I dont think that it is just for Banfield exclusively, because I just got a call from them and have never signed up or used Banfield for my cat.However,I did also just get a call from the number 1-800-377-7789 just seconds before I received the call from the 651-204-1345. I think this number belongs to CMI systems,which is also a collection agency. They have recently started hounding me for a bill from about 7 years ago. My bill must have been  resold to another collection agency.
I had never gotten calls from the 651 number until today, but it seems really odd that they called me within seconds of each other.

Multiple calls per day; no messages left; no reply when answered.

651-204-1345 called and left no message. Caller ID reported  IC Systems. Various websites say they are debt collectors for Chase, but we are not past due on anything. Will report to donotcall.gov.

as I just got a new business cell phone and I know that cell numbers get recycled the calls I get typically are for the last person who was assigned this number ... in my case it must have been a deadbeat. In any case, in order to stop them from calling repeatly, I would answer the call and if you're not the person they are trying to reach let them know -- when I activated the phone there must have been at least 6 calls from this number, hopefully they stop as I'm not familiar with however they are trying to track down ... we'll see !!

This person continues to call from 1-651-204-1345. When I answer noboby said anything.

I received 6 calls just this morning and after no messages I called them back. In my case it was for a very (3 yrs) old electric bill from some place I haven't lived in years and didn't even know was still due. They set up payment arrangements with me and now its settled. But I did tell the guy that since no one bothers to leave messages and tell us what its for, that is the reason these issues don't get resolved. They sure need to change how they handle their collection calls. Pathetic.

Called many times but never say anything when we pick up

My daughter just got a phone and this number has called her repeatedly.  How can I make this stop???  Isn't this harrassment???

Did not answer the first time and they left no voicemail.  They called back 4 hrs later and I answered.- dead silence. No one said anything.

Call is from IC System. They do not leave messages when left to voice mail. So far they are mostly playing by the rules and the debt they are calling about is valid. They are somewhat demanding over the phone and they tend to not be cooperative but so far they haven't done anything illegal. They also do not call incessantly like many collectors do.

I'm surprised to find myself stating this about a debt collector... I've had to threaten legal actions against many. I'm just glad this is one that doesn't bother me all the time.

well they don't know that you're in class silly

Called me and left no message. If it is Banfield I did bring a pet rat there once and I paid in full upfront.

They have called me every day for one month.  If they would leave a message, I would return the call. I suppose the phone call is not important enough if they don't leave a message

These people are idiots - I got another phone call from them and I acted really stupid like whats a pet?
Thing is i never had a pet vet bill,,, since my daughter is a vet.  So yea scammers totally.  BEWARE

I have received numerous calls as well... when I asked who they were, they say: IC System and asked for my info, which i didn't not give.  I asked what it was about and who they were, he hung up since i didn't confirm any info.

Keep getting calls from this number and if anyone is on the other end they either ask for someone I dont know or dont say anything

THIS NUMBER CALLS CONSTANTLY..I CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY SAY.  IT'S COUPLE TIMES A DAY NOW.  ONCE I CALLED, AND GOT A LIVE PERSON, AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD TAKE MY NUMBER OFF LIST.  THAT WAS A MONTH AGO.  STILL CALLING.  I STOPPED ANSWERING, BUT NOW I'M GETTING VERY ANGRY.  I CAN'T AFFORD TO LOSE THE MINUTES.  WHY HAVEN'T THEY BEEN STOPPED.  OTHER LISTINGS ARE HERE THAT GIVE THAT NUMBER, SO MANY PEOPLE MUST BE GETTING THESE CALLS. CAN'T ANYONE STOP THEM?

I thought I'd finally pick up after incessant calls with no messages left. I was transfered to someone who introduced herself as Holley from IC Systems and wanted to verify my address. I asked "Who are you people?" And she replied again that she was from IC Systems but also added that "We help grow your business!"

I don't know how they got my cell phone number but this was a solicitation from a company that I had never heard of up until today. I made it clear that they were not to call me again for any solicitation purposes.

If that is what your call is about, make a report to the FCC.

These people keep called me 6 times in 2 days and I live in a different state, If it is a bill collector or whatever, I don't owe anyone anything. They need to stop.

Keeps calling my cell.

Called my mobile phone.

