240-210-7111

They only call my cell phone. Leave NO MESSAGE. When I call back they answer RPM's

They call me throughout the day, never leaving a message.  I've never called them back because I owe no one anything.  The harassment needs to stop though, somehow.

Constant calls, never leaves a message, phone calls at all hours
these people have no respect or morals, bunch of low lifes!

Received a call from 240-210-7111, but no message left. Hung up just before the machine would prompt the caller to leave a message.

This is a scam company i have been doing research on them every since i have been recieving calls from what they say is a sprint collection.  Do not give them any information.  If a debt is owed pay it directly to the company you owe it too, not RPM!!!

No one was on the line when I answered it.

It's a Robocall... they are illegal...
4. What can I do if I receive a robocall that I think is illegal?
1) Call your local telephone company to file a complaint. You must give them the
name of who called and if possible the telephone number of the robocaller (it
may be provided in the message.)
2) Your telephone company will then tell the business that it is not following the law
and may give it some time to correct the problem.
3) If the business does not correct the use of the robocaller by the time given by the
telephone company, the telephone company can disconnect the phone line.
4) If you are not satisfied with the telephone company’s response to your robocall
complaint, you may contact the CPUC’s Consumer Affairs Branch by filing a
complaint online at http://www.cpuc.ca.gov/PUC/forms/Complaints/ or by
telephone at 1-800-649-7570 or in writing to:
California Public Utilities Commission
Consumer Affairs Branch
505 Van Ness Avenue

This just started a few days ago . I recieve phine calls throughout the day as well from this number the caller ID says it's from "Shawn Jacks".

I get calls at least once a day. No message left and when I first answered, nobody on the line. I now know they are Receivables Performance management (RPM), a debt collection company. You can find them at http://www.receivablesperformance.com. I know I don't owe them (or anybody) any money. I just stoped picking up the phone.

Called that number, they said they are a collection company authorized by Sprint to collect a bill I owe for 175.00 for a land line connection. I told them I have NEVER had a land line in this home by Sprint and she told me I had to write a letter disputing the debt and she gave me an address to send it to. Call won't stop though. It's an automated call service.

I have received three calls a day for 3 days from this number and ID says Receivable performance.  Not only them but in the last 2 months I have been barraged by 1-800, 1-212 and every other kind of robodialer.  I get at least 6 different numbers calling every day. REady to get an unlisted number, but that probably won't help either.  Even on my cell phone now!

I have so far received over 32 calls from this number. It is RPM,
(Receivables Performance Management). They are a "collection agency", and since I know I have no debts, I never call them back. They never leave a message, they use several phone numbers and call at random times almost every day. I have now rigged my phone so it rings silently when they call. I am a little curious to see how many times they will call and get no answer before they give up. I have reported this to the FTC, but have not seen any result yet.

i have a missed call on my phone from this number for every day since last friday and they just called again. i'm getting really tired of this. if its somebody 'for sprint' they need to know i have never had sprint. ever. and i dont even HAVE a landline at my house. i'm so tired of this.

There is a press release on the Noble Systems web site (www.noblesys.com) that proudly announces their relationship with RPM. You can read about their software on this site. I thought people might like to know what is the software that is producing all those harassing phone calls.

I get either 2 or 3 rings, then they hangup.  I know what its about.  No, I don't owe anyone any money.  Its a relative that used my name for reference at Sprint.  The former collection agency was unable to get me to divulge my relative's contact information.  A month lapsed, and now this place is bugging me.  I've never had an account with Sprint or its sister telephone service.  I would suggest that others that are wondering why they get these phone calls that they contact relatives or "friends" that used you as a reference.

If you look on the RPM web site, you see that many of their management used to work at Sprint. Maybe they are busy mining old Sprint debts, valid or not?

They called asking for my son, but with one letter off - MAKING IT A DIFFERENT NAME, so that tipped me off. They wouldn't tell me anything, so of course I think this is some sort of scam phone call.  After looking on here, I see they are a collection agency, I would like to know for what, since my son is only 4!

From Federal Trade Commission Website – FAIR DEBT COLLECTION PRACTICES ACT
Debt Collection FAQs: A Guide for Consumers
If you’re behind in paying your bills, or a creditor’s records mistakenly make it appear that you are, a debt collector may be contacting you.
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the nation’s consumer protection agency, enforces the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), which prohibits debt collectors from using abusive, unfair, or deceptive practices to collect from you.
Under the FDCPA, a debt collector is someone who regularly collects debts owed to others. This includes collection agencies, lawyers who collect debts on a regular basis, and companies that buy delinquent debts and then try to collect them.
Here are some questions and answers about your rights under the Act.

What types of debts are covered?
The Act covers personal, family, and household debts, including money you owe on a personal credit card account, an auto loan, a medical bill, and your mortgage. The FDCPA doesn’t cover debts you incurred to run a business.

Can a debt collector contact me any time or any place?
No. A debt collector may not contact you at inconvenient times or places, such as before 8 in the morning or after 9 at night, unless you agree to it. And collectors may not contact you at work if they’re told (orally or in writing) that you’re not allowed to get calls there.

