I am making a list of dates and times of calls. If they continue, I'm going to report
the data to the Attorney General in Illinois. This caller tried to speak as a reqpresentative
of Medicare services. Medicare doesn't handle its business this way.

From comments of other people regarding these calls, it seems to me that we all ought to get
together and report the data we have to the Attorney General in Illinois or at least to the
police in area coed 847

Just hit *60 on your phone and put them on your block caller list. :D works for me every time they call, I just keep adding the number they are using to the block call list.

2009-04-05 03:02:43 UTCTess

called and left a recorded message stating they are trying to collect a debt from a person with a similar name. I thought it was against the Fair Debt Collection Act to state what the business is about and the name of the debtor to an unknown or third party. I called them back to be removed from their list. Next time will file complaint!

2009-03-11 17:59:00 UTCDave

The calls are generated by an automated system from Arow Financial Services which performs collection services for education loan lender Sallie Mae. Since it is an autodial system, there is minimal financial impact to the company to call at random and to call with great frequency - that is why this can be so frustrating. It's a shotgun approach to collections that relies on a certain percentage of recipients who will return the automated call and requires minimal human interface/cost per call.

I'd reccomend contacting the FTC online and filing a compliant at this address: ftccomplaintassistant.gov

Also, follow up with your state AG's office

Claims to be a debt collector, but I can't believe that a real debt collector would be calling randomly-selected phone numbers. They left a message asking for a someone with a different name whom I don't know. This is almost certainly a credit-card scam, where they hope that you will call back and give them your credit card number. If this were a real debt collector, they would know how to use a telephone book, and only call the people that they are trying to collect debts from. DON'T EVER GIVE OUT YOUR CREDIT CARD NUMBER TO SOMEONE WHO CALLS YOU!!!

2009-01-24 03:46:22 UTCCal

Asked a lot of personal information. Obviously looking for someone else with same name. Very creepy and obtrusive!

I keep getting calls for someone who had my number previously, obviously not a nice guy!! Collection agency!! I finally picked up the call, after getting 4 calls all day. The first 3 didn't leave any message, this one said to call back on an 800 # that I didn't understand , & did not call back. The person they are trying to reach is NOT ME!! I even tried to follow the prompts, to no avail!! The next time I get it, I will be reporting to the Better Business Bureau!!!

2008-10-06 20:47:44 UTCwally

A Tammy Smith called and said "personal matter" she is a bill collector who got my cell phone number. NOT COOL!!!

2008-09-08 21:41:25 UTCprivate

they are now using phone number 1-224-233-0050, they call if u answer they hang up on u. called number back told them to stop calling, they kept asking for more info. toldf them nothing but just to stop harrassing us.

2008-08-13 15:27:48 UTCOP Dee

Arrow Finance Collections: Calls our company all the time demanding to speak with an employee. These type of personal calls are not suppose to go through. I told the agent I could put them in a general voicemail box that numerous ppl get messages from, but if it waqs personal, not to leave a message because others would hear it. She left a personal message anyway, financial info. So, I guess they do break the rules. Why can't anyone do something about it though.

2008-08-01 09:14:50 UTCLynda

They called me again yesterday. When I asked them to stop calling me they hung up the phone. Later I called at their other no. they listen all my details clearly & realized they were making mistakes. They were trying to trace a person from a old no. Later they removed me from their call list. You can follow the link to get some more recent example of the behavior of this company. debtconsolidationcare.com

2008-07-24 14:08:08 UTCMr. G

These people are a bunch of law breaking idiots. I have called them And in writing told them not to call or try to contact me at all. Which under the Fair Debt Act (or what ever the correct wording is for it)once you inform in them writing not contact you they have to stop all communication with you. Because they are not the person you owe money too. And if you don't any money and they still keep calling you. Get a attorney and sue this dump butts! Because it is called harassment! And if you told and wrote them not to contact you then sue the dump butts too!

Interesting,

I have unlisted number and they keep calling asking for strange name, and they keep calling anyhow. Makes me wonder as this is a new broadband number, so either tel company is selling number or it is not truly unlisted?

Have called my parents at least once a day for the last 2 weeks. Won't leave a message. There are no unpaid bills here.

