Below is a template of the Cease and Desist letter I used to get rid of these fools.  I sent it CERTIFIED and REGISTERED and the calls stopped roughly 4-days after it was sent.  I received the return receipt (as my proof they received it) in the mail about 6-days later.

Re: Telephone Number or Account Number or Reference Number...

To Whom It May Concern:

This will serve as your legal notice under provisions of federal law, the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), to cease all communication with me in regard to the phone number referenced above. If you fail to heed this notice, I will file a formal complaint against you with the Federal Trade Commission who is responsible for enforcement, the States Attorney General office and/or the American Collectors Association.

We have decided that we do not desire to work with a collection agency under any circumstances. We will contact the original creditor to resolve this matter directly, as circumstances warrant.

You are also notified that should any adverse information be placed against my credit reports as a result of this notice that appropriate actions will be taken. Give this very important matter the attention it deserves.


Sincerely,

I just got a call from these people, it went to voicemail and the voicemail said please hold for the next representative ... haha,, yeah right Ill wait.  Thank you samsung for making a cell phone that has a call reject option.  This number is now on that list and will not bother me again.

Called very rude obnoxious and overbearing will not listen to the fact that person there calling on does not live here

Hey, They probably aren't calling for you then. We changed our phone company and had an $80 outstanding debt (with Embarq/CenturyTel). Within a week, they sent us to this horrible place. They never once called my LISTED phone number... they called every in the phone book with my same last name and harrassed them instead. Problem was, I sent a check in (paying it in full), and 2 weeks later  they were still calling everyone. I called and they told me that it takes up to 30 days to process a CHECK!!!?!? WTF... THEN STOP CALLING I told them. She (again) said they took the other numbers out of the system. LOL!!! I tried to look up their number online and instead there are about 60 pages of harrassment complaints. Just saying, you're not alone. ;)

someone who just keep calling and hanging up...dont say anything....

There is someone calling me from your number (434) 533 9030 regarding my mother (Carolyn Fagan).  The woman would not tell me what this involves or give me any information just that it is a debt of my mother's.  My mother has passed away and my father passed away a long time ago.  I cannot answer any questions unless you mail it to my address that you have on file.  We know of no debts that my mother had.  Please communicate with me strictly by mail.
Thank you,

They are only letting the phone ring long enough to get an answer.  If it rings longer it normally goes to a voicemail (on most home phones).  The reason is that they don't get charged by the phone company for the call unless the call "connects" - either a live answer or voicemail.  Since voicemails are normally ignored there is no bang-for-the-buck in having phone expense.

So, to really mess with them... answer the call by answering - don't say anything - thus they have to pay.  Unfortuanately, if they are calling your cell phone - you'll have a minute charge.

they call back to back, first number 281-214-1203, then ironically, another call with a different numbe,4345339030, they can't tell me anything about a debt, wehre it started from, the just say I owe and to pay OR ELSE!  How rude!

I HAVE BEEN GETTING THESE CALLS FOR MONTHS. THE PHONE RINGS ONLY THREE TIMES,THEN HANGS UP SEVERAL TIMES MOST DAYS. WHEN I HAVE ANSWERED I CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT THE PERSON IS SAYING. THEY SOUND FOREIGN AND I HAVE NEVER HAD THEM ASK WHO I WAS. WHEN I HAVE ASKED WHO THEY WERE THIS IS WHEN THE LANGUAGE BECOMES UNRECOGNIZABLE.

ANNOYING! They call and hang up before answering machine kicks on, and they've NEVER left a message. Thanks to the info I've seen here, I will NOT answer when this number comes up on my caller ID...

To stop calls from this company, write a letter to the company's registered agent,

ANDREW SHAFER, in his capacity as Registered Agent for

and demand that they contact you only by postal mail.
Better to use certified mail.

I get calls from this number 10-15 times a day.  I have filed a complaint with the Federal trade commission. They are anoying calls yes.  And it is unfair to me because some looser couldn't pay his bills and they are somehow tracking him to my number and doesn't believe that I am not the guy.  But they are doing it for a reason...  

