Caller asked for a temp agency employee who no longer works at this location. Smelled collector a mile away. I informed the caller that they do not work here, and were employed through an agency, thus did not work directly for the company. They asked to speak to Human Resources. I repeated several times that the person never worked for this company, they worked through an agency. The caller said I was giving "false information".  Calling me a liar does not elicit compliance with demands that go against policy.

i just received a all from someone @ Windham Professionals.. the call was for someone who i do not know, and it was regarding debt collection....
i do not owe anything to anyone..
and i do not pick up,nor do i return calls if its not for me,and if i don't know who's calling..
that is why i have a caller id.. and i usually google the number to see who it belongs to..
could just be someone checking if its a working number..
or someone checking if anyone is home....people have ways to get whatever nowadays.
to many scams going on these days..

Have the human resources department of your employer send a cease and desist letter if they are making collection calls to your workplace.  I'm an HR professional and I do not tolerate collection actions against our employees - especially when its old expired debt or by ruthless un-professionals with the purpose to harass and belittle individuals in the workplace.

Letter:

In accordance to the FDCPA you are hereby placed on notice to cease and desist collection actions of any kind or for any reason through methods of contact specified and intended for business related matters in connection with employer (insert employer business name).

FDCPA stipulates communication includes but is not limited to workplace telephone, postal mail, express mail, email, faxes, and texts.  Failure to comply with the cease and desist will result in legal action as well as formal complaint issued with FTC (federal trade commission) and the State Attorney General Office.

Consider this your one and only demand to cease and desist before legal action is pursued.

Windham Professionals and they will also call repeatedly from land lines and have software to alter incoming calls.  Biggest trick out there these days is using your area code or that of your family that lives out of state or out of the local area code to have you answer the phone thinking you are receiving a call from your family.

9 out of 10 times they have purchased old debts that are near or past the 7 year actionable period.  If you are a victim of this method of illegal practices - file a complaint immediately.

Try to reach a wrong person

kept getting calls  for  debt was no mine

you r an a***ole

A person by the name of Dennis called a place that I volunteer at and left me a message to call him back.  This is not a place of resident.

Wow...they called my JOB !! These lying b*****ds wanted info about me and when i called,they claimed i owe over $2000...for a student loan....which i never had. Rude,coniving.....the furthest thing from "professional"!!!! Beware these ignorant f*ckers !! Block their calls,threaten them with legal action...they WILL leave you alone !!

Wyndham Professionals called me about my student loans. I had defaulted on them. I am a single parent who is owed over 34k in back child support. When I told the person that called me, they were very understanding and willing to work with me. They set me up on a payment plan based off my income, and I will be out of default by the end of the year!!

There comes a point In life where you just have to realize you need to pay your debts to get anywhere.  

I don't like to be harassed by collection agencies either. But I learned that most of them are willing to work with you and take payments you can afford!

Called my 75 year old mother and stated they needed "extensive information" from me. She refused to tell them anything. I suggest you do the same!

Thank you for the contact information via the link. It was very helpful regardless of the rest of the implications in your message.

They are calling me CONSTANTLY!!! even left a threatening voice mail (dummies) at my job...I turned it over to our head of security...he's not happy about it and is probably going to take their a***s to task...

I hope you never fall on hard times....it's not about "manning up", for some the education wasn't worth the paper the diploma was printed on due to the economy. if it came down to paying a doggone loan or eating...hmmmm..not difficult to decide, so you and your arrogant and judgmental attitude need to take a flying leap....

shut up...LORD forbid you find yourself on hard times one day

It pains me to say it that hey are a "legit' debt company. They mostly do student loans..I do owe money and received a letter in the mail. They say checks may be made out to the US Dept of Education. They may act "shady" and call neighbors and work but the US DEPT of Education lists them as one of the companies they use to collect defaulted student loans.

uhm - you are incorrect!  I've never had a student loan in my entire life - nor do I owe them any money and they are calling me!

You Looses need to man up and take care of your obligations. If you owe the government for a defaulted student loan you need to pay voluntarily or you will be forced to pay involuntarily. that is the bottom line. You can pile on with the insults about career collectors all you want, That isnt going to stop the Dept of ED from garnishing you wages or offsetting your tax return. I hope it make you feel better.

Windham Professionals called me at my job in a call center! How did they find me? I do not list that info and they acted like a customer to get another rep to take their info down for me to call them! When I called trying to help a customer, found out they asked for my whole name which I never give customers then told me to hold while they looked for the paperwork. The only reason I did was because our calls are monitored and then find out it is about a personal matter. I didn't wait, just said to never call me there and Hung up on them. I kept the number and extension and am going to report it to the FCC. Could have gotten me fired!!!! Stupid a..holes!

The 1-877-719-4440 phone belongs to the Windham Professionals, Inc. in East Aurora, P.O. Box 400, NY 14052. This company is a debt collections agency looking to collect on defaulted student loans. Beware! Now you know. Pass it on!

Note to the YOUPEOPLE poster.

Making a good salary and bonus off the misery of those in obvious dire financial straights and gloating about it is the lowest form of scumbaggery imaginable. No doubt you would steal the pennies off a dead mans eyes.

Virtually everyone working to survive in this current and prevailing economic climate is one paycheck away from disaster, both personal and public. It would do well for you to remember that my scumbag friend.

Many would hope you will never have to suffer the humiliation of having stacks of bills with no money or income, I  on the other hand hope you do experience this dilemma first hand, for a long, long time.

Got a letter.from this company stating i owe 4,863.44 just.for student loans for only 7 months??!!!! Three words it is fraud!!!!

Windham Professionals.  Very rude and deceitful collectors.  They are fishing for your personal information.  You'd better not tell them anything about yourself--not your birthdate, SS#, nor even your name.  Just keep asking them THEIR name (they will lie and give you a false name), and their business.

TELL THEM NOTHING.

Number is for student loan debt collection.

Someone called me from 877-719-4440 looking for somebody named Eric (I don't recall the last name) and they were calling my small business number to verify if this person worked for me.

It was a very polite man, and when I told him that no one by that name worked for me and I've never heard of anyone by that name before, he very politely said "OK, thank you" and hung up. I will be blocking this number and never taking a call from it again.

This is indeed a Student Loan Collection Agency . . .

They said they were Wyndam Professionals and was asking for my x-wife that would never be associated with my business number because we have been divorced for over 20 years

You are correct only if the loan is Federally backed and not all student loans are.
