Thanks everyone for the info! Can't wait to stick it to em!

I have been getting calls from these people on my cell - more than a dozen in the past two weeks.  This time they asked for Edith.  When I told them there is no Edith here and to stop calling me, the guy became irate and started lecturing ME about having good manners. I hung up on him.

just got a missed call...no voicemail

thought maybe it was for a job interview i applied for so i googled the number...HA

They called and when I answered there was nothing and then they hung up.  I called back after reading this and I was connected to a white male.  He asked for a Kelly Bridges and I don't know this person so I said I don't know them.  He wasn't rude like anyone else said.  He said thank you and then I hung up. WAs this the right number that everyone else is talking about?

I am glad I googled this number.  They are calling day and night several times for weeks and it is all over a $25.00 bill that the insurance just hasn't paid yet.  The bill is only 4 months olds.  The hospital did not bill the insurance with the correct codes.  I refuse to pay it since the insurance will pay 100% to the hospital but only pays me 90% if I pay for it frist.  YEah it is only $25.00 but it is the point.  Our money is tight.  I have told them ever times about this and I am no longer answering there calls.

they get your # by calling your employer and pretending to be someone else.  Or by calling your PCP (primary care physician) and pretend to be someone they are not.  Either way they are shady bottom feeders.  Thanks for the info on the head of the bottom feeders, perfect candidate for lots of SPAM!!!!!

They called repeatedly leaving loud fog horn screeches on the phone. Very rude, gangster type. It was a bill that I paid months ago online to Reading Hospital. Great choice Reading Hospital!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm switching to St Joe's.

I recently received these calls about 3 x a day. I actually called them back once.  They were trying to tell us we owed money for some service my husband had over a year ago. They told us we still owed for it. I said Im not paying until I see a copy of the bill. The calls stopped for a while, now they started again today. It's Mike call me at 800-220-1622. The number on my caller ID was 610-378-5373. Im not getting into this again.

I have been getting calls from 3 different numbers all with the same phone message. On my cell phone, never the less. I have never called them back but they leave the same voice mail message. This started at the beginning of July and I have had at least 10 calls from them. Today, I had two calls from them. This is the first time the 610 378 5373 called me. The other times were 866 585 1577 and 866 585 1469. Sadly,I have them memorized now. I have even had them blocked by my cell phone provider.  I will be filing an FCC phone scam report.

Thanks for the link to this shady business's website.

They call from 610-378-5373 with a recorded message to call back at 800-220-1622. You call back and they answer with "Business Office". Asking what "business office" is usualy met with rudeness and hostility. Well, here's the company thats calling:

Accounts Recovery Bureau, Inc.
Harry Albert, President
555 Van Reed Road
Wyomissing, PA 19610
Phone: 610-378-5000 x1000
Fax:     610-378-5340

By the way, harry Albert's personal e-mail is: harry@teamkadent.com

Have fun!

Same issue.... Marty keeps calling me at home and at work.  If I answer, they hang up right away.  If I do not answer, they leave a message about how urgent it is that I call back by 7:30 PM TODAY.  When I call, I get a "thanks for calling back" greeting, followed by a long series of rings and then eventually silence.  I think they are just doing a computerized "skip trace", and have no intention to actually talk to me, which is not a legal use of my telephone number in my state.  I sent them an email at webmaster@teamkadent.com that says:

>>>>>>>
I keep getting messages at home and at work to call somebody, and they say it is VERY URGENT.   But I call the number provided, and I never get through to a person.... just a 'thank-you for calling back' greeting and then a long series of rings that eventually just stops.  I googled the number and see it belongs to your company.

STOP CALLING ME IMMEDIATELY.

DO NOT MAKE MY PHONE RING ONE MORE TIME.

I AM REPORTING ANY FURTHER HARASSMENT TO THE AUTHORITIES.

My telephone numbers are:
(XXX) XXX-XXXX
(XXX) XXX-XXXX

Email correspondence on this issue is welcomed, but do not call my telephone numbers any more.
<<<<<<<<

We'll see what comes of that.

