It's LDG Financial. They were representing Wachovia Bank. It was an old debt that I did owe them, although it was not entirely my doing.

The woman was extremely nice, listened to my situation and worked out a hardship settlement of about 60%, which I was able to pay.

One less debt on the books! Hallelluiah!!!

This company keeps calling for someone else and will not stop.
I am reporting them to the AG's office.

Calls come at 8:40 a.m. everyday of the week. When we answer, they hang up.

continue receiving Collection calls from this and other numbers, they are for the person who had this number before me seven years ago

I just received a call from this number on my office and work cell number.  I know none of these are listed on any personal account that I have.  All they leave is a name and number.  Has anyone called this back?

...been getting calls at least once a week. I'm registered on the do-not-call registry but they continue to call. I never answer because I thought it would be some marketing company! [:o(

Repeated calls on cell. Very annoying.  PLEASE stop these callers.

The people simply called my number and then said nothing, kind of like the creepy telephone calls that are in the movies minus the heavy breathing or creepy messages.

This # keeps calling my daughters phone , they are looking for a James A.
Parker.I have told them they have a wrong number and so has my husband.'Just a few minutes ago they called and I returned the call ,they
said they would remove our phone number from there records. So annoying
that my young daughter has bill collectors calling and she doesn't even
have any bills yet.

Here is the link to the above article:

http://consumerlawyer.typepad.com/blog/2008/02/the-do-not-call.html

Under the TCPA, a consumer has a right to file a lawsuit and recover $500 for each call that violates the TCPA. The TCPA can also be used in conjunction with the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act in some situations.  

Generally, the TCPA does not apply to debt collectors making collection calls to debtors. However, if you are subjected to calls from a debt collector and you are not the debtor, you may file a lawsuit against the debt collector under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) and the TCPA.

This right was recently recognized by Judge Legrome D. Davis in a case called Watson v. NCO Group, Inc.  NCO Group is a debt collector that uses automated prerecorded collection calls.  In this case, Mr. Watson alleged he was getting hundreds of calls from NCO Group after he got a new phone number. Mr. Watson claimed he owed no debt to NCO Group, Inc.  Mr. Watson filed suit under both the FDCPA and TCPA.

David Israel, defense lawyer for NCO, argued that the TCPA should not apply to debt collectors.  Judge Davis rejected the argument made by David Israel. The judge ruled that Mr. Watson had a right to sue NCO Group Inc under the TCPA for $500 for each call.  Judge Davis wrote;

[The] Court is convinced that a non-debtor's rights are in fact violated when he is subjected to repeated annoying and abusive debt collection calls that he remains powerless to stop.

Judge Davis' ruling was based upon his interpretation that collection calls to non-debtors violate the privacy rights provided by the TCPA.  

So what can you do if you receive "wrong number" calls from debt collectors?

1. Sign up for the Do-Not-Call registry.
2. Save the calls captured by your voice mail or answering machine.
3. Contact a consumer lawyer.

800-458-7451--After letting go to voice, they say if you are "so-so" press 1, if you are not "so-n-so", please hold and someone will be with you.
Also, If you are not " so-so" please do not listen to this message, but if you are "so-so", please hold for 3 seconds, to validate that you are "so-so" please listen to the following message. SICK  OF IT!!! If reporting be harrassed helps.....why not.....they sure like to run ya to run to the freaken phone........
OVER AND OVER AND OVER....

Also, i have a cell phone that can block numbers, its the Samsung Eternity. If they are calling your cell, try this phone out, touch phone, very nice, fairly low price considering what people are asking for in terms of cell phone cost, and the call blocker is just built into the phone, its not a service

Well im glad i looked the number up online, i just got my first phone call today from them about an hour ago. I have student loans i have to pay back but that doesnt start for another 3 months so i dont know who these guys think they are

Everyday at 8:40 a.m. this number calls.
When answered, they hang up.

These people have called our home phone number almost daily for nearly 3 years.  They are looking for someone named Hartnett, who does not live here, and I have no clue who he is.  I have spoken with their rep and told them to quit calling, to no avail.

This number has been calling me also I NEVER answer it,they just leave a message this is a proffessional debt collector, they are calling my cell phone (idiots) I have no idea what they are calling for? I dont owe anyone any money
they call sometimes 3 times a day they have been calling me for at least 1 year. Think they would get the picture by now?   Does anyone know if there is a cell phone that you can get that will block unwanted calls?

keep calling

I am on the National DO NOT call register and am very very tired of the repeated calls that continue to come to my phone from this 800 number.

Getting harassing calls from this number

Third time today!!!! once was automated machine asking for Tracy, not 10 minutes later call from another number asking for Tracy, Third time a "live" person asked for Tracy. No matter how many times you tell them wrong number they STILL keep calling

i called this number back.  they were looking for ann walsh.  are these people just calling random numbers?  I get a call like this just about every day, looking for some person i have never heard of.

did not ask for anyone. said they were a collection agency. the number is disconnected.

I have no idea who these ppl are.

Called 12 times in a row.

Getting calls almost daily as well.

LDG financial 1-800 458-7451 They call about a debt my 20 yo daughter owes them. I tried several times to let them know she left the state with no known address or phone. I can't get a person or a working voicemail.

It's LDG Financial. They were representing Wachovia Bank.

I have had a couple of calls from this number 1-800-458-7451 that leaves an automated message that says there are a professional debt collector.  They ask that I return the phone call.  When I have tried, it doesn't even ring.

My experience and sentiment is similar to that of Annoyed, though the calls come to my home phone. I'm a calligrapher and the sound of the phone ringing adversely affects my work to the point that I've had to turn the ringers off on all but one phone at the far end of the house. How can they be stopped?
