They call here 2 or 3 times a day.  When I answer, no one is ever there!  Getting tired of it

Yes, this may be the company referenced http://www.bbb.org/boston/business-reviews/co ... rwell-ma-42183/

...And be advised, they (the collection agencies) could be here entering into conversation with you here, have that in mind and play your game well to fool them.

One consistence way I have been dealing with is that as soon as I know they are collectors, I just put the phone by a very loud speaker emitting loud music. I mean I turn the volume to its max, letting it blast to the caller's ears. I maintained this and it is now a problem for them. I don't need to say more than hello and as soon I identify the caller, its straight to loud music. I can say, they eventually backed off. I guess the agents who actually do the calls must have complained of the damage effect they are likely going to have to their ears drum.  

Device a way to fight back.    

Calls from this number 416-840-5043 is from a collection agency called EOS SCN or something like that. Every time I get a call from this number, when I pick it up, the line is quiet, nobody is speaking on the other side of the phone. One day, I decided to call the number back and I had a female picked up. I told her that I am getting upset and that I am tired of picking up my phone at home to answer a call and nobody is on the end. Although she was rude, I was patience so I can tell her my mind. I told her they got a wrong number, that the person she claimed they want to speak with does not reside at this address and that my number be removed with immediate effect. She said they will do so with 24 hrs.

I have noted the date and time I had the conversation with the lady. This just happened today Monday, March 17, 2014 at about 12:05 pm. I immedaitely came here to document this just after the phone conversation with them.  I am counting hours and days to see if I will get a call from same number.

These people keep calling me constantly, I no longer answer but they leave a voice recorded message saying to call back and claim they are from a financial institute. they don't seem to know my name and I have no financial troubles so I don't see why they are harassing me but I wish they would quit calling.

 i called and bothered too, i was sleeping in the day so nice and these animals call to disturb me !

Don't call these people back, all these are debts are status barred, uncollected debt through the courts. They buy these debts at pennies on the dollar, just bottom feeders ,

They'll get it off your credit rating.  When you apply to the credit agency for your credit report, never update your phone number.  That's how collection agencies get them.

just put a block on their number...simple

They call for some un-known person and its been going on for 4 years.  I told them nicely that the person they are calling does not own this number.  After 4 years of patience, I yell at them every time they cal land I actually look forward to their call.  I pick it up yell at them and hang up but now they call me everyday.  I guess have to change my number now.

Escort Agency , offering services at 50% discount , they told me they are extremely friendly and offer massages 24/7 , they have a new hires of nice fresh 19 yr olds just came to the country .

They called and didn't leave a message.

Just got this number calling me sayin they work on behalf of collages and university and Ontario government  ...i called back and i would give them my birthday so she hung up on me....

i swear i'm gonna toss out this cell phone
buy another
and NEVER give out my number to anyone i dont know

Called to. Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Left the same message. We have an important message for....... Call us at 1-800--- and reference number etc.

So, this number calls my house all the time, but the weird thing is, every time I USE my phone, they call shortly after, whether I pick up an incoming call or call someone else. Is it possible they have illegally tapped my phone or put some kind of device on my line to know when I use my phone? I am not trying to sound paranoid, but it happens a lot- them calling right after I hang up my phone.

It is ILLEGAL for them to call you at 7am. BY LAW, collection agencies can only call you Mon-Sat 8am-9pm & Sundays & holidays 1-5pm. They CANNOT contact you until 6 days after sending you a written notice stating the debt & their right to pursue it. If you don't have a debt to begin with, THEY CANNOT CALL YOU & HARASS YOU. If you never received any written notice in the mail, THEY CANNOT CALL YOU. The calling times stated above are not based around their business hours/time zone. They apply to YOUR time zone. They CANNOT call you at 7am in the morning, even if it's 12pm where they are calling from. It is ILLEGAL.

