I got a call from 1-800-235-5908 this evening.  They did not give a company name, and the gentleman leaving the message did NOT speak english very well.  The message was 4 minutes long, with very long pauses.  He said he was "attempting to collect a debt for a Collector".  That was it, and asked me to call back.  I do not know who they are, but my caller ID says "800 Service".  I'm not calling it back.

I received a call from 800-235-5908 as well with the same observations as below. The gentleman continued to repeat that the message was intended for my name only. He did not provide the company from which he was calling for.

i just started getting this number calling my cell phone like a week ago - i never answer and they never leave a message -- since they call like 10 times a day, i may just answer to see who it is now...i will update this posting when i find out

This number calls all day long the most recent being 5:33am. Once in awhile I'll get a voicemail of a man named vincent gray who cuts off his message except him repeating his name and the number. Either he can never wait for the beep to start his message or he is just that stupid.. Either way I'll never answer or call back.

Hi I receivd a call from 800-235-5908 they say they are callin frm a company named BAY AREA CREDIT SERVICES and they are attempting to collect a debt......
I gave a cal back to know what is the matter, some guy named MALCOLM replied and then i found out that there was a crecit card bill under my name. . . .
I wanted help from them to pay the bill off and they were very helpful....I really appreciate their work .....they are trying to help us and they were not at all rude  to me........so if you think that the ebt collectors are rude then i think that you should try talking to them instead of running away and they will be there to help you....And beleive me this is a personal experience i had

Nice try Ronald.  How much did they pay you for those comments?  LOL

Calls continuously and leaves inaudible message.

SOME TIPS WHICH WOULD HELP TO TACKEL COLLECTION CALLS
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Requesting everybody getting messages to call them in order they get rid of this call for ever.

Help your self by helping them to rectify their record if they are wrong, because there are many people out there close to you not paying their bill eventuall come to haunt you only becaus e some or the other way thay are related to you.

Make their job easier corperate and you would benifit from it, you may never know.

If its not you why worry just call them and ask to take your number off and call would stop, confirm what ever he ask you to do so but never give your socials out but answer all his question in YES/NO only*  

If it may turns out to be your debt, find a way to resolve it, its in your half to figure what you can actually pay and what you cant,  pay only if you are capable to doso , else they can't do anything(REMEMBER this wont help you not your credit scores).

Else an other option is ask them what they can close the bill for(ask for a discount) and if that is in the collectors or his supervisor capability he will offer you the best deal to get rid of the account (this will help to clear your account faster and will result in necessary changes on you credit report faster insted of geting into payment plan decade basis).

The other thing could happen is, it could be someone else(family/friend in most cases)who has commited a fraud against you & you suffer because of it, then this people can help to resolve it again, so coperate with them, undersant thay are trying their best to do what is good for you.

Remember that they are human as you are what they are not from the same country thay are more helpful and soft spoken then your own country men.

Using profanity wont help you, doesnot affect them at all, so although you are fustrated try atlest not to be unprofessional, cause using profanity to run-away from a debt states person being irrresponsible,(REM: they cant reply you back because they are not allowed to, and they dnt want too, else they would, they are been more sensible then what you think you are)

** whatever information you give to them is safe and withheld to the person you disclose to and is immediatly destroyed when the purpose of it is over normally it should and if you find out any misuse of you bank account/card  information you are open to do what you think is best for you.

any grevience regarding the tips please help to bring it to notice by bloging and help would be provided.

called before 8 AM a clear violation of the Fair debt collection act.  Just finished filing my complaint with the FTC.  Hope they nail these guys.  Calling before 8 and calling up to 10 times a day.  Can't or won't validate the debt like I asked or tell me anything about it.  Just keep trying to get information from me.

I received a call from this number, and it was a debt collector, saying I had charged over 2000 on allied bank card.  Never had such a credit card
filed banruptcy in 2005 and wiped all debt out???  What a dumb a** these
people are.

Neither are you "Deepak"

I get a call on my cell phone, which is not listed in my name, from this number at least once every other day or so.  They never leave a message...

Calling the number back, they answer as Bay Area Credit Service.

Its above not below. You are not American
