These calls should classified as harassment & treated as a criminal act. It's invasive & the person calling should be held accountable for mental aguish among other things.  What kind of person takes a pay check from this sort of work and sleeps at night is beyond me !!  

Dear efy, Ignorance is bliss....how blissful do you think we are? How much were you paid to write these notes? No way working at Subway part time pays your household expenses as you said living on your own supporting yourself as well as car payments and $400. per month insurance. Wow maybe we all should go work part time at Subways they really are paying well. Hey folks maybe efy is the a new nickname for Fred or Ms. Hanna wouldn't doubt it as he lies so well. Anyway, I am proud of myself and will update later as to how my suit against this master manipulator comes out for fraud once again.

This SOB can go pee up a rope. Calls and asks for someone but won't give their name so you have to look them up and find these posts. Called to try to listen to the name the message gives but they talk too fast and you can't understand it. So what I'm proposing is we all call HIM and harass him till he leaves us all alone then they won't be able to call us anymore. I'll let you all know how this turns out.

Be nice to the poor collection guy.. he is working on commission only and was most likely told he would be clearing 2k a week.. (and of course they lied to him to)...

Anyway.. I just tell 'em to stop calling and to send all their communiations by mail and politely say 'goooodbye'. (*click)

Its not worth getting your blood pressure up.

received a call from this number.  she asked for me by my full name and when i informed i was the she was looking for me, she said "disregard this message, i think i called you by accident". ???

Got callsl from this man stating he is an attorney and he is calling about a debt i owe. I am an 80 year old woman. Sold my home , paid off any and all bills i ever knew of and am living in a apartment!!  i live on a very small s.s. check!Thats it!!  I was told i have excellent credit and all of a sudden i get  a call in a nasty voice from this man saying i have a debt and they want to talk to me.I looked on star 69 and found the number and got on the net and found that number belonged to Fred Hanna "law offices! Then found the letters about this place and read the letters of other people  who had experiences with him! Why can't he be stopped?? WHY!!! They call all hours whether you
answer or not and won't give up!! I get so upset!!! Don't need this at this time of my life.!! I don't know where these guys are coming from! I don't owe anyone! Don't know what to do !!!!!!!
I am extremely upset!

I've gotten 5 calls from them in one day. They don;t leave a message.

That  SOB said the same crap to me and wanted my name. I told him are you kidding me YOU CALLED ME!!!!

I told these people the individual they are looking for does not live here nor have I heard of this person

They left a message on my phone to call Mr. Jackson back at (800) 450-6575. Said they are a law office. I didn't answer the phone and I'm not calling them back. This was my work number that they called and if they keep calling, I am liable to lose my job.

770-916-9220 number has continued to harass others. Old Fart! Stop calling people to get your kick to Fart!

Keeps calling for incorrect reasons.  I have no delinquent accounts, legal judgments, outstanding liens, debts, or student loans or any kind.  My advice is to hang up immediately if you get a call from this number.

These are a collection of slime ball attorney?s They harass the uninformed get all their money. Never answer these morons.

Just received a call from this number, 770-916-9220. Caller ID says Frederick Hann. A guy asked for my sister who has never lived here.  Said his name was Jared Peace (yeah right) and that she should call him at 800-450-6575 ext 3624.  Said he had talked to her at her work and that she told him to call her home.  He didn't have her home #, but had me listed as a 'contact'. Really?  So I text my sister about the call, and she tells me that the jack*** called her at work and when she asked him to call her at home, he hung up. SCAM  SCAM SCAM!!!

These people called me today regarding a credit card that is not mine, I do not have a credit card.  They called twice within 20 minutes and I told them I am getting my attorney involved and I am.