2008-05-15 16:45:15 UTCY

This isn't the first time this company has called. I've told them they're calling the wrong person, but I guess that doesn't matter. One time my husband almost paid them $600. He doesn't pay the bills and didn't know this wasn't our bill and because the name was so close to his, he thought they were mis-pronouncing his name. He thought it was a bill I forgot about. Luckily he called me at work and asked if it was okay to pay. We are being harrassed by collection agencies for someone whose name is close to my husbands. Most of these companies wont even believe it is not us. I don't know who provides all these companies with their phone numbers, but there has to be something innocent people can do to have their phone number removed. I got home yesterday and of the 10 messages on my voicemail, 9 of them were for someone else!

2008-05-05 16:13:18 UTCKevin

I received a lot of unsolicited calls from this number. It's really annoying.

2008-04-22 03:14:56 UTCLouise

They keep calling but it is a recording asking for someone who doesn't live at this address and has never lived at this address. Just has the same last name. Recording actually says press 1 to give person time to come to the phone and press 3 if the person is not able to come to the phone. Stupidly, I pressed 3...not because the person is not able to come to the phone, though! Just no one here by that name!

2008-03-24 13:52:19 UTCdk

Arrow financial. They were calling for previous owner of this # (more than 1 yr ago). Woman was pleasant, said she'd remove my # immediately.

2008-03-21 15:05:06 UTCJulia

I had a past due balance with a cc company and settled with them. Then Arrow financial called about the same debt. I found out that both collection agencies are located in Chicago,IL. When I spoke to a Mr. Dancy and informed him that they had called on behalf of the same account he told me that he knew the lady that I had spoken with. Well at that point I wanted to know how she obtained my information, he then became defensive and started yelling at me then hung up. Five times I called back and the same thing, Finally, I got his supervisor and informed her of what I thought was going on. That Mr. Dancy had leaked out my information for a kickback. Maybe his buddy or girlfriend worked at Arrow Financial and they had a system set up. Mr. Dancy supervisor said she remembered him yelling on the phone and was going to deal with it. That didn't bother me as bad as a company I 've never heard of having my SS# and all my other info. So just to let ya'll know it was CITI card that Mr.Dancy worked at. That's just my theory of whats going on.......

2008-03-13 22:16:01 UTCWarsun

called me. As if im interested in anything. The answer regardless is going to be no.
The constant calls from people i dont know actually tie up my phone line. Im willing to be AT&T do that on purpose to keep people buying there secuity phone service packages.

Simply call them up and pay your bills you evil people, when you owe someone money ofcourse they are going to call you, wouldn't you call someone who owed you money?

Or if someone is calling you and it's the wrong # simply call and say so, unless the people calling you are a psychic hotline, then they will figure it out themselves.

Arrow Financial - collection agency

2007-11-06 22:41:15 UTCandrea

I received call from this number.....CID said "Illinois Call". No message.
If you can, shut the ringer OFF on your land line phone like I do. I work all day and do not want the phone ringing a zillion times a day, especially when the windows are open. I check the CID when I get home in the evening. TONS of calls from various numbers.....MOST DON'T LEAVE A MESSAGE, CID INDICATES "UNAVAILABLE", AND THEY KEEP CALLING BACK NUMEROUS TIME DURING THE DAY AND EVENING. I come to this site (SUPER SITE FOR INFO) to get info on who the numbers might belong to. If any of these callers leave a message (VERY RARE) I will call them back.

ANOTHER TIP.....IF YOU DO ANSWER THE CALL.....THE FIRST THING TO ASK IS ... "WHAT COUNTRY ARE YOU CALLING FROM?" WHEN THEY TELL ME "INDIA", "BARBADOS", "OVERSEAS", ETC, I IMMEDIATLEY TELL THEM.... "WE DO NOT ACCEPT CALLS FROM OUT OF THE UNITES STATES....PLEASE HAVE YOUR UNITED STATES EMPLOYER CALL AND WE WILL TAKE THE CALL." It totally pisses me off that people out of the country have jobs and those of us in the "US" are UNEMPLOYED or scrounging for a job that pays enough to live on !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HOPES THIS HELPS YOU. PASS THIS ON TO OTHERS THAT YOU KNOW.

