Weird thing happened the other day. Received a phone call from this number, and I figured it was T-Mobile (I had just sent in an order for a new phone) and I just never picked up. Then, about a minute after, I received a text message (on Valentine's Day, mind you) that read something along the lines of--

"Sup cutie it's Marvin aka Rohan .. I just called but you must be at work or somethin'.. give me a call back I need to ask you somethin'"

I replied back "Umm sorry.. you must have the wrong number"

At the time I just laughed it off (as did my boyfriend) thinking some girl gave some poor guy the wrong number.

Fast forward 2 days later, call to activate my new phone at T-Mobile and they say I have a pending .20 charge for a text message that must be something I "subscribed" to, a solicitor, or an international call .. I explained my story and the rep on the other line really had no answers for me.

Long story short, it MUST be some number out of the US.. Just thought it was weird that someone was soliciting via random text message.

We recently recievd a call from our local Family Video about an outstanding late fee-which we have not been to that store in at least a year-and now we received this call with no answer on the other end either. We have no other outstanding debt either so it has to be them, for us.

I just got a call from 877-876-5986 and after I said hello 3 times a female voice said goodbye.  Someone has too much time on their hands.  Don't these inconsiderate people know how disruptive a nonsense call can be to a household where someone is ill? Get a life!!!

Debt Collectors – Collection Agencies –   do NOT fall under Do NOT Call registry, as they are not telemarketers.  However, they do constantly violate other Federal Laws, because us American's don't know the laws to protect us.  They are counting on that.  

- Federal Law says you don't have an obligation to Collection Agencies or Debt Collectors; you can send them a written letter and they cannot contact you after that.   This includes Attorney's in state's other than your state of residence.  The only Attorney's that can sue you, have to be licensed in your resident state.

A word of caution:  Some Law Firms do have Firms in other states, and Lawyers licensed in other states, so you have to do a little research before sending a Cease & Desist (Do Not Call & Go Away letter) to make sure they aren't in your resident state or you're likely to get sued by these #%#&*@!#%&@$^*.  

Once a debt collector makes contact with you, they also have to contact you within 5 days after the first phone call, letter etc., and give you validation/proof or judgment of the debt.  You are not required to ask for it.   They never do this!!!!

This law is known as the Fair Debt Collector Practices Act.  You can get it at FTC.gov; as well as other Consumer Protection Laws.

Most collection agencies, purchase your delinquent debt for pennies on the dollar.  Guess what? It is no longer your debt!!!  You don't have any agreement/contract with the debt collector or collection agency.  Your only agreement/contract was with the original creditor.

Do NOT agree to any payment arrangements, or you'll be creating an agreement/contract, where upon initial contact by the Debt Collector, one didn't exist.  The collection agencies are counting on you not knowing this little bit of information.  

The best advice I can give you is, do NOT talk to these idiots - they will leave you in a frustrated heap on the floor.  They lie, and will tell you whatever they need, in order to get you to commit to paying them.

The lies are illegal, but they honestly don't care, they're probably on commission for how much they collect from you and others like you.  

If you do answer the phone, do NOT give out your employer, social security #, DL #, Credit Card and/or Bank information, or any personal information.  Tell them to send you a written statement & you'll respond. Then hang up.  When you get that statement, google, Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and you'll probably find a letter you can send them   Or:  send the letter I’ve enclosed that I use.  Sign and mail that letter Certified Mail, so you have a signature and confirmation of delivery!!!

Dear  :


I am in receipt of your demand for payment. However, this Notice is to confirm that I do not wish to be contacted again by you, and that you are hereby put on Notice to Cease Communication pursuant to 15 USC Section 1692c(c). Failure to comply with said Notice, shall result in a complaint filed and submitted to the Federal Trade Commission, and possible legal remedies in an appropriate United States District Court.

Your representatives have also been trying to contact me,  however, I only do business of this nature via mail. Therefore, I am requesting again, that you cease and desist from calling me or contacting us in any way.

Please remove the phone numbers XXX XXX-XXXX. The calls constitute harassment at this point, which is causing a major disruption in both my business and personal life as well as being an invasion of my privacy, which I will not tolerate.

If you continue to contact me, I may file a complaint with the Attorney General. The Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991, which branched from United States Code Title 47 sect 227, implemented a do-not-call list from solicitors, which mandates a solicitor to abate phone calls to customers who have requested in writing to cease all phone communication.

In addition, PLEASE TAKE NOTICE THAT, I am not waiving my right, to dispute the alleged debt asserted herein, but at this time I am under no obligation to respond.  


Sincerely,

Your Name

City, state Zip

In the Law of Novation: if a debt is purchased by another, for that to be a legal owed obligation, a new contract / agreement has to be written and signed by all parties.  Google Law of Novation and read up!!!

No I am not an attorney, just a well knowledged, educated consumer.  I have spent the past 2 years studying various Federal Consumer Protection Laws.  

