866-652-3145

The number goes to Encore Receivable Management a collection agency in Virginia and possible other cities. They are resorting to text messages from this 866 #. No option to Text Back. Pretty cagey.

Let's think about whether they can be pursued through sanctions regarding the text message. Occasionally original creditors will slip language into subscriptions that you can be sent a text as a reminder to pay your bill.

The question here is, does that that permission extend to the debt buyer?

They call me 5x a day and do not leave a message also.  Told my kid they have "good news for me". yeah, ok, whatever.

that company call me and  the caller id appear isy own number  I answer and got the information  1-866-652-3145  ancore   why this company use my caller id ?   in my case !

they call 3-4 times a day. i finally called back since there is never a message left. some woman answered and asked for my phone #. i refused to give it and she refused to id herself or her company. when i insisted, she said she was with a financial company "encore". she asked my name and unless i gave her that info, she would not tell me why she was calling. i insisted and she got nasty. she said she could not tell me anything unless i id'd myself to her. i suggested she was a loan company since she was a financial company and she still would not say yes or no nor would she confess being a collection agency. i told her never to cal again and she claims she would put me on a no call list. yeah, we'll see what comes tomorrow.

Same old crap. They have called many times and the latest SCAM was to ask me if I was the daughter of someone who had the same last name as me, but a first name I never heard of. They have also called with the same BS from 866-652-3143.  43, 45 whatever, the next one will probably be from 44!  Wouldn't answer any questions. I suggested that they try 1-800-eat-shi# since I was tired of their calls. This time it was male, the previous time it was female and the rest of the times the just didn't leave a message. I sent AT&T a memo that said quite simply, if you don't get the calls stopped from these numbers I would terminate AT&T. Their response was they weren't responsible. I suggested since AT&T actually controls WHO gets the 866 numbers they had 30 days or By By from this customer. I have already filed a complaint fwith the FCC, which is what you should also do. Good Luck ! The only problem is the company that has the phone number can look up this complaint so they know we are ratting them out!

They have called my phone 4 times in the last 10 minutes. I don't answer unless I know who it is. In the emortal words of that great songstress Ashlee Simpson "You make me wanna scream"

Stop calling my phone 4-5x a day I work too hard and I hate being woke up in the middle of the night I told them to stop calling and the person they are looking for does not live here and they keep calling please stop calling

They call me everyday two to five times in one day. There is never is a message and I don't know this number anyway.

You can block numbers like these from your phone.  It's wonderful not having my phone ring at 7:00am and 9:30pm anymore.  Just log onlne to your phone company and block the number.  It's that simple

If the person they are looking for doesn't leave there then I guess they have the right number, no? :)

My mother recived several called from number 866-6523145 about 7 - 8 times a day. Why I don't know??? THEY never told me why when I asked them why they are calling my mother's number. They wanted to talk to my sister and I said she does not live with me. I lied though, she does live with me, but since they never told me who they were and what they want, I was not about to tell them anything about my sister.

They have already called me more than twenty times in the past five days. I do not know the number and everyone I know their number does not start with 866. Again I do not know this number.

Virginia by way of Dubai, maybe.  They called several times in the past two days and didn't leave a message so I called them back and asked why they were calling.  They asked for my name & I said no; I'll give you the phone number & then you can give me the name of the person you're trying to reach at that number.  Because if you don't know the person's name you definately shouldn't be calling their cell phone several times a day.

They're a collection agency for GE money bank.

And before you mention that I should just pay my bills and then I wouldn't have to worry about such calls; GE money was already informed that I was filing chapter 7 bankruptcy before they sold it to this company.  So maybe they shouldn't be able to sell debts in pending bankruptcy status to debt scavengers in third world countries.

Even if there was a debt and it was paid you will still get calls from GE Money at all hours.I have proof of that.Anyone game to take these people on?

I don't understand how these companies are getting away with this type of harassment.  They call multiple times a day, from different numbers.  They never leave a message, and when I do answer they phone, they hang up.  This is totally against collection laws and I have told them before, when someone actually stayed on the line to talk to me, that they need to stop calling or I will file a harassment suit against them.  The thing that bugs me the most is that they have their collections department in India so you can barely understand them and they can't really understand you.

isn't it the law for one phone call a day for a collection agency?....but no they insist on calling multiple times a day everyday and is clearly illeagle....GE money is like a little pest that needs to be swatted like a little insect! and to boot I am not even close being over the limit on that so called medical credit card!

My son's friend use to get call 5+ times a day from this number, he asked them to stop but they didn't. Now they rarely call, he think he solved his problem. He reverted to a small air horn from Walmart sports dept. When they start to speak, he gives them a blast.
Don't know but he said it worked for him.

This is not a scam. It is a debt collection company for Ge Money. Most common credit card from them is the care credit. They are allowed to call you if you have a valid debt with them. You can't get mad at someone doing there job by trying to collect money that you owe. Very nice people and easy to set up arrangements with

something happen to my car today and i was pissed off and these [***] call and i don't usually pick up the phone if i don't know the number but they called at the wrong time and i told them [***] YOU and hung up the phone, and i feel a little bit better know :)