2007-10-23 00:40:57 UTCChris

Arrow financial is a collection agency. They will keep calling and calling at all hours of the day and night. I currently am being pestered by them on an identity theft . Charges to my credit were made and arrow is trying o force me to pay on this. They are low life scum and I will have to go to court and counter sue them.

Too bad the Do Not Call registry is down tonight. Must be lots of people calling about Arrow. I don't have any loans or any debts so I have no idea why they would be calling me. Will complain to donotcall.gov when they come back up again.

2007-09-29 23:01:46 UTCRoger

Person specifically ask for my wife by name and he would not tell me the purpose of the call and wouldn't identify himself. I told him if he isn't one of the financial institutions I already work with that he shouldn't be calling my number which is registered on the national DNC and he just said "uh huh". He said he couldn't disclose any information when I asked again to identify himeself then I immediately hung up.

Jury Awards Consumer $100,000 in Case Against Collection Agency June 26th, 2007 | email this | digg itPosted by Litigious ConsumerPublished in Arrow FinancialOn May 4, 2007, a unanimous federal jury in Los Angeles, California ordered debt collector Arrow Financial Services to pay Laura Nelson $100,000.00 for a multi-year pattern of unfair debt collection and false credit reporting practices.

Following a three-day civil jury trial, a Los Angeles jury unanimously ordered debt collector Arrow Financial Services to pay Laura Nelson a total sum of $100,000.00 for false credit reporting and unfair debt collection practices. The jury awarded Ms. Nelson $85,000.00 for her emotional distress and mental anguish, and also added a $15,000.00 penalty against Arrow for its repeated violations of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.

They have been calling several times a day for the last three weeks. I finally picked up the phone today and they were looking for a lady who was the previous owner of this house. When I told them that she hasn't lived her for over 5 years he asked how my number was still associated with this address, as the practice of a new home owner keeping the same phone number as the previous home owner stopped in the 80's. In other words, he was accusing me of lying. I suspect they found my address online and my number was associated with the address. The number has NEVER been associated with the previous home owner who they were looking for. Idiots.

2007-09-22 14:39:48 UTCLiveLady.com

2007-08-31 23:27:04 UTCLtDarkstar

What some dumb douches.. they called our number with an automated "Please hold a represenative will be right with you" recorded message... after 5 minutes of this garbage I hung up and they're system called us back immediately. So, I intended to give these asshats and EARFULL, instead I waited on them for another 15 minutes and they're own lame ass system hung up on me. When these douchenozzels call back I plan to tell them to go to HELL where they belong.

I get several calls from this number- I think they are looking for the people who previously had this number. When I called back, I got a guy named Thomas who denied making the call.

2007-08-20 17:24:52 UTCGlenn

I normally don't answer the phone if I don't recognize the number on caller id, and I've gotten several calls from this number this morning. They never leave a message on my answering machine. If it's so important why don't they leave a message?

2007-08-16 23:50:02 UTCTaylor

Some one from this number keeps calling and asking for Joanne who seems to be popular. I keep telling them that no on by that name is here and they keep calling. I really wish they would stop. They are messing up my peak minutes.

2007-07-24 19:46:28 UTCR

They have called a lot. Phone lists Illinois call.
Call 1-800-896-2743 and give them your phone number. They were able to verify the name that they were seeking and then I was able to give birthday, day of month only, and she was able to verify that we weren't who they were looking for. I believe they will remove my number from their search.
After that, she was really nice. I used to work for a company that purchased old deb like they apparently do, but once the agreed upon portion of the debt was paid, they were able to report the bill as paid/settled on the credit report.

2007-07-12 18:37:15 UTCJess

They called over and over again for months...i finally answered and the man was very rude. He wouldn't tell me why he was calling, but he repeatedly asked for my social security # and birth date. I refused to give it to him and hung up. After going to this website I called the 800 number and a representative told me that they were looking for someone else. I think something needs to be done about this. I hope I don't get anymore calls.

2007-06-30 19:09:44 UTCTeresa

They called me two times on my cell. They never answer, just hang up. emailed to remove me from their list. Called them spoke to customer service, looking for someone else. Hope this is the end.

2007-06-27 15:05:51 UTCDrea

This company has called my number everyday, multiple times a day, at all hours, for the past week. If the caller I.D. does not show a person's NAME, I don't pick up. They never leave a message, so I just ignore the calls.

