They are persistant and are now calling my house atleast 3 times a day from early hours to late....   My fiance owes a small bill i believe,and these people will not let up."EXTREMELY PERSISTANT"

don't know who it is...called for first time tonight..some confusing info above, one says telemarketer and one says collection agency...who is this?  I don't need another one of these calls, if you all know what I mean!

Just get a whistle and speak at a low tone telling the person on the other end that you are sick and lost your voice and ask them to turn up their volume and then use the whistle on them and then hang up.  Just don’t call them and do that because I don’t know what the laws are. Maybe after the LOW-LIFE get aN injured ear drum then they will stop. 2 months ago I moved and have a new phone number and today is the third call and they don’t know me.  Tip….  Go buy stock in hearing aids.

I get this company calling me asking for Tammy Murphy. I don't know who this person is and don't care, but for some reason they keep calling even after I got ahold of someone once and told them that that person doesn't leave here and doesn't have this # as their #. And yet they still call. Sometimes it's just a # in caller ID, other times it's a recorded message at a rare moment that I've picked up without looking at caller ID I get a live person. Wished phone company would do something about their persistant calls.

Generally, the TCPA does not apply to debt collectors making collection calls to debtors. However, if you are subjected to calls from a debt collector and you are not the debtor, you may file a lawsuit against the debt collector under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) and the TCPA.

This right was recently recognized by Judge Legrome D. Davis in a case called Watson v. NCO Group, Inc.  NCO Group is a debt collector that uses automated prerecorded collection calls.  In this case, Mr. Watson alleged he was getting hundreds of calls from NCO Group after he got a new phone number. Mr. Watson claimed he owed no debt to NCO Group, Inc.  Mr. Watson filed suit under both the FDCPA and TCPA.

David Israel, defense lawyer for NCO, argued that the TCPA should not apply to debt collectors.  Judge Davis rejected the argument made by David Israel. The judge ruled that Mr. Watson had a right to sue NCO Group Inc under the TCPA for $500 for each call.  Judge Davis wrote;

[The] Court is convinced that a non-debtor's rights are in fact violated when he is subjected to repeated annoying and abusive debt collection calls that he remains powerless to stop.

Judge Davis' ruling was based upon his interpretation that collection calls to non-debtors violate the privacy rights provided by the TCPA.  

So what can you do if you receive "wrong number" calls from debt collectors?

1. Sign up for the Do-Not-Call registry.
2. Save the calls captured by your voice mail or answering machine.
3. Contact a consumer lawyer.

I am recieving calls daily from this number on my home phone.  No idea what they are calling for.

How can I stop these phone calls.  I get them sometimes twicw a day?

Can these calls be stopped from this #

Around a month ago i started receiving phone calls from this number. automated phone calls and then press one to talk to a rep.
I called back the number and they are telling me that I owned 165 dls from a Hospital visit in 2002... i have never been in that hospital... suppously it was from an emergency visit which i never did.
Told them that i have never received a "statment" or any kind of bill before. and they told me that they were going to send me a bill which it never happend... so is this a real company? or is just a company that is trying to get money out of you?
the guy that i talked to was very rude when i explained that i have never been at that hospital... but weird thing is that they have my last 4 digits of my ssn and my dob...
what can i do??????

Persistent calling, more than three times a day every day. It's stressing my Mother out and we have asked them repeatedly to stop calling our home and to please send everything in writing but they won't stop the phone calls. My family has asked to be notified in writing what debt they are even trying to collect and they still won't stop calling.

Some a$$ hat called demanding to speak with Paula. This man was probably sad, overweight, and tiny, with a goat-tee and too much gel on the sides of his hair. Again, this is what I picture. I told him this was the sixth time I told his company PARC not to call here anymore. There is and has never been any Paula here. And he copped an attitude. What an jerk. Who would work for a company like this? A real low-life that's who.
