These people call every day around noon. It is a recorded message for a Bobby someone and if I am not that person to hang up. Of course I hang up, it is not for me.  I usually let my phone ring as I don't answer 800 numbers, or unknown caller numbers, then I have to mess around getting all their calls deleted from my answering machine!!  I am sick of this, I have had this telephone number for over 5 years, I do not owe ANYONE any kind of money.  Where did they get this number and why do they keep calling?  I would like to sue them and get paid for some of the time I have spent o their calls!!

Same MO for me - very garbled robotic messages 2-3 x's/day on my cell, initially asking for a Hispanic name that's really hard to understand and that if I'm not that person to call to let them know - then if I remain on the line I am confirming that I'm that person.  I almost called them to indicate that - then my husband started getting the same exact calls on his cell, and they're looking for the same "person"!  So I'm not going to call back.

This number calls at least three times a week seeking, in a fake British accent, an "Anthony James Hardymon".  I always hang up but sometimes there are messages when I've been away, instructing me to "press 1 if you are not..." but of course I haven't done that, either.    The robocall announces that it is an attempt to collect a debt.  I suppose that is how they hope to get around the "do not call" laws.  I have no idea who this person or company is. Can somebody make them stop?

Oh, and the corporation wiki has many more names if someone was interested in that...

They've started calling me again looking for someone who used to live 2 streets over (who unfortunately had the same street address number as me.) I've called them back numerous times to have them stop but that doesn't work. Left a complaint with the BBB - nothing happened. So now I call them and leave the phone by the tv speaker for about 15 minutes twice a night. I figure they're getting charged for the 800 number as well and the cents per minute inbound.
I did a little digging and found that they had their license suspended in AZ for their collection practices: http://www.azdfi.gov/Consumers/PublicRecords/Forms/Consent/PFS_Consent.pdf

The President of the company is Wesley F Hull, Statutory agent is Jeremy Gaffney, and Chairman is Louis Valerio.

Do with it what you will ;-)

Started getting the calls 2 days ago. I called and the first thing they asked.. for my ss#. I told them I don't just give it out over the phone and asked who they were calling. They asked my name and I wouldn't give it. They asked for my phone number, which I did give them as they had it already. I again asked for the name of the person they were trying to contact, I did not recognize the name and told the person that. I'll wait and see if they keep calling. If so, I will definitely report it.

My mom received a call from 1-800-347-1631..she is 83, they ask for me, now i havent lived or given my moms number out EVER! in the past 20 plus years, I wish they would stop!

U must be really board :/ thats sad..  :(

they have been calling for years and say i have a unpaid ticket from Phoenix AZ from 91

I've been getting calls from Progressive Financial for a guy named Andrew. I press 1 which means they have reached the wrong number. They still call and finally I called back. They say they don't have my office number in their system and so can't delete it! Then how are they calling me? This is my work number and it's very annoying to keep getting interrupted!
What can I do?

Called for Edgar when I said there is no one by that name here she asked how long I knew Edgar? Then I burned her ears off with some pretty explicit language and she hung up.

Gotta love this one.... Called looking for someone else. Asked for them to stop calling.  They continued. Spoke with a Mr Jose Hernandz, he admitted that I was not the correct party they were trying to reach AND I was taken off the call list but he called anyway.  I informed him that is harassment and reported the number.  Suddenly the calls have ceased

I just let it go to VM then delete. I figure it's costing them money and providing job security for a lot of people in the Communications Industry

they want me to pay a doctor bill for $29 ,she gave me my son's doc. name office, they ask me if I'm working, if I can give them my work's phone number, I said no and she said well we need to know where the money is coming from...WHAT?, after that I said I will call back, Why are asking for that?? CRAZYYYY...SCAM..

I just got a call from them at 420 in the morning!

Very important!  Do not pay them a penny until they give you something in writing and most importantly, do not give them any bank, debit or credit card information.

