You can inform them the person for which they are looking is no at that number and request they stop calling. If they continue calling you can do several things:

1. If you are on the Do Not Call registry you can file a complaint with them regarding the number.
2. You can file a complaint on the online BBB regarding them (if the company exists).
3. You can file a complaint with the court and sue them for illegal collection practices.

NO MORE PHONE CALLS TO THIS NUMBER PLEASE

Unidentified female caller stating that this was not a solicitation call and requesting that I push #9 for an important message. When I did not respond she requested I return her call for an important message.

called @ 7:25 p.m. recorded message with a mechanical name I could not make out saying to call 800-358-4427 for an important message she also gave a mechanical reference number to give when I call. I did not call since the name did'nt sound like mine.

Who is this they won't leave message

this number called me now and left no message...its not a debt collector agency or credit bureau i dont think because it is 1 800. I am pretty sure its just an online college that spammed  from surfing the internet with the ad on the page...ill keep everyone updated cuz i get super pissed and unleash verbal fury. they call me the dragon cuz i blow smoke in n****s faces

Have gotten many calls from this number, but they never leave a message. When I tried to call back a few times, the message tree kicks me to a "6901" extension that never answers! What a lousy way to run a business. When I finally answered a call from them one day, it turns out it was for a department store card we had NEVER used...supposedly it had a small balance on it from 2 years ago, but we had gotten the card UNSOLICITED almost 3 years ago. Shredded it and called to make sure they cancelled it. They said everything was fine.....now these calls. Not sure how to handle this now!

This number calls at random times durring the day. no idea how they got my number and they never leave a message. Im thinking it may be related to a craigslist scam.  I know it cant be a debt collector cause I have no debt!   How do I get them to stop!?!?

automated message on work phone to call this number back and reference a file number -- no company nor caller info.  They want a call back, leave more info than that.  Like what company, and why.

Was called on numberous occasions, claimed to be collecting for a JC Penny account that I have never had.  They gave me a birth date and an address to confirm, but the information was not mine, I confirmed 3 different occasions that their information was not correct.  They asked for my personal information like SSN, DOB, and address.  I refused to give this infomation and I suggest you do the same, seems like a scam to collect information for identity theft.  Last call was very harrassing and agent used threatening tones and told me that if I did not give him my information then the harrassing phone calls would continue.  My next move is going to be to block the number(s) that they use.

Receive calls at least once a day from this ridiculous company, they've been told EVERY TIME that the person they are calling for DOES NOT exist at the number they are calling, that we've had the number for almost 2 years etc and so on and they've been told to remove the number from their computer generated data base, yet once again they called this AM.  I again told them to stop calling, hung up then turned the tables and called them back.  Got a person on the line, told them the same thing and he asked for the number, to which I replied "you just called it 2 seconds ago, so go by *insert persons name they are using here* and remove the last number you called looking for her from the database or you and your company will be reported to every agency I can think of for harassment and my lawyer will be in contact."  We'll see if that works........it did on a scammer biz that was calling daily.

got a call every day from a machine for a person i don't know, asked to call and leave my name and number for them to update the records,........all automated no people

I received a call at my work a few times and it would disconnect after I say my name. I called back and informed them not to call my work again. If they do, I will report it. They know they are not allowed to do that that is why they were calling and hanging up.

This # has been calling my phone every single day at least 3 times a day leaving me a voicemail of some account number...I've googled it a few times and put it off, finally today I called them back...It is a Collection Agency. It's called Bonded Collection Corporation. The guy I spoke with gave me the amount...and he gave me a settlement amount. I told him I don't get paid till the end of this month so I will figure out my bills and to stop calling me till I return his call towards the end of the month. He said he would note it on my account. I believe it is a debt I owe, so I will be looking into this further. But their calls are harassing because they call at least 3 times every single day!

Someone called and left this number every day for over a month. It sounded like a robo call. It was an electronic voice that said "this is not a sales call. It is important that you call me back" and left a file number. I finally called and they asked me for my phone number. I gave it to them and then they gave me the last four digits of a social security # and asked if it was mine. When I said no, they said they'd delete my home phone number from their records. I recommend calling to get the issue resolved.

