There is little I could add here to the learned remarks of "Annoyed" from April 2009. A few states have some form of "repose" law, which renders a debt legally nonexistent once it passes SoL. North Carolina passed an Act in September 2009 which calls past-SoL collection or litigation "unfair". This sort of provision frankly needs to be echoed nationwide, since by the time a debt account has changed a few hands its chain of title is usually too distorted to have standing anyway.

Make the FDCPA your new pal and learn how to exercise your rights as an alleged debtor at FTC-dot gov.

Let's not start piling on the pranks and empty messages ... whocalled.us

This is actually an HIV positive gay dating service. They worship semen and feces. While they are shockingly unintelligent, their love of the AIDS virus is pure

This is a gay dating service. It is owned and operated by HIV positibve homosexual men. They promote unprotected anal sexual intercourse among men.

They and their loved ones will suffer for their behavior. I personally dealt with them and set up a trap, If they try to scam my bank account...they will meet me personally. They will be blessed 100 times over for their choices and it won't be pretty, but they will KNOW who they should not have wronged and who is punishing them. I won't break any laws, and my hands will be clean. They will recognize their blessing by midnight tonight if they wrong anyone.
This is for NAFS and anyone like them.

This is a collection agency that will keep calling and leaving voicemails about an urgent matter. I called back and unforunately now they won't stop calling. Don't answer this calls as they are rude and they hang up on you before you finish talking. I would look at budhibbs.com for help. Also, these collectors call on past debt that they no longer can collect, if in Texas, since the statue of limitations is more than 4 yrs.

National Action Financial Services Inc.

They have been sued successfully - Key developments for National Action Financial Services, Inc.
National Action Financial Services Agrees to Pay $85,000 to Settle Charges of Using Outlaw Pressure Tactics
12/19/2007

National Action Financial Services Inc. has agreed to pay $85,000 to settle charges of using outlaw pressure tactics. The company was the subject of 90 complaints within the last three years, about one third of them from within the state. The agreement, in addition to the $85,000 in fines and costs, requires NAFS to reform its collection practices in line with state and federal laws.

They have a bad reputation.

Call them and tell them leave a message letting them know that if they do not stop the calls, you will contact the FCC to file formal charges.

"Solution" and "me" are uninformed. The WORST thing you can do is call them. Collectors are not out to protect your rights. They are there to collect money from anyone who will hand it over out of fear...including people who don't owe, relatives, people with the same last name...they don't care who it is if they can scare them into sending money! Anything that is said over the phone is not enforceable - they can outright lie and there is nothing you can do. Visit the boards mentioned to learn how to contact them in writing to verify the debt and amount before you decide how to handle it.

By definition "junk debt" is debt that is purchased from companies who have charged off the debt and/or given up on collecting it. Often it has passed the time limit to successfully win a lawsuit and has already fallen off the person's credit report (7 years from date of last delinquency). For the record, you CAN get sued over a debt no matter how many years have passed. There are many uninformed individuals who end up with default judgments against them (which stay on your credit report for a minimum of 10 years) because they are sued over debt and do not show up in court - out of fear, because they weren't properly served, or because they mistakenly think they automatically don't owe it because the statute of limitations has passed in their state. Your defense is the statute of limitations, but you MUST show up and offer that defense to win the case.

Statute of limitations vary by state. While the negative information may fall off of your credit report after 7 years, the statute of limitations is anywhere from 3 to 8 years depending on the state you live in, the state you lived in when the debt went delinquent, or the state you lived when the account was opened. Most states consider credit card debt an "open ended account". But in some states a collector can file suit claiming it falls under written contract law, which can be as long as 15 years in some states. There are many junk debt buyers (collection agencies) who illegally "re-age" accounts on your credit report to keep it there indefinitely and falsely stretch the numbers of years they have to sue and to keep the negative information on your report and harming your FICO score.

Be informed. Do not let phone calls intimidate you. Let the machine get it, wait for the follow up letter, put everything in writing, keep accurate records, and contact your states attorney general for assistance. Do your research and know your rights.

The best way to deal with them is to call them and try to work out your problem. If they won't work with you two options - 1 hang up (which does nothing for you) 2 contact either compliance department or the orginal creditor you owe money to. But remember trying to work out your bills are stressful situations. Also to correct this comment "Junk debt buyers who buy debt that is past the statute" 1st the only junk debt is fraud accounts, and 2 past the statute only means you can not get sued over the bill, However you are still responsable for paying the bill.

maybe if you would contact them to find why they are calling, then correct the situation when you are fist called it can fix the problem quickly. Seeing that it is a collection company calling you maybe you should pay the bill you owe so the economy can start to fix, it doesnt fix itself you know

Junk debt buyers who buy debt that is past the statute of limitations for pennies on the dollar. Don't answer - wait for the letter they must send after initial contact is attempted. It will state what company the original debt was from and whether it was bought or assigned. Learn how to deal with these bozos (and other collectors) on sites with message boards such as myfico and bankrate. You don't need to pay someone to do it - you can handle it yourself with a little effort.

Woman calls and said a collection from GMAC was place with them today. Gmac closed that account 4 years ago. I contacted my lawyer and was told not to pay.The statue of limitations had already passed. I am sure this account was actually refereed by another collection agency in Fl. Gmac has nothing to do with it.

The called me three times in a row this morning. When I called back, I got directed all over the company, until a guy named Gary kept asking me for my name and mailing address. Yeah right.

I don't owe any money to anyone, so I told him I would wait until they called again then talk to them. He hung up on me.

Left message stating:
"HAD A MATTER CONCERNING MY SSN IN HER OFFICE AND NEEDED TO SPEAK ME URGENTLY"

Called today left message that stated:
"HAD A MATTER IN HER OFFICE CONCERNING MY SSN AND NEEDED TO SPEAK ME"
well, if that's the case, why did the number show up "unavailable".

Some one from National Action Financial Services called me for my paid debt. When I said that I had paid off my debt. They still keep on telling to pay my debt. They are so rude. See others are annoyed with this company debtconsolidationcare.com

Left message saying they were a collection agency and asked for my name to call back. I'm not in debt. They left the number 1-800-219-6304 for me to call back.

they have another number, 1800-219-6227
I thought something was funny when I get calls 11:59/12:25/12:52
It seems they try to at least call 3 times with in a hour.
next time you get calls from these numbers check out the times they come out.So far 3 a day including weekends. As advised from others don't answer these guys, it not worth the aggravation, how ever keep tracking there phone (cons) law suits are coming :)

called left message to call back. said they put file on his desk with a time line on it. its either a scam or collection agency. lled at 8 am

Prerecorded Message "This is not a sales call." Later a hangup.

Very rude. Calls again and again. Called to inform that there was no one by that name here and they called and yelled at me. Over and over.