2007-06-19 19:15:38 UTCMary

They keep calling!!! When I answer no one there. If they are a collection agency they are calling the wrong number. There should be some way to stop this!

2007-06-19 16:44:44 UTCSOS

I am unfortunately been assigned a new cell phone number that formally was used by someone Arrow is looking for. I have explained the fact that I am not who they are looking for but they tell me they will correct the records and they call back in 10minutes with a new person. Repeated attempts to correct this has been ignored.I have resorted to ignoring the call. This is difficult when I am in a social setting so I have resorted to setting my phone to vibrate only. I don't expect that it will end until I change my phone number.

2007-06-18 15:15:25 UTCAnn

They called my fax line.

2007-06-13 20:13:26 UTCCindy

I called the 18008962743 after recieving a message for someone I had never heard of before. I explained to Mark at Arrow Financial that the phone number was incorrect. He immediately removed my telephone number from his list. The entire phone call took less than five minutes.

2007-06-04 17:27:16 UTCKat

I answered the call and they asked to speak to another person in the house saying just "Danielle from Arrow Financial Services". The person they asked to speak with has excellent credit and we are on the national Do Not Call list. They asked to "verify his social security number" and said it was a confidential matter and refused to state the reason why they needed it unless he told them his social.

They are badgering about a bogus account not even in my name.

2007-05-30 22:02:23 UTCJoe M.

I got one of those calls except I didn't answer it. I never answer calls I don't recognize. Doesnt matter to me because if I owe them something I will just drop a bankruptcy on them.

Federal Jury in Los Angeles Orders Debt Collector ARROW FINANCIAL SERVICES to Pay Consumer $100,000.00 for Unfair Debt Collection and False Credit Reporting!

On May 4, 2007, a unanimous federal jury in Los Angeles, California ordered debt collector ARROW FINANCIAL SERVICES to pay Laura Nelson $100,000.00 for a multi-year pattern of unfair debt collection and false credit reporting practices. Laura Nelson v. Arrow Financial Services, LLC, United States District Court Case No. CV06-1568 RGK (PLAx).

2007-04-30 21:05:27 UTCDick

Third time they have called me. Asked who I was. I asked who they were, twice. Said Mark. Then this is a business. I just hung up.

2007-04-30 15:37:27 UTCsara

REAL lawyers such as the consumer law professionals from the National Association of Consumer Advocates naca.net can assist you in going after Arrow Financial to protect your rights. Furthermore, Arrow’s bogus court filings can be challenged y NACA professionals.

Consumers MUST understand that any pleadings by a bottom feeder AFTER they have purchased a defaulted account are hearsay and not admissible in court proceedings. Arrow employees will lie on affidavits and pleadings with statements they could never have any knowledge of. These lies and bogus filings should be challenged at every chance, they will never hold up. Consumers are encouraged to have their attorneys go after Arrow employees, make them testify to the truthfulness of their statements, watch them run, watch the cases be dismissed. See how many Arrow employees will NOT commit perjury for their employer. This is an excellent way to stop these phony pleadings and filings.

On your credit reports, challenge any and every entry placed on a credit bureau report by Arrow. In order to go after them and the credit bureaus, you MUST first challenge their reporting. That will take away their defense when you file legal actions for violating the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Arrow makes a LOT of money, you are entitled to some of it under federal law when they violate the law and your rights. The more lawsuits filed against Arrow, the better. Always use the REAL consumer law professionals from naca.net. Tell them Bud Hibbs sent you.

2007-04-30 15:36:24 UTCsara

Why does Arrow have such a TERRIBLE reputation?

Arrow buys old debts for almost nothing, then goes after unsuspecting consumers with the usual threats of litigation, seizure, garnishment, etc. They have been know to illegally change information on credit reports (dates of last activity) make false statements on court cases and the other entire debt collector B.S. you hear and deal with on a daily basis.

Why would an organization like Arrow consistently involve themselves in illegal activity? Because it is a BIG money maker. Bottom feeders such as Arrow have the mentality that no matter what the circumstances were in acquiring debts, that they are entitled to a return on their investment. Nothing could be further from the truth.

