Matty,

What you are saying is just f****n retarted!!! if you never answer the phone for them and they dont have a recording to prove that they spoke to you, they can do absolutely nothing to you! it's just like when someone is trying to sue you.  If they cannot, or for any reason dont SERVE you with legal papers they cannot proceed with a lawsuit.  IF they cannot get a hold of you and inform you about the situation, then they cannot expect you to pay something that you dont know about!  Therefore,  If you see this number come up on your phone, just ignore the f****n call or answer the hpone sounding like someone your not, I prefer to use my 7-11 worker voice on anyone who calls me from some goofy a** number!  Basically when it comes down to it, dont get yourself into a situation where a collections agency needs to call you and you wont have to deal with them, but if for some reason the pricks do call you F*** THEM! Tell them to EAT A DICK!

I have been recieving phone calls from this number for about two weeks now and unfortunantly I have not been able to pick up when they call and I have been unable to call the number back.  A man has a left a message on my machine once he said his name was Lindsy I think, the message was a little messed up.  I would very much like to talk to someone and get this all straightened out.

Phone rings, music plays loud, then call disconnects.  When I call the number back, it doesn't connect at all.  
I have been receiving calls for three years for an employee that used to have my phone number and is no longer here.  I explain this to them every time and even answer the phone using my name, but they continue to call.  Could this number be connected to them?

Yea thats real smart ingore the calls...if there calling you...its for a reason..and 99% of the time its because you owe money. The other 1% is they are looking for someone who doesnt live there....if you dont answer and clear things  up there will be a mark on your credit report...ignoring the calls will do nothing.

i just got a call from them. They can blow me!

Just got a call from this number. Tried calling back it rings, but no answer

every day I do reciev calls two times and 3.30 and 8.00pm avery day, but no one answer me back

I get call from this number once ot twice a week, they call and when i pick up no one answers and when i call back i get nothing.

this number has called me at least three times a day for nearly a month. i wont answer because i dont know the number, but nothing happens if i call back. no voicemails, either. it's b.s.

I have gotten multiple calls from them per day for the past couple of weeks, which is weird because I don't have any accounts in collections.  I don't answer these calls and they never leave a message, so screw them.

They say I owe money to ComEd.  I have been paying my bill.  They wanted to collect $279.  Then the "supervisor" got on the line and offered to clear my debit for $200.  Then he started bashing me.  He started calling me irresponsible, this is why you are in collections cause you don't pay your bills, sir your statements are contradicting and you know this, and this will reflect your credit.  Funny thing I owe ComEd $129.  I'm paying the rest at the end of this month according to my pay period.  I just keep telling them I owe ComEd money not you.  They would rebuttal with sir we represent ComEd.  They were rude.  I keep telling them I'm not doing anything over the phone.  I owe ComEd not YOU.  What a waste 20 minutes of my life.

how do you know this

Bud Says...

   Here is another gem in the pile of debt collection trash. They collect on student loans and other accounts. The collectors are not the smartest in the business, nor can they be trusted to tell the truth. I would rate this in the sleaze category and use the cease communication letter on them.
   NEVER give them any information on your bank/credit accounts, or post-dated checks. YOU WILL REGRET IT!!

this is not a legit company just 2 w***es trying to make a fast buck

constantly calls.  IT will ring and then then second i pick up, there is  no one on the line.  Once, i actually did talk to someone and they asked for my old roommate who I lived with in college. The calls stopped for a week but then continued again recently.  SO ANNOYING.  I get a beeping sound when i call back.  It's faster than a busy signal.  These people are a pain in the f****ng a**.

I finally got sick of seeing this number so I called it back and got some woman that talked like she had a mouth full of marbles. I think she said the name of the company was Denmar or something like that. I asked what it was that her company did and she said please hold. Well, since this is a new phone number for me I guess they were trying to reach another person that used to have this number. I only use my cell phone so I really dont need my home phone, it has been sitting on my desk for over an hour with the hold music playing in the background. I'm glad it wasn't somebody I needed to talk to, not a very customer friendly company I guess you could say.
I can see myself calling my provider to get a new number, in the meantime I hope i can call the crap out of this number and waste their time.

My grandmother has been getting calls every day from this number, stating they are a collection agency looking for someone with the same last name (no relation). Each time I try to call back, I also get the one short ring, a busy tone and then the message that "all circuits are busy" and it disconnects.

I have been getting calls for someone who used to have the phone number we have. I have tried calling back many times with no answer. It rings once, and then disconects.

Got a message saying it was a collection agency.  Called the number back and got a short ring, long pause and then disconnected.

Calls everyday for someone who don't live at my house. I try to call number back and get one short ring and busy and it hung up.
