I have a new phone and have yet to set up voice mail, but there's no reason for toll-free numbers to be calling me.

Medical debt collection company that will not give you any info regarding the debt they are trying to collect until YOU give them sensitive identification info first. Well, no dice. Rude, unrelenting, and they call from myriad phone numbers.

They do the same to me they refuse to say who they are, but want all of my personal info! I think it's a scam!

These people at RR have made our life living H over small medical bills. They set up fake PO boxes and phone numbers for bills they take over and claim to be the company for the original debt. They went after my spouse for a small bill I owed and I had made regular agreed payments on to UT hospital. We both had heart surgery there and UT collected about 200,000 off us and insurance. I owed 320 and was paying that down every month as agree. RR got it and they refused to take the agree payments and proof it was my bill and my receipts, and he never signed for it. I was too ill from heart problems and light strokes to work, so they sued him and not me, then told him if he paid the agreed payments, they would drop the suit and he did not have to take off work and go to court. He made one payment and RR went to court anyway and lied to the judge and said he refused to come to court and got judgement, THEN NEVER TOLD US. We found out when his workplace let us know we had a judgement on our credit files. The clerk told us later the RR lawyer does that all the time. My husband lost his position at work and his salary was taken away and he was placed on hourly wages and 30% less income over them going to his job and calling him there and suing him. Then they went after us on paid accounts and old accounts from years back that were not ours or expired. Every year they do something. They are carrying all the old Tennova debts now, and pretending to be the Tennova Financial department. Up front they only send out the current debt. If you send them a payment, they dump any expired time-barred debts with it, then take the payment off old debts and not the new. Call the attorney general and the dept of consumer affairs if they come after you. Or hire an attorney and sue them. They break the law all the time and do not care.

One good comment thousands bad. Must be an employee

I received a call from RRC this morning. I did owe a samll bill. They were very nice and polite. They did their job properly and the rep. Kim was a very nice person.

Revenue Recovery Collections

Stop

I don't know who this is

Rude please do not call me from 888-582-3359

That doesn't work, I have tried it. Even when you are telling the truth they don't believe you, my husband has been getting calls for TWO YEARS about a Comcast bill owed by Sonja, we live in BFE and can't get cable out here! I listed the number under the name Don't Answer :)

I received a call today from this number, the guy asked for someone and I asked who is this, he rudely said is she there or not, I said no, he said he will call back later. I am adding it to my Don't Answer list :)

I received a call from a rude man name Steve that works there! He was yelling at me telling me it was my responsibility to pay a workers comp bill that happened in July1,2012. He was saying mean nasty commits and yelling hard at me! I do not appreciate his tone and commits! Do not call me any more!

These guys are still at it. Call during work hours, quickly get past what their company's name was and cannot give any info until you show all of yours. It's 2013 and with all the scams and identity theft going on.. sorry, bro, go scam somewhere else.

I paid my medical bills in full from a procedure I had almost 3 years ago but continue to get calls on my landline and cell phone every day from these people. The hospital even called them on my behalf to tell them to leave me alone, that I've been paid up for years... and the collection agency hung up on the hospital representive. They scream at me that I'm going to go to jail if I don't pay up and that I'm a deadbeat. I told one man that his records were wrong and he called me a liar and an idiot. I've reported them to the police for harassment, but the cops can't really do anything.

...I get these calls constantly and I've found a way to atleast deny them an answer. Here's what I suggest; with a cell phone you can assign a name to the "unknown caller/ unrecognizable caller" such as "col 1" as the name for collections when you're sure these are collectors trying to reach you....they will use a multiple of call numbers so as you determine that they are collectors assign them as "col 2" and so on. Now when you get repeat calls from these numbers in the future you'll know not to answer them....just a suggestion!

My mother, who is ill and I take care of all her stuff, has received several calls from this number. They refuse to tell me what they want or even who they are. My mother has both Medicare and Medicade and that takes care of all her bills. So why are they trying to contact her about a bill which should have been paid off already?
On another matter. I made the mistake of trying to get my medicine through the mail (don't ever do that). The medicine was dropped off by UPS at another place and never reached me. I told them that when they finally tracked it down to just send it back to the company because I was going back to the pharmacy. I am still, 6 years later receiving a monthly bill from the through the mail pharmacy for 6.00 for the medicine, which I never received. They have spent over 33.60 trying to collect 6.00 which I do not owe. Do they not realize that they are going deeper into a hole?

