You need to get the complete address of the company. Then you can send them a cease and desist letter. According to the FDCPA law once they recieve that letter they MUST stop calling you. You can get an idea of such a letter by going to places like this :
[Your name]
[Your address]

[Perpetrator's name]
[Perpetrator's address]

[Today's date]

RE: Cease and desist from [stalking/harassing/etc.]

Dear [Perpetrator]:

This CEASE AND DESIST ORDER is to inform you that your persistent actions including but not limited to [insert actions here (example: calling me in the middle of the night and hanging up, waiting outside my house, etc)] have become unbearable. You are ORDERED TO STOP such activities immediately as they are being done in violation of the law.

I have the right to remain free from these activities as they constitute [harassment/stalking/etc.], and I will pursue any legal remedies available to me against you if these activities continue. These remedies include but are not limited to: contacting law enforcement to obtain criminal sanctions against you, and suing you civilly for damages I have incurred as a result of your actions.

Again, you must IMMEDIATELY STOP [unwanted activities] and send me written confirmation that you will stop such activities. You risk incurring some very severe legal consequences if you fail to comply with this demand.

This letter acts as your final warning to discontinue this unwanted conduct before I pursue legal actions against you. At this time, I am not contacting the authorities or filing civil suit against you, as I hope we can resolve this matter without authoritative involvement. I am not under any circumstances, however, waiving any legal rights I have presently, or future legal remedies against you by sending you this letter. This order acts as ONE FINAL CHANCE for you to cease your illegal activities before I exercise my rights.

To ensure compliance with this letter, and to halt any legal action I may take against you, I require you to fill in and sign the attached form and mail it back to me within 10 days of your receipt of this letter. Failure to do so will act as evidence of your infringement upon my legal rights, and I will immediately seek legal avenues to remedy the situation.

Sincerely,

[your signature]___
[your printed name]

My mother-in-law called me this afternoon and said that "Paragon" called her house looking for me and wouldn't giver her any other information aside from "have her call us back right away, this is very important"! Well I haven't lived there for over 9 years and NEVER gave anyone her number, I always had a cell phone and my husband and I had a p.o. box when we lived there so we never used her address either! So, I googled the phone number she relayed to me and the name "Paragon" and this site came up in the search results! Thank you for having this forum set up, now I can tell her to not answer the phone for them any more!

YES..A collection agency CAN report the debt owed to your credit reports. They buy the bad debts and have every right to report what you didn't pay. The original creditor can ALSO report this debt, and YES, it's legal. This gives you TWO negative marks on YOUR credit for not paying your bills. Mortgage companies DO look at medical collections and they have to be paid in full before they will consider you for a loan. ( I know this because I am a mortgage officer) Both of these bad marks will remain on your credit for 7 years. I don't think they are losers for working for this company, just doing there job, and probably paying all their bills...BEFORE they go to collections!
Have a nice day! :)

regardless of all the reasons they call you cant get what one doesnt have. Calling people morons and other types of foolishness solves nothing. Oddly as it seems the treatment i received at the hospital saved my life. I died twice on op table. you think im overly concerned about a bill. dont get me wrong i am so greatful of their efforts but lets be real.

I was paying my bill on time to our local hospital and the hospital accidentally sent my bill to collections.  Idiots.  Now they won't even get the full amount because JBA will take their cut.  I called the hospital and they confirmed that they sent it to collections but didn't know why.  That's what you're supposed to do when they call you.  Find out what they claim that you owe by having JBA send you a bill and then check with the original firm who referred you.  Then pay it if you owe it.  If you don't owe it, dispute it.  Hopefully you kept your original paperwork for medical bills like you should do for seven years.  Otherwise, you're SOL.

So I'm paying JBA, because I really do owe it.  And you folks that think it's a scam because they call from one number and want to receive calls on another line are also idiots.  OHHHHHH they have more than one phone line...it MUST be a scam!  Also, the collection agency CAN put a hit on your credit report.  I was told that it would NOT go on my credit report as long as I paid it.  This has so far been true.  It has not shown up on my credit report yet.

FYI, I do not work for JBA.  I work at a chemical plant in southeastern NC.  I know how some of you folks like to think that anyone who writes the truth works for them.  Get a life.

I just posted a comment. I didn't stop and think about being a scam call. I just get PO every time they call looking for this person.  But on reading some of these other post the ex- girl friend could be getting these calls and giving them our number.  At playing stupid games because she  is an ex that got her hands caught in the cookie jar.52 cards short of a full deck!!!!! But then this site could also be a scam site. U don't win for loosing.

