I received the same exact message from a David Hines. He was very rude, threatened me when I attempted to work with him and then he hung up on me. When I tried to send these people proper documentation saying that they have the wrong information, the email address I was given was sent back to me as an invalid email address. These people are a joke.

Don't wait to file! Do it now! And keep any messages left on the message machine and keep a log . See if you can get the business address for them, then send them a certified cease and desist letter.  

Please do file reports with the FBI, your state attorney general and Department Of Justice,FTC & FCC..

*******************************
Section 809 of the FDCPA http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/consumer/credit/cre27.pdf requires 3rd-party debt collectors to give debtors written notice of debt (the key word is *shall*) :
"§ 809. Validation of debts
(a) Within five days after the initial communication with a consumer in connection with the collection of any debt, a debt collector shall, unless the following information is contained in the initial communication or the consumer has paid the debt, send the consumer a written notice containing?
(1) the amount of the debt;
(2) the name of the creditor to whom the debt is owed;
(3) a statement that unless the consumer, within thirty days after receipt of the notice, disputes the validity of the debt, or any portion thereof, the debt will be assumed to be valid by the debt collector;
(4) a statement that if the consumer notifies the debt collector in writing within the thirty-day period that the debt, or any portion thereof, is disputed, the debt collector will obtain verification of the debt or a copy of a judgment against the consumer and a copy of such verification or judgment will be mailed to the consumer by the debt collector; and
(5) a statement that, upon the consumer?s written request within the thirty-day period, the debt collector will provide the consumer with the name and address of the original creditor, if different from the current creditor."
****************************************
A Collection Agent May Not?

Here are the top 11 actions prohibited by the The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act:

Misrepresent Him or Herself

  A debt collector may not misrepresent himself as an attorney or law enforcement officer.

Use the Telephone to Annoy or Harass

  A collection agent may not cause a telephone to ring or engage any person in telephone conversation repeatedly or continuously with an intent to annoy, abuse, or harass anyone at the called number.

Threaten Arrest or Lawsuit

  A collection agent may not threaten a consumer with arrest. It may not threaten legal action that is either not permitted or not actually contemplated. In other words, a the threat of a lawsuit may be an empty one.

Use Abusive or Threatening Language

  A debt collector may no use abusive or profane language in the course of communication related to the debt.

Publish a Bad Debt List

  Publishing the consumer?s name or address on a "bad debt" list is prohibited.

Contact By Embarrassing Media

  A debt collector may not communicate with a consumer by post card. It may not use any language or symbol, other than the debt collector?s address, on any envelope when communicating with a consumer by use of the mails or by telegram. A debt collector may use its business name if such name does not indicate it is in the debt collection business.

Contact a Consumer at Work

  A collection agent may not communicate with consumers at their place of employment after being told this is unacceptable or prohibited by the employer.

Seek Unjustifiable Amounts

  A debt collector may not demand any amounts not permitted under an applicable contract or as provided under law.

Contact a Consumer Represented by an Attorney

  A collection agent may not contact a consumer after it learns the consumer is represented by a lawyer.

Communicate With a Consumer After Receiving a Validation Request

  If a consumer sends a written §1692g response within 30 days, the collection agent may not communicate with the consumer until it mails the consumer the requested verification of original creditor's name and address.

Communicate With Third Parties

  A debt collector may not reveal or discuss the nature of a consumer?s debts with third parties other than the consumer?s spouse or attorney. A collection agent may contact neighbors or co-workers only to obtain location information. It may contact a third party again if it has reason to believe the information the party provided previously is false.

Bills.com FDCPA FAQ

Below are questions Bills.com readers ask frequently:

Can a Collection Agent Call My Cell Phone?

  Yes. However, if you tell the debt collector it may not use that number because it is a cell phone, it may not contact you again at that number.

I Keep Receiving Dozens of Calls From Collection Agents. Is That Legal?

  No. Unscrupulous collection agents will use "block parties" or "office parties" where they contact a consumer, multiple neighbors, or co-workers telling them they need to reach the consumer on an urgent matter. This is not permitted under the FDCPA.

A Collector Says I Will Be Arrested if I Do Not Pay

  This was a true statement before the US Civil War, but has not been true since. People may be arrested if an aggressive judge files a bench warrant for a person who does not appear at a hearing relating to a lawsuit regarding a debt. However, in that case, the offense is the failure to respond to a court order, and not the existence of the debt. As stated above, it is illegal under the FDCPA to threaten a consumer with arrest if the consumer does not pay the debt.

Alice Champion keeps calling and threatening you if you don't pay your debt something will happen to you,she needs to stop if not she will be reported to authorities for harassment charges.

The number (813) 283-4500 is the main number for Hunter Warfield. It's a debt collecting agency,   I'm guessing based on the area code it's located in Tampa Florida.
Be wary, because when they call, they try to act like they are a friend of yours.  
The guy who called me was like "Hey Meghan!" like all happy like he knew me, and when I asked him his name he said it was 'David Hine.'
I asked him who he wanted to speak to and what for and he just asked me if I was Meghan Chase and I said Meghan who? lol. And he then said never mind and hung up.
I called the number back & I got a voice recording of a lady saying she was David Hine's and was away from her desk or assisting another customer...

Anyway, note to debt collectors, if you don't want to identify yourself when you're calling MY number don't expect me to confirm who I am. Idiots.

BTW, he called from extension 4520.  
(813) 283-4520

Left message that if I dind't forward to at least 10  people I would find a dead girl in my room tonight !

I have a new TracPhone and started receiving calls from this number right away.  I usually get one about every day and either reject it or let it go into voicemail.  The voicemail is garbled.  The only thing I can understand is "if you are not (some person), etc.  There should not be a collection agency calling me for ANY reason.  How can I stop it?  It's using up my prepaid minutes, also.

So what they say its not true or it is?...  is it only apartment lease or hospital bills too??...

Anyone?????

Hunter Warfield...they have this prick by the name of Ghotti...that is really an Ah...le..

Hunter Warfield Inc. Legal Dept - They sue on defaulted apartment leases and funeral home debt on behalf of their clients.

They're a collection company representing old apartment leases. They can be very rude and even hang up on you when they realize that you know your legal rights.What I don't get is that they call several people surrounding the person in question (mother's cell phone, roommate's mother's house phone, etc...) weeks before even calling you directly. I mean, they have your phone number to begin with, so why call people not involved in any way? How did they even get those numbers?!?! It definitely goes above and beyond a harassing level.

this number keep calling tierd of them no answer
