I think if your debts are no longer valid, then the process is to contact them and in some certain way, demand that they send you in writing, proof that their collection attempts are for a valid debt. If they cannot do that, they have to drop it and leave u alone.

you keep calling the number i have now but your calling for the old owner of the number. wish you take me off the call list and stop usuing my minutes.

Phoned 9:18 pm. That's at night. Most of us are trying to sleep, most likely.
So why not send me the bill, for crynoutloud, in the mail? Like a mentsch?

THEY LEFT A MESSAGE THAT THEY WILL SETTLE MY DEPT FOR A LOWER RATE IF I PAY.

They keep calling my number and let it ring at least 15 to 20 times. I do not have voicemail so they just let it ring and ring and ring. I answered once to explain to them because I think this is for a past due bill from my ex girlfriend I can't tell the automated caller NOT to bother me anymore, the bi**h is gone. But the calls are non stop. Anyone know how I can get them to stop calling me?

thanks for the info...
I will stated that they are scammers as well...

they call they call - silence on the line
no message BOGUS SCAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Myself as well.

Yeah Lab corp. I do have a bill with them, but like many other bills, can't pay them unless I'm working. Which I am not.

Automated message from Lab Corp of America.  They say it's a private message for whomever and if it's not for you they burden you to call them with the provided infomation to get the calls to stop.
That's bad enough as it is but I get these calls all the time for people with different names.  All of them are spanish sounding names spoken by a computer.  What ever happened to the law that made automatted calls like this illegal?  Maybe businesses are taxed too much keeping them from being able to hire real people. . . wake up Washington!

Calls and hangs up.

Robo Call tape recorded saying "This is to collect a debt, for further information Call (DAMFINO) and give case NUMBER (The hell you say) to see about paying this debt off at  a reduced Price." I'm NOT calling anyone.
Yes I DID have some unpaid debts, I had a stroke, lost my job, and every credit card in existence demanded All debt, plus whatever scam fees they could think up IMMEDIATELY.

But as of today these are 6 years old and long Past statute of limitations, so these a***oles Cannot collect, and THEY KNOW IT. So they hide behind an anonymous telephone, and hope I'm stupid enough to Pay whatever they want. Even though it's Not a Legal Debt anymore.

The Hell with them, they refused to work with me when I needed it, AND tried honestly to Pay, and still want to screw Me NOW,

No way, I consider them thieves for trying to collect an out-of-statute debt, that I tried to pay in good faith, but they only wanted to screw me then, now? you blew a chance to be honest, so I treat you as the thieves  You are Now.

I have lost count of how many times this number has call my phone.  Like a lot of you the person that the recording wants does not live here and never has.  I have not even heard of this person.  Also when they give you the # to call, if you are not the one they want, you cannot understand the whole number.  Have gotten caller ID now.  If I don't know the # or name, if it shows, I will not answer.  I pay what I owe when it is due.  So there is no reason for any Debt collectors to call me.

this # just called me, too... if it's LabCorp, I actually do have an outstanding bill... for a whopping $20... that my children's father was supposed to pay ages ago... lol

Called in mid afternoon but we never answer unknown callers. Other internet searches say it is from CCS Companies or Lab Corp which is a collection place.

First call tonight at 8:30...immediately tried to find out who this was but no luck so far. Found this site showing the same number but still have no idea who this is and I never answer calls from anyone unknown. I will not put up with such calls on my new phone number within six weeks of moving here.

Call made 1:30 Saturday afternoon. Don't know who it is and no message left.

They Call My Barracks Room Number For Somebody That Has Not Been Here (Afghanistan) And It's An Automated Call, My Room Number Is On A Virgina IP System So We Can Make State Side Calls Like Local Calls. This Is Government Phone System And Their Calling At 2230 Hours 10:30 At Night Waking Me And My Room Mate Up And Neither He Nor I Are The Person Their Lookig For. The Number they tell you to call is 888-888-50??

they called me at 3 on a sunday afternoon! that is just crazy if you ask me and i dont even know what for

I screened the call and didn't answer but it appears it was a collector

CCS called using 603-363-1022. - all coming into my home, the callers phone number & name comes on my TV - We never answer calls unless we know the caller -

This number shows as Anonymous Call on my caller id.  Now that I see these posts, it's likely Quest Labs' collection agency trying to get money from me again b/c Quest ignored the primary and secondary insurance information the doctor's office provided wit the original paperwork and that I've mailed, called and/or listed on their website several times.  Now it's untimely filing even if they send in the claim.  Their error is now my credit report problem unless I pay them for the original billed (unadjusted) amount.  Shouldn't this be illegal?!

18 times they've called me; my payment by check was erroneously posted to another Quest account according to Aetna.
Yet they will not stop.
An error on Quest's part does not create an emergency on mine.
