Just got a call from them and they claimed they were something USA, I couldn't make out the first part of it. They're out of Houston and they claim I have an unsettled debt which I have paid off many times. I told him "If you send me the paper work I'd be happy to settle the debt." He tells me he's a collection agency and he can't send me paperwork. I told him "No, I've gotten paper work from other collection agencies, and we've paid this bill off according to that paperwork. I know how it works, they sell the debt to collection agencies who sell it to other agencies and you end up paying multiple times for the same debt. Each time, though, I've gotten paper documents." He continued to tell me he couldn't give me paper documents and I told him, "No, you can. If you can't give me paper documents you're not for real and I'm not paying it." He tries to interrupt me multiple times as I'm explaining this and says I'm talking over him when he's trying to talk over me, so I told him I wasn't going to pay and I hung up.

Quite certain I'll be repeating what was said by others. They call, have you call back, they know it isn't you, but request your number....guess they don't know who they have called. Its annoying, inconsiderated and should be illegal.

Followup: I suggest calling the person you owed the debt to originally. They can tell you who they sold the debt to so you can make sure you're paying the right people.

Called me at work (a Maximum Security Prison) to pester me for my ex-wifes bill. Jeff Ford 832-476-1739, I should cuff his [***] up and send him to the "hole"

Ms. Garner, Ms. Keplinger: Your callers do not maintain this site or this web page. Your callers cannot magically determine which numbers should not be called based on anonymous comments. You will not get compliance with your orders until you deliver them *directly* to your caller. It is unwise to publish a phone number you meant to protect in an open forum where any data harvester and scammer can find it.

stop calling my number.the person you are asking for does not live here

"... make sure you're paying the right people.""The right people" are long gone from the scene by the time an aged debt is sold to a junk debt buyer. The original creditor has soaked you for all it ever hopes to get and claimed the full face amount of that debt as a loss besides. "debt which I have paid off many times"No wonder you keep getting JDB calls. They know what a pigeon you are, willing to pay the SAME ACCOUNT over and over while never once questioning that you even owed once! Good Gravy! Guess what, a debt in the hands of a JDB means pure profit. NO ONE benefits from your payment except for grade school dropouts earning commissions and their bosses who are living in McMansions off YOUR BACK. You only "end up paying multiple times for the same debt" if you ALLOW that to happen! You don't want mere "paperwork", which could be some flimsy sheet saying "Youse owes dis moneys" .... You want proof of your liability from the original creditor, proof that the debt buyer really owns the account, proof that the collector is licensed and/or bonded, and much more that the typical junk debt collector cannot provide. Stop reaching into your purse and start raising disputes when these vultures come calling.

I have been getting alot of calls from this #!

I answered the phone and this guy named Mr. Parhan asked for someone with my same last name. I told him that he had the wrong number. I asked him not to call here, and he told me that he would call me every day. He asked me if I knew the person? I avoided answering the question. He then asked me if I understood english. He then asked me if I was the person. I told him once again to not call me. He told me once again that he would call every day. I then asked him if he spoke english. I then went on to say F/U a** hole. I was too angry to contince talking. I then called the number back and spoke to someone else and she said that he had removed my number.

That is right, Kim. Go for it, and report to everybody that you can. We both are sailing in the same boat. This is supposed to be the Government's job to protect citizens from going through the pain like this, and hold Avante accountable.