A mean lady callsl asking for info about people who i don't know and doesn't give any information

651-204-1341    
651-204-1344    
651-204-1345    
651-204-1347    
651-204-1349

They are all the same company...IC Systems (paypal collections)

I just got this number a few months ago and I keep getting calls by this number almost everyday. Its weird because when I pick up the phone the person will always hang up

I keep getting calls from this number and googled the name IC Systems on the caller ID. I don't have anything in collections, never have had a pet, and I keep getting hang up/robo calls from them. Their website says that they are not only in collections but also direct marketing/phone harassment and some other BS. It's so frustrating that companies are able to use those damned robo dialers. How the hell can I block this sh@!

NO MESSAGE LEFT, OWN NO PETS, SPAMMERS, TELEPHONE MARKETERS OR COLLECTIONS

Send them a cease communication letter VIA certified mail with return receipt requested. You are NOT responsible for your mother's debts!

You come home one day and find a letter, asking you to pay your recently deceased spouse?s $400 credit card bill. Soon after, you start receiving collection calls. What should you do? Are you responsible for paying the bill?

It is not uncommon for creditors to turn to relatives for collection after a person dies. In some cases, they may be legally on the hook for the debt. However, often times, they are not. Knowing the law can help you handle bill collectors without being bullied into unnecessary payment.

When dealing with the debt of a deceased person, the first thing you want to consider is if anyone else?s name on the account. Each account holder can be held legally responsible for the outstanding balance, regardless of who used the account or whatever agreement the account holders had on who would pay the bill. Taking the example above, let?s say the credit card was a joint account, owned by your spouse and you. He was the only one who used the card and made the payments. You simply co-signed on the application because he had a low credit score. Unfortunately, since your name is on the account, you are still on the hook for the outstanding balance. This rule only applies to co-signers, not authorized users, who are not legally obligated to repay the debt. (However, you can be held responsible for charges you make after the death of the primary account holder, so don?t buy a $3,000 television with the card thinking you can get it for free.)

In most states, relatives whose names are not on the account cannot be held personally responsible for a deceased person?s debt. In community property states (Alaska, Arizona, California, Idaho, Louisiana, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas, Washington, and Wisconsin), spouses may be responsible for paying the debt, even if their name is not in the account. If you live in one of these states, it is a good idea to talk to a lawyer about what your obligations are.

Even if you are not obligated to pay a creditor out of your own pocket, that does not necessarily mean you can tell them, ?Tough luck. You are not getting a penny.? Obviously, the creditor cannot collect directly from a borrower who is not alive, but they are entitled to collect from his or her estate, meaning they can take from assets before they are passed on to heirs (although certain assets, such as retirement funds and life insurance, may be exempt). For example, if your father left you the $10,000 in his savings account and had a $3,000 loan outstanding at the time of his death, the lender would get $3,000, and you would get $7,000. However, if there are not enough assets to cover the bills, then some creditors are simply out of luck ? they cannot collect money the estate does not have.

It is the role of the executor of the estate to pay the deceased person?s outstanding bills. If you are the executor, you may want to consult with a lawyer about your state?s probate process and laws. There may be specific regulations on the order that the debts should be paid.

If you are not the executor of the estate but are receiving phone calls and/or letters asking you to pay, you should refer the creditor to the executor. If they are persistent, send a certified letter stating that the person is deceased and you are not responsible for paying the debt. Don?t let yourself be intimidated into paying a debt you are not responsible for. If the bill collector is making claims you don?t believe are true, such as saying you are a co-signer on the account, ask for proof. Let them know you are aware of your rights and will report them if they do not stop calling you. Harassing bill collectors can be reported to the Federal Trade Commission (877-382-4357) and state attorney general?s office. (They investigate patterns of complaints but typically do not intervene in individual cases.) If the collection activity still does not stop, you may want to hire an attorney to send them a letter and, if needed, take additional legal action.

While you may inherit Great Aunt Suzy?s doll collection or Grandma Jane?s floral sofa, luckily, in most cases, you won?t inherit your relatives? debt.

I am currently being harassed by your company about an outstanding bill from my mother, WHO IS DECEASED !!!!!!!!!! At your representative suggestion, I fax over the Death Cert and after 1 year the phone calls started for a follow up. What follow up is needed, if a person is deceased, they will be every year thereafter so why keep harassing me. It is insensitive of your company to continue to call me asking for my mother who is no longer here, today is the day after mother's day and guess what I just got a call from 6512041345. This must end.

Got a call from this number . When I answered  nobody said anything

Never leaves a message. Calls almost daily, including Sundays.
