You all need to pay close attention to what Caribear reported a year ago, specifically what she did to throw these biting monkeys off her back when they wanted to nip total strangers to her. Any of you seeing my handle on this site know I consistently promote the use of a cease-comm letter, sent via USPS Certified with return card. She was kind enough to give NCO one last chance for redemption after its bot dialers continued to call in violation of her orders, but of course she and NCO knew full well such mercy was not required. Forever more, NCO must pay an ''admission fee'' of one cool grand to call Cari again, plus her legal fees, plus any actual damages, plus any applicable state fine, et cetera ... should she make good on her lawsuit threat.

You simply will not get that level of satisfaction from blasting whistles or air horns, prank return calls, and other obnoxious behavior which makes you no better than the lawbreaking collections hounds. Such childish responses are not valid countermeasures before a court, either. They may in fact draw special attention to your case and accelerate the path to a punishing lawsuit.

Collections is a meat grinder business when conducted by the likes of NCO, which will essentially throw your whole case into autopilot under the (usually correct) assumption that people will not properly enforce their rights. Large volume collectors have computers poised to hassle people by the hundred each minute from many, many numbers. What do you have, one or two ordinary phones with distinct numbers and no commercial service plan with ANI? This is why lazy reliance on verbal demands so often fails.

Yes, Dan, on a holiday, with one 'L', really. If you wanted to hose people whom you assume to be lowlife lazy debtors who do nothing all day but plot new ways to ''avoid responsibility'', you as well would call them on their presumed days off, gleefully interrupting backyard family gatherings to needle and pester them all until enough of them open their wallets just to make the robots quit calling and meet the income targets your boss wanted by month's end. Besides, nothing in federal law says they can't call on a bank holiday or any other day. Possibly your state law says different.

On a holliday really?

Just an update: After my last encounter with them, I have had no phone calls. The cease and desist letter seems to have worked. Now my phone is blissfully silent...

Got another call from them today. This time they left a recording that was already in process when the machine picked up "...press 3 now. If this is the wrong number to reach (name), please press four now. (Pause) I did not hear your response. If this is (name), please press 1 now. To place this call on hold and get the right person, press 2 now. To take a message press 3 now. If this is the wrong number to reach (name), press 4 now. (pause) I did not hear your response. Goodbye."
This name is one I haven't gotten calls for in about three years. I called them back and informed them that they had already received a cease and desist letter from me, and that again I did not know who this person was. The lady got snippy and said the call was being recorded for "Quality and compliance purposes." I told her that was fine, please record me telling you that if i get any more calls from you I WILL sue. Now I eagerly await their next call.

I get at least two calls from NCO a day. They have my number in connection with about five people, some of whom I know but have never lived here, the rest of whom I don't know. I have told them this on various occasions. I'm getting fed up with them and am going to send a cease-and-desist letter as soon as I find a good lawyer. It is especially annoying since I have a home business and I have to keep my ringer off because I can't have them disturbing my clients.

Call constantly looking for someone we have never heard of.

Don't say anything--it's a recording wanting you to call back.

They just called and let the phone ring 27 times before I picked it up. I played Aerosmith's "Dream On" for them. Very loudly, into the telephone. It made me feel so much better. It's the third time they have called in the last hour, so I had to do something.

This firm calls an average of once a day not stating whom they are wanting to speak with or the nature of their call. If you
can't give this data then you have no reason to continue harrassing us. They repeat the same spill over and over, so who are
you, whom do you want and the nature of your call is??????????? We don't answer/reply to numbers that we don't know.....ever!

Not only do they try to call on several different numbers, since we don't answer or return calls left on the answering machine, they now are calling with no number showing up and only "Out of Area" displayed with no phone number. I don't answer any calls that don't identify who they are. Our credit ratings are good, we have no outstanding debts. So why are they calling? Answering machine when it picks up says something like "We are a debt collection company and are required by law to tell you that. Please call us at ... "

12/4/08 These guys are persistent. I don't answer any # I don't know. They have called from at least 4 of their other numbers and have been doing this for about 4 or 5 weeks now.

We have gotten DAILY calls from this phone number, sometimes multiple times per day. They NEVER say anything on our answering machine and when we DO pick up, all we get is a recording asking us to please hold. I have no business with these people. I only deal with ORIGINAL creditors, and not credit collection agencies which only buy old debts to try to collect on it..thats how these people make their money. Well these daily, and often multiple daily calls are harassment. Who do I report these harassing calls to??