Calls constantly. Threatens. Will not stop calling home, cell, and work. Had slacked on Wells Fargo payments. Several different people call. I called and made payment arrangements with Wells Fargo and am still getting these calls. I get them across the scale from sounding like my best friend to saying they are going to sue me and have the sherrif come and get me. Lovely. So, does this mean that when Wells Fargo is paid off I will still get these calls?

And yes, he says his company name is National Financial Action Service, but then he gave me another name.

A man called "Mr. Ward" was calling on behalf of Chase Bank. He also called my sister & her family as well as several of my friends regarding ME & MY account!!!! Apparently they do the call tracing thing to see who you call the most. They even got a friend that just got a new phone number a few weeks ago who I call all the time! That should be illegal...

Says they are National Action Financial Services. Real bad reputation.

I get calls everyday from Academy service asking for a different person, do I have legal rights?

Even if this is a collection agency, if you tell them never to call you again (even if you are the person they are looking for)they by law can NEVER call again. This is a law in ALL Fifty States. I was told My number would be removed within 24 hrs. I explained the State Att. Gen. would love to hear that because the law states if requested no calls the time begins when you hang up. By the way they were asking for no one who lives in my household. You don't need to be bullied, just use your State connections.

"Miss McReary" left a message saying I have a "violation" against me. Hahahahaha!!!!

A man claiming to be Aaron Casio called and left a message on my voicemail for someone that doesn't exist at my number.

On my outgoing voicemail message I clearly state that this person is not at my number due to the large number of calls I get for that person.

I called them back within 40 minutes of receiving the message and asked for Aaron Casio and I am told that he is out of the office (how convenient for them, this leads me to believe Aaron Casio is a fake name.) I told them that if I get anymore phone calls from them that they will hear from my attorney. The lady claimed that she would remove my number.

My attorney has already gone after seven collection agencies that have been bothering me for debts that aren't mine. I'll tell you one thing, those other collection agencies shut up really quick after hearing from my attorney. NAFS just may be his eighth agency to deal with.

NAFS has been told on more than one occasion not to call my number any more. I will file a lawsuit if this persists.

I didn't know who was calling from this number so I didn't answer and no one left a message.

Please do not call,we do not know a Cindi.

The key to collection calls is to NEVER ANSWER THE PHONE. Get Caller ID and if you DONT recogonize the number then dont answer.

Dont argue with them, dont "give them a peice of your mind", Dont "have fun" with them. dont even answer it. Just IGNOR the call. This is the ONLY WAY they will give up.

If they get ANYONE on the phone, they will keep calling.

YOu see, these collection people WANT you to answer, this CONFIRMS your Phone Number. Once they know they can reach you, then they have a HIT on a phone number and a way to irritate you. SO they will keep calling over and over.

If you Agrue with them, Well, then you have give them EXACTLY what they want. Once you start talking to them, they know they have you.

If they NEVER get a hit, meaning that no one ever answers the phone, then they soon (within a few months) realize it's a waste of time to keep calling.

Calls daily for the past few days, no message. Advice from here, go to the National No Call site, file a complaint. You must be on the no call list for 31 days to do so, but file a complaint every time the number shows up. Didn't know who it was until I did the phone number search and found these complaints. File a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission as well, if they are a debt collector attempting to collect a debt you don't owe, file a complaint. Am looking for other sites to file complaints on as well.

Hard rain is coming, Gary!

Called several times in a row. I told them politely they had the wrong number each time. This lady screamed "Liar!, Liar!, Liar!, Liar!" at me. Very unprofessional.

THESE PEOPLE KEEPS ON CALLING ME SO I AM GONNA PUT A TIME BOMB ON THEM AND WATCH THEM EXPLODE BECAUSE THESE PEOPLE NEEDS TO GO TO HELL AND THEY NEED TO HAVE A TIME BOMB STUCK UP THERE ASS TOO ALSO

Well I am happy to say that for the past year I have been DEBT FREE!! Meaning I told all the Credit Cards to go to Hell and never paid them another dime of the $10,000 I owed at 30% Interest!! I now live all cash and I LOVE IT!! FREEDOM!!

Anyway, this is yet another collection agent that is trying to call me, I just IGNORE the call. NEVER EVER ANSWER THE PHONE WHEN COLLECTION PEOPLE CALL. If you talk to them, they keep calling. After about 8 months, they start selling the debt and eventually they just give up. If you EVER talk to them or even answer the phone, they keep calling.

I LOVE Living without Credit!! Cash Only for me for the rest of my life!!

There is a way to stop these calls and it is for everyone whether you truly owe the debt or you are just an innocent person getting harrassed for no reason!!!

Go to fair-debt-collection.com and read about the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and how you can stop these harrasing calls!!!! Knowledge is power and when you know your rights, it makes it alot easier to deal with these collectors!!

Yes this (Company) is ran by a bunch of Stupid Yankees, no harm meant to the folks of NY. After about ten calls they finally tld me they were a collection agency. They have no ideal why i am eing called? Told them i was going to contact attorney generals office, peed them off so bad they threatehed to hand up on me. I never heard of a collection agency hanging up on a supposed bad debtor? What a joke. Good luck all.

they keep asking for lisa...no one here is named lisa and no one here owes any money to anyone. I told them to never call again and they called twice yesterday. I wish there was a way to deal with people like this.

I called the 1800 number back. A man named Gary Marshall left the message. A woman answered the phone and demanded phone number and area code. I asked who it was and what it was about. She demanded my information again, and I told her I would not give her any information until I knew who I was dealing with, she then put me on hold. I hung up. By reading the rest of this page, I know now I will not respond to their shady tactics.

some lady named Vanessa called for my mother-in-law. who does not even live with us. said she had our phone # as a emergency contact. She had my mother-in-laws # but still tried to tell me that she was told she could be reached here. I told her that she lived 20 mins away. When I asked her what this was in reference too all she would say in a hateful tone was that: she had some disturbing documents come across her desk and that she needed to speak with her ASAP! I told her that when I saw her I would give message. But knowing my mother-in-law I think that they are trying to scam her she is elderly and on a fixed income.

Like the rest of you, I get a few calls from these people. They say I owe $900. No I don't. They insist. They were rude. BIG MISTAKE. I Googled their 800 number and got the address in NY like some here. Then I found the Budd Hibbs site and got their 800 numbers. I just finished filling up their answering machines with the news and some talk about how interesting my penis is.

I also found an SEC filing from when the National Action Financial partnered with Sitel Corp. Turns out that Michael Fletcher has a phone number of 770-936-8998, with an office in Georgia. I think I will call my new friend tomorrow and everyday this year and next. How about the rest of you out there. I suggest we fill all their machine time up and then call their chief operating officers at their true numbers as shwon on the SEC filing. (Its form 8-K for the Sitel Corp. in case you want to find it for yourself. Good luck all.

called twice in a matter of 10 minutes with no message left

If you get a call from this # put a trace on it after pick up
hang up and dial your trace # available thru phone service
provider.

