If they don't leave a message it is likely that the call was an auto-dial and if there is no answer the call disconnects and goes into a "lead pool." I learned this from an article on how to handle telemarker calls properly (i.e. do not simply hang up). The reason you may get 2-3 calls a day from the same number is if this "lead pool" does not have many different numbers in it. Legally, someone is only allowed to call you 6 times per day with at least 2 hours in between each call and can only leave 2 messages.

I C Systems... Debt Collector.   however, they often use a "transfer operator" is why no message

CALL BRIGHT AND EARLY. RUDE AND NASTY VOICE...NOT ONE I WANT TO HEAR FIRST THING IN THE MORNING THATS FOR SURE. THEY ASKED FOR SOMEONE (NOT ME) TOLD THEM THEY HAVE THE WRONG NUMBER. TOLD ME I WAS BEING RECORDED AND I JUST HUNG UP. VERY STRANGE

Everyday they call and I call back I just get a machine so when they call
Now i just hod the phone and yell random out burst they just call
Right ack so i blocked them.......

Attention Do Not Give These People Your Bank Account Number....Save Every Message,Voice Mail,Text Message they Send....Report Them To Your Local News Station Or The "FBI" So That They Can Track The Phone Number Down .....You Do Not Have To Fall Victim,You Did Not Do Anything Wrong,They Can Not Take You To Court Over A Loan That You've Already Been To Court Over....You Didn't Ask Them To Buy Your Unpayed Loan In The First Place..*That Should Be Against The Law....The Judge Has Already Place Judgement On That Loan.....You Can Go To Jail For Buying Someone's Else Information This is How Bad Things Happen To Good Folks.....The Government Needs To Do Something About This Matter:-)

I have no debt and they just keep calling....very rude.

Same here call my number, I just got the number in January of this year, the calls are constant and as early as 8 on Sat even holidays - and have been for 2 different people, not even for me, from reading everyones statements here, it is very clear that this company practices what is called in the industry of collection  "Skip tracing"  which means the person that owes the money to a company that hires these guys runs a report through companies like Intellius etc, these sites list relative and last known accomplices LOL -   so they run those names and so on and so on or and they tell 2 friends and so on and so on,  This skip tracing, gives the names and friends names and they hope after p*SS*ing you off, you give up information that helps them find who they are looking for, hopefully soon yes the law is enforced!!!!

i love that idea!

I absolutely do not want any further calls from this number.

Called my cell phone twice and hang up

hahahaha this time I called them and screamed at them to stop calling me..felt good..I actually got a live  person...lol..I told them they need to stop harassing people and that people are complaining about them on the internet..then I just hung up on him. lol

Yes! these frakin people are driving me crazy! they wont stop calling me. I just got this land line a few months month ago, so I know they are not calling for me..Ive been getting calls for different people who had this number before me..They don't say anything and then they hang up..sounds like a stocker and harassment...I screamed at them one day for calling me at 8am on a Saturday once, and then they just started calling me before 12pm...what the hell? they dont answer when I pick up, and they don't even leave a message when I don't...so weird! :( How do I stop their annoying calls? Isn't there a law that's supposed to be coming in effect soon to prevent these kinds of a***ole companies from calling, stocking and harassing you?

I've been getting a call from them everyday, since we got our land line...its driving me crazy! :( They like calling early in the morning, even on Saturdays. I screamed at them once for it, and now they call in early afternoon...What the hell is wrong with this company harassing people? Cant we do something about it legally maybe?

I continue to get calls from this number on my cell phone mostly when I am at work during the day.  It
rings once and then shows up as a missed call.  Also I wonder if they somehow got my work number as my desk phone also rings once or twice and when I answer it no one is there, which we don't have a caller id on.  If they would just leave a message as to whom they are calling I would call back and straighten it out.

They keep calling

I get called from this number everyday it seems, multiple times a day. My number and phone are new and was getting bombarded by calls from people I don't know. About a month after having my new number this one is the only one that still calls. When I did pick up there was no answer, so I set up my voice mail to see if they would leave a message. Still nothing, no voice mail, no answer when I pick up, and I am not going to call them back. Their calls start at 5 AM my time, 8 AM their time, and stop at around 9 PM. My boyfriend tells me it's probably a bill collector for him, since the phone is in his name, but they don't answer when I pick up. How are they supposed to collect money if they don't want to talk!?!? I just ignore the calls now, but they are always my 5 AM wake up call.

i found the best way to prevent thees people from calling me, i went to a party supply store an baught an air horn,
So when they call i answer ,let them speek and the i reply can you hear me???

AND I BLOW THE HORN IN THE PHONE  (they stopped callind me)

GOOD LUCK...............

This morning I got a call from this number on my cell phone but no one said anything so I hung up.  This afternoon I got another call from this number and someone said, "Hold on I'm trying to connect you" then a lady came on and asked for Eddie Vargus.  I told her this was not his number and she said, "Oh okay" and I hung up.

this stupid company keeps calling my desk phone for a former worker. i keep telling them that they have the wrong number for her. they dont listen. i guess there 1 celled brain cant do anything but what the computer tells them what to do.

They call and never leave a message. I do not have any bills that is in collection, I have not idea why they are calling  here.

This company is the most persistent of the "slimy vermin" breed. They do not follow anything relevant to individual rights of privacy, whether or not they actually have some stake in getting information. They harass non-debt-holders right along with actual debtors being sought for payment.

They are like Wack-a-Mole amusement-park games: whack one and another appears. Same as their call centers. Block one and another calls. Sometimes one can get several calls each and every day from multiple IC (*"Intelligent*, as opposed to inane, Collection). No, not after 9PM but starting at 8AM! I know... have been collecting the #'s and preparing to file with multiple states attorney generals, which others need to do as well.

FTC forms notwithstanding (and their limited resources and focus on consumer issues like this), while there's some great info above, and *everyone* who is unreasonably harassed by ICS should complain vocally to AG's, Consumer Affairs, FTC, etc.... only concerted, constant, and collective complaining about this specific company might bring them onto the radar screen. Lots of good infoout there about how to report/stop the harassment, but: telling them orally to stop does not protect any rights or bring about any results. Writing does. And then like Wack-a-mole, they can still come up with another division/branch calling, as if they don't connect....

Worst of the worst offenders in the industry/industries. Really needs to be fined, jailed, stopped... ASAP!

They are always calling and never leave a message. They leave all types of phone numbers to confuse me on who is calling. When I do answer they hang up.

These idiots call me no less than 5 times a day, from this number as well as from 2023679027. I don't understand the deal, I have no debt for them to collect!

THESE IDIOTS CALL MY FAX MACHINE NO LESS THAN 10 TIMES PER DAY....A LITTLE SLOW TO THE MARK, NEVER TRANSMIT ANYTHING, KEEP WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO ANSWER. YOU WOULD THINK THE EAR PIERCING RESPONSE FROM THE FAX MACHINE WOULD TELL THEM SOMETHING BUT NOOOOOOO...REAL ROCKET SCIENTISTS HERE  BROTHER....

Oh now I recognize the name. They're called ICS for short. These guys are debt collectors & are complete a**holes. One of them asked me what made me think I was so special that fee's don't apply to me. HA! They've also tried to contact me under the phone number 800 844 8001.

Bill collector