Real interesting posts in here! No matter how you describe it... it's a form of harassment, period! People should NOT have to: receive calls after 8:00PM, on weekends, before 9:00AM, repeatedly (one after another), calls that are just plain rude, calls that accuse you of something you didn't do, and ESPECIALLY... calls which are threatening in nature!!! "Pay your bills in the first place", you say? "That way you won't be receiving calls like these", you add. Yeah, well, I was (and I did)! I then became disabled and lost my job. With that, a decent income was lost! I do get disability once a month. Have you ever tried to pay the mortgage and the other NECESSARY monthly expenditures on a disability check? Don't forget groceries and gas for the one car you have left (you had to sell the other one)! Oh geez, I forgot to mention that I have a family to support as well including two boys, 10 and 12 respectively! Christmas and birthdays are done " on the cheap". My wife and I don't give each other any gifts anymore. Oh yeah... my wife... yeah, she does work! She brings home just about enough to pay for things like insurance and other essentials. We were never "rich"... lower- middle class is more like it. I always met my bills, never spent more than what I could pay for, and had a good credit score. All was for naught now. I can't meet my bills, I am constantly "robbing Peter to pay Paul", and my credit score, is in the toilet! I've tried to setup terms with my creditors but to no avail! "Not enough for our minimum payment", they said and added their official "Sorry". I'm sorry too, but you just can't get blood out of a stone! Now, having gone through all that, I am lucky to get to talk to people like Hanna and Associates who try to get me to "pay what I owe... now" by using their strong arm, Gestapo-like tactics and other fine people skills that they all seem to have mastered quite well! Well, my back is against the wall. I've tried just about everything I know. There's only one thing left to do. "Hey boy's and girls... can you say bankruptcy"? "GOTCHA"!!!

Frederick Hanna called from this number: 770-988-9055. They spoke to my husband and asked him to verify my address, SS number, or date of birth. When he declined, he asked the fellow for the company he represented. He said "Alfred Henning," which we'd never heard of. He asked what company he worked for, and the guy said, "For the same reasons you don't want to disclose..." and refused to answer. He said he was bound by law not to say anything. I'm sure it's a credit card debt. My husband lost his job and we haven't paid credit cards for over 6 months. Citibank sued us and got a judgment, so we're paying them, but not the other two.

This person called my cell- stated this call is recorded, then asked for someone-Could not understand the name they gave- then he spelled it- turns out this man was asking for my 2 year old child.  I asked why he would be asking to speak with my 2 year old- he states "Im not asking to speak to your 2 year old, why would you think that"- I stated the obvious, because you just asked for him by name.  I didnt let him utter another word and made it very clear that they had better never call my cell or try to contact my child again- WHO ARE THESE CREEPS- any names would be helpful, Im taking this to the FBI- grown (sounded old) man calling asking fro my 2 year old-WTF

Went to voice message.....they left nothing

Sto calling me now this is HARRASSMENT

The person that these people are looking for is my ex mother in law.  It's all automated and they call every single day!!!

YOU ARE WIERD!

I totally agree with   'File bankruptcy'  (posted 25 Feb 2012).  

There are so many of us who are victims of the economy and have had our incomes greatly decreased or totally lost.  Not all of us go get welfare and live off the system.

Many of us would much rather work on paying back our debts rather than filing bankruptcy and having those debts erased.  

There are several so called 'attorneys offices' that call my home.  At first I answered those calls.  I no longer answer them.  Sometimes they leave messages on the answering machine.  

The people at this company, Frederick Hanna, sound like gangbangers who probably went no farther than fifth grade.  Their English is unprofessional and very gutter sounding.  It is difficult to understand the messages.  

Caller ID does not always indentify that its Hanna calling.

Marry someone who runs your debt over $25,000 on three separate occasions ($75,000 total.)
Live in a house that requires two incomes even though your wife leaves you with two young children,
Pay for the divorce, have your home lose $150,000 in value making selling it almost impossible financially.  Have your lender cash in the insurance policy through Fannie Mae making them whole, Have Fannie Mae take the house from you, buying it for 43 cents on the dollar through the courts, charging you the difference, taxing you on the forgiven part of the loan, only to sell the house and make twice what they paid for it.
Plus whatever money they receive from me extorted through your Uncle's firm. The guy from your uncle's firm (James McCoy??, yea right) would not even tell me what debt he was trying to collect.  
Your definition of an idiot is someone who trusts others to do what they say will do.  There are a lot of us out here.  30% of all homeowners........You should get to know us.  Fred has and he's apparently making a killing.