For those of you out there that owe? Quit complaining.  you're the idiots for getting into that dept.  don't take a line of credit and cry poor me cause people are being nasty. You shouldn't have asked for something you cannot pay off.  If you didn't have the cash for it, you should not have spent it. your a poor excuse of a human to complain about it.  make a payment plan and shut the @#$% up. people cut peoples fingers off for debts owed.  be thankful you don't owe someone like that.  PS  don't give me the lost my job BS cause I was out of work for over a year and made it thought without ever missing a payment- it's called savings and not spending beyond your means.  I blame you for these call you lowlive a$$holes.

I just got a call from this number, they are a bill collector for FingerHut.
Yes, I have a past due account from 12yrs ago, way past the time they are able to collect, don't quote me on that, but in oklahoma that is what I have been told.  Anyway, this lady was SOOO rude I cannot even describe it. I called back and asked who called from this number, they asked for my name and I of course asked them who they were. From there they went on to tell me about my past due account which like I said was 12yrs old. I told them I was in the middle of a disability claim, which is true. Then the wonderful questions, "how are you supporting yourself?" which is NONE of their business. Which I told them, then the next one, which I fine to be so rude. She then asked "well do you have any family members or friends that could help you pay this bill".  Granted, I know this is their job, but they have no business treating people like total crap. What if it was them that was in a bind and became disabled. Wasn't like I saw the future when I got the card. They want their money and they don't care how they get it and how they make the person that owes it feel. I suffer from bipolar/with depression among other things, i know that is off topic, but people like that just add to the depression. Believe me if I could pay my bills I would. I'm blessed to have a fiance'that works. Granted the money he makes pays our utility bills. The economy is bad and I am sure many people are "just" getting by right now.
Bottome line is, I feel it wasn't right for this lady to jump down my throat when I refused to tell her how I pay my bills. On top of that, trying to collect on a bill that is over 12yrs old. Heck I even forgot about it. Oh and the kicker on this whole incident, the amount I owed was a whopping $45.84.  And I just love their comments regarding how this will really ruin my credit. Shoot, it's already ruined at this point.
Sorry for rambling, I just get so frustrated. If I could pay these past bills they would be paid.
Thanks to those who acutally read all the way throuh this post. After that call I needed to vent.
Believe me, I hope those that actually talk to these people, especially the lady I spoke to are able to deal with her attidue and how rude she is. I don't think I have been spoken to so rudely.  Happy Holidays, Kelley

No one on the line when we answered.  Have excellent credit with NO OUTSTANDING DEBT -- so there is NO reason for them to be calling ME.

Calls 14-15 times a day

RPM collections. Bill collectors. If you have a past due Sprint account, that might be why they're calling. BTW, they like to let the phone ring only 3-4 times, then hang up on you.

Call alllll day long every single day! Sometimes they let it ring just a few times & hang up or they will hang up on you when you do answer it! Calling before 8am & after 9pm! Trying now to report them, enough is enough!!!

These people call all day everyday! Rude and annoying.  Calling now as i type this.  All they want is money from you.  They never want to help you.  They act as if they have no clue as what is going on.  They need to be put out of business.  There are so many reports of them out on the internet! Be aware!

This number has called my home repeatedly for several weeks.  Do not leave message. I have no deliquent debt, so I tend to believe they have
other illegal reasons for calling.  Be very wary of them.

Got a call from these boneheads looking for someone named Danny. Told them they got the wrong number and there is no Danny here. If they call again I'll report them to FTC etc.

Been getting these fricking annoying calls from this number,I have no debt issues or anything. I just want them to stop. enough already!!!!!!

RPM calls home and at work.  They say they are debt collectors.  Blocked them on my digital phone line.  They are very rude and nasty.

Just got a call from RPM.  Very rude.  I call them back and then make another call to them.  Once both parties answer, I join them on a conference call.  It is hilarious to hear them talk to each other and get confused.  Why not waste their time so they don't have a chance to waste mine!

No one on the line when we answered.  Have excellent credit with no outstanding debt -- so there is NO reason for them to be calling us.  I have attempted to block their number, so hopefully they can't call back.

After 75 calls, last week, at all hours of the day and night I filed a complaint with the FTC. That worked for exactly 2 days. Today they've called 25 times and either left no message on my answering machine or hung up as soon as someone answered the phone.
Pond scum has more sense then these people do.
I've now filed a new complaint with both the FTC and my states Atty. General's Office.