What you should do:
1. ONLY IF THEY ARE CONTACTING YOU ABOUT A DEBT THAT IS NOT LEGITIMATELY YOURS OR THEY ARE HARASSING YOU!!! Next time they call, answer the phone & tell them never to contact you again.
2. If they violate any of your rights, call outside of the restricted times or call you after you tell them not to, file a complaint with the police & get your telephone service provider to block their number(s) from calling you.
3. Report them to your provincial Corporate & Consumer Affairs office.
4. If their "lawyer" sends you a letter, file a complaint.
5. DON'T DEAL WITH DEBT COLLECTION AGENCIES. They charge you more than you would have to pay if you settle your debt with the actual company you owe the money to. If it's too late to deal with the original company, it will be removed from your credit record after seven years. Just wait out the seven years & learn how to handle your money properly. You do not legally HAVE TO deal with collection agencies.
6. If they harass you, which they are if they're calling you before 8am, every time they call, DO NOT GIVE THEM INFORMATION ABOUT YOURSELF, just ask for & write down their name, the phone number & the name of the company that's harassing you & HANG UP. Make sure you note the date & time, too.
7. NEVER tell them where you work. They'll call your employer & harass your employer about your debts. It's happened.
8. NEVER tell them what bank you deal with.
9. DO NOT discuss your finances with them.
10. If you DO decide to pay them the money, use a postal money order. This keeps them from getting your banking information.
11. DON'T TELL THEM ANYTHING!!!
12. They have no rights whatsoever to obtain your information. If they are calling for someone you know, simply tell them that they don't live there (only if they actually don't) & that they have not given you permission to distribute their phone number, especially to people you don't know for unknown reasons. If they're calling for someone else, they're not supposed to tell you WHY they want to speak with the person.
13. They CAN sue you for the money you owe. However, it is a VERY lengthy process. Also, by the time your debt is purchased by these vultures, the damage is already done to your credit score. It will be on there for 7 years whether you pay the damn money or not. The chances of them suing you are pretty slim if the debt is less than $1500.
14. If they DO decide to sue you, they still might not win the court case.
15. They CANNOT seize your assets or garnish your wages unless a JUDGE orders it.
16. When they DO sue, they need permission from the company to whom you ACTUALLY OWE THE MONEY. Like I said, it's a VERY lengthy process that takes months to YEARS.
17. Take anything they say with a grain of salt. If the amount they say you owe doesn't add up, DON'T PAY IT.

I hope that helps you & others. I have them calling my house all the time. It's annoying.

scum of the earth these guys call at 7am every day

An infamous collection outfit well-known for using rude and sneaky tactics bordering on the illegal.  I tried a decade ago to deal politely and rationally with them, but received only abuse in the most ignorant way imaginable.

They try to collect on debts that are no longer theirs to deal with, lie about who they are, and basically ignore the facts in order to bully people into paying.  There are websites detailing the devious dealings of Nor-Don.  The new trick is to say they 'represent' the government about student loans.  Bull.  It's always best to deal with the government directly to make repayment arrangements.  Even when those arrangements are in place, Nor-Don will use false names to try to collect for the same debt.  They will not ever stop bothering you.  Ignore them anyhow.

I think there is something wrong now that they are calling saying its the government and that we need to call some 1800- number ....

This company called me on a cellular which is private.  I have no idea where they even got the number.  I have no phone number that is listed to me and neither is the cell number.  When I called back the number the machine tells me they are NCN.  I think I will have to change the number.

received harassing calls from this number on my home answering machine.  I have reported this call, as there tactics are threatening and illegal!!

I also have received harassing calls from this number on my home answering machine.  I have reported this call!

This is a collection agency that uses borderline tactics to get people to return their call. When leaving a message, they often misrepresent themselves. Do NOT speak with them as they secretly record calls (without disclosing such or receiving permission) and use shady tactics to collect debts that are not, in fact, owed.

I got a call from them like Catherine - an old boyfriend's Visa but he doesn't live here anymore.  I too would have helped her locate him except she sounded so old and nasty.  Kept saying she is gonna keep calling me too!  Don't know why... not my debt...just a waste of her time.  You're right, just hang up if they can't communicate properly without the squeek.

Read your Province's limits.  I believe in Alberta they cannot collect this if it is over 6 years old.

Have told them I am not the debtor - too bad - he left them this number - very rude and said she would keep calling me - this is suppose to make me care???? I will just hang up.  Told her she can't contact him here now.  Too bad she wasn't a bit more pleasant without the fake voice thing that collectors think sounds authoritative rather than squeek, squeek ha, ha, ha,  I might have helped her.  Don't know why they practice that voice - to be fair I probably would sound that way if I had to squeeze my commission paycheques from the unfortunate in this recession.  They are the  Bottom feeders guys - you do NOT have to talk to them at all - just hang up.

They keep calling and said they were selling something for Bell, but other times tell me to call there number or they don't say anything, just hang up.  I have asked them not to call and they don't say who they are
The number is as above

its Nor Don which is a collection agency, they called cause of a really old student loan that wasnt settled
