Possibly a collection agency. Could not
Understand very well. Broken English.

No message, just unknown number.

No message unknown number.

Started getting calls on my cell phone from this number. No message, nothing. Grabbed another line and called, the recorded greeting says it is Northland Group, a debt collection agency. Says they are in Edina, MN. I don't owe anybody anything and all my bills are current.

No message, unknown number, no message. Not calling back.

Random calls, no message.

Caller ID said Toll Free Caller, they didn't leave a message.  Hung up before the recorder picked up. If it's a debt collector, we don't owe anybody anything.

They called again today. Still didn't leave a message.  It's Horthland Group, a debt collection agency.  We don't have any unpaid debts so leave us alone!!!!  I guess deadbeats always give the right address and phone number.

And then again, maybe they have the wrong info or just do not care if your who they are calling or not..  It happens as DC's do not take time to try and find the right up dated and full info before playing phone tag. Not everyone is a "deadbeat" getting these calls. For example:

Really? Someone works for the Northland Group and is an employee. Debt collectors do not care if they are harassing you, misleading you, maligning you, or destroying your good name and character. They are using the system to make millions in a day and age when the federal government is working to destroy the economy and rebuild the nation into a socialist utopia. Debt collectors are the lowest form of business, often buying up debts that are so small the Hubble telescope couldn't find them. Then they go after people aggressively, threatening them, garnishing wages, destroying credit, often with little concern for anything but their bottom line. The people that work for them are rude and often times hostile. You can't determine if you owe someone or if they have the wrong number, but they have your number so you're guilty. These are bottom feeders and the closest thing to legalized loan sharks, short of the IRS.

I returned call rec'd at our number from this number. I would not share my first name when I inquired as to why this number was calling me. they didn't even identify what type of company they were- but said they needed certain data- well I NEED certain 'data' to divulge ANY information to a number!'

Paid off stolen money from a US Bank account, was granted an order of protection against person that stole money. Us Bank and TN police department dropped additional financial part of the charges. Made me pay it. First bank account and they set up my reserve for $3,000. Almost 4 years later US Bank "has no record" of prior collector reporting payment completion. New collector harassing me.. can't get anywhere with anyone!! Don't bank with US bank!!!!

cant get a straight answer as to who this is, always get disconnected when they transfer me. tired of the calls please get a live competent person to talk to me instead of transfer and transfer

If they don't identify themselves, don't speak to them. It's that simple.

Middle eastern accept girl transferred me to some dude named Kong Nang Bang or something. Sounded like a scam. From "Northland Group"... I don't have any bills in collections that I know of.

Caller asked for me. Wouldn't tell my wife the reason why unless she gave her SS #. Got very rude with her

Tired of phone calls of people and companies of bull [***]