Things in Atlanta must not be going well for Fred Hanna & Associates.

Based on recent emails received Hanna is now scrapping the bottom of the junk debt dumpster for money based on assertions he is collectiong for Portfolio Recovery Associates (PRA).

Life must be good for "Superman Fred" and Lynn Hanna.

"Superman Fred" and wife Lynn Hanna have most of their assets tied up in THE 'TRUE VINE' EXPERIENCE FOUNDATION, INC., where Lynn is CEO.

According to Cobb County GA tax records they reside:
Address 3660 LOWER ROSWELL RD
Acres 3.30
Original Gross Value $842,570.00
Original Gross Assessment $337,028.00

This is where CEO Lynn operates her "non-profit"
Take a look at their home/corporate headquarters:
http://www.cobbasses...x=1&LMparent=20

Fred & Lynn may need a lot of money to maintain "Fort Hanna" where it is rumored that alligators swim in the moat.

This may be one reason why Fred has stooped to working with PRA.

PRA is one of the absolute worst junk debt bottom feeders in America, based on their long and sordid track record for not being able to prove the garbage suits they file.

PRA junk debt suits are considered some of the worst ever filed, they are based on hearsay and manufactured documents.

Hanna & PRA working together is like having all the rats feeding out of the same dumpster.

It can't get much worse than a marriage between "Superman Fred" and the slime of PRA.

They may be the reason you are being forced to pay higher interest rates-unable to obtain loans -or possibly caused that job offer to slip by.

Remember...It is always easier to beat a junk debt collector than to pay one.

This company calls and says they are a collection  agency and then want tell you the matter until
you tell them personal information  BE WARE

wrong number.

Old Freddie boy is calling me, because the economy killed us financially and at this point there is no such thing as recovering as soon as he takes a step I file and everyone I owe loses. I'd rather things pick up and  I pay everyone, but if he jumps first I jump bigger. My lawyer is watching and very willing to cause Freddie some problems if he does anything illegal.
to the self righteous who want to bash anyone in the same position I'm in, go for it. I was rolling along just fine until the economy tanked.

Your uncle appears to ignore the FDCPA -- the debt collection law of the land. Legit collectors per section 809 of the FDCPA http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/consumer/credit/cre27.pdf *must* tell you at initial contact, or send you paperwork within 5 days of initial contact, the following:
1. $amount of debt,
2. name of the current creditor (which may differ from the original creditor who might have sold your debt),
3. a statement that that debt will be assumed to be valid unless you dispute in writing within 30 days,
4. a statement that that if you do dispute in writing within 30 days, the collector must mail you written verification of the debt,
5. a statement that if you ask the collector in writing within 30 days, the collector must send you the name and address of the original creditor if it's different from the current creditor.
If you don't get the 5 disclosures, orally or in writing (you do not have to ask for them, the FDCPA requires collectors to provide them), treat the collector like you would any SCAMMER.
If they say the FDCPA does not apply to them because they own your debt, the debt-owner exemption only applies to the original owner. Any 3rd party who buys the debt for the purpose of collecting debt is treated as a debt collector, i.e., ownership is irrelevant for debt buyers and they must obey the FDCPA as explained in this FTC Staff Opinion letter here http://www.ftc.gov/os/statutes/fdcpa/letters/arbuckle.htm
Has the statute of limitations for your state http://www.fair-debt-collection.com/SOL-by-State.html expired on your debt? If expired, don't pay.
Collectors generally have to be licensed by your state to practise (collect debt) in your state and you can find out by calling your state Attorney Generals Office. Ask if a license is required and does this collector have one. If not licensed, don't pay and file a complaint.
