Thank you for your post.  My feelings exactly.

This recording is calling my house at least 2 times per day.  Very irritating and want it to STOP!!

They call 5-6 times 7 days a week, when I answer there is nobody there.  It is a recording that says that they are McCarthy Burgess & Wolff & they have an important business matter to discuss.

My mom has been receiving calls from McCarthy, Burgess and Wolff and they have been harassing her and have been very rude and obnoxious. They call everyday, 3 to 4 times a day.  She is a very sick woman, been in and out of the hospital due to COPD and Pneumonia.  I would like to have to calls STOPPED, she doesn't need this kind of aggravation!!!!  If it doesn't stop, I will call the Attorney General and file a complaint!

They claim that I need to call them to discuss "an important business matter". It's always a recording, everyday,numerous times a day. If it's so important, why can't a "person" call me,rather than have me call them (Long distance)?  Who are these people and what do they want? I refuse to find out on my dime.Get a job LOSERS!

constant calls, sometimes three or four a day,  which I do not answer any more.  but they never leave a  message.

Your caller does not own or maintain this website.  You will have to tell your caller that the bill was paid.

Since many of the people on this thread are being contacted by scammers - per the FDCPA, you should not pay any caller who refuses to mail a debt validation letter - do not accept email or fax - showing that you owe a debt and that your caller has the legal right to collect said debt.  Refusal to mail this DV letter within five days of their first call is another violation of the FDCPA.  It's also federal law that debt collectors and attorneys working as or on behalf of debt collectors comply with the FDCPA, which means that THEY - not you, the consumer - have the burden of proof to show that you owe a debt to them.

My bill was paid directly to the company that you are trying to collect for.  Sorry for the inconvenience.  Please refer to that company ( Designer Checks).  The ref. # was 23628069.  I paid in full On 3/21/2014. Thank You.

This number calls and of course I screen all of my calls because my new number used to belong to a mechanic's business. We used to get a lot of calls for him and they were normally local numbers. Anything unreconizable, would not be answered. The caller ID states: A R Dept Mccart 440-735-5100. I let the answer in machine pick up the call. Hang up, no message left. Maybe they're looking for that guy that used to own this phone number? I am also on the Do Not Call List.

I have told the caller from 440-735-5100 on numerous occasions that I am not a contact for the collection he is trying to perform, I have requested to be taken off the list several times, but still receive several calls a week.  What can I do to get these people in trouble for their harassing methods.  I am sick of people just getting to do whatever they want, don't these people EVER have to answer to anyone for what they do?

I understand I have a debt, and am paying a very small balance (less than $300.00) in monthly installments as per the agreement.  This isn't good enough for "Mister Hot Button".  I get frequent calls prior to the due day asking for payment!  Then... 3 days before the due date, I get harrassing calls from same fore mentioned person about filing suit against me.  COME ON - I'M PAYING AS AGREED!  In fact, I'm paying more than the agreed amount, so I figure this is why he's calling.  He feels I am holding out and can pay the balance.  No, I take my debts seriously, and unfortunate circumstances resulted in default.  I own this and am being responsible, why am I being bullied.  I should just by pass these people and pay the original company, this way they don't collect their fee, that would serve him right!  Then he can harass them for HIS money.  Nothing nice about these people, no matter how they gift wrap it.

people are a pain in the ***  call all the time, never answer, do not answer numbers I don't know  just wish DNC list really worked

I have received phone calls for months.  Then I spoke to the woman. She nor anyone else can tell me where this "debt" of 2,000$$ came from.  No documents not even a company nothing.  She calls me every single day more than once and leaves harassing voicemails.  Ones to where she is actually YELLING.  Now she wants to talk to my boss. ..... My boss is still laughing.  These people are ignorant.  They need to be shut down. This is literally harassment.  What good is it going to do you to call people every single day who do not have the money.

