This number keeps calling requesting personal information from me and quoting federal regulations. Why would I give personal information to strangers over the phone???
| What to do 2012-01-24 15:09:36 Debt Collector |
If any of these numbers call you (866) 905-8941...(800) 876-5481...(888) 272-5543...(317) 578-6000...they are ALL related to collecting Student loans. Two of these numbers have called my home 4-5 times a day everyday for months. My husband answers the phone and he either gets dead air or a recorded message saying..."We are sorry we missed you (you didn't miss us moron's my husband is on the phone saying Hello) please call ******* in regard to your student loan. What student loan? We don't have a student loan. My daughter is still in a public High School.
Here is what to do with these annoying 1-800 numbers that call people they shouldn't be calling. If you have selective call forwarding with your phone service provider...add these numbers to it.. you can add up to 12. Then put in the number of a shutdown business to where these numbers will be forwarded to. When the call gets forwarded the robot will get beeps and then a message that the phone number they are trying to reach has been disconnected. From what I understand, when the robot dialer gets the beeps your phone number is removed from the robot. I set this up last night and I didn't get my usual 8am phone call from USA Funds who has called everyday 4-5 times a day for god knows how long. So it seems to have worked. If they catch on which I doubt since it isn't a real person and try from another number I will forward the new number to the Attorney General's office and they can deal with them :) So I suggest you try it because so far it is working LOL. Sometimes your phone will just ring once which just means it has been forwarded to the disconnected business number LOL

Just received a very aggressive call from this number on my cell requesting my DOB or SSN for verification purposes. Said it was a personal business matter that she could not disclose until I verified my info. I refused and she told me FINE i will note that you refused but this will not go away - we will stay in contact.
I dont owe anyone anything and I NEVER give out my cell # for business. Has to be a scam.

I got the same NCO 1-800-876-5481 on July 12'th 2011 @ 5:45 PM from a "Yolanda" asking me for the last 4 digets of my Social Sec. # for "verification purposes" and when I questioned who she represented she was addament that due to Fed. Law she was not at liberty to discuss whe she was and who NCO was and what they wanted. When I said I would be reporting her and NCO to the MA Att. General she laughed and said "go ahead and have her call me directly"
Smelled fishy and I don't give my SS # to anyone on the phone and no one should ever!
| Emily 2011-06-06 20:58:36 Unknown |
The voicemail said it was a debt collection agency. I received this call on a brand new pre-paid cell phone.

| poorcollegekid 2011-03-31 03:26:17 Debt Collector |
I also got a call from this number. It was a male voice recording saying they were a debt collection company and that I needed to contact Sarah Miller. I too only have student loans and I have not even graduated yet so I can't be anywhere near defaulting on them.
| Michelle 2010-12-09 22:18:03 Unknown |
I keep getting calls from this number saying I owe - Saint Petersburg General Hospital here in Fl. - I don't owe anyone - my insurance covers it all.
| Colene 2010-11-02 18:27:09 Debt Collector |
Pretty much the same as the other calls noted - they are calling my employer and I am receptionist.. Its automated message noting they are trying to collect a debt.. I just hang up but still annoying as they call once a day
| KayJ 2010-10-07 15:21:20 Unknown |
-Hey Cindy! What kind of accent did the woman have? Thank you in advance & ~God bless!~
| KayJ 2010-10-07 15:17:36 Unknown |
-Hey Chris! This is in response to your following statement, "I don't owe anyone money except sallie mae". I too have received a couple or so calls from this telephone number, (800)876-5481, and this seems to be the one thing that we have in common.....We both owe 'Sallie Mae'. I know they have their own people, or "henchmen", as you put it :), but maybe they are doing something new in regards to their billing/collections policies, or maybe when/if someone gets far enough behind on payments(a predetermined amount known to them & not us at this point), they turn it over to this company that is phoning us to try and collect? I mean, IDK...I'm just guessing. Have a great day & ~God bless!~

They come on like a scam, looking for personal information such as birthdate and last 4 of you social to verify if it's YOU.
Overly pushy and won't get another second of my time.
I'm not late on payment paying every month.
Rude to me, double back. Rene, don't call again.
| KRIS 2010-09-23 17:34:19 Debt Collector |
The voicemail was a recording of a woman with a British accent, which inserted an agent's name: Sarah Miller, asked me to call back @ the 800-876-5481. The reference # was my cell phone #. Very strange.
| Anna 2010-09-16 23:28:03 Unknown |
I got two calls from this number today. It's just a woman with a British accent saying it's not a sales call can to hold for important information-- nothing else. I don't know if it's a legit call or not, but if YOU call ME, don't ask me hold!
| Cindy 2010-04-21 15:21:49 Debt Collector |
Keep getting calls from these people.An automated message plays with A lady with an accent says this is a debt collections agency and this is an important message from MCO financial services. Please call back "Sarah Miller" blah blah blah.
| HIDE 2009-11-09 20:52:57 Debt Collector |
I answered and it was a recording asking me to call back because there was some debt that I owed. I tried calling back and i was on hold for about 2 to 3 minutes and hung up. Im not sure what debt their referring to but i hung up. The compnay was NCO financial and it was an attempt to collect a debt.
| BO 2009-08-29 13:46:24 Unknown |
Recieved a call today continued to ask if they were calling a specific address (why ask if you called). I hung up On call back the recording says MCO finanical Systems.
Don't owe anyone seems like a scam

Received a call saying i had an outstanding balane due from the Mass General Hospital.
| athena 2009-01-07 19:08:05 Unknown |
I got a call from this number today. It was a woman's voice saying that this is an important message, and that this is a call from debt collection company, and cited reference number.
I don't have any debt. So this is CLEARLY another bullshxt, unless they are inappropriately organized institution such that they'd make a call like this to wrong phone numbers.
I really hate these calls. They should all go to hell.
| Peter-ed out! 2008-06-27 00:49:10 Debt Collector |
I have received as many as 3 calls/day, including Sundays for the past 3 months from this company. I called them back ONCE to report they are calling a wrong number as they are looking for "Peter" and there's no one here by that name. I have told their representatives repeatedly that they are calling the wrong number. I have reminded them that I am on the DO NOT CALL list. They have no idea who I AM! Short of changing my phone # of 20 years, how do I stop this incessant harrassment?
| chris 2008-04-01 23:17:04 Debt Collector |
i've gotten a call from this as well, automated, "Stein Collection Agency" or something... I listened to the voicemail but didn't call back. I don't owe anyone money except sallie mae, and she has her own henchmen...
| SAM 2008-03-12 02:14:01 Unknown |
Got automated call--a woman- didn't ID herself or who she wanted. Said she was calling about "an important business matter that has ccome to her office, that this wasn't a slaes call...the sooner we call her back..the sooner she could help us with this matter" I have No idea who she is. Voice was tinny..recording was wearing out.

I just received a call from 1-800-876-5481 to my fax number. There were no messages and my caller ID gave the number that called.
