off limits for debt collectors?
Harassment. Debt collectors may not harass, oppress, or abuse you or any third parties they contact. For example, they may not:
    use threats of violence or harm;
    publish a list of names of people who refuse to pay their debts (but they can give this information to the credit reporting companies);
    use obscene or profane language; or
    repeatedly use the phone to annoy someone.

False statements. Debt collectors may not lie when they are trying to collect a debt. For example, they may not:
    falsely claim that they are attorneys or government representatives;
    falsely claim that you have committed a crime;
    falsely represent that they operate or work for a credit reporting company;
    misrepresent the amount you owe;
    indicate that papers they send you are legal forms if they aren?t; or
    indicate that papers they send to you aren?t legal forms if they are.

Debt collectors also are prohibited from saying that:
    you will be arrested if you don?t pay your debt;
    they?ll seize, garnish, attach, or sell your property or wages unless they are permitted by law to take the action and intend to do so; or
    legal action will be taken against you, if doing so would be illegal or if they don?t intend to take the action.

Debt collectors may not:
    give false credit information about you to anyone, including a credit reporting company;
    send you anything that looks like an official document from a court or government agency if it isn?t; or
    use a false company name.

Unfair practices. Debt collectors may not engage in unfair practices when they try to collect a debt. For example, they may not:
    try to collect any interest, fee, or other charge on top of the amount you owe unless the contract that created your debt ? or your state law ? allows the charge;
    deposit a post-dated check early;
    take or threaten to take your property unless it can be done legally; or
    contact you by postcard.

Can I control which debts my payments apply to?
Yes. If a debt collector is trying to collect more than one debt from you, the collector must apply any payment you make to the debt you select. Equally important, a debt collector may not apply a payment to a debt you don?t think you owe.

Can a debt collector garnish my bank account or my wages?
If you don?t pay a debt, a creditor or its debt collector generally can sue you to collect. If they win, the court will enter a judgment against you. The judgment states the amount of money you owe, and allows the creditor or collector to get a garnishment order against you, directing a third party, like your bank, to turn over funds from your account to pay the debt.
Wage garnishment happens when your employer withholds part of your compensation to pay your debts. Your wages usually can be garnished only as the result of a court order. Don?t ignore a lawsuit summons. If you do, you lose the opportunity to fight a wage garnishment.

Can federal benefits be garnished?
Many federal benefits are exempt from garnishment, including:
    Social Security Benefits
    Supplemental Security Income (SSI) Benefits
    Veterans? Benefits
    Civil Service and Federal Retirement and Disability Benefits
    Service Members? Pay
    Military Annuities and Survivors? Benefits
    Student Assistance
    Railroad Retirement Benefits
    Merchant Seamen Wages
    Longshoremen?s and Harbor Workers? Death and Disability Benefits
    Foreign Service Retirement and Disability Benefits
    Compensation for Injury, Death, or Detention of Employees of U.S. Contractors Outside the U.S.
    Federal Emergency Management Agency Federal Disaster Assistance
But federal benefits may be garnished under certain circumstances, including to pay delinquent taxes, alimony, child support, or student loans.

Do I have any recourse if I think a debt collector has violated the law?
You have the right to sue a collector in a state or federal court within one year from the date the law was violated. If you win, the judge can require the collector to pay you for any damages you can prove you suffered because of the illegal collection practices, like lost wages and medical bills. The judge can require the debt collector to pay you up to $1,000, even if you can?t prove that you suffered actual damages. You also can be reimbursed for your attorney?s fees and court costs. A group of people also may sue a debt collector as part of a class action lawsuit and recover money for damages up to $500,000, or one percent of the collector?s net worth, whichever amount is lower. Even if a debt collector violates the FDCPA in trying to collect a debt, the debt does not go away if you owe it.

What should I do if a debt collector sues me?
If a debt collector files a lawsuit against you to collect a debt, respond to the lawsuit, either personally or through your lawyer, by the date specified in the court papers to preserve your rights.

Where do I report a debt collector for an alleged violation?
Report any problems you have with a debt collector to your state Attorney General?s office (www.naag.org) and the Federal Trade Commission (www.ftc.gov). Many states have their own debt collection laws that are different from the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. Your Attorney General?s office can help you determine your rights under your state?s law.

This number keeps calling me on my cell phone and they ask for a person I don't even know. I told them they have the wrong number and to take me of their list to call and they said they couldn't. Please help me so they stop calling me. They called me three times yesterday.

It is a collection agency. I know they work for American Honda I am not sure who else they collect for.

I also heard that if you keep hitting the # it will automatically delete your number from the callers list..is this true?

I keep getting these calls from 301-882-9954 3-4times daily for over a month...I just now answered it and no one was there...wtf..kind of scam is this? Can anybody tell me please!

I have been receiving calls from this number for about 3 months now.  When my cell is turned on the number will call and won't leave a message.  But when they call while my cell is off either some lady or person with a foreign accent leaves a message and tells me to call them at an 800 number.  This number calls on average about twice a day, even on the weekends.  I have not received anything in the mail from whoever this company is, which leads me to believe this company is not legit.