Communicate with your phone service company which will initiate
internal proceeding ,then prepare for a Civil Lawsuit against
The Business License Holder or Holder's a class action suit
could be effective as well.
Research who the actual " Business License Holder" is and start
filing complaints to the license issuing agency with the objective
of a license revocation.

I know one of them , she has 3 children and in
the age of 37 never held a taxable job.
She's living of Childsupport payments and smoking crack

she make bills knowingly she want pay , she has so much
debt it would be a nuff to keep her sponsor busy for
two life times to process her own stuff.

(Just ignore these "Trash Calls ")

Their sometimes call themself Government Employee's
meaning walking to the mailbox picking up their Tanf
and Foodstamps and other characteristics are moving
from place to place leaving bills behind.

If their dont even know your name believe
me ,their is no claim.
However you got a Harrassment Claim.

Their Employees are trained by shady character's
with little or " No Education " , if their would
pay all their unpaid bills their got floating
around their would have no time to call anybody
else.

Genuine and Legit legal claims are handled by
trained legal experts ( Attorneys )in a proper
Juris setting ( Court of Law ).

Those Guys who calling your House are Street
Scavenger's and most likely Drug Edicted without
any regards for ethical codes ,which are beyond
their educational level of comprehension.

Automated Message threathtening ,been calling daily
asking for a person with a " Spanish Name " for at
least 1 year.
(Our Ethnicity is of African American ,Cherokee,
White with some German Flavor which covers our
entire " Houshold ")

Their is none and never has been a " Spaniel " in
this Household.

I consider legal actions against this company incl.
but not limited " Business Licensure Revocation "
Civil Law Suit face amount no less than 1 Million
Dollar's against this Business Venture.

Receiving messages from Gary Marshall telling me to call him back. I wish they'd cut the crap.

These assholes are clever with that "legal representation" verbiage to try to scare the crap out of you. I hope their get sued for everything them and their next four generations own.
Stay away from them, once you answer the phone they never cease because you have just validated your number with them. All they want tis a call back and you are theirs forever or at lease until they get fried some kinda way. Send a cease and desist letter so that they have to sign for it when they receive it. when you get your receipt back from the post office staple it to the copy of the letter you sent them and go from there.

This number called my work, looking for a former employee. When told that the person did not work for us anymore, the caller started asking personal questions about that person. I informed the caller that I knew nothing about their whereabouts or anything as the compnay had changed states. The caller stated " Sh*t, I have some major business I was working on with him, can't you give me any information about where he is?" I told her that I had heard he left the country for health reasons. Then I hung up[.
The caller was very pushy, wanting personal information. Rather rude collection company.

these people are incredibly obnoxious with repetative phone calls, leaving no name for the message. they had the wrong number and i've received about 30 calls on my answreing machine. always a recorded message, no person. OBNOXIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!11

Received a few calls from these people. told me i had an account that i could prove was in no way mine. they told me to pay up and they could help me get my money back from whomever actually made the charges. This doesn't show on any credit report, even though they tell me they are looking at a copy! They just wanted the money regardless of any valid debt to anyone. You have to wonder why someone would pay them to help settle a debt you never had. (This seems to track to some regional department store that doesn't do business within 250 miles of where i live. Gotta love bottomfeeders!

Called on my Cell phone, does not leave message

8 yr old c/card charged off.bankcard company no longer exists.last threat was from "elizabeth mongelo" now it's been passed back to a male.2-3 times per week they call.

I am confused as to how this site works.

today at my place of employment on answering machine" elizabeth mongelo from national action financial service.please call our office by 8:00 to avoid further action! x 2883"

these dead beat mother fucking people >National Action Financial Service
168 Lawrence Bell Rd. Ste 100
Buffalo New York
Phone Number:
716-650-6240 better stop calling my mother fucking number or else these deadbeat assholes are going to be not a dead beat company no more when i put a mother fucking lawsuit on the dirty bastards too also they are very rude people and someone needs to put a end to them too also

They keep calling for my poor mom, she doesn't owe anybody... We have told them over 30 times they got the wrong person. They said "You are a f*cking liar" I got her on my voice mail. Making plans to sue them. Anybody wants to take action against them? Feel free to email me at umdan@bellsouth.net

I have the same problem. "Mr Alltough" keeps calling and leaving messages for someone who doesn't even live here. I have told them repeated times that the person does not live here and they say that they will take care of it and then end up calling the next day with the same bs. They get more and more threatening every time. Today, he left a message saying for us to call back within 24 hours in order to "protect" ourselves. We called and told them once again that the person does not live here and this time threatened to take HIM to court for harassment. We will see how it goes. If you don't owe money, then don't bother with these people. We went months with our home phone unplugged to avoid these unnecessary calls, but they still continue. This company needs to be reported.

action financial services the woman was shawna moorehouse, we have not debt, but we do have a web page where she most likely got the number. it is bogus and DO NOT GIVE THEM ANY INFORMATION OF ANY KIND. they also send letters to your house, and some people on the web have said they are very annoying, and the company is out of India. SO dont answer and report to the do not call list or your local BBB and try the state commerce office to report FRAUD

These people are liars, plain and simple. The caller said he was trying to reach my husband regarding an application for employment he had submitted. I thought that laws were in place to hold these people accountable for such diectful actions.

They called my mom's home & asking for me. She told the idiot he doesn't live with me any more. The guy started to insult my mom.

Received a phone call from 716-650-6240, came up on id as unavailable so I did not answer. They left vm looking for a Margret Walker (no one here by that name)said her name was Amber Craw and that she was from National Action Financial Services and for to call back at 1-800-219-6841 Ext. 2368.
After reading the comments I'm glad that I didn't answer :)

They've called and left several recorded messages...they don't ask for anyone by name just say it's not a sales call but a collection agency. Like *that* will get anyone to call back. LOL Neither my partner nor I have the slightest debt or unpaid bills. I think the whole thing is a scam. The number was 219-6481 - name of Lynch. Seriously, isn't it time for a class action suit?

these people keeps calling me they keep it up i am going to put a class action lawsuit against these people they are stupid people too do not answer there calls too also

A few months ago I moved and got an updated cell number in my current area code. Immediately I started receiving collection calls from various agencies regarding the previous owner of my number. Most agencies have been understanding and have removed my information. However, these people have no intention of removing me from their database after 3 months of attempts.

