With me they would call i would answer and they would hang up. They did this 2 times a day every day.I finaly called them back and a message said: this is an atempt to collect a debt. By you calling this number you confirm you are the owner of the debt and the number you called from belongs to the owner of the debt. WTH!!!!! dam idiots.

I registered everyone of our phone numbers both land lines as well as our cell numbers. I did get a call from this number earlier today. There was a voice that left a message as it showed on caller ID as not provided and the person or voice spoke so fast I was not able to understood what was said. I didn't return the call. But what good does the do not call list do if folks still get sales calls, etc. what good did it do to take the time to register our numbers. I am on total disability because of 4 major health problems since 1998. Why are they calling me period? I do not need nor want the stress or kids games but that national do not call list has never worked on any phone we own.I thought that the first time I had set our numbers on on that program I might not have done something correct. So I redid every one we own. That was a complete waste of both time and energy to do the list. And yes we have gone to the expense of a cell phone as my husband is a truck driver, Thank God within 25 miles of me at all times. I stay alone as we can not afford for someone to be here with me. If I need help I need to be able to get my husband asap. He knows all the answers that an ER or ambulance driver might need until he can get to me.Our phones are not for stupid games of this kind. Answering an unknown phone number could be dangerous if it should happen at a time I need help. I hate idiots and these people fit this discription completely.

Caller ID says "Toll Free". We never answer these calls. But they call a *LOT* and it's really annoying, especially since I'm up nights & sleep into the morning!

numerous calls regarding a bill that was already paid for.

I rec'd a call from this # and they left a message saying this call is for ______, if you are not_________. Please do not listen to this message. Then proceeded to say why they were calling. I don't understand why they think someone would hang up. If you tell me do not listen, I'm going to listen!! The woman who left the message spoke so fast I could barely understand. I did manage to get that they were a debt collector and the phone #, so I called. It was a legitimate debt that I owed and they asked that I pay it today. I told them no I was not able to do that. They told me they were prepared to discount my bill if I gave them a payment source to hold until a future date, which I agreed to. They discounted my bill almost 50%. The payment was taken from my credit card on the date agreed and it's done. Just an fyi... being on a "do not call" list does not mean debt collectors cannot call you. It's only for solicitors.

They also called my cell phone with a message for someone else...and said to hang up if i wasn't that person. It's happened multiple times. I figured they just had the wrong number, weird.

They called a friend´s house in my case and asked if I was still living abroad (which I am). I am definitely looking into who they are "Balanced Healthcare"? and get them to stop. But FOR ANYONE ELSE WHO IS READING THIS - debt collectors ARE SUBJECT TO clear rules as far as what they can do vis a vis supposed debtors. And some of the messages I´ve read above fall within the prohibited conduct. I know this because as a claim handler for an insurance company, I was involved in numerous lawsuits where collectors were alleged to have violated (and in some cases did) federal laws. There may be some hungry lawyers out there who will look into it for you - provided that their fees are paid out of any settlements. Don´t let them get away with harrassing you!

From BBB in Concord NH"Industry TipsDebt CollectionIf you use credit cards, owe money on a personal loan, or are paying on a home mortgage, you are a "debtor." If you fall behind in repaying your creditors, or an error is made on your accounts, you may be contacted by a "debt collector."You should know that in either situation, the FTC Fair Debt Collection Practices Act requires that debt collectors treat you fairly and prohibits certain methods of debt collection. Of course, the law does not erase any legitimate debt you owe.The following information is designed to answer commonly asked questions about your rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.What debts are covered?Personal, family, and household debts are covered under the Act. This includes money owed for the purchase of an automobile, for medical care, or for charge accounts.Who is a debt collector?A debt collector is any person who regularly collects debts owed to others. This includes attorneys who collect debts on a regular basis.How may a debt collector contact you?A collector may contact you in person, by mail, telephone, telegram, or fax. However, a debt collector may not contact you at inconvenient times or places, such as before 8 a.m. or after 9 p.m., unless you agree. A debt collector also may not contact you at work if the collector knows that your employer disapproves of such contacts.Can you stop a debt collector from contacting you?You can stop a debt collector from contacting you by writing a letter to the collector telling them to stop. Once the collector receives your letter, they may not contact you again except to say there will be no further contact or to notify you that the debt collector or the creditor intends to take some specific action. Please note, however, that sending such a letter to a collector does not make the debt go away if you actually owe it. You could still be sued by the debt collector or your original creditor.May a debt collector contact anyone else about your debt?If you have an attorney, the debt collector must contact the attorney, rather than you. If you do not have an attorney, a collector may contact other people, but only to find out where you live, what your phone number is, and where you work. Collectors usually are prohibited from contacting such third parties more than once. In most cases, the collector may not tell anyone other than you and your attorney that you owe money.What must the debt collector tell you about the debt? Within five days after you are first contacted, the collector must send you a written notice telling you the amount of money you owe; the name of the creditor to whom you owe the money; and what action to take if you believe you do not owe the money.May a debt collector continue to contact you if you believe you do not owe money?A collector may not contact you if, within 30 days after you receive the written notice, you send the collection agency a letter stating you do not owe money. However, a collector can renew collection activities if you are sent proof of the debt, such as a copy of a bill for the amount owed.What types of debt collection practices are prohibited?Harassment. Debt collectors may not harass, oppress, or abuse you or any third parties they contact. For example, debt collectors may not:use threats of violence or harm; publish a list of consumers who refuse to pay their debts (except to a credit bureau); use obscene or profane language; or repeatedly use the telephone to annoy someone. False statements. Debt collectors may not use any false or misleading statements when collecting a debt. For example, debt collectors may not:falsely imply that they are attorneys or government representatives; falsely imply that you have committed a crime; falsely represent that they operate or work for a credit bureau; misrepresent the amount of your debt; indicate that papers being sent to you are legal forms when they are not; or indicate that papers being sent to you are not legal forms when they are. Debt collectors also may not state that:you will be arrested if you do not pay your debt; they will seize, garnish, attach, or sell your property or wages, unless the collection agency or creditor intends to do so, and it is legal to do so; or actions, such as a lawsuit, will be taken against you, when such action legally may not be taken, or when they do not intend to take such action. Debt collectors may not:give false credit information about you to anyone, including a credit bureau; send you anything that looks like an official document from a court or government agency when it is not; or use a false name. Unfair practices. Debt collectors may not engage in unfair practices when they try to collect a debt. For example, collectors may not:collect any amount greater than your debt, unless your state law permits such a charge; deposit a post-dated check prematurely; use deception to make you accept collect calls or pay for telegrams; take or threaten to take your property unless this can be done legally; or contact you by postcard.

A debt collector may not apply a payment to any debt you believe you do not owe.What can you do if you believe a debt collector violated the law? You have the right to sue a collector in a state or federal court within one year from the date the law was violated. If you win, you may recover money for the damages you suffered plus an additional amount up to $1,000. Court costs and attorney' s fees also can be recovered. A group of people also may sue a debt collector and recover money for damages up to $500,000, or one percent of the collector' s net worth, whichever is less.Where can you report a debt collector for an alleged violation?Report any problems you have with a debt collector to the BBB.