----------



Here is the reasoning behind the information you are asking. Although this may be time consuming to read, its rewards are fruitful and worth its weight in gold.


TIP 1: Always ask for original documentation. Why? With the advance in technology anyone can ?digitize? your signature on a document and photocopy it.


TIP 2: In the event that you become the defendant in court for a ?debt suit? you can deny your photo copied signature that could have been placed their through digitization. Without original signatures, the court has no competent evidence to validate the debt and you can question the authenticity of documentation that may have been forged for you to lose. With your signature in original form you know exactly what documents you have signed.


TIP 3: Ask for front and back of documents in question.Without this the court has nothing to rely on or has competent evidence to validate a debt.


TIP 4: A lawyer must have a license to act as debt collector in his province or state. A lawyer?s mandate is everything other than that of a debt collector. Ask for his debt collector?s license, in or out of court. Ask for originals. Watch them take a step back. Then sue them for extortion! After all one of their functions (as mentioned above) is to ?work on both sides of the court?.


TIP 5: In court always ask the question to be repeated. Let the judge know that you want the compound questions asked one at a time


1. Proof of indebtness: If you borrow $4000 from me I can show the court that $4000 came out from my bank account and was given to you to your account etc. I?m $4000 poorer. A bank/creditor cannot verify that because their money in created on a computer by the push of a button. This is known as ?digitally created credit?. By asking for proof of indebtness you are saying, ?Prove to me that you are poorer. Let me see that the money in question came out from your account?. A creditor cannot validate their claim. There is no debt! The money was created out of thin air. Without this, the court has no competent evidence to validate the debt.


2. Full disclosure of the alleged debt- You are asking for every piece of document including the creditors underwriting policy. Without this document, the court has no competent evidence to validate the debt.


3. Full accounting of the alleged debt: You are asking for the ?general ledger? of each and every contract/transaction showing all receipts and disbursements. Creditors/banks possess no general ledger statement verifying the debt. Without this document, the court has no competent evidence to validate the debt.


4. Original promissory note: When you borrow on a note, and the note is satisfied, the debt is discharged. Any loan/credit card must be backed up by a ?promise to pay?. Without this document, the court has no competent evidence to validate the debt. Asking for ?original documentation? makes it even harder to validate the debt .Where the complaining party can not prove the existence of the note, there is no note. To recover on a promissory note the plaintiff must prove:


A) The existence of the note in question
B) That the party being sued signed the note
C) That the plaintiff is the owner of the note
D) That a certain balance is due and owing on the note


5. Original proof of purchase of alleged debt: As mentioned, collection agencies by ?junk debt?. The visa you owed was $6000 of ?digitally created credit?. The creditor lost nothing, but in turn sells the debt to Mr. Collection Agency for $200. Mr. Collection agency tries to extort $6000. Not a bad return on investment. Spend $200 and get $6000. By asking for the original purchase of the debt, the collection agency is selling them self short. They just indicated to the court that they purchased a debt to which they had no jurisdiction to collect on in the first place. They are fraudulently extorting money from you. The ball is in your court.


6. Proof that the debt is transferable: If you owe jack $$, you can?t say ?Hey Jack, Jill owes me $$. Go get your $$ from Jill. You still have to get your $$ from Jill in order to pay jack. No debt is transferable. You owe who you owe. In this case you owe the ?original creditor? not the collection agency. The collection agencies buy junk debt and operate under the influence of ?transfer of debt?. Transfer of debt in the commercial world is extortion and extortion is fraud!


7. Proof that the creditor?s ?Corporate Charter? is to sue: what you?re saying is ?let me see the creditors underwriting policy?. They won?t give it to you. Extortion leads to law suits (court action). If the original creditor has no mandate to sue in court then what the hell is the collection taking you to court for? Extortion (illegal confiscation of funds) and fraud what else! Without this document, the court has no competent evidence to validate the debt.


8. Proof of ?Original contract? between you and I (I meaning the collection agency) - If the is verification of original contract between yourself and the collection agency, then there must have been some financial obligation on your part to pay them $$ for a service or a loan/credit card. Since there was no contract with them there is no debt owing to them. Without this document, the court has no competent evidence to validate the debt.


