Alright thank you I will try that..

You should google your cell phone and free call apps to see if one will work for your cell.  If it s a real debt collection agency (there are extortion scam operations out there), then you can follow the steps in what you need to know.  You can also seek a FDCPA/TCPA attorney.

This number calls me several times a day and has been for months.  I told them before that I had lost my job last year and decided to go back to school, and now I am trying to find a job cause my unemployment ran out and financial aid only goes so far. I told them that since I have had hired a credit advisor, to help me reestablish my credit, that I have tried to stay on top of any and all bills to prevent having credit problems again. And as soon as I get a job and get back on my feet that I have no problem working with them on payment arrengments. I have explained this several times to these people and others that call me here recently, but they still call me non stop, early morning, late in the evening even on Saturday and Sunday.

Are you for real about this cause my cell phone blows up daily from different numbers either debt collectors or solicitors. Its really pissing me off cause I am currently trying to find a job and I don't know if these numbers that call me are about a job or some other reason. So please if this is for real please let me know more details.

Called company and told them I am not "Craig" and Verizon is not my cell carrier. I have only had the cell number for 7 days and started receiving calls from this number before I left the parking lot of US Cellular. The person I talked to said they would remove the number from their list but I still get a daily call for "Craig"

Get calls 3 or 4 times a day from this 888-701-0632 and all the computer generated voice asks for is for my name and private information.

Please stop callin!

So, how do I get ahold of someone about these calls?? Seems like I get one at least 3-4 times a week. Not only from this number, but another one that goes back to the same company.

This number keeps calling but never get anyone on the line

been calling every day lately

Left a long message on my answering machine asking for someone whom I don't know. Claims to be a debt collector. Blocked number with Verizon FIOS.

You are correct about the debt collectors, they do not give a crap about you or your situation. I was arrested on my own doorstep for allegedly trespassing. I was foreclosed upon and kicked out of my home of 19 years that i built with my own blood, sweat and tears. the fact of the mater is that you do NOT  owe anything. Federal Reserve Notes are an obligation of the United States. FRN's are not "money", they are only a medium of exchange, the have no value of their own, they are ink on paper. Gold and silver have their own value and are money. you will note that the name on the utility bill is in ALL CAPITOL LETTERS as it is on the drivers license, and in most cases the birth certificate. This is not you! this is a fiction created by government to appear as you so they can tax YOU and make YOU get a drivers license. I could go on and on for pages about how the government ( who works for the people, you and me) is slowly and mythologically stealing our unalienable rights. See "modern Money Mechanics", 'The Two Faces of Debt", and a book by Ellen Brown (whom I have personally met) titled "Web of Debt". Sorry, back to the debt collector pests. if Credit Protection Association, L.P.13355 Noel Road Dallas, Texas 75240 is not registered  or bonded in your state then they have no business attempting to collect an ALLEGED  debt. Challenge them! Make them prove by certified documentation that you (not YOU) owe anything. Sue them for their violations of the FDCPA . Hit them in their own pocketbooks where it hurts the most. Check out www.whatliesinyourdebt.com. loads of great information there. also www.myprivateaudio.com. and www.lawlessamerica.com. Lets do it people! Let us take back our freedom from these tyrants that think they own us. I cannot speak for you but I am  free man upon the land. I AM. Have a great day and remember, the second mouse gets the cheese, and to live laugh and love allot.  @comcast.net

I know I owe money but at present I do not have a job and wish these poeople would understand that I will pay them when I can, this number they call is my parents phonr anyway , how they got thier number I do not know but I wish they would quit bugging them as it is me they want anyway. Apparently they do not care who they harrass as long long as they can get money out of somebody they do not give a -------- !!!!

I keep getting a call from this number and each time I answer, noone says anything.

Debt Collector Calling Your Cell? You May Be Entitled to $1,500 Per Call
Written by FreeAdvice Staff


Debt collector calling your cell phone? You may have a lawsuit. Get a free case evaluation from an experienced attorney.




Debt collectors who call you on your cell phone without your express written consent are violating the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA). If you are being harassed by debt collectors, you may be entitled to $1,500 per unauthorized call.

Debtor Rights Attorney Steve Recordon

Since many debtors don't know about the TCPA, we interviewed Steve Recordon, an attorney from San Diego, California whose firm represents individuals who have been sued or harassed by debt buyers, to tell us more. Here's what he said:
?Why should someone contact an attorney in these cases? There are two reasons. One is that their privacy has been invaded and the second is that they may be entitled to money damages. They didn't give anybody their cell phone number and shouldn't have someone calling them either asking for money or asking questions about their mom. It's not right and it shouldn't continue. A lawyer can stop that from happening.
There's a $500 per phone call minimum damage element under the statute. That's if it's unintentional. If it's intentional, the maximum damage element is $1,500 per phone call. In my opinion, I don't see how it could ever really be unintentional. They're either making the phone call or they're not. And if they make the phone call, they intended to make the phone call; therefore it's intentional, and, therefore, the $1,500 applies.

?Violations add up. I had a client tell me that they've received a call every day for the past three months. So, 90 calls times $1,500 per offense equals $135,000. That's the actual debtor they're calling, but you can't exclude the others such as family members or friends. Sometimes coworkers and neighbors are also getting called on their cell phones. These companies can be downright aggressive.
?Most calls are intentional. So far, the only plausible argument I've heard about a call being unintentional was from one of the defense lawyers. He told me that his client bought the debt from Capital Once and that Capital One said they had permission to call the person on their cell phone. However, it just doesn't hold water. I love creative reasoning and you get a lot of that from debt buyers' lawyers. They're just trying to avoid paying $1,500 per offense rather than $500 per offense. When you're talking about a class action with 30,000 members, it adds up.