I know the Fair Debt Collections Practice Act very well. I, unfortunately, was a collector for American General Finance when I was in college and graduate school. I also worked for an attorney who sought judgments against debtors. The people calling from 716-650-6240 are completely skirting the FDCPA; No calls before 8am or after 9pm (local time to the call receiver). They are also not allowed to be rude, threatening, or abusive in any manner. Report these violations to the Attorney General of your state as well as the Attorney General of New York, where this company is incorporated. they keep calling my phone number for no reason at all so everybody report them to the right people

These peopel have some nerve! I let it go to voicemail and the message I recieved was horrific! Nasty threats, very bad tone and actually raising their voice!. I did some research and found they are a collection agency who buys debt that is past it's statute of limitations so they cannot collect in court. To make it worse, they won't give you information about the debt! I still have no idea what they are talking about!! Just avoid their calls or send them a certified letter telling them to stop.

looking for individual w/ like name, do not talk to them, will not do u any good. see how to deal w/
bottom feeder collection agency's
go to debtorboards.com. do not get mad, get paid!

these people keeps calling my house for no reason at all and i am going to put a lawsuit against them if they keep calling me too also

They call daily. I have repeatedly told them they have the wrong person. Seems to do no good. I just don't answer anymore.

Ever wonder where drug addicts, prison parolees, and newly released mental patients go? They become debt collectors....oh.....that's why they are BRAIN DEAD DIRTBAGS!

Some male call from this number looking for my wife's mom. I attempted to explain that wife's mom did not live with us and that we weren't always in contact with her. He was persistent about leaving a message, even after I explained to him that she may not get the message. He then stated that my unwillingness to take a message was the reason "she's (my wife) is leaving". I attempted to discuss this with him further, but he refused to speak and then hung the telephone up. I was hoping he could tell me the date she's leaving, so I can plan a party that night!!! just kidding

I also have been receiving calls from this company. Is the business going to be shut down? or what? I'm tired of being harrassed by this number.

They always say, in an intimidating voice...

"Again the number to return this call to is 1-866-265-5287 and ask for Gary Marshall"

"My name is Mr. Marcy El. I am colling with offices of Nation Action Financial Services. This message is being left under Federal and State regulations. Unfortunately, due to the sensitive nature of this call federal law prohibits the disclosure of any additional information at this time. If you intend to protect your rights as a consumer contact me IMMDEDIATELY.

1-800-443-2918.
My name is Mr. Marcy El...and it repeats the SAME MESSAGE.

What is odd.. Gary Marshall and Mr. marcy El are indeed the SAME voice. How can they legally claim they are 2 different people when leaving messages.

They keep calling for a person who doesn't live here. The man told me to stop lying to him how could they be calling for a person who hasn't have last name and doesn't ive there. Well I have no idea who they want and I wish they would stop calling me. You all need to find a way to put them out of business. I have no reason to lie and my bills are paid, so whoever they are looking for they need to find them elsewhere.

Called looking for wife's mother who's a couple of months behind on 2 credit cards. She's never lived here or used our #'s.
Said he was "Anthony Ryan" with "Mr. Anderson's" office and was calling in reference of a "settlement".

They call, leave no message. Strange way to do business.

Ms. Madigan called me and started cussing at me and I hung up on her and she tried to call right back and I didn't answer. Who does that? I am now getting the calls everyday with some messages and some hang ups and I am waiting for the day it stops!

Someone calls me everyday (sometimes more)from this number. They do leave me a message saying they are from National Action Financial Services, but does not tell me who they are trying to collect for. I might would respond if they would tell me for whom they are calling.

Recorded outgoing message from "Mr. Lynch"
gave 866-529-1902 to call back

I know many phone companies have rules against these things. Spam, harrasment etc. Here, why doesnt everyone call and complain to ATT fraud dept or whatever. Get their phones pulled.

(716) 650-6240
Type: Land Line
Provider: AT&T
Location: Williamsville, NY

maybe we can get a pool together and have someone on their level deal with them.
I know how I would deal with them inperson,

I called this number back and they wanted my account number and asked what they were calling for but they insisted on an account number. I did get in a little trouble several years ago with a credit card but eventually was able to pay what was owed.

calls daily before you get out of bed till after you go to bed. computer call constant threats without saying who they are. i am terminally ill and need help with this. thank you

Told my girlfriend that I owed $**** and that I should pay it up! They've also called me at work several times.

calls several times/day - I never answer

I am always getting calls from collection agencies, none of which are for me. anyway i eventually get sick of it get some one on the phone and tell them they have the wrong number and to stop calling. and they stop, few months latter a different agency starts calling. this is the only one that has completely ignored me telling them to stop calling, and they are now calling me about three times a day.

they left message saying they follow state and federal policies but could not say they are calling. I don't know why they called but the caller ID said unavailable so I am unavailable. if they are not a fraud they would have a respectiable caller ID

automated calling system from (716) 650-6240 calls my cell phone every morning at 8 AM my time (PST) and I have no dealings with this company and don't give out my cellular number so someone else must have made up a phone number on their credit application and used mine - now I get the calls. Changing my number appears to be the only way to rid their calls.

Getting (and ignoring)calls several times a day for the past week or so from the 716 number.
Never answer the phone if you don't know who it is, or if it comes up UNAVALABLE. Legit callers state their business clearly. Don't have caller id? ask for it for Christmas! It's worth it for times like this.
Y' know this is bogus by the vague and ugly message, and especially if you are in no legal/financial trouble whatsoever. Don't give out anyone else's info, either, not even your bleepin' x's.
Take it easy; don't engage; Though the singing idea and the invitation to play children's games sound like a fun way to strike back.

NEVER GIVE A DEBT COLLECTOR YOUR BANKING OR CREDIT CARD INFORMATION! MAKE THEM VALIDATE THEIR CLAIMS!
NEVER HELP A DEBT COLLECTOR ROB YOU!

They call and hang up constantly! The one time I answered and asked who they were, they wouldn't tell me so I hung up on them. Guess what people.....that is the LAST TIME I will talk to you!

Threats, lies, intimidation and other assorted ILLEGAL activities. These MISFITS of society earn their money the HARD way, they break the law to do it. Keep both hands on your wallet, these over-paid and under-worked clerks are worse than a Buffalo blizzard. These collectors think that being a 'con-man' is a compliment. Stay far away from these Buffalo Bandits!

Yes this is scam and these people are now being sought by the attorney general from the state of Pa. The calls will stop shortly.

these harassers leave repeating recorded messages on my cell phone and i owe no money to anybody. i am really getting scared and may contact the authorites tonight when i get home from summer class. they told me i was stupid.

Some nasal idiot that says to call me , and never says what for.

this person called me (on my companys cell phone) and referred to me as somebody that owed them money. also called me by another name and told me to man up and tell them who i was and what my address was. i have found out that this is a scam to make people pay them that owe other people money. i cant imagine this tactic being used on old people. also come to find its mostly used on cell phones.