9. Proof of ?Original contract? between ?Original creditor and myself? - If the is verification of original contract between yourself and the creditor, then there must have been some financial obligation on your part showing all assignments. Without submission of the original debt instrument, the court is without competent evidence that a contract has been breached or which party has standing to bring suit (court action) for breach.


10. Proof of my authorization to access my credit report- Collection Agencies? like going into people?s credit report. Every time a ?hit? is performed on your credit file your credit score (also known as beacon score) drops by 7 points. An entry is placed in the ?enquiry column? of your credit file. It will look like this:


22/05/2008 NCO Financial Services Inc. 1-866-345-7985
15/10/2007 Royal Bank Visa 416-777-2233
07/09/2007 Total Credit Recovery Ltd. 1-888-999-8888



Every time you apply for credit an enquiry is placed on the ?enquiry list?. This tells other creditors ?This guy is going here there and everywhere for credit and can?t get it?. As a result you are denied credit no matter where you go, especially if the ?collection agency enquiry? is at the top of the enquiry list, like you see above.


So you can confirm that they accessed your credit file by checking your file yourself to see if they have placed judgments or looking in the ?enquiry column?. You can sue them for this because false judgments placed by collection agencies prevent you from getting future credit. This results in financial and emotional loss to you.


Example: You want to buy a home and need a mortgage but cannot get it because there are judgments on there placed on your credit file illegally. This causes significant emotional and financial loss.


11. Proof of my authorization to sell my account- if the account has been sold it simply means that the creditor did not give you full disclosure. If you are obligated to pay them, why are they selling?
your account to a collection agency? The original creditor is in dishonor. This is a breach of their obligation. You can sue the holder of the account. In this case it will be the collection agency.


12. Proof that the creditor charter is to engage in consumer lending- as mentioned all debt by so called creditors is ?digitally created credit?, that is money created out of thin air, just by the push of a computer button. If a creditor can lend ?real money? it will be outlined in their mandate. Just as they have the right to ask for information when you apply for credit, you as a customer also have the right to ask for full disclosure of information too. Without sufficient documentation, the court has no competent evidence to validate the debt.
Creditors don?t have $$ to lend, therefore they do not have the capacity to enter into a binding contract.


13. The purchase of debt by your collection agency or lawyer, in the name of the original make of the debt is committing fraud. Collection agencies use the creditors name for extortion. Lawyers buy debt and try to make a ?quick buck? by acting as a debt collector. The debt is non-transferable from the get go (as mentioned). A lawyer must have a license to act as debt collector in his province or state. A lawyers mandate is everything other than that of a debt collector. Ask for his license, in or out of court. Ask for originals. Watch them take a step back.


14. Being a law firm, the copy front and back of the contract for services which the creditor has with your law firm: Without this document, the court has no competent evidence to determine whether this suit was authorized by the original creditor. Without proof of delegation of authority to act, this count as ?prima facie? evidence of fraud.


15. If applicable being a law firm??.and not the original creditor?s loss: As mentioned lawyers also buy debt. Any lawyer who shows ?evidence of buying debt? is guilty of misdemeanor.
A lawyer who fabricates documents for the purpose of collecting shall be guilty of a felony!


16. Proof of valid license to collect debt in the province/state of _______. A lawyer has a license to practice law, not to collect debt. Lawyers enter into contract with creditors to collect debt in other states or provinces other than their own. This can win you favor in court. Not only can?t they collect debt, but they also do it outside of their jurisdiction. You can be awarded additional $$ from the courts.

These people left two messages at my parent's home in the last 2 days, the second at 7 AM. When I called them and demanded they cease and desist, they claimed to have "no control" over automated calls.  They also claimed I was liable for two catalogue accounts under my name (wrong middle initial) in another state, both over 4 years old.  They asked for both my SSN# and my bank account information.  Very nasty, very underhanded people.

Debt Collection FAQs: A Guide for Consumers
If you?re behind in paying your bills, or a creditor?s records mistakenly make it appear that you are, a debt collector may be contacting you.

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the nation?s consumer protection agency, enforces the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), which prohibits debt collectors from using abusive, unfair, or deceptive practices to collect from you.

