P,  it becomes illegal if they call and actually talk to you and continue to keep calling you back  that many times.  if you do not answer,  they can attempt calling you to establish a contact.

In a letter I have told this bank the following;  Stop calling me. Cease and Desist. Charge me a fee, overdraw my account, bounce my checks, hell, foreclose on my home if you want just stop calling me 5 times a day every day. I sent a copy of the letter along with a complaint to the State Banking Department. No more phone calls. It worked for about six months. Now its back to the phone calls whenever I am 12 seconds with a payment.

Talk about being beaten to death here's a new practice they have. I have a Sovereign checking account and a Sovereign loan which is deducted every month from my checking account. I did not get to the bank on time to make a deposit so the bank paid the loan overdrawing my account. Later that day they returned the check unpaid. I was charged $35 for the overdraft, $35 for the returned check and #30 for a loan late fee. Yes, that's $100 for one check. I fought with them and was able to get one $35 fee reversed. I feel lucky.

No scam, It is the Debt Collection Department of Sovereign Bank based at 450 Penn Street, Reading, PA 19602 - in a Call Room.

If the debtor has registered a Home phone, an Office number, and/or a Cell phone they will call, even if you are not yet 30 days past due.  They use an automated dialing sytem that displays 800-207-8767 on your caller ID, but NOT Soverign Bank. If you answer the automted call it will identify itself as coming from Sovereign Bank and state your name.  They will next prompt your response to a debt collection person, if you are the person they are trying to call.  If you do not answer the  automated call, as I did not, then their dialing machine will keep calling back, as many as 8 times in a day. I do not answer any calls from 800 numbers or from Out of Area, So it was only later after being harrassed by theri repeated dialing that I found out it was Sovereign Bank trying to collect $58 that was not yet 30 days past due. They even tried to collect an Annual renewal fee of $25 that was on a statement they had not yet mailed (deceptive)   I went to my local Sovereign Bank, paid account in full,, Since there was a small amount still due (less than $40)(The $25 renewals fee and some interest)  I called the 800 number and asked them for the remaining balance.  They told me they could mail a statement that would arrive within 2 weeks that would reflect the remaining amount due -or- for $25 they could FAX it to me.  I declined their generous offer and will now close the account at the local branch.  This said I did draft and mail letter of complaint to:

? Federal Trade Commission
? Office of the Attorney General ? Boston
? Office of the Attorney General ? Southern Region - New Bedford
? Office of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulations ? Boston
? Division of Banks

The caller ID displays "800-207-8767."  
I do not answer "800" calls on my cell phone.
One might suggest that their caller ID display "SOVERIGN"
Oen might also suggest if they have an important message or reason for contact that when their call goes unanswered they simply leave their name, their call back phone number, and the reason for their call rather than continue to call back time and again.  Will send letter to the Attorney General's Office as I'm on the DO NOT CALL LIST.

Thanks for the warning. This man speaks the truth. I can attest to that. I am being beaten to death with $35 charges by Sovereign Bank.

"Belinda" called looking for a co-worker at our place of business; told her he was not here until later, and asked to leave a message, sio I said O.K. She them asked who I was; I told her N.Y.O.B., do you or do you not want to leave a message, it matters NOT who I am!. She left the number 800-207-8767, for me too pass on to my co-worker. Hmmm....if you have business with him, shouldn't you be calling his home number or his cell? Are you for real, or is this a scam? I wonder...

Have received 5 phone calls from this number already today - they leave no message and I have no idea who they are.

Call 3 or 4 times in a week then maybe just maybe leave a message. If you do answer you will be told  by a machine that you have an important call waiting stay on the line. Well if its that important then have a person there my time is valuable too

Dear Call Recipients:

Santander, which now owns Sovereign Bank, has to make up for the billions they lost in the Bernie Madoff debacle.  And you, the banking customers, will have to make up for the loss.

If this has not happened to you yet, watch out:  you will find that even though you may have made a legitimate deposit to cover your checks and purchases, Sovereign Bank will delay the availability of your funds deliberately, all the while accepting—very quickly--checks that you probably mailed after the initial deposit.  In most cases, a handwritten mailed check is instantly converted to an “electronic check” and presented against your account the next day, weekends included, even though the company you mailed the check to, resides in another state.   This “trick in the system” allows Sovereign Bank to charge and extra $35.00 (unavailable funds fee) for every quickly converted electronic check, sometimes resulting in hundreds of dollars in fees.  Albeit this “trick” is not illegal, it is, however, highly unethical.  You have been warned.

i called the number, this person was way to eager to help to have been a sovereign employee. get some fresh air and visit your local branch

keep getting phone calls up to 15 times a day,which i am told is illegal, no msg, and only phone number. it is Sovereign Bank, the worst bank i have delt with. they also change numbers, different call centers which would make the total number of calls up to 20 times a day. I noticed one more thing if iam 1 day behind, suddenly scam artists start calling the house, maybe coincidence but i don't think so. i have told them my situation, no help or just plain bad help

800-207-8767
I paid them 2 days ago and they are calling today. They hide like cowards, No messages,  they are morons too when they think there is someone there they talk to the voice-mail like it's a person and get mad at the voice-mail for not talking, bad caller id's. sovereign should be sued,

We receive calls from this number day and night, sometimes every day, sometimes four or five a day.  We don't pick up the phone for unsolicited 800 calls.  No matter how many times we have tried to speak to them, they still continue to harrass us.

after 4 years of your brutality, I wont pick up the phone again, im unemployed and sick of your day and night BS...come and get the MFer truck.
you dont even bother to get the correct information any more, sometimes calling every 5 minutes,
i had to change the machine to some little mexican speaker... still doesnt stop the brutality

..your late car payment, they are brutal and relentless..and or late or not..they make money and trash your rating, even if you pay off your car

I don't accept any 800 phone calls, they never leave message, what do they want?  idiots

it's sovereign bank

This is Southern Bank
