do they all use the name white or black? how about I call them at work.if I knew there real names I would. stop calling my job!!!!

I've gotten calls from Centron.  Only when I haven't paid the hospital, which I never do because I hate them.  Anyway, they have always been nice to me and when I set the account up on auto pay, they quit charging me interest.  I did request my collector to identify who she is calling from the next tme she call.  She told me the she is not legally allowed to identify herself as a collector or the company she is calling from.  Also, they have only called me at work one time.  I advised them not to call me at work again, and it has never happened again.

I got a call from a Jerry Black also- didn't identify himself other than Jerry Black and demanded I call him back.  Caller ID only showed 406.  He better not show up where I live...............................

Thanks to all who supplied this information.  All I get is 406-406.  My debt's were released years ago but I think they are still trying to collect so they can get a fee.  These creepers review your credit records and then try to con you into paying a debt that is no longer valid.  All they say is that they are from Helena.  Just hang up on them or tell them you're contacting the FDCPA.

Thanks for the info.  They are now calling at my office.

Thank you.

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) is the Federal law that says what debt collectors can and can't do. For starters, they aren't to call you about a debt that you don't owe. When a debt collector first contacts you about a debt, you have the right to request them to verify the debt is yours. If the debt collector can't come back with proof that you owe the debt, they're not allowed to contact you anymore. Make Debt Collectors Prove You Owe .Even without sending a validation request, debt collectors have certain rules they must follow when it comes to contacting you over the phone. For example, they can't call you before 8 a.m. or after 9 p.m. your local time. They can't call you repeatedly, and they can't call you at anytime you've previously stated is inconvenient. For specific situations timing of debt collector calls check out When Can Debt Collectors Call. There's no law that says you have to communicate with a debt collector by phone. If you hang up on a debt collector there is nothing they can do about it. But, if the collector continues to call you repeatedly even after you have hung up on them, they are in violation of the FDCPA. All you have to do to stop debt collectors from calling you is tell them that you prefer to communicate with them in writing. Written communication works in your favor because it gives you a record of everything that is said. If the debt collector violate the FDCPA, you have hard evidence that could lead to a lawsuit in your favor. The surest way to stop debt collectors from calling you is by sending what is known as a cease and desist letter. In the letter, state that the collector should cease and desist further communication with you. Note that the cease and desist letter only applies to debt collectors, not the original creditor.  Read more at : About.com Credit / Debt Management

Jerry Black leaves a message -this phone call may be recorded-, says they are open until 6PM. Calls my work phone, Im a govt employee. Very forceful and angry sounding. Got no interest in responding to someone who sounds like "pretending to be authorities". Dont call MY number and leave a message sounding like you have a 'right' to attack me or bother me at work.You dont!

This person called wanted to speak with my daughter, when I asked what he wanted he invoked the HIPAA law...what an idiot. HIPAA laws deal with medical privacy not collections. Very rude and condescending; Jerry Black is the name of the individual and I believe he is with a collection agency

Loser company.  Didn't have a clue as to what they are talking about.

They did the same to me the last two days looking for a 'Sarah' so I called them back and told them they had the wrong number and to take my number off their list.

Keep calling my Mom, asking for me.  I owe nothing to anybody, so I am not sure at all what it is they want for me.....but I do want them to quit bothering my Mom.  My mom had to call back to find out what company it is that she keeps getting these calls from.  Although she tells them I no longer live there, they continue calling her.

Showed up on my caller ID as 406406. Very unpleasant people to deal with, especially Taylor. Google search returns http://www.centronservices.com

Starts message off with, "This phone call may be recorded....This is Jery Black with Helena, You need to call us etc.  " Maybe if they correctly identified themselves, they might get a call back.

"Nikki White" keeps calling and leaving messages for "Chester".  I've never heard of "Chester".  Don't know why they keep calling for him on my phone.

Insisted a Mary Grace was available at my phone number - we have had this number for 4 years and no Mary Grace has lived here --- first said Mary Grace had supplied this number to contact her and later in the conversation said they found the listing on dex on line and that it wasn't hard to find her number. Obvisously it is, because they haven't found it yet!  Rude!

forceful and untruthful collection agency. first identified themselves as a police officer. demanded information or else. then called and identified themselves as an IRS agent.

WOULD NOT INDENTIFY COMPANY
