GOT A CALL TODAY FROM 888-982-6960 SAYING THAT I OWE A PAYLOAN COMPANY BY THE  NAME OF SAFE LOAN.  NEVER HAD A PAY LOAN WITH THIS COMPANY . ASK HER TO FAX THE INFORMATION TO ME AND SHE WOULD NOT SAID SHE HAD ALREADY VERIFIED MY EMPLOYMENT AND SHE WOULD ADVISE BY THE END OF THE DAY TO TAKE ACTION.  

PH# come up to be a local number 215-593-7317.  left a message on my work phone telling me to call by the end of the business day regarding an important matter that came into the womens office.  didn't leave the name of the company; or her name.  She talk real fast; and say to call back toll free number 888-982-6960.
It is true all collection company's are required to send you a notice in writing of a debt they claim you owe; upon you requesting this in writing.
DO NOT give them your mailing address.  If they are legit they will already have your mailing address.

They keep calling me at work...and only leave a message to call them, and never identify themselves.

Saw new odd add on post. Did search found number ref to Allied Fidelity in Kansas City Ks. Couldn't find BBB report in KS but found ref to Midwest Allied and Allied Fidelity in Tx that now shows a disconnected number on BBB report. Liked the debt collector website provided by debt collector android. To work through predatory debt collector distortion, deception and unfair business practices can be a test of patience.  

The same thing has been happening to me for months now i went to the police and filed a report and they then filed to the FBI now my phone has a tap on it so when they call me they can trace the call and track these people down i am so tired of it stop calling my phone already and my job

I got a call from a Dustin Blythe saying a matter had landed on his desk and he was worried that I might not even be aware or it.  He instructed me to call 888.982.6960.  Well, these are so obvious, I knew it was a collection agency.  Sheesh!

I have no idea who Erika is and why she is calling me at my job and saying I applied for financial assistant. Liar Liar I did no such thing!

A coworker who works in the field and not the office got a call from this number while working. These people need to find something better to do.

received a call at work and on my cell about a payday loan that I don't have.  this guy's name was Rodney he also uses 704-900-3840

Section 809 of the FDCPA http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/consumer/credit/cre27.pdf requires 3rd-party debt collectors to give debtors written notice of debt (the key word is *shall*) :
"§ 809. Validation of debts
(a) Within five days after the initial communication with a consumer in connection with the collection of any debt, a debt collector shall, unless the following information is contained in the initial communication or the consumer has paid the debt, send the consumer a written notice containing?
(1) the amount of the debt;
(2) the name of the creditor to whom the debt is owed;
(3) a statement that unless the consumer, within thirty days after receipt of the notice, disputes the validity of the debt, or any portion thereof, the debt will be assumed to be valid by the debt collector;
(4) a statement that if the consumer notifies the debt collector in writing within the thirty-day period that the debt, or any portion thereof, is disputed, the debt collector will obtain verification of the debt or a copy of a judgment against the consumer and a copy of such verification or judgment will be mailed to the consumer by the debt collector; and
(5) a statement that, upon the consumer?s written request within the thirty-day period, the debt collector will provide the consumer with the name and address of the original creditor, if different from the current creditor."

A Collection Agent May Not?

Here are the top 11 actions prohibited by the The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act:

Misrepresent Him or Herself

  A debt collector may not misrepresent himself as an attorney or law enforcement officer.

Use the Telephone to Annoy or Harass

  A collection agent may not cause a telephone to ring or engage any person in telephone conversation repeatedly or continuously with an intent to annoy, abuse, or harass anyone at the called number.

Threaten Arrest or Lawsuit

  A collection agent may not threaten a consumer with arrest. It may not threaten legal action that is either not permitted or not actually contemplated. In other words, a the threat of a lawsuit may be an empty one.

Use Abusive or Threatening Language

  A debt collector may no use abusive or profane language in the course of communication related to the debt.

Publish a Bad Debt List

  Publishing the consumer?s name or address on a "bad debt" list is prohibited.

Contact By Embarrassing Media

  A debt collector may not communicate with a consumer by post card. It may not use any language or symbol, other than the debt collector?s address, on any envelope when communicating with a consumer by use of the mails or by telegram. A debt collector may use its business name if such name does not indicate it is in the debt collection business.

Contact a Consumer at Work

  A collection agent may not communicate with consumers at their place of employment after being told this is unacceptable or prohibited by the employer.

Seek Unjustifiable Amounts

  A debt collector may not demand any amounts not permitted under an applicable contract or as provided under law.

Contact a Consumer Represented by an Attorney

  A collection agent may not contact a consumer after it learns the consumer is represented by a lawyer.

Communicate With a Consumer After Receiving a Validation Request

  If a consumer sends a written §1692g response within 30 days, the collection agent may not communicate with the consumer until it mails the consumer the requested verification of original creditor's name and address.

Communicate With Third Parties

  A debt collector may not reveal or discuss the nature of a consumer?s debts with third parties other than the consumer?s spouse or attorney. A collection agent may contact neighbors or co-workers only to obtain location information. It may contact a third party again if it has reason to believe the information the party provided previously is false.

Bills.com FDCPA FAQ

Below are questions Bills.com readers ask frequently:

Can a Collection Agent Call My Cell Phone?

  Yes. However, if you tell the debt collector it may not use that number because it is a cell phone, it may not contact you again at that number.

I Keep Receiving Dozens of Calls From Collection Agents. Is That Legal?

  No. Unscrupulous collection agents will use "block parties" or "office parties" where they contact a consumer, multiple neighbors, or co-workers telling them they need to reach the consumer on an urgent matter. This is not permitted under the FDCPA.

A Collector Says I Will Be Arrested if I Do Not Pay

  This was a true statement before the US Civil War, but has not been true since. People may be arrested if an aggressive judge files a bench warrant for a person who does not appear at a hearing relating to a lawsuit regarding a debt. However, in that case, the offense is the failure to respond to a court order, and not the existence of the debt. As stated above, it is illegal under the FDCPA to threaten a consumer with arrest if the consumer does not pay the debt.

Received a call at work.  Stephanie just left a message for me to call her.  I would like to know how these people get your phone number and work number.  I am tired of them blowing my phone up or calling my work embarrassing me.  I have several arguments with people like this stating that I owe money to someone I know nothing about saying they are going to send the sheriff after me, call my employer, garnish my check, have me arrested.  I tell them do what you need.  Apparently you don't know the laws here.