VERY rude...won't say with whom they need to speak...can't understand the broken English during most of the message

Received a call yesterday looking for my X-wife, I have been divorced for 16 years. They left the number 800-219-6481 RAY ex 2218, each time that I call I get an answering machine. They must not want my ex that bad.

These are repeated recordings from a Mr. Oliver. He does not state who he is calling for, what the issue is in regard to, and states this will be the last time he would call. This has been 7 weeks ago with calls averaging every other day, sometimes every day. I am on the do not call list and have filed complaints for every call these people make to me. FCC is suppose to be notified.

Calls at all hours of the day, sometimes early morning or in the afternoon. Leaves same demanding message about having to return his/her call and ends with stating no further attempts will be made (but the bastards call back anyway). Tried to call to tell them to quit the harrassment, phone rang once, person hung up - after several attempts, was connected to a voicemail with the sound of the man's voice leaving the annoying messages, stating "you've reached NAFS". Didn't leave a message, however decided to subscribe to a service from the phone company to reject their calls. Have had enough!

They keep calling for a person who doesn't live here. The man told me to stop lying to him how could they be calling for a person who has my last name but he doesn't live there. Well I have no idea who they want and I wish they would stop calling me. You all need to find a way to put them out of business. I have no reason to lie and my bills are paid, so whoever they are looking for they need to find them elsewhere.

very annoying. calles twice a day & has left msg to call 800.287.9730 & it just auto goes to busy signal---no answer---I have reported to the don not call every day twice a day. and we do not have any outstanding debts.

They called me just now and said they were James Dean and sorry for this recording as soon as i heard I hung up, then star 67 them back someone picked up and i hung up.

This person named Joe Wall called from this number. Said he was stuck at his desk and his boss wouldn't let him leave until he resolved the issue of a debt.What debt? I just got this number. If I see the number again, I won't answer it.

One thing that has worked in the past, is if you are on the Do Not Call Registery, report them every time they call. After they call, go on to the internet, and report the call. after a few of them, they get spanked by the gov't because if you are on the list, they aren't supposed to call you in the first place. Plus if they aren't listening to reason it's considered harrassment. I reported on that would call super late, and once i got their address, I sent them a letter stating they were getting turned in and if they continued to harrass me i was going to contact a lawyer. They stopped calling and I haven't heard from them since.

called repeatedly over the last 2 months states it's the last time they will call but they keep calling. they won't say who they want but want us to give them the address and social security number of us. Not happening

I keep getting calls from an auto-dialer with a recording from a male voice insisting I need to call the 800 number or they will take action. Today I got a recorded female voice saying she was calling from the National Action Network, same line about me or my counsel calling immediately. They never specified what it was they were calling about, so I assumed it was either an error (my phone is relatively new) or a scam. I have never gotten an actual person on the phone.

Very rude and unprofessional. Repeated empty threats about having to call back in 24 hours or else. If it's a collection agency, the dumbasses have the wrong number. Only debt I've EVER had was a new car purchase I paid on time and in full some 20 years ago. I don't even use credit cards.

Sounds like this is a big operation that's bothering a lot of people. Any lawyers out there want to file a class action suit against these assholes?

A guy calls from here every day trying to collect a $20K imaginary debt. The funny part is that every day he claims that "Today is the final day I will attempt to contact you before my client makes the decision for you!" I refuse to call him back because the debt laws are so strange that you never know when a simple phone call might mean that you agree to the debt. Sometimes I answer and moan at him or pretend not to speak english.

P/S:
The poster above who stated to dial *67. It doesn't work for these sleazes at National Action. They said my number showed up on their ID when I returned their call.

These jacka**** called my home looking for someone unrelated to us and when I mentioned no one of that name as a relative of my husband, they tried to tell me I didn't know my husband and he may have a secret life(or something to that nature) and even used an example of some freak who'd been a serial rapist for 20 years. WTF!
I reported them to the donotcall registry and am reporting to the bb of NY. Morons are desperate for their money aren't they?

Well after receiving a call from them every day for the last month, i finally returned their phone call. They answered NFS. I gave them my number and they gave me a weird name of someone they've been trying to reach. I said no, and they said they would remove my number from their list. We will see how that goes.

Received call on my cell phone looking for another person.

It appears many of these types of calls are for people who formerly held this cell phone #.

I can't wait until I have the ability to permanently block numbers from calling.

Seriously, it's hysterical...they called again so I sang again, this time some Tony Orlndo song....when they hung up on me, I called them back - dialed star 67 (*67) first so it shows up as private on their end - started singing away again.....this is getting fun for me. Now I have my friends doign it to them too - calling and askinghow their mom's are, did they ever take piano lessons, do they have any Olympic divers in their families.....so now myself and six of my friends call them up randomly, striking up nonsensical conversations. Recite some Lewis Carroll (Alice in Wonderland) stuff. Let's all take some time out of each of our days to do this. 6 minutes a day to re-toture your tortuers is worth every second it takes.
VERY IMPORTANT; REMEMBER TO DIAL *67 FIRST, or you might get a return call from a thuggalo/lette.

I answered the phone & pretended to be a very old lady. I asked THEM four hundred questions. Got them off the line by singing some random song, specifically, the Omani National Anthem (although I have no idea what they're saying in Arabic, it works - they hang up):

They have been calling for 5 -6 months for my stepson,i have told them over and over again i dont know where he is and tonight they got real pissed off at me becaused i chuckeled a little bit at the thought that they thought i might know where he is all of a sudden!SHE SAYYS!ARE YOU LAUGHING,I FIND NOTHING FUNNY ABOUT THIS!!WELL thats all it took and i came untied!!I let her have it so bad that she hung up on me!!LOL!!THEY NEED TO BE SHUT DOWN!!But how??I think she said her name was miss coles.

I called this number from my land line with *67 to block my ID. They had called my newly activated cell phone number not leaving a message. I gave the young lady the cell phone number they had called and to my surprise - she offered to remove the number.
She didn't however, offer to tell me who she was or whom she represented; but said they were attempting to reach a Sean M???ly

They still call daily despite re-calling them to tell them not to call. By the way, they by law cannot call any more. They must have caller ID as now when I call them back the call is disconnected before it is answered, much like a cell phone.

I HAVE HAD SEVERAL CALLS FROM THESE RUDE INDIVIDUALS. VERY SNIPY IN THE WAY THEY TALK. I'M A STAY AT-HOME MOM WITH A AUTISTIC CHILD. HAVEN'T HAD A CREDIT CARD IN NINE YEARS.{FILED FOR BACKRUPCY NINE YEARS AGO}THEY NEVER SAY WHY THEY ARE CALLING.

