I keep getting calls at home and on my cell phone. I have not requested any services. How can I stop receiving these calls.

This number calls and wants me to verify who I am. I don't know who this is and I am on the do not call registry.

I've gotten calls yesterday and today on my cell from this number, it's a computer voice interface which does not identify the calling entity, just asks if I'm "Michael Lloyd Masser", with supposed "press-a-number-for-..." options.  Yesterday I just hung up, today I tried option 4 to talk to "an agent".  The number simply disconnected, no agent, nothing.

I know no one by that name, and I can guarantee that whomever it is, they could not have had this number anytime in the last 10-12 years or so, since I've had this number for at least that long.

They are JP Recovery Systems.  They buy old (very old) debt's from hospital collection agency's.  These people harassed me too, only to discover the debt they were calling about was like 10 years old from when I was 19 and had kidney surgery!!  They buy these debts very cheap and then have their agents call you, I'm sorry hound you for the old debt.  The thing is, they cannot take further action other than calling because this debt has already been "written off" by the original creditor.  Do not send these people a dime.  

Scam.

They seem to know about my partner and there is no way to gain that information. They will not give information to me about who they are so i agree with the others here, If you cann not state who you are when calling, I have no time or further information to give to them.

answered the phone as "JP Recovery"

This just happened to me 3 calls within 10 min :(

Once a bill reaches a certain point your state has this thing to where it shouldn't go on your credit report and they can't make you pay it. They might say they can but they can't. I understand what you mean and it seems you have good morals but that's the way it is. I think in the state of mi it's 7 or 6 years but I could be wrong.

They keep calling not leaving a message when you call back they recording come all lines are busy with other customers please hold.

Don't ever talk to any of these people - they are a call center employee at a collector agency, and they don't care what your story is. They get paid to make a certain number of calls per day, and they get more if you actually pay them, but they are not interested in working out a solution. Their intent is to intimidate you into paying them and they will say anything to put pressure on you.

Sounds like you might want to consult an attorney about bankruptcy - often merely announcing your intent to file by way of a letter from an attorney on his or her letter-head is enough to get them to leave you alone. If you think they are violating the fair credit collections act, the attorney can help you file a complaint and considering your circumstances you can probably get this done at little or no expense. You should not be putting up with the stress of dealing with a collection agency that is chiefly concerned with getting money from you and one that will use unlawful tactics to press you into paying. DO NOT ENTER INTO ANY SETTLEMENT WITH THAT AGENCY until you consult a lawyer.

You also might want to consider filing with the local Department of Human Services - they can help you without costing a dime.

Anyone that does not identify themselves or what they are calling about gets ignored. If they cannot do me the courtesy of identifying themselves and stating the purpose of the call I will not take their calls. If they keep calling I will just get another phone number. We do not have to play their game.

I don't have any debts outstanding, so they will not be getting a call back.

medical bills can not be sent to collecter they are sold you owe these people nothinbg

Exactly!! This keeps happening to me too!! My girlfriend even tried doing something but it wouldn't work. I honestly don't understand why it is me... I never gave any website my phone number but this has been happening...ugh.

I got 2 calls from them today but no VM so I don't know what is going on or who or what I may or may not owe.

Yes, It is JP Recovery.  They are relentless.  They call my house phone, my cell phone several times a day, from all sorts of numbers.  I just program each number in my phone and shoot it over to voice mail.  Check this out.  I disputed a charge for a pregnancy test that showed up on a bill from the Cleveland Clinic prior to my surgery.  Why you ask... well let's see...why the heck would I pay for it, when I am 54 years old, and there isn't a snowballs chance in hell that I could be pregnant.  Hmmmm, can you say padding a bill.  If my 95 year old grandmother has surgery will they give her a pregnancy test too!  These people are whacked if they think they are getting a dime out of me.  JP Recovery.....cease and desist!!!!!

Hey Indebt 2012,,  FYI, I get a call from this number over the same bill all the time.  I used to talk to them, but now I just make a record of the call in a little notebook

Back when I was willing to talk to them, they wanted to collect a bill from about 8 years ago.  I spoke to them kindly, asked them to either fax or mail me something, that no way would I just pay a bill without something to look at to verify that I owed it.  They wouldn't do it. they said I had to pay now.. RIGHT NOW.

Finally, I got a little info out of them and it was enough for me to call The Cleveland Clinic and ask about the bill.  They said, I paid it.  Their own records show I paid it.  So they faxed me the paid invoice receipt.  I was able to track down the check I wrote for it.. amounts and dates all matched up.

So the next time this company called me, I asked them for their fax number so I could show them that I had proof the bill was paid.

They would not give me a fax number,, they only said I had to pay it now or they would send the police after me..

So I verified they had my correct address and told them to go ahead, send the cops down.  I know them all in Aurora as well as the Mayor and the Law Director.   I knew this would be fun if they ever did it

So wise a**, you tell me what to do...

Oh, sorry JP Recovery! Didn't know that you had the time to go to all of these "who called" BBS and harass people. Don't you have better things to do like foreclose on a widow's house loan?

I am in total agreement with you.

I got a call from the JP Recovery Services today and told them i am having a hard time finding work, then they inquired how i was able to stay where i am With my  Husband. My husband works, At the moment I am a stay at home mom of two kids. She then inquired if i was unemployment, none of her business But NO i am Not on unemployment. She told me if i do not pay it Legal Action will be taken. I have recieved a bill from them Less than a week ago. It is pretaining to a medical bill for having my tonisls taken out to end the cronic swelling of them. I have been trying to save up to pay a little here and there, but housing expenses and bills such as heat and electricy , and the food bill come first. I will not have my kids starve cause they wont accept a reasonable bill payment plan I can afford. I do not have an extra 100 a month when my rent is 500, electricty, heat, gas, food all come together to about 600 and that leaves us with about 45 per week to get tolietries, laundry and dish soap, trash bags and gas for the car which is 4 dollars a gallon. I am turning them in to BBB because they can NOT threaten legal action against me!

Got two calls from them this morning.  Phone rings once, they don't leave a message.  Calls happened 10 mins apart.

I added them to my cell address book (unsynced) and then set it to automatically send them to voicemail.

They might be legit but the claims they're calling for are beyond the statute of limitations SO YOU MAKE THE CALL, I say they don't have a prayer

Legit? JP Recovery buys debts and doesn't clear them even when you demonstrate you paid the original debt owner.  A "legitimate" debt collector is the original holder of the debt, not you scamming clowns.

stop calling

JPRecovery is a legit bill collector. What makes you people think that just because these bills are 'from a long time ago' that you do not have to pay them? Do you say the same about your home mortgage, 'Oh, we took that loan out 20 years ago so we're not paying on it anymore'? Probably not. It's the same concept. I owe them money and they are always willing to work with you on a payment plan to take care of it.

They call me and then put me on hold!

True debt collectors may only call 30days AFTER they have mailed you an alleged bill and advised you that you may dispute. The folks behind this number are in violation of federal law if you can find them! Received call from 888-461-0115 "JP Rcovery," but can't be legit-have no debt etc. Legit institutions have addresses and do not hide behind fly by night temporary numbers. Scamola.

JP Recovery services. A debt collector.

leave half a message w/ reference number! They never mention where they call, name or last name! it's anoying!!

They can't do anything to you, so don't pay. String them along. They are the ones who got you into this mess because they knew you couldn't afford it. Fuke em!