The laws governing debt collection and credit bureau reporting are explicit in what entities like Arrow can do. Changing the dates of last activity on a credit bureau report, (something that Arrow regularly engages in) is illegal and consumers can take actions against Arrow and the credit bureaus that allow it.

2007-04-30 15:34:26 UTCSpike

ONE OF AMERICA'S SLEAZIEST COLLECTION AGENCYS!

When I use the term "LEGALIZED RACKETEERING" to describe a debt collection agency, it is Arrow. They are the bottom of the bottom when it comes to filth, garbage, con men, liars, extortion, and illegal collection practices.

This group of lowlife's slip to a level unheard of before, in their quest to steal money from unsuspecting consumers.

Jack Lavin is CEO, President, and responsible for this organization of misfits and sleaze. He is the muscle behind this corrupt band of misfits and bottom feeders that routinely and illegally change dates of last activity on credit reports, file lawsuits on time barred debts, manufacture bogus documents for court filings.

STAY AWAY FROM THESE DIRTBAGS, give them NO INFORMATION!

2007-04-26 23:04:40 UTCDick

Phone rang twice. I answered. No one there. Looked the number up on your website. Said Arrow Financial. They had called my number once before. My granddaughter had some credit problems over eight years ago and I think Arrow Financial has called my number to get to her. I have no contact with her and haven't had any for many years. They need to update their records. Don't plan on talking to them as from your info they seem very rude and unprofessional. I can't help them out and probably wounldn't anyway.

2007-04-24 21:25:39 UTCZachary Kolp

They've been calling for nearly a year. They said they have removed me from their database but they keep calling!

The person they are looking for is not me!

2007-04-20 15:42:12 UTCcathy

I have been getting calls from this number and they hang up and it is listed as a missed call on my phone. I had called back this number 2 months ago to complain--I do not know them and they do not know me and say they have no record of my being called but now I am starting to get these calls again so I have reported to the DO NOT CALL complaint line

2007-04-19 03:45:57 UTCMelissa

They called everyday 2 or 3x a day for a week. Usually very early in the morning when we were still sleeping. They always left messages asking for someone I've never heard of. Finally I answered today and told them they had the wrong number. I hope they don't call back.

2007-04-10 20:15:53 UTCKyla

This number has called me for one week. They have been calling twice an hour for a week. I have been trying to get a hold of someone to get off the calling list, but I get no one. I am just glad that I am not the only one who has had this number bug them like it has me.

2007-04-10 11:52:19 UTCstched

The caller is Arrow Finacial Services. They are one of the debt collection agencies that skirts the grey area of legal harassment to attempt to collect debts. They call at least once or twice a day and the phone will only ring once or twice, and the line disconnects before I can answer. I did finally speak to a live person, and she explained that their software was programmed to call numbers in the system daily.

2007-04-02 19:08:06 UTCDawn

14 times today ... and not one time was there a live person on the line! They have called around 60 times in the last week with the same results! I don't even owe them a DIME!! :(

2007-04-01 01:47:50 UTCRoland

Arrow Financial called
probably collecting on who knows what?

2007-03-30 04:15:46 UTCMary

Call is from Illinois no company name

2007-02-28 11:14:40 UTCFred

I wish they would just stop calling, it is annoying. I never answer it but they call like 5-6 times a day

2007-02-27 23:21:32 UTCAnthony

Getting phone calls from automated machine. When I tried to call # back it was busy. Found out it's Arrow Financial. Called 18008962743 and they told me they were looking for someone else and took me off the list.

2007-02-22 11:00:36 UTCDenise f

THey have left message after message plus called me for 3 hours every 20 minutes... I have no idea who these people are but I wish they would leave me alone

2007-02-19 12:04:59 UTCMireille

They called me on my cell phone wanting me to give them my personal information, When I wanted to know what company and what they wanted she hung up on me, very rude. I am on the no call list on both my home phone and cell phone. ....