If you people paid your bills, we wouldnt have to call. But thank you for giving me a job!
Just so you know, we answer business office b/c we deal with all personal info here, and i highly doubt you debtors would like us to give out your personal information to any deadbeat that calls in! Dont be stupid and just pay your bills.

we get your phone numbers from you dumb people! when you put ur number on a file from the court house or hospital they relay the # to us. dont be so fricking nieve.

When we call and its a wrong # thats all you have to say to avoid anymore calls,but no everyone likes to argue and scream.Were just trying to make a living like everyone else is.If you cant pay your bills just say it instead of us wasting our time and having us call back every week to follow up.And were rude because were calling you pay YOUR bill,and more than half the time we get screamed at for just doing our job.So if people would pay thier bills on time we wouldnt have to call!!!!

PAY YOUR F***ING BILLS THEN YOU DEADBEATS!!!!!!!!!!

I pay my bills.  These people keep calling me and every time I answer they hang up.  I call back and they have a message stating, "Thank you for returning our call, a representative will be with you shortly.  (As though they knew that calling and hanging up would make someone call them back) and want me to give them all of my personal information.  I tell them my number...they have no record of it.  I tell them my name, they have no record of it.  Yet, they keep calling and hanging up on me.  Whack Jobs.  Not a way to run a business.  It is harassment and I think I can now collect an easy $1,000 if they don't stop.

I am forwarding this series of posts to your boss.  You're really a class act.  By the way, get a dictionary.

wont leave me alone...

i have 9 missed calls from this number in the past month. i have no clue who it is. it's getting ridiculous. they called me in the middle of school.

Don't give them your number!  Tell them you know who they are and they will be totally miffed...My suggestion, if you have a debt with a doctor and/or hospital, call them...these people are extremely rude.

This number called me and when I answered the phone loudly they hung up on me. I have no idea who this is or why they are calling me. Besides the fact I have a private number and I have no idea how they got it.

It's a shady bill collector. I got a call from this number at 8:30 am and they hung up on my answering machine. I called the number back and got a recording telling me to hold and someone would be with me. Within seconds, I was connected with a female with a heavy Hispanic accent. I couldn't understand what she said when she answered the call, so I asked who they were, but all she would say was "Business Office". I asked again and she got nasty, wanting to know WHY I was asking. I told her that someone called my house at 8:30 am and hung up on my answering machine and I wanted to know who it was. She then mentioned my name and said something about a hospital that I have never been treated at. I told her that and she then mentioned my husband's name, but he has only been treated there once and that was a visit to the ER about 12 or 13 years ago. The bill was relatively small and was paid right away, but even if it hadn't been, the Statute of Limitations would have expired about 10 years ago. I kept trying to tell her that she was wrong, but she kept getting louder and louder trying to talk over top of me, so I ended up screaming a few choice words and hung up on her. Now that I know what it is about, I will be ready for the next call and simply tell them that I want proof in writing. Once I get that so that I know exactly who they are, I can send them a nice little letter quoting the SOL for VA and the FDCPA laws and finally shut them up for good.

would not identify self

Called and asked for my husband.  My husband was not at home. He was very rude and nasty.  When I asked to identify himself and for what reason he wanted my husband.  He refused to answer and kept asking for my husband.  After a few moments of this happening I said unless he identifies himself I would not give the message to my husband.  He said his name was David Morse (the actor).  Then hung up.

Called and keep hanging up on my answering machine.  I finally typed the number in and I got all of this information.  I am not sure why they are calling, but I am going to take everyone's advice.

I got 2 calls from this number and I want to be left alone!!!

I just received a call from them at 8:30am and they wanted to verify my address and I said "who is this" She said "Ms. Brooks" and I asked from where and she told me she needed to verify my address before she could continue her call. I asked again where are you calling from and she said "I will call again later, thanks."     So I had my mother return the call and they were very rude to her. And all they would say was BUSINESS CENTER. These people are shady. DO NOT GIVE OUT YOUR INFO.

I got a call on my answering machine the message was loud, and very rude - "This is Lou - call me!" Yeah, hold your breath "Lou"... I'm glad I googled this number - everyone is very helpful. Thanks!

These people called my house and I just kept thinking to myself; " these people sound so shady!" I googled their number and all this information came up about them; Thank you so much!

Glad to know I am not the only one
