Just a FYI, it's againt the law for debt collectors to call that much, be rude, or pose as an Attorney. I know this because 2 years ago I was getting phone calls all day from the same collection agency and I was told of a web sit that you could go to, who were Attoney's, stateing you could sue these company's. I thought it was a scam at first. I found the site and filled in the required information. They did not ask for money or other personal information, just the basic's. I would say within a couple of days I received a call from one of the online Attorney's. Talked to them for a while, they sent me papers to fill out. The collection agency made a deal with them and the Attorney called me with the information and asked if I wanted to take the offer...... I took the offer at no cost to me. I received a few hundred dollars, the negitive debt on my credit wipped offf my record, no longer owed the debt, and the collection agency had to pay my Attorney. I would not of believed it, but I did when I recieved the money and the check cleared.P.S.... take note of the different numbers they use and how many times they call in a day. Right down the numbers (sometimes the same collection agency will use different numbers) and answer one of the calls and ask them for their name and tell them not to call you anymore. This will help you if you decide to sue them. If they will not tell you their name and continue to call you, you will have a stronger case. What I did was very easy and hardly any affert on my part. Good luck to you:)

The number 215-554-6481 is from Tate & Kirlin, a so called Attoney. They also use the number 215-544-6482, which is the number they called me from. Do you know it's against the law for a debt collection agency to pose as a Attorney and you can file a complaint and receive money for that.

This is a very rude collection agency, calls last night at 12:25pm. I called another number to see what the company is,goes in circles to let you know whow they are. Called back a forwarding number to ask why you are calling.  Claims it should be put on a do not call list, and the problems should stop within 24 hours. Well got another call at 8:25am this incident should not even been calling any "Do Not Call" list. And now they are calling my cell phone. What's next?

This phone # is a debt collection agency.  They are currently representing National Auto Finance ,,,, but I'm sure they also collect for many other businesses.

I get calls from this number at least 3-4x a day as early as 7 am even on weekends. I have no idea who it is but they need to stop calling. It is very irritating,

Many phone calls to me and won't say anything when I answer the phone.  I've been completely out of debt for the last 24 years.  I don't have a clue why they would be calling me.  The least they could do when I answer is say something instead of just haning up on me.  I consider this harassment and would like to report them to the authorities.

b*****ds are getting us too.

Thanks for the info!!! There doing the same exact things to us.

Called, left no message. We also received a call from them from 2155546482 about a week ago according to the caller id. Here is says they are a collections company but we don't owe for anything. I saw elsewhere the number was being spoofed for scammers and we get calls similar to what those mention all the time so who knows what's up with these goofballs.

Why doesn't the Philadelphia Police do anything about these idiots??? I live across the country and am getting calls from these worthless trouble makers. Time for someone in Philly to file a report on these worthless beings that have nothing better to do in this economy than prank people. That is a felony if I
ever heard of one.

This is a collection agency, and apparently they try to double-dip on debts that have been already paid or have exceeded the statute of limitations.  Superbob has the right idea.

I told them to go to HELL!

Called my cell, didn't leave a msg. I don't owe anyone money, so I'm just being spammed. Added to my phone's SPAM entry, complete with silent ringtone.

callled and when i answered heard voices in background then hungup

I began getting calls from Tate and Kirlin demanding information about a family member. I told the caller that I didn't have the phone number or address of the family member. The caller then went off on me! The man was extremely rude and even threatening-sounding. Regardless of my answer, the calls continue.
I am elderly and quite handicapped. The phone quits ringing just before the answer service comes on, causing me to have to get up and make it to the phone for nothing. I am worn out physically after a few of these trips to the phone.
Tate & Kirlin calls several times a day and it is becoming even more frequent. But, I know exactly how to stop this kind of arrogance!

Have you folks ever heard of a Cease and Desist letter??? Google it. Copy it and fill it in, then send it to Tate & Kirlin
2810 SOUTHAMPTON ROAD
PHILADELPHIA, PA 19154.

Incidentally, those who write the blogs all in support of Tate & Kirlin, making cheap shots, heartless remarks, and ignorant remarks about "deadbeats," etc., are written by people paid to do so. Notice how they take on the complainants' demeanor, grammar and spelling. They are passing themselves off as just "one of us."  Send the cease and desist letter and show them that they are ignorant of the law!