They notorious bottom feeders. They by old debts at a discount (that are past the statute of limitations which cannot be persued in court) and try to collect the entire face value of the debt anyway from unsuspecting people. Ignore these bastards just like the attorneys do.

these guys called me and say I owe money to Discover! I do not owe Discover ANY money! SCAMMER ALERT** SCAMMER ALERT!!! EVEN IF you owe someone money and they are legit collecting for you, they may take your money but not show your debt paid!!

I received this same answering machine recording, first part of message is cut off. A recording of a man states that he has made several attempts to reach me regarding his client and there will be no more further attempts and that I need to call or have my representation call 800-443-3012. I called this number, a woman answered. She asked who I was calling to speak to. I replied I do not know, because the message was vague. She said without knowing who I'm calling for she could not help me, as it is a collection agency for many businesses across the USA.
This was strange indeed, when I am up-to-date on all my bills!
I'll be sure not to answer.

Keeps calling and leaving same prerecorded message. Very annoying.

First part of message is cut off. A recording of a man states that he has made several attempts to reach me regarding his client and there will be no more further attempts and that I need to call or have my representation call 800-443-3012.

This is the second call I've received. The first time, I called the (716) number that came up on caller ID. A rude woman answered and sayed she could not help me if I didn't know the name of the person I was calling for and then hung up. I assume this is a scam as I am unaware of any financial or legal issues that pertain to me. I think if it were legite, I would be served by mail, in person or contacted via telephone by a LIVE person.

they keep calling with a recorded message and i don't owe anybody anything! caller id says buffalo

Called me on my Vonage Internet phone (an unlisted number) looking for my sister. They got my number from my wifes mother. I threatened to sue them. reversejudgement.com
What is up with these people??????????
DO I OWE YOU MONEY? NO!!!
SO LEAVE ME ALONE!!!
Violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act.

I received calls from 716-650-6240 for four months and never called back. Then, they stopped calling. DO NOT RESPOND TO THEIR CALLS AND THEY WILL STOP!! They continually left me messages (always a recorded message)saying that they "needed to talk" to me and that it was a "matter [that they] could not go into" in a message. As an attorney, I knew that this was disingenuous--the only matters one should not discuss over the phone are ones that would lead to civil, criminal or regulatory liability. There is no legitimate subject about which they could not leave a recorded message. Do not return their calls. By doing so, you will stoop to their level of ignorance. Remember the old adage: those who sleep with dogs get fleas.

Called my son and scared the heck out of him. He is 13 Yrs old and we jsut got him a phone with a new number.

Also got the call from "Mike Oliver" with very vague references to important matters and having tried to contact us before. Don't know if it's a wrong number or what, but the message alone is very harassing. Calls have been happening for 2 weeks straight.

they call from 866-529-1885 also. havent pick up but same lady named miss coles leaves message stated about an incident that happen in jan of this yr..have no idea what she is talking about. they act like they are the police or something what a joke.

When told no one by name they were seeking lived here, slammed phone down. I reported call to donotcall.gov, the Federal Do Not Call Listing.

They call my house looking for the previous owner although we have different numbers. Unfortunately the previous owners have run up lots of debts and I get soo many calls, I don't have an answering machine

very demanding...saying a relative needed to call him b/c he's in "serious trouble"...relative lives in another state. Said his SS# pulls up our phone number.

They called today (1st time), and left a message for someone that doesn't live here.
I love this site! Now I can check out all the "Not Provided's" that continue to call despite my # being on the Do Not Call Registry.

This is a collection agency trying to find brother of mine. I took message and passed it on. They keep calling me. I have a place of business and they call everyday this week. Getting real sick of them.

Here's detailed information from the BBB about this company:

search.buffalo.bbb.org

They seem to have a lot of unresolved complaints.

BUT, the BBB has extremely detailed info from the FTC about permitted and forbidden activites from this company.

I'll bet that they use a fair number of FORBIDDEN activites.

Check it out!

the 201-226-0509 phone number today called me as well as this # and asked about a car i had for sale. I did not have a car for sale and the person asked for my full name and i told him i had no car for sale and he doesnt need my name. I hung up and he called a few seconds later i didnt answer.

They called twice looking for my brother-in-law. He does not even live with us. The first time I was nice and explained that, as well as the fact that he was in jail for another year and a half. The second time a recording of a man said that I must call back etc., etc., so I did. The girl answered the phone as if she was at home without stating her name or business. She asked who I was and when I asked her name in return, she started getting nasty. I tried to explain to her that I already spoke to someone and that I am on the donotcall.gov list. She said that that could not affect her while yelling at me and hung up on me. So I reported them! They also use 800-443-3012

BEWARE! This guy calls and says 'aw I just received shocking news from Jeff sitting here next to me, its 800 304-3512, 1 800 304-3512.

THESE GUYS ARE SCAMMERS AND CON ARTISTS!!!! LOOSERS!!!!

They have left multiple messages. Latest is from Mike Oliver. We have never returned the call.

I get calls from here everyday except Fridays and the last message was left on Saturday March 17 2007 saying I hope you can get it together enough to call me back today. I didn't call him back and I don't intend to.

They called me (I do not know how many times) but I never pick up the phone. I hope they will STOP call me SOON.

A few months ago I moved and got an updated cell number in my current area code. Immediately I started receiving collection calls from various agencies regarding the previous owner of my number. Most agencies have been understanding and have removed my information. However, these people have no intention of removing me from their database after 3 months of attempts.

I know the Fair Debt Collections Practice Act very well. I, unfortunately, was a collector for American General Finance when I was in college and graduate school. I also worked for an attorney who sought judgments against debtors. The people calling from 716-650-6240 are completely skirting the FDCPA; No calls before 8am or after 9pm (local time to the call receiver). They are also not allowed to be rude, threatening, or abusive in any manner. Report these violations to the Attorney General of your state as well as the Attorney General of New York, where this company is incorporated.

They are asking for someone who use to own my number from before. How do I clear this up. I've only had my number for two weeks now and they call everyday!!!

they called my mother and i returned the call they were very rude and hung up on me twice. now they have another man stating to call and he claims to be a a lawyer. I reported this to the BBB and I refuse to pay a dime to them. thanks for your website for outing the deadbeats and Mike Stone is the one calling me

called looking for someone. I refused to give info. Insulted me, called me names I found amusing. Threatened me with a daily call.

A man named William Hooven called my office from this telephone number today. They have been calling my office at least once a day looking for someone that doesn't even work here ! They have been told to stop. Since they have not complied with my request I will call the NY State Attorney General. I am in New Mexico.

