kept calling me for years... until they stopped when the state of texas caught up with me regarding my school loans...  

dangit   ....  that's a costly bill by the way you all?!?!  15% of one's paycheck is a lot more when one is a professional after ten years of hard work, I'm now getting my wages garnished...  ugh!  Don't do it Everyone!  don't run from them, they will find you!  

BUt fuckk These guys who basically didn't actually buy any debt at all!  but just harrass... I wonder if they get paid at all in doing this, and how?  

Collections...  you have to be a special kind of a***ole to be a loan collector, right?

Called back and the voicemail said it was from Valentine & Kebartas (Debt Collectors).  They keep calling my cell asking for Jacqueline.  I tell them they have the wrong number but still keep getting calls.  Also local numbers 719-766-8216 and 719-766-8229 are from Valenting & Kebartas calling my cell phone

They called our house this afternoon and told my husband someone had used my name on a job reference.  He gave them my work number (unfortunately) and they called there but only let the phone ring once.  We do not owe anyone any money so I don't have any idea why they are calling me.  Caller ID came up as Valentine.

If you are lucky enough to have selective call forwarding, you can forward the number to (your area code) 555-5555.  They will get "the number you have reached is no longer in service."  That should put an end to the calls.  I know that Time Warner has that option on their phone service.  Don't know about the other phone companies.

i am receiving endless calls for a man named Larry Robinson.  I do NOT know nor have I ever known this person.  Yet I continue to get calls.  I have asked them to remove my number it will never be valid.  This is an error and has been occurring now for 2 years, from different collection agencies.  This has been occurring from this company for 3 months.
 The number used is: 978-332-5480 and 410-246-4694.
  I have told them, I do not owe the debt and do NOT know this man.
  I would like this to stop.

They can legally call your number as often as they want every day.  However, if they speak to anyone, they are banned from calling the same number again within a 24 hour period.  Harrassment comes into play only when they are talking to you.  Most collection agencies will not leave messages at work numbers and when they do leave a message on a residence line, it is always the same industry agreed upon script that clearly gives no information about who they are or who their company is and gives the listener an opportunity to opt out, be taken off the calling list or listen to the message in private.  Just answer the phone, say they have the wrong number, and the calls will stop.  Of course, nothing will prevent them then from having you served unless they have no information telling them where you are at (the DMV records are used sometimes for that info) or where you work.  If they have where you work and it is a full time job, they will garnish your pay when they get the judgement.  Such is life.

They called a left a message.  They wanted to talk to the previous owner.  Then I guess no one here should speak with them.

They called our office looking for the former owner but I won't give out his information to anyone, not even the government.  I let the call go to voicemail.  They can call all they want, we are changing the number soon and the company name.

There are a few ways (depdning on my mood that day) I deal with these people.  What they are is not a real agency... this is some clown or family that need to make cash so they register as an Inc in state and purchase a list of numbers using their "official registration as debt collector). The list can be old or current but companies will pay a commission or % of the collected funds. So they CAN act like this because they try all sorts pf tactics to collect and then get credit for doing the collecting process!  Thats why you need to pay them and even if you pay the bill of the other agency they get NASTY because they lost commission.  So depending on mood I do a few things which have all pissed them off badly lol.