Kept calling their number and they finally answered. Gave them my phone and asked who they wanted. Someone i had never heard of. Hopefully they won't call back. Blow their phone up like they do yours.

CALLER ID SAYS TATE & KIRLIN, WHICH COMES UP ON WEB AS A COLLECTIONS CO WORKING WITH JC PENNEY.  THEY ARE CALLING HERE, A BUSINESS NUMBER NUMEROUS TIMES AND JUST HANGING UP.  PERHAPS THEY ARE ON AUTO DIAL AND THIS NUMBER MAY BE A DO NOT CALL NUMBER.  THEY ARE WASTING OUR PRODUCTIVE TIME AT WORK AND THIS IS NOT EVEN A CALL FOR AN INDIVIDUAL HERE.

Not sure what this is I have received texts from them  wishing me a Happy Valentines day & such.  Calls about the same time very day.

This number calls my cell phone morning, noon and night.  I've tried to call back and get nothing.

After reading the post above, I called the first number but no ext and the guy I spoke with would take my number out of the system but am not going to hold my breath.



As others mentioned , calls from 215-554-6481 come from TATE & KIRLIN ASSOCIATES.  Their address is 2810 SOUTHAMPTON ROAD, PHILADELPHIA, PA 19154.  Their phone number is 800-355-0333  and 800-298-3600.  Their email address is INFO@TATE-KIRLIN.COM and TKAINFO@TATEANDKIRLIN.BIZ, website is https://tatekirlin.123fastpay.com and TATE-KIRLIN.BIZ.

I have no debts with them, they repeatedly used a robot to call me, asking for a person who doesn't use this number and who does not and never has lived at my address. I asked them to stop and they continued, so I filed complaints with FTC ( https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/ ) and my state attorney general.  Will also file a complaint with the Pennsylvania attorney general here at http://www.attorneygeneral.gov/complaints.aspx?id=403 .

Although we are from Philly, we have lived in Tx for 6 years, and this company is calling a cell phone number that we have only had for one year.  As far as we know, we don't owe money to anyone in Philly anyway.

Thank you so much for this information!

I get several calls as early at 8 am and as late as 9 pm... just like everyone else when I answer there is no one there and then it hangs up.. I call it back and I get a fast busy signal.  I have 5 kids and my babies go to bed early and sleep late and I would appreciate it if they would quit disrupting my life!!!!

How do we report them?

These b*****ds call many times a day, then stop for a few months and it starts up again.  I blocked them, then they called from 215-554-6481.  They say nothing, noisy in the background so obviously a call centre full of debt collecting b*****ds.  I have no business with them, never have.  I finally got them to say something and they were rude to me, all they asked for is "is Paula there", then nothing.  I told them to stop calling or I would report them.  Todate, they still call.

I'd like to see a copy of a "contract" I signed with them since I have no business or commerce with this firm.

REPORT IT TO THE F.T.C. AND F.B.I. AFTER YOU CHK. UR CRT. REPORT IF IT DOSE NOT SHOW, THEN THEY ARE SCAMERS.

call is from Tate & Kirlin they are trying to get money on 2 med.  bill I have alredy paid off, talked to someone from thir office told my I owe $700 + I ran a crt. chk. all the med. bill I HAD ARE PAID OFF AS OF 7/11 TO A REAL DEBT COLLECTOR CO., SORRY YOU NOT GETTING ANY MONEY FROM ME.

Somebody needs to shut this company down and sue the crap out of them. I get at least 3 calls a day starting at 8 am. on weekdays and weekends. I finally blocked this number, but am sure they will just call from another one of their bots.

It is not a legitimate bill collector.  It repeatedly calls my cellphone based in Toronto Canada

I keep getting calls from this number and I don't know why

Calls average of 2X/day on my cell, no message. I don't answer calls from numbers I don't recognize.

CALLS TWO OR THREE TIMES A DAY, NEVER LEAVES A MESSAGE, ONLY CALLS DURING THE WEEK WHILE I'M AT WORK. NEEDS TO STOP!