A man named Aaron called me acting like he was a friend. Claimed to be collecting a debt for Dell Financial. At first he was nice and personable but then when I explained I had made my monthly payments to Dell he began to argue with me.He refused to give me an adress and said they don't send bills to people I had to give him post dated checks over the phone. He offered me a settlement and said I needed to do a check by phone for half of the settlement. When I said I can not do this my husband is laid off he began to raise his voice and tell me resturants are hiring everywhere tell you husband to get off his ass and get a job. I then hung up on him he called back four times yelling we were a garbage family living in a garbage state doing everything we can to avoid paying our debt.

A Mike Joyce left a message for me today insisting that I call him back immediately. When I did, he was looking for my relative who I stated was my exhusband, asked if I knew how to reach him, when I said no, asked if I knew who his legal representation was--when I said no, he got snide and snipped, "You're divorced from him and you don't know who his lawyer is? I find that very hard to believe." I told him we'd been divorced 8 years, gave the last known number and wished him luck. Now, I read this and wonder what will happen to my ex and if this will come back on me too....

!!!!!!!!!!!UPDATE!!!!!!!!!
866-375-9424
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just got a call from 866-375-9424 and it was a survey for the Comcast Business Internet I just ordered. I don't know if the number was reassigned

This number (866-375-9424), has been calling me 3-4 times per day for about 2 weeks. They never leave a message and I never answer. My bills are always on time. I'm glad I found this site.

I got a call from 866-375-9424, I answered but they just hung up. I do not know if this is related or not but I filed out a rebate at OnRebates.com and I think they sold my information, (and they never gave me my rebate) I just got one of those chain mail scams at my home address the other day and it was pushing a company for buying mailing lists.

These idiots called my brother in law, told him that I used his phone number as my primary # (BS) and told him they were going to take me to court! Ok...first of all, how did they even get his phone #?? They did not believe him that I did not live there. (I have lived in the same home for over 10 years...) I also tried calling the 716 number, no answer. I found the 866 number here, thanks! I left a message and told them to call me (to see if they even have the right person) and let them threaten me with legal action, I am a legal student, and I have seen the BBB complaints against them. I will contact the attorney general and file stalking and harassment charges if they become abusive to me on the phone. Ridiculous.

My number is a new number, and I get this caller they ring till the line goes busy,It is a call for previous number owner, yet they wont stop calling

I'll tell how to stop the calls!

jomorve @ aol . com

They called the 1st time and asked to speak to someone who does not live here. They said they were a bank. They called about 10 min later and when I said hello they hung up. So I called them back and spoke to "Mark". He said they didn't have my name in their list. When I asked what business this was. He said "We make phone calls, that's our business." I asked him not to call here again, since they had no record of why they should be calling me in the first place. His reply was "This is not Burger King. You can't have it your way." He made other insulting comments and I finally hung up.

Called today but didn't leave a message

Very threatening and rude voice recording saying he was sick and tired of trying to get hold of me and I had to call him back at some 800 number, which was not the Caller ID #. First ever call from this guy, so I googled it and found this site. They must call everyone with a similar name to whoever it is that owes money and hopes the right one will eventually call them back. Very weird - hope this is the last I hear from him!

Gotten a few phonecalls for a relative. Recordings, but with a hostile tone. When I called them to have my number taken off the list, I got a real person and they seemed pretty nice. We'll see if they call again (hope not!)

I just received a call from 866-375-9424 on my cell phone. They didn't leave a message.

We are getting calls from this number. They leave a name of Fred Spangler representing Chase Bank along with an 800 695 4917 Ext 2369 number to call. They are very annoying and persistant and will not say what they want to talk about.

We have rec'd numerous calls from this character and he never really says what he want or who he represents although he mentioned Chase Bank. He has been told not to call us again as we are on the US National Do Not Call list.
Hopefully he will get the message... too bad we cannot put him out of business.

Received a call from some man, saying this was a "banking issue". called the number back, the man on the other line told me to "Pay up bitch".
I told him to shut the fuck up and hung up the phone.

they call every day asking for someone i have never heard of. dont they have the smarts to look up a phone # and see my last name starts with an M not an L they are compleat asses

They keep calling me and asking for Jessica. I'v told them that I do not know a Jess. They keep insiting that I do or that I am her. This last time the guy told me that he was going to tell the police and rambled a bunch of shit at me and hung up.

I got a missed call today from number 1866-375-9424, they probably got my full name through my voice mail. when i tried to call back and no one answered. I then online googled this phone # and it brought me here. I then saved the numbers to my phonebook such as 716-650-6240 and renamed it as "Don't answer". and .866-529-1899 -"Don't Call". i don't know where they got my number, maybe through the resumes that i posed online. hope they won't call me and i won't pick up their calls.

Threating phone call would not be specific about what he was calling about. Probubly a scammer and needs to be stopped.

Be aware; if you are not listed; 201-226-0509 (Caller ID - RSRCH) will call first. They state who they are, ask for you by name and normally hang up.

National Action Financial Serv. (Caller ID - Nat Action Fin, 866-375-9424) will then start calling within the week. Leaving a message to call 866-529-1899 w/Ext; concerning a claim and that this is not a sales call. They will then try Call Block and then 716-650-6240.

If you happen to answer or recorder picks up, you get a recorded message that is very ignorant if not threatening.

these people are looking for the previous owners of our house - which we found out only after repeated calls to us over the course of several weeks. They finally left the message with the name of the person they were trying to contact which is how I figured out it was the previous owners. my husband called them back and indicated as such and they apparently were nice about removing our number from that account.

Phone number 1-716-650-6240 has called me on my cell phone ten times between 7:04pm Central time Jan. 11, 2007 and 9:36am Jan. 23, 2007. An emblem showing a computer and a phone shows on my cell phone, indicating that it is a computer calling my phone. No message is ever left. I called the number back on Jan. 18, 2007 at 1:30pm. The woman who answered told me they didn't have my number connected with an account. I said yes they do because they keep calling. She rudely debated the matter with me. I asked to speak to a manager - and a real manager, not a call center person who calls himself a manager. The next person who talked to me was much more polite, but he said they must have a wrong number. I told them that can't be the case since several times in the previous week. He said that he would look into it, and if they call me again, to call back and report it. I told him and no, I am reporting it now, and I’m not going to keep calling them. I indicated that if they call me again, I will report it elsewhere. They have called me back four times since – once on Jan. 22, 2007, and three times on Jan. 23, 2007 all within an hour and five minutes! I tried to answer it, but I cannot. The cell phone usually gives me a choice to accept or reject a call, and with this number, my only choice is to reject it.

I told them that their information is wrong and they won't listen.

These people called me and the supervisor Mike Pelosi
was very rude and used vile language. They threatened to take me to court

same message,It's a very nice lady voice"on tape"to call back.To say it's a personal matter,haha!after calling back,some guy what's to verify who there looking for and scream threats at you !!!

