They keep calling for my son. It appears that it is about a credit card settlement from years ago. He has faxed documented paperwork to them. They keep calling. I hope it is a legit call and not some way to obtain personal information from him.

Called my house asking for someone I've never heard of. Then asked how long I have had this phone # (nearly 2 years), told him that, and he didn't seem to believe that. Then asked if I was Mr. (he knew my last name - but butchered the pronunciation). I confirmed that, and he asked if I was sure I didn't know (person he asked for initially). I said I've never heard of that person (fact) and he said "okay, thanks, bye."

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.

| Kay 2009-11-05 21:10:06 Unknown |
Calls everyday several times each day right up to 9pm. Today my grandchild a & year old answered the phone. After answering a few questions hands the phone to me, the man on the other end asked for a person we do not know and when i stated that he acted as if I were lying I hung up. I searching for how to report this guy and I see he does pretty much the same with everybody. I'm reporting to evry agency i can. This company needs to be stopped.

Lady calls my cell and my mothers home phone, all of the time! She says if this IS so and so, continue to listen, if this is NOT so and so hang up.... Annoying.....

Got a call from 877-273-9765 (also: 510-473-0150) within less than 1 minute from each other. APEX Financial. Apparently a debt collector for someone who used to have my number. Good luck!
| KT 2009-07-21 22:06:18 Unknown |
Calls my cell and leaves no message, irritating, I put it on the t-mobile block list so we'll see if that will stop them.

Someone from this number called and asked to speak with D. N. (my daughter's father-in-law). I asked who it was that was calling and they answered quickly and quietly. When I asked them to repeat it for me they said, "It's not my fault you can't hear me." and could I give the message to him or not. I said I could but I needed to know who was calling first. They then hung up on me. I don't know who this company is and can't imagine why they would try to go through me to get a "statement" out of my daughter's father-in-law, who lives in a different state from us.

These people called me at work. I have no idea who they are but they've crossed a legal line now.
| Kelly D 2009-04-25 14:17:07 Unknown |
They called and left no message so after reading here I decided to call back. A male representative took my call and was moderatley poliet. Asked him who and and why I was called, and after typing in my phone number, he tells me there is no record of a call to that number. He then asked for my name but I told him that I wasn't giving that information since I don't who I'm talking to and have never gotten a call from this number. He returned to say "Well, I can't help you then. Goodbye." I'd really like to know who this is.
| EcoYankee 2009-04-24 15:39:02 Unknown |
This guy calls from this number and says "Caller-ID isn't gonna help you, pal." Wish I could meet this guy, face to face. He wouldn't like it.
| ron 2009-04-22 16:37:04 Unknown |
that is because that MF is looked at you credit file where some one has tried to pre qualify you for a loan
| E.L.A. 2009-04-10 18:21:41 Unknown |
This number keeps calling my work and refuses to leave a message or tell the receptionist where and why they are calling...and then after they call my work, they call me on my cell phone and leave a message...again not saying who they are, or where they are calling from. Im angry and frusterated because I have no idea who these people are!

make a complaint at fcc.gov maybe enough complaints, they get hit with a huge fine and ease up

I have received 10 calls from this company calling for someone else, a name not associated with anyone in my immediate or extended family although when I speak with a "live representative" they don't know why my number is coming up in their system. The name they give is of hispanic decent, I am Israeli, so not even close. If this is a mortgage company then they certainly have the wrong number, I paid my house off in full.
| MJ 2008-08-28 03:29:48 Unknown |
They keep calling me and my mother and asking for my sister (who doesn't live with either of us, and has never lived at our current addresses). They say they want a statement from her about an incident last month, but won't tell us what the incident was. He was nice the first few times he called, but the tone has changed to harassing and beligerant.
| citizen 2008-06-05 02:50:24 Unknown |
This person is calling me in a harrassing tone after I said the person he ask for was not here. On 6-4-08 he repeated calling 4 times in a 5 min period up to 8:55 pm. He calls daily, after being told the person is not here.
| ck_smiles 2008-04-03 02:41:58 Unknown |
This person is calling me and leaving a message in a harrassing tone. He says things on my voice mail like, "How is mortgage hunt going? Not very well I bet." Then he hangs up. I have NO idea who this is and why he would think we are looking for a house. We aren't and we haven't even tried to get a home loan recently.
| colorado 2007-08-06 21:34:45 Unknown |
I called this number back - it's the corporate office for Apex Financial or something like that.
| B 2007-07-30 20:08:05 Unknown |

| EVAN 2007-07-22 17:00:52 Unknown |