(1) My children love the phone and Valentine & A***s Inc are the one number they are allowed to pick up and talk to. Especially my 3 year old!  Its actually entertaining when you have toddlers and preschoolers answer the call. They just LOVE trying to get a 3 year old to hand the phone to mommy or daddy. Its hilarious.  
(2) Ask them to hold on and leave phone next to a radio for hold music. Each time they call I say "Sure, she is Ill get her right away. Hold please".... and its teh best when they start screaming NO wait! ... one person actually called me back and when I picked up all I heard was music. LOL. I guess they didnt like holding with my music selection. You can make it even more fun with using certain types of music... if you get what i mean. DRIVE THEM NUTS. lol
(3)I I act as if I actually give a s*** what they have to tell me. Have them talk talk talk.... then when they get to the "so can we take a payment over the phone" part  I say "Sure! Hold on let me get my credit card" then hang up or tell them i need to transfer them to someon ethat can help them, then hang up. Their spin usually is a good 5 to 10 min of talking with no breath.
(4) When I hear then say "Ive been trying to reach you for 7 days now." I reply with "Great. I'll talk to you tomorrow when you go for #8" Click.
(5) I click on the answering machine button so by ring 4 it will be picked up by it. The message on it is for THEM. and basically gives them bogus contact info
(6) I tell them the person is not available at the number they are calling but I can give them a number to reach them if they want. I give them a contact number that has a toll that exceeds $10 to make.  Aka: a number to another country.
(6) Just don't answer or click to answer then click to hang up immediately after.
(7) Act as if  I am ecstatic to hear from the person, tell the bi*** who calls to EFF OFF but in a friendly happy way and hang up.
(8) Answer my hone with "Thank you for calling Valentine & Kebartas Inc.  Someone will be with you shortly.".... then... just.... wait.... and listen. It's great.
(9) Ask then if they want to be your friend. Tell them no one ever calls you and you look forward to their call daily. Tell them that if you pay your bill then they wont call anymore andyou just cant end this because in reality  what will you have to look forward to every day !? Tell them your therapist said that this new friendship is good for you and you need their daily calls to avoid having to go on meds again.

They usually don't call back with most of the above (and I swear these things work!) but the only times they do call back is when they are placed on the fake hold.

Here are some of the numbers they use:
978.332.5480 <--- This one is used the most.
978.975.0799
800.731.7766
800.462.4884
702.997.6995/6 <-- heavy with this number at times too

Meanwhile they have yet to be able to tel; me what account they are calling about.  They bought a list, like any other collection agency that is run out of some lame family's house that don't want real jobs, and try to make a commission off of the dollars they are able to retrieve. That's why they are so persistent and don't have to adhere to the DNC bull crap... what they CAN be held accountable is the harassment laws in the states they reside like MA or North eastern region.   Call your local tele provider / company and there is a *## code  (like the *67 code) and it will do an auto track. After a number *harasses* you for 4 times it automatically starts an investigation which goes through normal channels. the company will call you to get your side of story, esp for those of you saying the person is not you or you are neighbors. That is def harassment and they will be fined as a company vs an individual. Because they have an FEIN and registered in their state as an agency to do what they do. That is a way to protect themselves. At the end of day you will not hear from them for a bit until they let the grace period (aka: honeymoon ) pass where they are being watched.

At the end of the day they are a nobody firm. No one important.  And lets face it, by the time these guys call you, your credit report is already noting the amount due and so any threat they give you, is bogus. They cannot do any more damage that is already done. So let them call. Enjoy the ride.  Dont let them annoy you - THESE are the morons that you can test all the crazy things on. Its fun!  ...and it makes them feel so special!  ;)

I also got calls from this number and could not understand a word they said. Then they hung up on me when I asked who they were. Then they called back and I spoke so they could not understand me and they got really mad, called me immature, and hung up on me. Then they called me back as a private call. Totally ridiculous!!!!

This man called me and asked for my name and I asked who's calling - he told me and asked if I were blah blah blah - I asked what are you calling about and his response was are you blah blah blah the thief? I wasn't sure if I heard him right so he repeated it. I again asked what he was calling about & then he hung up.  This is what I am sure of - the law has specific guidelines and calling someone a thief would be considered harassment. I have read some of the other posts and can tell he is definitely breaking the law. If he calls again & says what he is calling about I will call that company & tell them they have contracted with a company who regularly breaks the law and that I will report both of them.  I also have the right to sue. And if he harasses me I will call the police under the stalking law.  He probably doesn't get any sex and that is why he is so nasty.

My Mother is presently on chemotherapy and radiation and is extremely sick. However, this number continues to call her home looking for an individual who has never lived there or even associates herself with this person. We kindly asked them to please stop calling my Mother about this person. It has come to the point it is harrassment.

Valentine & Kebartis Inc.  Main phone is 800-731-7766

Bill collectors.  But usualy not for the original credit issuer, but for vultures who scoop up piles of consumer debts and try to wring as many pennies as they can.  

I hope someone catches them in some definite violations and lets the FTC know about it.

These people have called at all hours of the day/night, every day of the week, and even on Christmas day!  Some guy named "Andy" who is a real jerk and insists that whoever he is looking for must live here and he is allowed to call whenever he wants, including 4AM!!  I'm trying to find out who to report him to.