They call and leave messages, always the same voice, but give various names....their messages always SHOUT!!!! and give ultimatums that we should call by end of today (it is already the end of today) they always say they need to make a decision. Oh Yeah sure, They need to get a life!

TOLD THEM TO PISS UP A ROPE!

just ignore them.. they stop

idiots!!!

Their tactics are illegal and harassing. DO NOT SEND THEM ANY MONEY. Please be sure to check budhibbs.com for the scoop on these bottom feeders.

I called the guy back who has been harassing me. As soon as he answered the phone, I held down the #2 button on my phone.

Hope his ears still hurt.

Oh boy, Here we go...I believe this is the same jerks who harrassed me months ago, & then stole my credit card number from my report & went shopping! The account they called for is not even mine, it's my H's!! I am in the process of filing charges!! So be careful of these ignorant idiots!!!

sometimes they call and only let it ring once, then hang up. what a child.

they called for a relative and when i wouldnt give them his number he said he would continue to call me. i told him that i loved him and that we should play hungry hungry hippos sometime and get to know each other and stop the violence. he hung up.

it was a call for my dad when i said he was not home they said it was regarding a complaint against him and would call him later.

This place called ME looking for one of my in-laws. Surprisingly, they did leave me a message, but I didn't bother to respond after searching about them on this website.
The caller sounded like a stereotypical "Brooklyn Thug", it was almost so ridiculous it was funny.

Crazy lady. Asking to speak to me or my legal represenative when i told her I was the person she was looking for told me i hope i liked jail time because I was going to see it I was like okay what is this in regard to and she said you know and hung up WHAT THE HELL????????

These people are using unscrupulous methods to track people down. They use the phone to harass people into giving them information either on themselves or others they have reason to think you should know or are related to.
Bottom-feeders!

I've also been getting calls from this number. The caller ID shows: Williamsville, NY and
716-650-6240. No messages are left and when I attempt to call the number it rings ad nauseum. These collection agencies are incredibly sneaky and use tactics to intimate and instill fear. Since I refuse to answer a call that does not identify the caller by name or by company they call family members and try to intimidate them about "an urgent and serious matter concerning so and so". They even call my "ex" even though we've been divorced for 25 years and they annoy family members who live in other states with their calls. Incredible, huh ?

gotten this one a few times. Usually its a recording that I call ASAP on a personal matter. This time the message was from a human - Said he was giving me until this Friday to settle up. Except this is already Friday. Never mentioned amounts and Demanded that I call ASAP else immediate legal action I did try calling - got his v-mail. never did call back again.

never did find out want he wanted. or what he was trying to collect.

so much for basic civility in explaining the call

Rude, inexperienced collection company. The guy they are looking for is in the phone book, and they can't find him!!

I received two calls from someone identifying themselves as Brenda Baxter. She asks me to call back. It is a recorded message.

persistant if my phone comes up unknown I dont answer anymore.

rude very rude. constant calls and when I finally decided to call back to let them know they are calling the wrong people, he got pissy and hang up.

Thee people are ruthless. they have actually screamed at me and my husband before and hung up on us. They call my mother-in-law and harass her. Tonight they called and told her that they were going to send a sheriff after me and that I had better pack my bags. They call my house about 10 times a day and have called before 8 am and after 9 pm. Does anyone have an idea of what I can do?

And here's the address:

National Action Financial Service
168 Lawrence Bell Rd. Ste 100

National Action Financial Services, Inc.
165 Lawrence Bell Dr Ste 100
Williamsville, NY 14221-7817
(716) 565-1020

They call anytime of day, but won't give you the address to mail them a Cease and Desist Letter. Thanks to this website we have the address.

they are harassing this #, it is a business # so it is the wrong #.
The fools do not even know how to send a message

Very rude...almost abusive. Called looking for someone who no longer lives at my number, and basically called me a liar. Very, very rude. Refused to tell us why they were calling or what company they were. My child originally answered the phone and the recording that they use is very loud and threatening!!

Left a message siting urgent business matter

Rude sneaky, They have left messages claming to have a settlement offer and leave a 1-800 # with extension and persons name for you to call ASAP.

I answered the phone and it goes directly to a prerecorded message of so I just hang up .. well one night I called the # back and a lady answered and asked who I wanted to speak to .. I told her they just called me and I was just returning the call .. she so rudely told me she could not help me unless I knew who I needed to speak with .. again I told her they called me and I just returned the call and SHE HUNG UP on me!! I have the # written down so we just dont answer the calls now .. it's always close to 10PM when they call too .. is that not against some kind of law?? If not .. it should be!

I have been called by William Preston everyday for over 30-days for someone that does not live here or have this number. I have repeatedly told him, and he is rude, and harrassing calling 5-times in a row non-stop. I do not owe him anything and he needs to look elsewhere for the person he is trying to reach. I am on the do not call and am going to report him to the attorney general's office of new york, indiana and the bbb.

they everyday and will not leave any kind of message so we are aware of their business. thank you for the help and letting me know who i'm dealimg with. many thanks melana

collection agency that are sleezy and underhanded. Be careful what you say or agree to. They will push you do things you are not able to do too fast. Clearly - they work at you and not with you

Ok I just tried to call that 716-650-6240. No one answered the call it cut me off and gave this your party can not be reached and at the end it goes 0916.

They called again today and finally left a message stating that they have tried several times and they are going to take legal action against us. Very rude and hostile on the answering machine. Good luck to them.

I have had three calls from this number. The first one I missed, and no message was left. The second one I answered and it was a recorded message saying "I apologize for this being a recorded message, but we have been trying to reach you, and due to the personal nature of the information we cannot leave a message, please call us back at 1-8______." I didn't listen to the rest of the message, or call them back as I thought it was some telemarketing scam. However, they called again today. I didn't pick up, and they didn't leave a message. I don't owe money to anyone, so I'm intrigued as to why they have my number!

This is a recording that sounds intimidatingthat says something to this effect"this is Sal and we"ve beeen trying to reach you call me before the end of business day or we'llhave to take action"

They called several times and won't leave a message and when they finally did. They said our neglagence will not be tollerated. Very rude and snotty. They need to be dealt with.

very rude. said we owed $12,000 and threatened to take us to court. called us liars (even though she didn't use those words). she threatened to take everything we owned.

jerks

My adult son was overdrawn on his ckg acct which was opened when he still lived with me. It was turned over to this debt collector right before my son went and paid his small ($80) overdraft. They have been calling me several times a day -- name-calling, threatening, abusive... and calling me "Delores" (no one involved is named Delores). They will not listen when I tell them to stop calling or that they have the wrong party. I just set up a recorder to get them on tape next time.

this is a collection agency that is VERY persistent and has shady tactics, check out ripoffreport.com and budhibbs.com on how to deal with them best

they wont leave a message