I wasn't just satisfied knowing I could send a letter to a Collection Agency/Debt Collector and they had to go away.  I read that in the Fair Debt Collector practices Act law;  I needed to know why, what law tells me the reason why I can.

Everything I have typed, I have learned basically on my own through reading, studying, printing out and binding the laws and underlining/highlighting them.  Not to mention the knowledge I have gained on my own fighting two lawsuits without an Attorney.

I was sued by a Collection Agency, and waiting for a Court date. The Collection Agency Attorney, sent us a letter willing to dismiss with prejudice our lawsuit, if I dismiss our Cross/Counter Claim for Fair Debt Collector Practices Act violations.  Oh, I forgot to mention, we do not have an Attorney representing us; and I have not had any legal experience, in the past whatsoever.

I have read / printed & bound, my State's Rules of Civil Procedure and Rules of Civil Procedure - Evidence.  I catch Attorneys on violations of State Rules of Civil Procedure all the time.  And our Judge's let them get away with it.

And for those of you who say pay up and quit being a deadbeat; it appears that you have never had your life turned upside down, because a good job, not high paying by any means, but a supposed secure job, got your hours cut by 3/4.  

And then a couple years later, as you are just recovering, you lose that job.  And when you are in your 50's, a new job is not so easy to come by.  And when that happens, then what?  

Or what about a major illness, guess you've never had that either - too bad.  Maybe if you did, you'd understand why and how people end up getting in financial straights. Not because they chose to, or decided they were going to find loopholes to get out of paying obligations etc.

What if the money isn't there to pay these debts to begin with?  We've been barely able to pay a mortgage, let alone credit cards etc. It's easy to tell someone else what to do.  I hope someday, something throws your secure little world off its axis, and you find yourself in the very situation as some of us here. Maybe then you'd learn it isn't such a cut/dry situation.

Oh, we've struggled.  And the job last hasn't exactly been replaced.  We're still behind in our Mortgage and trying to catch up, as with our other legal obligations.  I can't work because of various health conditions, or I would, including a part time job at least.  My husband started his own company with the tools of the trade, and now contracts for copier, computer, IT technical jobs as he has a computer science degree, and has years of experience in the others, especially the wide format copier / printers / computers.

People, please read the Fair Debt Collector Practices Act; if a Debt Collector violates any one harrassment or other law in there; Federal Laws says you can sue them for $1,000.00 per violation.  Do it, and then THEY can pay off YOUR obligations!!!  

Please email me at com.gmail@mommypettlc (tlcpetmommy) for help with individual questions.  Again I am not an Attorney - but have learned these by my own experiences.  There are Attorneys you could talk to, and I would, if any violations of the laws have occured in your circumstances.  I am posting this strictly to help others maybe have a piece of mind, if they are up all night worrying about financial problems, and sick to their stomach in worry as I have been, and still are in some ways. I am again just a well informed, knowledgable consumer, who has spent hours studying the laws, because I had no where else to turn for help.  If anything I have written, causes you questions, please seek the advice of an Attorney.

Certain situations such as Mortgages and Car Payment loans usually do not apply here; so you may need to seek the advice of a Lawyer for your individual situation.

We keep getting calls from several different numbers. Most of them say the same thing on the caller ID TOLL FREE CALL, one said newspaper sales, If I don't know the number I will not answer it.  My wife answered it no one said any thing then finally said goodbye. I think it is a telemarketer and they get paid for each call they make even if they don't make a sale.
 I think everyone should ignore the numbers you don't know and call them back if they leave a message on your phone, or machine.
 get registered on the national no call list https://www.donotcall.gov/default.aspx
 Then start turning them in as I am going to do.

Started getting calls from this number a week ago. Now I get 2-3 calls per day, usually when I can't pick up. When I do answer, no one is on the other side.

How can we get this shut down?

This phone number works.  I just called it.  The person who answered says the company is Buzz Marketing.  I told her to remove my number immediately since I am on the Do Not Call list.  I asked 3 times for her name and she simply hung up on me.  Called my phone company and they told me to do Call Screening (punch in *60 for my carrier) and it will block them from calling again.

This may be a dumb question,  but if a company can block a call from going through why can't an individual? I've called numbers whose automatic system says "the party you are calling is not accepting calls at this time (or from this number).

I have been getting calls from this number to. i finally decided to answer it. I spoke with a very nice lady that said she was selling branson vacation packages. i told her that we already had a vacay planned and did not want to buy anything. She gave me the following number to call back if i changed my mind. 877-230-5015. thought i would give everyone this number since you can get through on the number they call on. maybe if you call you can get them to remove you from thier list or something. i havent tried the number she gave me so i dont know if it works or not.

I got a few calls from 877-876-5986. I finally answered one day and talked to a lady for about 2 minutes as she invited me and my family to Branson. It was so bizarre cause she didnt ask for my name or anything. I finally just hung up. Dont know how they got my number but definitely a scam!