Under the FDCPA, a debt collector is someone who regularly collects debts owed to others. This includes collection agencies, lawyers who collect debts on a regular basis, and companies that buy delinquent debts and then try to collect them.

Here are some questions and answers about your rights under the Act.

What types of debts are covered?
The Act covers personal, family, and household debts, including money you owe on a personal credit card account, an auto loan, a medical bill, and your mortgage. The FDCPA doesn?t cover debts you incurred to run a business.

Can a debt collector contact me any time or any place?
No. A debt collector may not contact you at inconvenient times or places, such as before 8 in the morning or after 9 at night, unless you agree to it. And collectors may not contact you at work if they?re told (orally or in writing) that you?re not allowed to get calls there.


How can I stop a debt collector from contacting me?

If a collector contacts you about a debt, you may want to talk to them at least once to see if you can resolve the matter ? even if you don?t think you owe the debt, can?t repay it immediately, or think that the collector is contacting you by mistake. If you decide after contacting the debt collector that you don?t want the collector to contact you again, tell the collector ? in writing ? to stop contacting you. Here?s how to do that:

Make a copy of your letter. Send the original by certified mail, and pay for a ?return receipt? so you?ll be able to document what the collector received. Once the collector receives your letter, they may not contact you again, with two exceptions: a collector can contact you to tell you there will be no further contact or to let you know that they or the creditor intend to take a specific action, like filing a lawsuit. Sending such a letter to a debt collector you owe money to does not get rid of the debt, but it should stop the contact. The creditor or the debt collector still can sue you to collect the debt.

Can a debt collector contact anyone else about my debt?
If an attorney is representing you about the debt, the debt collector must contact the attorney, rather than you. If you don?t have an attorney, a collector may contact other people ? but only to find out your address, your home phone number, and where you work. Collectors usually are prohibited from contacting third parties more than once. Other than to obtain this location information about you, a debt collector generally is not permitted to discuss your debt with anyone other than you, your spouse, or your attorney.

What does the debt collector have to tell me about the debt?
Every collector must send you a written ?validation notice? telling you how much money you owe within five days after they first contact you. This notice also must include the name of the creditor to whom you owe the money, and how to proceed if you don?t think you owe the money.

Can a debt collector keep contacting me if I don?t think I owe any money?
If you send the debt collector a letter stating that you don?t owe any or all of the money, or asking for verification of the debt, that collector must stop contacting you. You have to send that letter within 30 days after you receive the validation notice. But a collector can begin contacting you again if it sends you written verification of the debt, like a copy of a bill for the amount you owe.


What practices are off limits for debt collectors?

Harassment. Debt collectors may not harass, oppress, or abuse you or any third parties they contact. For example, they may not:

use threats of violence or harm;
publish a list of names of people who refuse to pay their debts (but they can give this information to the credit reporting companies);
use obscene or profane language; or
repeatedly use the phone to annoy someone.

False statements. Debt collectors may not lie when they are trying to collect a debt. For example, they may not:

falsely claim that they are attorneys or government representatives;
falsely claim that you have committed a crime;
falsely represent that they operate or work for a credit reporting company;
misrepresent the amount you owe;
indicate that papers they send you are legal forms if they aren?t; or
indicate that papers they send to you aren?t legal forms if they are.

Debt collectors also are prohibited from saying that:

you will be arrested if you don?t pay your debt;
they?ll seize, garnish, attach, or sell your property or wages unless they are permitted by law to take the action and intend to do so; or
legal action will be taken against you, if doing so would be illegal or if they don?t intend to take the action.

Debt collectors may not:

give false credit information about you to anyone, including a credit reporting company;
send you anything that looks like an official document from a court or government agency if it isn?t; or
use a false company name.

Unfair practices. Debt collectors may not engage in unfair practices when they try to collect a debt. For example, they may not:

try to collect any interest, fee, or other charge on top of the amount you owe unless the contract that created your debt ? or your state law ? allows the charge;
deposit a post-dated check early;
take or threaten to take your property unless it can be done legally; or
contact you by postcard.

Can I control which debts my payments apply to?
Yes. If a debt collector is trying to collect more than one debt from you, the collector must apply any payment you make to the debt you select. Equally important, a debt collector may not apply a payment to a debt you don?t think you owe.