The number was 888-582-3359. They left a voice mail asking me to call back and said they were a debt collecting agency. How they got my number, I have no idea. I almost laughed because I am not even old enough to have my own bank account. This is obviously a phishing scam. I did not return the call and don't plan to. If they keep calling I'll block the number. You can block up to 5 numbers on the Verizon website for free, and it will last for 90 days. I've done it before and it works.

Uhhh....
Yes. The DO NOT CALL list DOES apply to collection agencies. Google up your State's Attorney General's office or the BBB and read up on what consumers can do if you've put your number on the DO NOT CALL list and the people call back anyway.
You, as a consumer, have more rights than you think you do. I just went down this road with an outfit out of VA Beach and now the State Attorney General's office is harrassing the collection company as much as the collection agency harrassed me.
Don't be afraid to speak up!!!

You have to let them know they have the wrong number then they won't call back

Good point.  I have been in collections for the past 4 years, and I get more flies with honey than my collegues do with vinegar...LOL

Cutting Edge... LOL. What a joke.  I work in a medical office, and we are always trying to get these people to stop collection procedures on our clients who are paid in full.  They do not listen!!!

In a very scary,low voice on my voice mail..."Call Steve "that's all he said. Is this legal? Sounds like harassment to me!

Ditto to every message above.

RUDE RUDE RUDE  - A call from someone named "Allan"... wanted my information as if I'm stupid enough to just give it to anyone.  He finally hung up on me.  I googled the number and found this page.  Called Revenue Recovery back on the toll-free number.  The receptionist called me "honey", "sugar" and "sweetie" - not very professional either.  Finally spoke to supervisor, Mike Adams, who was civil.  I informed him that I was a Chapter 7 and they've been told that before.  I also informed him that if they contacted me again, I was reporting them as it's illegal to contact someone in Bankruptcy once they've informed the company that is trying to collect the debt.

This company needs some lessons in professionalism, politeness and manners - and apparently, the law.

I didn't recognize the number, didn't answer.  The message they left was a long loud beeping noise that hurt your ears.  Weird.

Real classy Steve.  Go back to work calling people collecting debts from them,

I have a new phone and I have not given anyone my number..just switch from at&t to straight talk and just received a call from this number. I did not answer it since I had no ideal who it was but it must have been for whoever this number belong to before me..I was really shocked that I was able to find so much on the number on the internet but thought I would see if anything came up. They did not leave a message other then a grunt on voice mail.

As far as a collection agency calling you. If a message is left in person or an a machine or voice mail or if they  actually speak to an actual person at the phone number they have on the account they HAVE to wait 3 days before they can call you again. FDCPA regulations.
FDCPA = Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.
The FDCPA is a set of laws and guidelines that any and all debt collectors have to go by. The main reason and the actual wording that the Federal Trade Commission uses for these laws are cited

§ 802. Congressional findings and declaration of purpose

(a) There is abundant evidence of the use of abusive, deceptive, and unfair debt collection practices by many debt collectors. Abusive debt collection practices contribute to
the number of personal bankruptcies, to marital instability,
to the loss of jobs, and to invasions of individual privacy.

(b) Existing laws and procedures for redressing these injuries
are inadequate to protect consumers.

(c) Means other than misrepresentation or other abusive debt
collection practices are available for the effective collection of debts.

(d) Abusive debt collection practices are carried on to a substantial extent in interstate commerce and through means and instrumentalities of such commerce. Even where
abusive debt collection practices are purely intrastate in
character, they nevertheless directly affect interstate commerce.

(e) It is the purpose of this title to eliminate abusive debt collection practices by debt collectors, to insure that those debt collectors who refrain from using abusive debt collection practices are not competitively disadvantaged, and to promote consistent State action to protect consumers against debt collection abuses.

Here is the location of the full text. Every state and Every collector has to follow these laws.

Like this person says in this post that I am replying to. They don't have to be sympathetic but empathy is something that will get you a better return rate on your collection practices. I have been in collections for 30 years. I know how to get my numbers up and keep them up.

Recieved a call on my wife's cell phone from this BOTTOM FEEDER....RRC.....not sure how they got that number.....unless they are just ROBO CALLING.......

We do not answer calls from any number that we do not recognize.........we seach the number online and then put it in the cell phones as "DO NOT ANSWER"..........

THEY CAN KEEP CALLING UNTIL HELL FREEZES OVER.......and we will not answer them......NO MESSAGE LEFT........

Plus we keep a list of all calls from people or places that we do not know........and the date they called.....