So I get a call from this number saying I owe a credit card service 810.00 I told them I had canceled and closed my business. First of all the bill the credit card company sent me was 149.00 not 810.00. She said everything was going to be recorded I said fine. I told her that I signed up with this company and I was only obligated to 6 months which I did she said send me the contract which says that. I said fine she was going to give  me her email. I told her that I was not going to pay anything and she then said okay and hung up. She never did give me her email.

Why does your 9 year old daughter have a cell phone anyways?

Tape all your calls from them. Free apps on google. They pass accounts from collector        to collector. The collector doesnt put notes on account if debtor disbutes debt,so he can transfer/flip account to someone else. AT&T,Verizion non of these companies provide proof of debts. Their records r a mess. Tape all cobversations then sue them

The BBB has no authority to do anything so filing a complaint does nothing except to provide entertainment for people like me who enjoy reading it.

What you need to do is educate yourself on the FDCPA.  If they are calling before 8am, it is a violation and they can be sued.  I believe it's 1000$ per infraction.

Report them to the BBB, they will stop contacting you. They don't even fight it, they know they are violating the Fair Debt Collections Act by calling before 8am and calling ex-employees about other people's debts.

i received a call on my cell phone from Shelia aty X-2371..she was looking for an old boyfriend. how they had my phone i have no idea. when i asked she said accounts payable..i then KNEW they were trying to present their selves at a law firm. do not call my phone-[removed] ever again. very very dishonest. had me afraid that something horrible had happened.

Unwanted calls an mail they don't know my name letter don't have my name on letter only my address .claiming to collecting money from my cable company . Helllllo if I owed 569 to my cable  why do I have same cable company an I pay my bill every month or I wouldn't be able to watch my tv. Ticked off..must think I'm dumb to call an give u a credit card for bill that u can't even tell me the name on the acct

I pay my bills thanku! They are a rip off company I got a bill owing cable company almost 600 haha dummy's I have had cable 21 years same company ...if I owed it they turned me off long time ago . An the bill had my address no name ..

I used to work for a company that is now closed. I was the main contact for the payroll company and now MB&W call me every day telling me I owe $1000. Every call I explain it was not my account or company and they say they will note the account as such and then next day (even later same day!) surprise, they call again with the SAME bs! Last call I told the lady I've spoken to them numerous times to explain this and she replied "no you didn't you have never spoken to us". Really? Now they're getting sued. I hope everyone does the same.

These idiots just called my fathers home phone and his cell phone.

Being harassed by this company.  Have a wrong number and won't change their records!!!!

Asked that "the owner" of the business call back & give a reference number.

Sounds to me as if the issue with everyone is with the creditor and not the agency. There is never an excuse for rudeness but I know for a fact that collection agencies do not create accounts to be collected on. Creditors send accounts to outside collections. U call their customer service and they tell u to disregard collection activity in the meanwhile they leave your accounts with the collection agency. Pay your bills people......or attack your creditors.

I fist ask them who they are and what its in reference to. If they fail to properly identify and lie about who ther are, i place them on my whistler list.  Whaen they call over and over i give them my whistler welcome by lowing my whistle as hard as i can in phone. Can you hear me now? Stop harrassing,1 call will do and being a debt collector gives you no rt to talk trash to me. Good day!!!

Numerous phone call from McCARTHY, BURGESS & WOLFF

The MCcARTHY, BURGESS & WOLFF, is also harassing me for couple of weeks. They are located in Cleveland, Ohio.
440-735-5100 Adam ext 2381. He couldn't find our business in their system or our phone number. Yet we get an automated call every day several times a day.
Adam said if I could get the code at the end of the message he might be able to help us.
We need to find out why they are calling and if they cannot find us in the database they could keep on calling.
The caller ID says 1-253-348-2667 in Tacoma, WA.

Actually, there is debt forgiveness in the bible it is called the year of Jubilee and every 7 years all debts owed were forgiven! So, no we won't burn in he'll sorry. It was actually the tax collectors of that time that were considered the lowest of society lol!