02/24/2010 3:00pm c-time. Hi, We have been getting these same type calls looking for a ex-girl frind of my husband. I never met her but know of her, for they had a child together  before I knew of him.  He now he has full custody  of child. How this J.Berry got our number is  something I would like to know. They have been calling us on a regular bases. I got mad told the women Elaine that I did not ever want them to call here again. The person that they were looking for lives in Pannama City Fl. and gave them her  ### and told them they would get a bill from me for giving them the ###.  they call us from 1-800-230-6127. ask to speak to this person, call us back at 1-800-219-1038.  Lazy people cann't you do your own research instead of bugging other people?

I have received a call from them a couple times.  So today 2-23-10 when they called i called them back after looking at this site.  I got a nice Lady (Amy) who told me that i owe 189.93 for a hospital bill from one of my kids.  All I gave her was my phone number, I told her that I had just paid my hospital bills then i looked at the bill i paid an realized that, that one was with another company and when i called them they told me they no longer had my account.  So I asked Amy to send me a bill she told me the address she had for me but no Zip code (which is easy enough to look up) but thats why i never received the bill.......  Well any ways she told me she would send one out today......

I think you are one of those honest hardworking individuals, who had went through or going through unforeseen circumstances. I think your angry with yourself because you cannot control what you are going through.  I am sorry you are going through it. Join the millions of us.  No one in this country is prepared for what is going on with our economy. Jobs are evaporating, food and health insurance, including hospital costs are skyrocketing.  Let's be realistic, if no one pay their bill (whatever that bill is) costs will continue to go high.  Remember, when a person is sick, they do not think, "Oh, I better look at my health insurance coverage to see if they cover what the doctor/hospital is going to do to me." They immediately go to the doctor/hospital wanting a quick diagnosis and some kind of medicine to make them feel better.  When the bill comes, the person is frustrated and outraged of what it had cost to "feel better". People immediately want to blame the doctor/hospital for "wanting to get paid" for making them feel better. Remember, put yourself in the doctor/hospital's place.  Would you not want to get paid for what you worked for? Every business knows that if you don't get paid, the vendors (manufacturers who produce the medicine/hospital supplies) the company they buy the food to feed the patients (you, the babies, your wife, mom, dad, brother, sister, etc) the employees (oh, don't forget their families who depends on them!).  Please do not get upset at a company that is hired by the hospitals to recoup their money.  Most of these hospitals have Financial Assistance that help those who are encountering unforeseen circumstances.  If the patients would just give the right information when they fill out the forms at the hospital/doctor's office, and stop giving misleading information so that they cannot be contacted because they do not or cannot pay the bill(and I do not say this is so with everyone) then companies like Jon Barry Associates (and others like this company, there are many!)wouldn't be making the calls. Just for your information JBA is the same company who wants you to pay your bills on time, but if you do not, you will get "THAT CALL!" Now, do not get offended, as this is not intended towards you, but to the millions of people who think that they should go to the doctor and expect it ALL to be free!  There is nothing free in this world. Sad to say there are alot of people who are not mature, responsible people like yourself, who expect everything for free.  Wake up people...educate yourself, read your health plan, what does it cover, if it does not cover 100% of what you are going in for ask yourself, can you pay? If not, do not go to the doctor/hospital or you will 'GET THAT CALL!"

Think about it and be more constructive instead of destructive with your comments.  Words have life, and it might come back to haunt you.  Remember, these hospitals can offer assistance, all this "I hate JBA" only stop the very people who need help be mislead by destructive information.

with all due respect, just because it is a debt collector calling to get information does not necessarily mean it isn't a scam.  sometimes they call people other than the debtor to try and gain information about someone else.  this does classify as scamming for personal information.  people should be aware of their tactics

i'm sure you are a JB employee lurking about on this site to see what is being said so that you guys can learn better ways to harass people.  you have know idea about the personal situations of the people you harass.  most of the time when you callers get someone to answer the phone, you already have a rude and condescending attitude in place before you even hear what the person has to say.  Maybe if you guys weren't so unbelievably rude and hateful, you might have more people willing to work out payment arrangements.  Most people are honest hardworking individuals who want to take care of their responsibilities but may be unable to due to unforeseen circumstances.  A little politeness and understanding would go a LONG way.  Plus, I suggest you seek some counseling for your obvious anger management issue.  Oh,  and don't forget to pay YOUR bill.  Have a nice day!!!
