978-275-9950

Stevens Business, other number is 800-371-8336. Medical collection agency.

Called cell phone 3 times today, left one garbled (barely spoke English) message and did not identify calling company.

call came in left message but was so garbled could not understand message or number to call back. Did not say what company they were calling from.

Called cell phone in Alaska at 6am, left no message.

Someone at that number 978-257-9950 called my cell phone this morning (Saturday) in Alaska at 6:00 am. If this person is reading this bet your ass I will file harassment charges. I don't know who this company is or why they are calling, says above its a medical collection agency? I have no medical debt!!!

hi they left me a message saying I owed $460 and they knew my social security number.PLEASE DO NOT GIVE THEM INFO I REGRET IT ALOT

Had been calling, finally called back. Was for a Utility Bill. Said it is scheduled to be reported on to my credit report. Didn't seem to eager to help resolve the account, being a previous debt collector I would have done everything I could to get that payment.

SBS-1978-275-9950 calls me 4-6 times a day. If I don’t answer they redial 3 to 4 times in a row and never leave a message. I answered it a few times and each time the person ask for me and then says they want my social security number. When I say no, they get nasty and say they are sending a sheriff to arrest me. They call my sons house & my son -in laws mother's saying if I don't call them back by the end of that day they are going to have me arrested . They call at 7:30 A.M. & 9:45 P.M., on the week-end & Sundays. When told to stop calling they call even more or have a different person start calling but same SBS shows on my I.D..

They constantly call my phone. It is only a tape recording no person. I don't know who they are or who they are looking for but it's not me. I just got this number summer of '13 . An individual doesn't have a chance to respond.

Call and my step son is former army SGT. And now a cop in MASSACHUSETTS so you will be tracked next call and arrested for fraud. I GUARANTEE IT BUDDY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Called 3 times today, left one message - could not even be sure the person was speaking English - totally unintelligible.

Called at 930 pm. Asked for ss#. When refused started to threaten arrest. Told me they were sending a sheriff to arrest me. When i asked if they meant a deputy or constable, they screamed "i said sheriff, i meant sheriff." I told them to please send my boss out as i work for the sheriff. They mumbled somthing in what might have been hatian and hung up. At no point did they identify themselves, the company, or the reason for the call.

Someone from this number calls me repeatedly, yet when I spoke to them they would not tell me what it's in regards to, first they want me to confirm my social security number.... I don't think so!!

They have called my number for the past month 12 to as much as 15 times a day anbd at keast 3 times in a week. Is ther not a limit on how many time they can call a person in one day?
They never leave a message either

***A company must be licensed in their state as well as the one they are trying to collect in if two different states are involved.

Some Tips:
*Keep all messages
*Take a picture of your Caller ID
*Keep any and all conversations recorded to your states recording laws, some require they be told, others do not. This can be transferred to a recording device.
*Keep a notebook handy for writing time,date, who you spoke with and what the conversation detailed.
*Check your SOL for your state as well.
*Attorneys need to be licensed as a DC to collect, all DC's must be licensed in their state as well as yours if different.

They called me here and as with all unknown calls (JUST DONT ANSWER)

No message

Called me every other week for the last four months asking for my dead brother. When I explained he had died instead of "I'm sorry for your loss" all they had to say was "I don't see that in my system, I need proof of death" they then proceeded to tell me that they want to talk to who is in charge of his estate and that I need to provide a death certificate