2007-02-15 16:35:33 UTCIllinois Call

Calls 15x per day asking for someone i've never heard of

2007-02-14 23:32:43 UTCChristopher

I am an attorney in Portland, Oregon. I received a call from Dorothy on my unlisted cell phone. I am investigating a possible class action against telemarketers and their customers for violations of 47 USC 227, which provides for a private cause of action for injunctive relief and a statutory minimum penalty of $500 per violation. If anyone has verifiable information on the idenity of the telemarketer(s) and their customer(s) please contact our firm by going to slaterross.com

2007-02-14 13:51:23 UTCLindsay

These people will call you and then hang up when you answer. They call multiple times in one day, and then monitor your call when they do answer they have the worng person's phone number. They even called me during class, I answered and I told her she called me multiple times yesterday and today, that I wasn't who she was looking for, and to stop calling b/c i was having the number blocjed on my phone. The lady again asked for the person I told her I din't know, and she said I'll try again later. Stupid Foreigners!!!

2007-02-08 20:56:50 UTCSam

I got a call from this number today and the guy asked for my personal information like my date of birth. Is there a place we can report these guys?

2007-02-07 09:46:13 UTCKj

I got that FUCKING call and it startled my sleep. Even startled my dying husband! I'm going to rip their balls and I am going to their business, do something toward them.

2007-01-31 12:28:18 UTCGeraldine

voice mail message was left looking for a Katherine something...i was told that if i wasn't katherine, yet continued to listen to the message I was acknoledging that I was indeed Katherin...bogus!

2007-01-10 16:24:55 UTCKate

The keep calling, but do not leave a message. The Caller I.D. states "Illinois Call"

2006-12-29 16:57:05 UTCNike

They keep calling, Caller ID states: UNKNOWN Name. Since I don't have voicemail anymore there are no messages. If they are a debt collect in my state they are required to identify themselves. According to BBB they have had their licenses to operate yanked in multiple states.

2006-12-18 07:01:01 UTCJean

most the time is unkown caller from illinois. our problem is there is another in this town with our name, have verified several time it is not us but the same guy kept clling back. got mad and yelled so then they hd a different person call. told this person it was the wrong one, that they verifed several times, that it was iligal to harass like this, they said we shouldnt be running our bills up all over town and running out on them. i calle dthe number back and asked for a supervisor, he 'says' he listed it as a bad number, but with it being the same name i don't think it will be the end of it.

2006-12-15 23:25:25 UTCEddie

Keep calling and not leaving any message , they call all hours of the night and day, the last call was at 12:28 am and when it was answered they hung up.

2006-12-14 03:35:49 UTCBernadette

When I answered the phone, all I got was a recording saying, "Please stay on the line and your call will be answered shortly. Be aware that this call may be recorded or monitored."

It makes me nuts to have someone call me and put me on hold.

2006-12-01 17:58:45 UTCAddy

They have been calling me for the past 2 months, but they never leave a message so i finally called them back and sure enough they where looking for someone else, i told them to take my number off their system and the operator was kind enough to do so. These people should get their records right but on the other hand you have to balme the person who ever pulled our numbers and used it for whatever they wanted to buy or some crap cause its a finance company.

2006-11-28 17:49:48 UTCang

They call several times each day, and never leave a message. At this point, I am having some financial problems, but if they think making my phone ring off the hook will make me want to talk to them, ha. Thank goodness for manner/vibrate mode on the cell phones.

2006-11-15 20:24:38 UTCCmeeNow

Well here is what I did and I have to say its been the best investment I've ever made ...sunrocket.com....or use any VOIP service like vonage or even road runner so that you can block unwanted calls from even ringing the phone period!
I kept my land line and forwared it to my sunrocket number and have blocked all the unwanted calls =)

2006-11-15 19:54:32 UTChector

they'v called me before looking for a person who doesn't live here. Naturally i don't bother picking up anymore.

2006-10-29 18:20:14 UTCMatt

I've been getting a daily voicemail from these idiots for nearly a month. One of the few times I was home, I answered and the message said to press "0" to speak to an operator. Of course, nothing happens when you press 0. I left the phone off the hook and the message kept repeating itself for over 4 hours (when I eventually got bored and hung up).

The pre-recorded message never says what it is for, nor who they wish to contact. Arrow Financial called my number over a year ago looking for someone I've never heard of. I'm assuming this is a repeat of the same nonsense.

There should be a law against calling with pre-recorded messages without even saying what you are looking for!!!

