How ridiculous do you sound??? Good people fall on hard times without warning and not due to any fault of their own sometimes. How can you write that statement. If a bill collector called and professionally spoke to you, this would be a non-issue. However, they DO NOT speak to you in a professional manner. Instead they barade and disrespect you and I don't know many people who will accept that type of behavior from anyone. I agree with this. Why do people buy other debts and expect to collect on them. The ones who are truly owed the debt should be the ones going after people, I don't have a past due bill of any kind!
These a**holes called me looking for someone in my neighborhood. We are a business, and I flatly asked after a while "So, you're randomly calling and harassing businesses in the area of this person you're looking for to collect a debt?!", and he replied yes and hung up.Hey um SUSAN! People's financial circumstances change, but their debt does not, apart from going up and up and up from bogus interest and 'service' fees. You, Susan, are obviously a product of the Public Education System, taught to take orders, fill in forms and punch the clock without question or problem solving skills. You must pay EVERY nickel of your taxes, too, without even TRYING to find a deduction or two. Again, peoples circumstances change due to factors beyond their control, but their debt stays the same, or, more likely, continues to go up even though they haven't bought anything more than their original purchases. Do a little logical thinking sweetheart [can I call you sweetheart?] and stop blaming & defaming ordinary folks who cant help their circumstances. Can you say 'LOGICAL FALACY'? Shame on you-

I have a better idea. Use SKYPE to call them back, at the same # they call you, 20-30 times a day. When you'll dial from your comp using SKYPE, it'll show the word "unavailable" .Then you can tell them what you thinking about them and all the "proper" words they deserve for bugging you for so long !!!These people are harrassing me as well for my step mother who lives in a completely different state. The guy was extremely rude and said, "If your step mother would start acting like an adult and call us back then we wouldn't have to call you." She is in her 60's. I told them that they were rude and no wonder she doesn't call you back. He was threatening to call an attorney I told him to go ahead. I asked him if he liked being called at home at 9:00 at night, and he said no. So I told him to stop calling me. I don't even have any business with them.Did any of you ever think that these collectors are simply doing their jobs? Some of you truly owe a past-due bill, so deal with it. Stop looking for a way out and own up to your obligations. I am sick and tired of hearing how bad bill collectors are because they are asking people to simply pay the debts that they originally signed up for. This is why some of you are debtors...you could be spending this time on making some money to get yourselves out of the mess you created. Instead you hang out on the internt and bash companies because they had the "nerve" to try to collect a bill that you racked up in the first place!
For those of you who don't owe anything and the calls were made in error..

Use the call forwarding feature on your phone - and forward the calls to a telephone number that you know is disconnected. They will stop calling because the computer they are using to dial the number will recognize the tone.
This works for all of these types of calls.
NEVER EVER ADMIT A DEBT TO A COLLECTION AGENCY THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR VALIDATING YOU ARE THE CORRECT PERSON THAT OWES THE DEBT. The worst agencies and scammers will refuse to do debt validation.Why do you even waste your time answering these creeps. I let all of my phone calls go to the answering machine. I also have caller i d and if it is not someone I know personally I let them talk to the machine. Wise up people. We get calls for someone that hasn't had thhis phone number for over 20 years. When you complain or deny you get more calls. You need to stop calling them back. They are a debt collector who will do anything to get your personal information. Every time you call them, your number is displayed and they will keep hounding you as someone they believe owes a creditor money. Simply refuse the call. Let it go to voicemail. Hang up on them. Do not continue to have any communication with them.
Eventually, you can unforward them because they will have stopped calling.

Practically the same thing has happened to me. They've been calling my cell phone for these past 3 days. And I'm under 18... They keep asking me if they could speak to a person who's name I did not recognize. That one woman who called you... May be the same woman who called me. She asked to speak at an adult who owns the house & saying that that person who I could not recognize lives here.... This woman happened to call on a private number but a second number appeared on my cell phone, asking for that same person. My ex-father-in-law is receiving these call. I did have an outstanding bill and have spoke to them about it. I asked to please mail me the bill so I could take care of it. I was told I had to make a payment right then and there and that would not mail me anything. They also told me that the interest was 50% of what the original bill was and the payment they wanted only $4 of it would go towards the bill! Problem is I had moved and put in a change of address to the company I had the bill with. It was a 6 mo same as cash thing and then after the six mo period when the bill was returned to them, because they say they never got a change of address (which I went in the store in person to do...big mistake I guess) they sold the bill to this place. Anyway.........my father-in-law is 87 yrs old and not in good health. They continually harrass him. I just don't know how to get it to stop. They are very nasty and rude and mean on the phone, not to him, but when I have spoke to them. If they would only send me the bill stating the amount, so we could work this out that woould be nice. But I will be damned if I am just gonna make a payment over the phone to who knows who! AND....the interest keeps going up, way up every month.
Well to say the least I am totally upset on what and how to handle this situation. I want to pay back what I did originally owe and if there is to be interest at a reasonable rate. Otherwise, it looks like these people are just not going to get a dime from me. I am not a bad person and being treated like this is terrible. Any suggestions anyone? Thank you in advance..

Well, this guy called my cell asking for my daughter, but he did not know this. I told him this is now my cell and he harassed me asking if I know her or knew where she was. I told him if he told me what it was about and he said it was private so I told him if I know where she was, it was also private and not to call me again... Within seconds he called my office... I told him to remove both numbers and he hung up with a smart a** remark... Problem is he will not tell you where he is calling from so you cannot get an address....
Good luck to all!!!calling your friends and neighbors are illegal. Also, if they call you at work, tell them DON'T call at work and send them a certified letter stating that. It is not only illegal, but if they are crossing state lines with their calls it is a federal law. Also, if you tell them not to call you at work and they continue to do so, that is illegal. Oh many problems with Michael Bell.I must have talked to this Bell guy. I asked him if he was awake yet as he sounded like he either just got up or had a hangover. He asked me if I drank to much coffee this morning. I told him to Fxxx Oxxxxf and hung up. They are calling my 11 year olds phone from a former customer that had that number. They just don't get it.

Yes, Heather, it is legal. It is called "skip-tracing". They cannot call you more than once though. The purpose of their call is to verify that the person they are trying to reach still lives at the address they have on file. They have probably tried calling this person multiple times and have had no luck. I would suggest if they call again, that you tell them you know they are only allowed one phone call to you and if they persist in these annoying phone calls; you will call an attorney and sue them for harassment. Keep in mind, you don't have to actually call an attorney but you can always threaten it! They use idle threats all the time so you may as well throw it back at them. HAHAHA! Good luck. I hope this info has helped you somewhat.Someone from this company called my father today, looking for me. He asked them how they got his number and the person told him they can pull up phone numbers by address and since his phone number is listed on my address they called him.

You are wrong. They can do alot more. You do have a point on having a right to send them a Cease & Decist letter. They can call your neighbor, family members etc; they do not have a right to disclose though. Trust me, i did collections for a living for a few years.You are wrong. They can do alot more.

Trust me, i did collections for a living for a few years.But if they mention who they are people will know it is regarding a debt. It is illegal. If they cross state lines it is even more illegal and they can be arrested. I had to deal with Micheal Bell regarding a debt of my daughter's that I knew nothing about. He kept calling me at work and he would yell and swear. He should be fired. I was never so humilated in my life. He got ahold of my daughter at her job and made her cry. Calling at work is an illegal practice too
You have a right to stop the calls. Tell your neighbor a lie (that you are a victim of identity theft and refuse to pay the bill; tell your neighbor to tell the bill collectors NEVER to call you again) that way they never call your neighbor again.