So true! Agreed

Receiving 2-3 calls a day from them -no name when they say who they are calling for. Have called their number 800-347-1631 to report and cancel calls -they (Jeremy) hung up on me! Now I get a recording that "all  circuits are busy please try your call later."

This number has called numerous time asking for Kyle.  IDK who Kyle is...This is my number and is there any way I could get them to stop calling me?

I have been getting voicemails and tons of missed calls from them (though I downloaded a Call Block app for my phone so now I dont have to worry about it). But it makes me so mad, especially when I read all these comments about how they are a scam. I owe NO money to anyone, I have no credit cards, nothing, everything has been long paid off so if they are trying to scam me, then they are trying to scam anyone. I hope no one gives them any info or the time of day. Lying thieves, how can these people live with themselves???

Last week, I finally, answer the phone to this number (800-347-1631). I female tells me they are Progressive Financial (a debt collection agency) trying to collect a nearly $200 debt. As I know I do have a debt out for books from an old college semester a few years back I think nothing of it being a scam. After I tell her (and rather curtly because the woman did not get on phone right away, it was an automated msg stating all representatives are busy...which pissed me off fro the start) a bit of my situation and that I can not pay right now. She gets so rude and honestly says, "Well maybe if you got a job you could pay your bills!" I couldn't believe it! No real knowledge of my situation (why I don't work). I ask to speak to her manager, she puts me on hold a second, then comes on to say she is transferring me and "you can tell him why you aren't paying your bills." I am on hold for 3 minutes before I hang up.

They call again everyday (even later that day from this number: 610-142-932...how I have no clue (not even a full number). I answer today to tell them I will pay in full until the woman says it's nearly $800. Wait! It was only $200 last week! She says that is the only account they have for me. I tell her I can not pay. (This woman is nice-ish) says they can set up a bill pay. I say I will have to let her know how much but can't right now. Instead of giving me a number to call she says she will just call back tomorrow. This, combined with the price difference (and no mention on either end of the problem child I had last week), I begin to wonder if this is legit.

They keep calling me despite the fact that I have informed them that there is no Hector Gonzalez at my number and to try Mexico as he probably ran up bills before he ran back over the border. I am in Az and there is so much identity theft and a huge illegal problem despite Janet Napolitano saying our borders are safe. What a joke....she couldn't handle Az as the governor but we are going to put her in charge of the country?

keep calling bi*** U R not getting any $ from me.

This number shows up on the home# and cell; turns out it's progressive financial who's  trying to collect a debt from 1991! Really I don't even know these people or what they are talking about.

What a bother and waste of my time, not to mention the service to even make the call.  I knew it was ka-pooy. The guy refused any info regarding - anything - and said it was a federal reg. to give out info. AND said it was critical to reach the person he called. Got his # which is the one sited above.

someone called said my son owed money and if was not said he could get in trouble had to be paid by friday and credit card western union or money order they gave a code city also so concerned i called and they wanted his last 4 of his social i did not have and we all of a sudden got disconected

I called a second time and all they told me before I really got pissed was it was about the University of Washington. I told the woman I never had anything to do with the University of Washington and it was a scam. Knowing that an agency like this had ruined my daughters credit I started getting worried. I googled Progressive Finance. It's a national company and there was nothing about a scam like there had been about the company that ruined my daughters credit when I googled it when she found out her credit was ruined. I called the home office figuring the people with the 800-347-1631 were using their name. The woman couldn't check that number but put my number in and it was not in their system. o I then called 800-347-1631 and my number was no longer in their system.

I recieved a message to call Progressive Finance. The woman had left an extention to call her at. A man answered not asking for the extension. The first thing he asked for was my SS. What a scam and that's just what I told him.

hate to inform u but if they r calling u they dont want to steal ur identity! trust me if u owe a debt no1 would want to steal that!!

please helpme they have sent me the same scam 600.00 dollar ticket from phoenix from 1990 how did you get rid of them? did they put it on your credit?