2006-10-25 12:23:40 UTCjols

I love this website. I called the 800 number mentioned in Jon's comments (800.896.2743), followed his example by being nice and a nice lady informed me who they were looking for. I told her it wasn't me and she promptly removed my number from her list. I hope that's the end of it!

2006-10-24 16:35:09 UTCbj

When I answer the phone, they hang up.

They have called at least six times. They rush through their message, but do not leave their company name. They leave phone number and ext. number to call back at. I have taken the call on 3 occasssions now and asked who is calling. Dorothy...
What is the name of your company, Arrow Financial. I asked what is it regarding - a business matter. I said we are not interested. Dorothy said, "what do you mean you are not interested...."
Today, as we repeated the above scenerio, I told her to remove me from her calling list - she was rambling on when I hung up.

This Arrow is on the Top 10 Scum Collectors. Check out Bud Hibbs. This guy knows the scum-sucking collection biz. Most numbers you see that say unavailable, or caller unknown are more than likely collection agencies. They know debtors will not answer their phone if they know who is calling.

They also know the psychology of the human psyche and when you are bugged at al times of the day it either makes you say "I know that's a collector and you allow them to 'hound' you and remind you that you owe money and 2) creates a mystery to where you just may answer to find out who it is!

Course, that's when you loose because once you answer--they know they have a live-right number and the time you answered.

If you read Buds site by the way he shows you legitimately how to get rid of these scum--LEGALLY. I've used it. It costs nothing and most importantly--THEY STOP CALLING AND MAILING YOU!!!

2006-09-05 23:23:49 UTCMichael S.

They keep calling me even though the card they're calling on has been discontinued/voided out.
They do indeed seem to be a debt collection agency.

2006-09-04 04:53:56 UTCJan

This is a debt collector. They're extremely rude, and don't seem to understand simple english... such as "I have no contact with my x, nor any phone number for you to contact him." After I told him not to call again, he said he would call again tomorrow! Like I'm going to have contact all of a sudden tomorrow? Get real!!Then he kept trying to give me his number, so I could call my x and have him call them. I told him... I have no contact with him, and no of no phone number by which to contact him. The guy was horribly rude and I finally had to get nasty with him and told him NOT to call this number again. So far, so good, but I'm sure in another week or so they'll start up again.

2006-09-01 18:52:28 UTCJon

They have called me every day, 2-3 times a day, for 3 weeks on my cell. I called the main number of Arrow Financial and was unable to get through. When I finally did, they said they were closed due to technical errors the Friday before Labor Day. I then called 1-800-896-2743, nicely told the women my problem, and she connected me to someone who asked the number that was being called, asked my name, and said they were looking for someone else, and removed my name. The company is a debt collection service, and uses any old numbers to track people down. Call them back to be sure, because if you are victim of identity theft, and someone is using your name and number and not paying the bills, this might be the first time you hear about it. P.S. My number was on the National Do Not Call List, so I did report them for the continued calls.

2006-08-30 19:47:36 UTCChartles

They have called my privet cell, and home # and no one speaks.
So I hang up .
It's going on for just about a year now so I don't answer. And they leave no message.

2006-08-30 19:17:43 UTCRich

These people have been calling . Arrow Financial is what google says. Called Aug 29 and Aug 30-very annoying

2006-08-29 20:15:44 UTCkelly

Called and left message to call them back. We returned their call and they were very rude. I told them we were on the Do Not Call List and would be reporting them. They were looking for someone else. Would not give me any information as to the nature of thier business or anything Very very rude.

2006-08-29 20:15:20 UTCkelly

Called and left message to call them back. We returned their call and they were very rude. I told them we were on the Do Not Call List and would be reporting them. They were looking for someone else.

2006-08-08 17:28:20 UTCjanie

The name of this company is Arrow Finacial Services. I called them. They were looking for someone else and simply removed my number from their database. I suspect they're a debt collector.

2006-07-21 03:01:46 UTCMona

They actually called me three times. They keep on asking for someone who doesn't live here. I don't know how to stop them.

How do I stop them from calling?

  1. Ask the unwanted caller to stop calling and put you on their do not call list (they are legally required to comply).
  2. If your number is registered with the National Do Not Call Registry you can file a complaint with the FTC.
  3. Block them with a call blocker:
