The caller at this number had my name. The person stated that they wanted to "update my Medicare records". Since I am not, and never have been, on MediCare, I was suspicious. I asked how they got my number, and was told "through MediCare". After I told thm that was unlikely, the person said they would take my number off their list. Sure.

If u receive a call & the person does not want to tell u anything, u do not have to spk with them. Ask them for their address & Co name. All you have to write "cease and desist all communcation too, put your address & whatever ph # you want". Mail it! If you get another call, your rights have been violated! Sight FDCPA & TCPA. If you proceed with it, you could win up to $1500 per violation. Now I'm telling you this only b/c as one of the best collector ever, we do not want to upset anyone. Just collect the money. We don't want to know all that information we have to ask you! What would u ask someone that owes u money? Not all of us enjoy our jobs but we gotta make a living too. U know how this economy is!

Nope my caller ID said GEO Lighting. They asked me if I had health insurance. I said that I did and the woman then asked if it was with Medicare or Csid. My reply was I had no business with her and to not call back.

Calls come in. I don't Answer Unavailable Number or number I don't know, No messages left. and Numerous calls through out the day. Maybe they'll give up... I proved to two previous Collectors it was paid off so now I refuse to go through all that again, So I don't acknowledge their calls!!

They keep calling...I never answer my phone (my battery is dead in one of my cordless phones), and I decided to give my answering machine it's union break for a while. My phone has gotten more action than a gigalo. The only time I use it is to call out on it. If someone ( Family & Friends) wants to call me they know where to call. I do not know if an outside attorney can sue if they are not in the state I live in (Nevada). I also have a cease and desist order on my door forbiding anyone on my property that does not have my Express permission to be there. First A**le that files a lawsuit gets the prize..BK 7. I use to pay all my bills. However..no job, 2 special needs kids..so good luck getting money. If they can find it, let me know so I can pay my other bills too. That was in response to some clown stating what a novel idea it would be if we just paid our bills. Probably Bush because they have not noticed we are in a recession-hence the name deadbeat Loser.

Seems like this number is no longer associated with the above mentioned company.  In fact I have the glorious privilege to have had this number assigned to me.  If you are getting calls from this number for debt or whatever, it is not me it is someone spoofing my number.  Thanks.

Eat S**t and Die Collector

F U ,

Write letters to the Georgia Attorney General and to the Federal Trade Commission

DONT BE LAZY


WRITE LETTERS

send them a copy of this idiot above as well that works for that company

same caller, same scenario, but they left a message in my voicemail referring to: Collection Attorney - Frederick J. Hanna & Associates

So I Google a number, and this is what I find.  Wow, do you people really expect anybody to take you seriously?  A bunch of illiterate, all-caps typing whackjobs ranting on the internet?  Sure the calls are annoying.  Guess what?  You default on a card or a loan, breech contract on a cell phone, skip out on your payments to ABC Warehouse?  Somebody's gonna try to get their money.  You got no job?  Wah.

Losers.  You can read the same crap on every page like this out there on numerous sites, hundreds of numbers, and it's always the same.  A handful of folks getting calls at a wrong number, which is unfortunate, and a bunch of classless societal sponges griping about legitimate - if annoying - calls.  Man up and deal with it, be responsible and accountable.

This is as RIDICULOUS as it gets!  How ANNOYING, RUDE, UPSCURE, and just down right unprofessional can a company get.  It’s been 5-count them 1-2-3-4-5! Years and this jerk of a company keep calling my home, 3-4x a week, asking for someone whose name sound close, but not close enough to mine, talking about so damn debt!  
S**t you got to have a job to occur debt, nothing is free, and not even this harassment is free.
It’s going to cost them their reputation and hopefully their jobs!
IT IS A S-C-A-M!  They’re trying to scare any fool out there who is dumb enough to fall for There CRAP! Obviously they don’t know about the statue of limitation rule (law), because they have long run out in my book (dialing my number for over 5yrs for a missing person).
Well I’ve had A-L-L I’m going to take lying down! I’m standing up for what I know is right and this is not right! I did not threaten them.  I promised them! I would post on the Internet and report them to the Better Business Bureau (BBB).
Now call my bluff! Enough is enough!

(1) the amount of the debt;
(2) the name of the creditor to whom the debt is owed;
(3) a statement that unless the consumer, within thirty days after receipt of the notice, disputes the validity of the debt, or any portion thereof, the debt will be assumed to be valid by the debt collector;
(4) a statement that if the consumer notifies the debt col¬lector in writing within the thirty-day period that the debt, or any portion thereof, is disputed, the debt col¬lector will obtain verification of the debt or a copy of a judgment against the consumer and a copy of such verification or judgment will be mailed to the consumer by the debt collector; and

So you just happened to Google this number huh?  Why?  They must not have called you about a debt if you think so highly of them. Whatever might the reason be????  Ohhhh wait I know!  You are one of the SCUM bags that are trying to make a living off of people who have fallen on hard economic times.  You know it is your own fault that these people are complaining like they do.  Your company and all debt collectors are liars and criminals!  If you want to collect a debt then do it legally.  You people do not provide accurate information about the persons account and then you harass and steal from them.  I don't blame them one bit for not paying your company a dime!  You cannot be trusted!!

PEOPLE NEVER GIVE THESE PEOPLE ACESS TO YOUR BANK ACCOUNT AND GET EVERYTHING IN WRITING!  IF YOU UNSURE ABOUT WHAT THE HAVE SENT YOU IN WRITING THEN HAVE AN ATTORNEY REVIEW IT FOR YOU!!!

Called my husband at his place of business-were rude, rude, rude. Two of them got on the line with him and there were raised voices.

They call all day long with many different numbers.  When you finally do answer they want you to send them a post dated check to settle with them.  That is not legal.  If I don't have the money I am not going to write them a check so that I can be arrested for bank fraud.  They are very rude on the phone and they are very sleezy indeed!

Collection

Got a call from a "Private Caller" telling me that he's has been trying to contact my neighbor across the street without success.  Googled the number and have discovered it is debt collection agency.  What really scumbags to bring the neighbors into this.

threatening debt collector calls my cell phone. Want them to stop calling me.

Easiest way to put these guys out of a job is to pay your bills! I know it is a novel idea that too many in the US don't subscribe to anymore!

Really nasty lady, phone ringing endlessly day after day.  Said they know I have assets, I said, "oh yeah? tell me about them" -
which just got another repeat of "we know you have assets to pay" - I said again "tell me about them, i sure would like to know" then she told me to take out a loan. I said my credit is ruined, how can i take out a loan? If i could repay a loan, i could pay off my credit cards instead." Nasty pieces of work. Scary and intimidating though.

always want to send them a debt verification letter via certified mail

NEVER TALK TO THEM ON THE PHONE

EVER EVER EVER EVER

No it doesnt, its your right and only means to make them show prove or cease.

that is bad advice, you always want to send them a debt verification letter via certified mail
