People from this number keep calling me several times a day, and asking for  a person whom I don't know, and who never lived at my home. I asked them several times during past few weeks to remove my number from there telephone list, but they just keep calling. Today I spoke with there supervisor Sam Pirs, who just hangup on me without replying to my request.

This is definitely Berks credit.  They are nasty, and relentless.  Even if you are earnestly paying off your bills they will hit your credit report as if you are not paying your bills and they harass you with phone calls.

Hey bud
Realize that even if you pay them monthly to pay off the bill as you can affoed, they still call you and harass you. They use fowl language and also make threats that are against the law. So shut up and stop your arrogant comments about what you don't know and get some compassion. GEEZ

You must be the collection agency scum who love to harrass others.  Are you bitter because you get paid on commission and can't get anyone to pay?

You seem like the real deadbeat.

It's not just people who owe money who get these obnoxious calls.  A lot of us DON'T owe any money yet this company will call us still.

It's sad to be people like you who come here to harrass others.  Grow up.

This company is Berks Credit Company and they will call you nonstop even if you tell them that they have the wrong number.  They make you jump though hoops to give them all sorts of your personal info (they claim they need your number too even if they call YOU and you pick up) just so they can remove your number from their lists.

I reported them to the BBB.

I'm getting calls by these people and I don't even owe anything to anyone in PA.  I live in another state and get hounded by these people.  It's not always "deadbeats" who get called nonstop by this ridiculous company.

Your comment was no help to anyone and instead of being a jerk to everyone, you could either help to stop these comapnies from calling people who don't owe anything, or else just go away in general.

Its a shame how many of you complaon about the calls you get why not just pay the damm bill and the calss would stop you were satisified with the work the hospital or whatever it may be gave you why not just pay  then when you come to see your in debt up to your eye balls and dont know what to due sad to be ya

Receive an average of 4-5 calls per day from this number every day.  Very annoying.  No message left by them.  I do not answer.  If they are a collection agency I have nothing in arrears for them to be calling about.  I don't understand why something can't be done about this.  They obviously, from reading all the emails, are a very annoying company and, evidently, rude!

Go to ftc.gov and file a complaint. The FTC loves to go after clowns like this.

to the person called who pays his bills(that's iffy)WHY DON'T YOU fall BACK INTO THE MUD PIT YOU CAME FROM YOU PIECE OF DOG....!we can all tell how super intelengent your not. Go back to your job? drug pushing in some dark alley.

sid, look up the deffination of harrasment. I bet what they are doing is NOT harrasment. they can call you as many times as they would like. your caller ID and answering  machine does not count as a contact. It is up to you to tell them NOT to call.  

ellen, a debt can be persued FOR EVER, if it is not paid. It is up to YOU to provide proof that it is paid. And depending on what medical procedure it is, many of the balances are the same.

JE, they do not have to tell you who they are or why they are calling, until they identify the person they are speaking with is the person they are looking for.

007 or should I say 006 & 1/2.
you are just an A hole. you must be a real DEAD BEAT.

If all you dead beats would just pay your bills, you would not have to worry about the calls.

PAY YOUR BILLS, no wonder this country is in such financial trouble. You people think everyone owes you something. Grow Up and start paying your bills. If you can afford to run up your debt, you should be able to afford to pay your debt.

Get a life, better yet, GET A JOB.

This number calls me like 10 times a day and when I answer noone is on the line, it is extremely annoying. PS they will not leave a message.

Finally answered the call after receiving 3 per day.  they were looking for someone not assigned to this phone.  automated service, could not get anywhere with it.  called back.  spoke with an agent.  they are going to remove the number and apologized.  registered to Berks Credit & Collections, Inc 900 Corporate Drive Reading

This is a collection agency that has apparently bought up really old accounts from hospitals.  The account they called me about is over 10 years old and has been paid.  I sent them a letter explaining all that and to tell them to quit calling.  They are still calling about 3 times a week.
At least 5 other people at my work have received calls and mail  from these people and it seems that they all owe the same amount which I find a little odd and all the "bad" accounts are from the same hospital.

Just send them a letter, email and voicemal and tell them they are breaking the Fair Debt Collections Practices Act which states if you wish contact to cease it must. Also tell them of local laws regarding harassment and stalking.

THEY KEEP CALLING AND WHEN I ASKED WHO THIS
WAS, THEY WOULDN'T TELL ME. I ALSO ASKED FOR
THE MANAGER, AND HE WOULDN'T TELL ME THE NAME
OF THE COMPANY.

There is an "help wanted" ad in today's (02/08) Reading Eagle that uses that phone number for a "Tile & Stone" company. Is the number re-assigned?

keep calling placing the phone on hold then they get on will not give information to my wife just hang up.  Harrassing calling several times a day will not leave a message.

I HAVE BEEN ANNOYED BY THIS PHONE# AT LEAST 3 TIMES A DAY FOR THE LAST 5 MONTH. THEY NEVER LEAVE A MESSAGE.

This number calls me about 3 times a day on my cell phone. I have no clue who it is - they never leave a message. One time I answered and pressed 1 like it asked me to and they put me on hold for about 3 minutes until I hung up. It's ridiculous!

These people keep calling me! They are driving me nuts! They never leave a message and just keep harrasing me!

Ditto, twice a day, asking for my daughter who died three months ago. Recorded message with definite Hispanic accent, also Hispanic accent when I finally spoke to them this morning. Asked who she was and who she represented, she answered, "Goodbye." Didn't call back tonight - keeping my fingers crossed. If they call again, I'm going to tell them to take my name off their list. I understand that they are allowed one call after that, and then they must comply according to federal law.
I'm pretty sure it is a collection agency - my daughter died owing money (cancer care is very expensive.) Area 610 is Pennsylvania and 916 localizes it to Leesport, a small town roughly midway between Allentown and Reading.

Called at 8:55 AM asking for Jay (recorded message)I hung up.  But this number keeps calling.

It is Berks Credit & Collections, Inc., see www.berkscredit.com  They are a medical collections agency.