Can a debt collector garnish my bank account or my wages?
If you don?t pay a debt, a creditor or its debt collector generally can sue you to collect. If they win, the court will enter a judgment against you. The judgment states the amount of money you owe, and allows the creditor or collector to get a garnishment order against you, directing a third party, like your bank, to turn over funds from your account to pay the debt.

Wage garnishment happens when your employer withholds part of your compensation to pay your debts. Your wages usually can be garnished only as the result of a court order. Don?t ignore a lawsuit summons. If you do, you lose the opportunity to fight a wage garnishment.

Can federal benefits be garnished?
Many federal benefits are exempt from garnishment, including:

Social Security Benefits
Supplemental Security Income (SSI) Benefits
Veterans? Benefits
Civil Service and Federal Retirement and Disability Benefits
Service Members? Pay
Military Annuities and Survivors? Benefits
Student Assistance
Railroad Retirement Benefits
Merchant Seamen Wages
Longshoremen?s and Harbor Workers? Death and Disability Benefits
Foreign Service Retirement and Disability Benefits
Compensation for Injury, Death, or Detention of Employees of U.S. Contractors Outside the U.S.
Federal Emergency Management Agency Federal Disaster Assistance
But federal benefits may be garnished under certain circumstances, including to pay delinquent taxes, alimony, child support, or student loans.

Do I have any recourse if I think a debt collector has violated the law?
You have the right to sue a collector in a state or federal court within one year from the date the law was violated. If you win, the judge can require the collector to pay you for any damages you can prove you suffered because of the illegal collection practices, like lost wages and medical bills. The judge can require the debt collector to pay you up to $1,000, even if you can?t prove that you suffered actual damages. You also can be reimbursed for your attorney?s fees and court costs. A group of people also may sue a debt collector as part of a class action lawsuit and recover money for damages up to $500,000, or one percent of the collector?s net worth, whichever amount is lower. Even if a debt collector violates the FDCPA in trying to collect a debt, the debt does not go away if you owe it.

What should I do if a debt collector sues me?
If a debt collector files a lawsuit against you to collect a debt, respond to the lawsuit, either personally or through your lawyer, by the date specified in the court papers to preserve your rights.

Where do I report a debt collector for an alleged violation?
Report any problems you have with a debt collector to your state Attorney General?s office (www.naag.org) and the Federal Trade Commission (www.ftc.gov). Many states have their own debt collection laws that are different from the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. Your Attorney General?s office can help you determine your rights under your state?s law.

Got the same call this morning from 800-358-4427 ("BCC"), a lady stating it is "very important that I call her back regarding file #-----."  I don't recognize the account number and even if I did, with the economy being as it is, I definitely don't have the money to be paying off anything other than what is absolutely neccessary for my family and I.  Anything else can just wait...and keep waiting.  Stand in line, I say.  If it was truly "important" I certainly would have made sure it got paid and never became a "debt" to begin with.  "BCC" needs to move on to the next person on their calling list because I am going to continue to hit the "Ignore" button anytime I see their number.  Sooner or later they'll give up.

Received a call today for my daughter who has not live here in over 10 years. They were very harassing and definitely a collection agency by the name of ccc or bcc. The guy said his name was Gregory

Said they were with BCC, a collection agency.  Called repeatedly at an unlisted number (my parent's home) and my cell phone referencing an "important account" that is not only NOT mine, it is from a company I have never done business with.  They have refused to stop calling.

it's the collection agency, you know what?  they can go f*** themselves because i paid my company the money that was charged to my account 7  years ago and now suddenly i owe that money again?


f*** them.

Received a call from "Jerry" form Bcc or Dcc regarding an account number that I do not have.  Said it was very important that I call him.

"I guess you owe money" is very funny, but WRONG!!! I have been receiving harrassing phone calls from this number asking about someone else. These calls have nothing to do with me, but they keep calling asking about someone else. I have continually asked themm to stop calling me but they don't. Now what???

My friend got a call from this number, when she returned the call she found out they were looking for her because of her past due balance with a catalogue store back to 2006. She didn't even know this was affecting her credit... so yeah it is indeed a collection agency called Bonded Collection Corporation. If you got a call from them... i guess you owe money! ;)
