800-789-8001

Didn't answer the phone.Unknownname

Called my home up to 9x/day for days on end, but they never left a message.  I blocked my # and called back.  The company is called SST - (Systems and Services Technologies) and they do "recreation" loans [rv, boat, etc.] under the umbrella of Medallion Bank (a fact I later discovered online).

I kept pressing for more info and finally the representative admitted to also being "A COLLECTION AGENCY FOR VISA". I asked exactly which VISA/bank/institution(s) did they represent, and she replied "ALL VISA's", and then "ANY CARD THAT IS A VISA, WE REPRESENT THEM ALL"!  Riiiiiight.....

They call 6-12 times a day at 2 different #'s of mine. Never leave a message. I do have a car loan with SST that I am 9 days behind on one payment so I guess that's what it is probably about. Still- for F's sake. Interrupting my business umpteen times a day doesn't make me have the money any faster.

I have received numerous calls daily with this phone number but on caller ID it says "unavailable". They never leave a message. I don't have a loan with this company. We usually don't answer the phone for unidentified callers, however, because they have been persistent I decided to answer and request that they remove us from their caller list. The response was "mam, we will continue to call and have a nice day". I have tried to block this caller with no avail. Wish I knew where to go from here......

Called my house and left an automated message from TRS - no details just asked to be called back at 800-210-6385.  Called after hiting *67 and got a recording, no indication of who or what they do.  Seems very fishy.

do not answer this - probable collection agency

I received a call from 800-789-8001 today. They have called me a few times but never leave a message.  i got a call from a collection agency stating that i owe money to a credit card company for an old account... I told them I paid it off in 2006!!! They say that I owe almost $4000!!!! My checking account that I wrote the checks from is now CLOSED! I can't get copies of the checks!!! I asked them how come btwn 2006 and now the CC Company hasn't contacted me. He said b/c it's gone to collections ... OKAY BUT WHAT ABOUT THE PAST TWO YEARS!!!  They are NOT Getting anymore of my money!!! GOOD GRIEF!!!!!!!!!!

I received a call from Angela of SST Systems & Services Technologies asking for my fiancé.  I inquired as to the nature of their call and they said they were looking for a Ms. Shantel or Chantel Mills.  I said we have never heard of such a person.  Angela admitted that she used a reverse address website to obtain our street and phone information.  She also admitted that other neighbors may be contacted.  I expressed my concern about identity theft and she said she could not answer any further questions.  The number she gave me was 800-789-8001.  I am reporting them to the Federal Do Not Call list.

Unfortunately, Debt Collectors are exempt from the "Do Not Call" registry.

They are governed under the laws of the FTC, which administers the FDCPA (Fair Debt Collection Practices Act):

http://www.creditinfocenter.com/legal/FDCPA.shtml

The only way to stop them from calling is to send them a Cease Communication letter VIA Certified mail. Be sure to request a return receipt and keep copies of everything. If they continue to call after you have written proof they recived it, they can face fines of up to $1,000.00 PER violation.

Go to this website, which contains some good examples of Cease Communication letters for you to use (depending on your particular situation). Just fill in the blanks:

http://www.fair-debt-collection.com/disputing-debt-collections.html

They are not exempt because

Did YOU give them permission to call? NO
Did YOU establish a business relationship with them? NO

Did you ever sign an agreement with the collection agency
establishing business with them, giving them permission to call? NO
Did you make arrangements with them to Pay the alleged debt? NO

Does the collection agency have proof the one they are calling
actually lives at the residence? NO, it could be a Wrong Number.

Harrassment is illegal and its still Harrassment
no matter whose doing it. So is Harrassing Communications.
If you tell them to Not call again and they still call,
its Harrassment, report to the Do Not Call List, Cops,
and whoever else you can. I have for years.
and found out most calls were Scams and not who they
claimed to be.
If there number goes through as accepted
on the do not call registry, well you just reported them.
DUH! how easy was that. I've reported them calling 15 times
a day for over a month, I reported every single call,
and guess what, The Calls Stopped.

let me add, when the calls stopped for a month or so,
I would get a new strange number calling,
So I reported it too. It would stop.
Then another number would call, reported it too,
conclusion : its the Same people using different numbers.
This is a good way to Trace Scammers and what current number
they are using. Reporting every new number helps
Track down these Scammers.
Then I started getting blank "unavailable" calls
which I never answer. Now I'm not getting any calls
hope it stays that way.

DONT KNOW WHY THEY ARE CALLING

They have absolutely no right to call me. My information is private and I have NO debt with them or anyone else. They have no right to call asking for information about my dad and then give none in return.

FYI:
I am a grown man living on my own, I haven't lived with my dad for 6 years.

they kept calling and when I would answer no one was there.  i called back and let them know they were not there and that they called 10 times before noon.  after i set up payment through my bank they kept calling.  I talked to their CEO named Jim Laws and he promised my number would be removed.  They called again.  every person i talked to pretty much said i don't know how to answer my phone or that i am just a liar.  I hate this company
