This number has called multiple times and not left a message - everyone days its a debt collector but I don't owe anyone - so who are they and why the dead air calls? What is the point of the DNC list if complaints don't matter, there's no fines, no investigations, and nobody stops calling.  The fabulous feds prove once again how incompetent they are.

That's what I'm talking about!!  "If they can't connect, they can't collect." when i see their number on my caller ID, I DO NOT answer!
Thanks John for sharing those useful tips!! :)

It's easy to beat them folks. Remember this line:

"If they can't connect, they can't collect. Don't answer or return their calls. emails, or letters even if you owe the money. You are not required to provide them any information. They are just a collection agency.

They can not have you arrested. Period. There is no debtors jail in the United States.
Tape all of their phone calls and tell them you are doing so. They hate that. They will not be able to be abusive during the conversation. If tell you you can not tape the call hang up immediately. They are taping, why can't you.
Make a record of all calls or correspondence, emails, letters, etc.
Block the numbers they call from.
Return any letters from any Collection Agency un opened. Just print new mailing labels and reverse them on the same envelope. And make sure you send it to the address where it was sent and NOT to the collection agency it was sent from. They hate that too.
Make sure you insult them during phone conversations as much as possible. Call them losers, scum, bottom feeders, etc. There is nothing they can do about it.
Go to the the reporting agency IE Trans Union, Experian, Equifax, and dispute your claim there. Good chance it will be remove because most of these low life collection agencies do not have proof or can really "validate" the debt, Even if you owe it.
Tell them to take you to court and to make sure they "provide the original instrument or original agreement" to bring to court with your signature to prove that you OWE them money. They will not have it.
Find a lawyer that specializes in collections. They will work for free on your behalf and just take a percentage of any settlement. I made 5 grand this year sitting on my a** from four FDCPA lawsuits. Easy money from these pukes. They roll over in court and except these settlements as apart of doing business.

Any questions, just let me know.

They called my home phone first and immediately after they called my cell phone!!
