I was called from a 615 area code, and answered, because that's n my state. They said they were Verifax and gave a 800 # to call back. She said her name was Jesse , but could barely speak English! She's not Jesse ! She might be Kung ho ! Or some other foreign name!

Jackie 18153809637... has called people who I dont even work for to get info on me. Hmm too wierd

Verifacts called not the personell dept of the company that I work for but the garage instead and tricked the mechanic into thinking they were a company that I had applied to for employment. They asked him in depth questions about everything from punctuality to my integrity.

As an HR person, I completely agree.  I never release info without a signed court order or an employee waiver.  Too many risks.

Rcvd call at office, tried to explain person was sub-contractor not employee. Continued with questions. Can't wait to see what happens next.

How are folks supposed to keep and job and pay their bills when collection companies are interfering with your employment?

They claimed it was a credit verification and their main office is from Bangalore India.  They called my mental health agency and left a message to the receptionist to call. And I am unemployed and disabled.  So I presume that it is some scam or other.

Actually, your rudeness verifies what people are saying about the people who work for your company

they talked my dad into giving them my cell number   and now they are harrassing me at work and might loose my job because of this!!!!

Do not release any information to these people! They fail to state that indeed their pupose is to obtain information to sell to collection agencies. This is illegal, sue them like so many others are doing.

412-836-4132 has called me about 5 times for the past week

repeated calls from a company called Verifax or Verifacts.  They call multiple times every day, never leave a message.  I do not have caller id so I don't have the phone number they call from.  If I do answer, there's a delay and then an automated message saying this has been a call from Verifax or Verifacts.

So ANNOYING and absolutely ridiculous that they are allowed to do this type of calling.  Heaven help me if I ever answer and it's a live person, they're going to get an earful!!

Called. Left no real information.

These people keep calling me wanting someone that has nothing to do with me or this phone number. They need to stop calling and harassing me looking for this person.

glad i found this information. Someone in my office just verified my employment for them. They didnt even have my correct last name. SMH I am hot!!! I'm a let her know do not verify any information that I dont approve.

Unsolicited call for information

this phone number calling me 1 815 380 9528 and asking is this this person name...i have no idea who the world are they....and they said they work for Verifacts and need to verifired your mailing address...i said what....i am is a us citizen and living in the usa...there nothing wrong...i did not commit any crime so why they keep calling me ...and asking for some one name i have no idea...that so stupid... never trust these verifacts people.....wake up people..stop calling people around and asking ....so please never ever tell these people anythign of your id or anything....this can be stole id theft...

call my work made my boss very unhappy to have todeal wit them,

I have no idea why these b*****ds are calling my work!

It is illegal for a debtors or their representatives to call a person's place of employment UNLESS they have a court order and pursuing garnishment.  If you receive a court document showing a court date, make sure you show up, or the debtor will win by default!  If a garnishment is being pursued, they can only collect a nominal amount (each state may be different, but I believe it is about 10% of your pay BEFORE taxes).  If a company harrasses your employer, contact your state Attorney General's Office and report them.  Don't waste your time with the Better Business Bureau.  They have no legal power over stopping a creditor.  I hope this helps!

I see this is about calling companies but what I would like to know is why would they call a 1 person company such as mine??  I called 800 542 7434 and was told in  a voice mail to connect with ext
656

They called my new employer. What the heck is going on? How did they get the number? Who are they? I never heard of this company.

People said they were calling to verify my name and address~ Caller ID says its from Verifacts

How can I stop these people from calling me my job?

This number is calling my employer and I am not happy.  I don't remember giving anyone the permission to call my work. This is bad and could get me in big trouble with my employer.  This kind of stuff needs to be stopped.

Great professionalism.  Glad they have you as an employee- are did you already quit because you hate your job?

Actually moron, we dont work from home, we work in an office. PAY YOUR BILLS

also, if you want to return the call yourself you can choose to push # plus the extension number. you will just be put in the call from home guys mailbox and can leave whatever information or mis-information you want to get them off yer back.

They've been calling from different numbers and even called a relative of mine.  They indicated they are looking for "employment verification" because I had filled out an application. Total BS.  If your relative answers one question they will ask 10 more.  Make no mistake about it, it is a collection call unless you used to have a newspaper subscription.  They hire people to call from their homes (apparently this is a low paying work at home job - and they don't get paid if they get an answering machine) so you might see local or out of state phone numbers but they ask you to return the call to the 800 number above.  Oddly, same number from Sterling IL, 815-380-9503, also called me directly looking for a relative of mine!

If you ask them to take you off their call list, they just route your number to another one of their work-from-home jockeys.  They must work closely with the credit companies like TRW, because they are able to pull phone numbers and information from credit applications going as far back as student loan information. Best thing to do is ignore the calls or change your number.  Let your relatives know not to pass out your personal information.  If they contact your employer seeking employment verification all they can legally ask is if you are still employed there ("active" or "inactive").  Their collection practices are very aggressive and work on the fringe of legality.  Someday, they are going to get nailed with a major lawsuit for violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act because their work-at-home folks are poorly trained.

got this message.
