They have my name, but pronounce it like a shitty computer program would. I called back, they refused to tell me anything unless I gave them identifying information (initially last four of SSN, then just birth date)

Collection Agencies need to tell you they are a collections agency. They would not

Alliance  collection agency

it has to be some kind of collection agency

Alliance Collections

Kept getting computerized calls asking for someone - name was unintelligible - then was given a list of 4 options - one of which was to report the call as being in error - ie: wrong number. Selected that option and was "informed" that i would need to call 877-509-1956 in order to get the calls to stop.
Called the number, asked who they were - they would not tell me - not even a hint.
Asked for my number to be removed - they asked for the number to verify, then asked if I was such & such person that they were looking for - again, I asked who they were - they would not give me ANY kind of info about themselves, so I told them NO, no one here by that name - remove this number from your list.

Would REALLY like to know who these people are.