How can I stop a debt collector from contacting me?
If a collector contacts you about a debt, you may want to talk to them at least once to see if you can resolve the matter – even if you don’t think you owe the debt, can’t repay it immediately, or think that the collector is contacting you by mistake. If you decide after contacting the debt collector that you don’t want the collector to contact you again, tell the collector – in writing – to stop contacting you. Here’s how to do that:
Make a copy of your letter. Send the original by certified mail, and pay for a “return receipt” so you’ll be able to document what the collector received. Once the collector receives your letter, they may not contact you again, with two exceptions: a collector can contact you to tell you there will be no further contact or to let you know that they or the creditor intend to take a specific action, like filing a lawsuit. Sending such a letter to a debt collector you owe money to does not get rid of the debt, but it should stop the contact. The creditor or the debt collector still can sue you to collect the debt.

Can a debt collector contact anyone else about my debt?
If an attorney is representing you about the debt, the debt collector must contact the attorney, rather than you. If you don’t have an attorney, a collector may contact other people – but only to find out your address, your home phone number, and where you work. Collectors usually are prohibited from contacting third parties more than once. Other than to obtain this location information about you, a debt collector generally is not permitted to discuss your debt with anyone other than you, your spouse, or your attorney.

What does the debt collector have to tell me about the debt?
Every collector must send you a written “validation notice” telling you how much money you owe within five days after they first contact you. This notice also must include the name of the creditor to whom you owe the money, and how to proceed if you don’t think you owe the money.

Can a debt collector keep contacting me if I don’t think I owe any money?
If you send the debt collector a letter stating that you don’t owe any or all of the money, or asking for verification of the debt, that collector must stop contacting you. You have to send that letter within 30 days after you receive the validation notice. But a collector can begin contacting you again if it sends you written verification of the debt, like a copy of a bill for the amount you owe.

What practices are off limits for debt collectors?
Harassment. Debt collectors may not harass, oppress, or abuse you or any third parties they contact. For example, they may not:
    use threats of violence or harm;
    publish a list of names of people who refuse to pay their debts (but they can give this information to the credit reporting companies);
    use obscene or profane language; or
    repeatedly use the phone to annoy someone.

False statements. Debt collectors may not lie when they are trying to collect a debt. For example, they may not:
    falsely claim that they are attorneys or government representatives;
    falsely claim that you have committed a crime;
    falsely represent that they operate or work for a credit reporting company;
    misrepresent the amount you owe;
    indicate that papers they send you are legal forms if they aren’t; or
    indicate that papers they send to you aren’t legal forms if they are.

Debt collectors also are prohibited from saying that:
    you will be arrested if you don’t pay your debt;
    they’ll seize, garnish, attach, or sell your property or wages unless they are permitted by law to take the action and intend to do so; or
    legal action will be taken against you, if doing so would be illegal or if they don’t intend to take the action.

Debt collectors may not:
    give false credit information about you to anyone, including a credit reporting company;
    send you anything that looks like an official document from a court or government agency if it isn’t; or
    use a false company name.

Unfair practices. Debt collectors may not engage in unfair practices when they try to collect a debt. For example, they may not:
    try to collect any interest, fee, or other charge on top of the amount you owe unless the contract that created your debt – or your state law – allows the charge;
    deposit a post-dated check early;
    take or threaten to take your property unless it can be done legally; or
    contact you by postcard.

Can I control which debts my payments apply to?
Yes. If a debt collector is trying to collect more than one debt from you, the collector must apply any payment you make to the debt you select. Equally important, a debt collector may not apply a payment to a debt you don’t think you owe.

Can a debt collector garnish my bank account or my wages?
If you don’t pay a debt, a creditor or its debt collector generally can sue you to collect. If they win, the court will enter a judgment against you. The judgment states the amount of money you owe, and allows the creditor or collector to get a garnishment order against you, directing a third party, like your bank, to turn over funds from your account to pay the debt.
Wage garnishment happens when your employer withholds part of your compensation to pay your debts. Your wages usually can be garnished only as the result of a court order. Don’t ignore a lawsuit summons. If you do, you lose the opportunity to fight a wage garnishment.

Can federal benefits be garnished?
Many federal benefits are exempt from garnishment, including:
    Social Security Benefits
    Supplemental Security Income (SSI) Benefits
    Veterans’ Benefits
    Civil Service and Federal Retirement and Disability Benefits
    Service Members’ Pay
    Military Annuities and Survivors’ Benefits
    Student Assistance
    Railroad Retirement Benefits
    Merchant Seamen Wages
    Longshoremen’s and Harbor Workers’ Death and Disability Benefits
    Foreign Service Retirement and Disability Benefits
    Compensation for Injury, Death, or Detention of Employees of U.S. Contractors Outside the U.S.
    Federal Emergency Management Agency Federal Disaster Assistance
But federal benefits may be garnished under certain circumstances, including to pay delinquent taxes, alimony, child support, or student loans.

Do I have any recourse if I think a debt collector has violated the law?
You have the right to sue a collector in a state or federal court within one year from the date the law was violated. If you win, the judge can require the collector to pay you for any damages you can prove you suffered because of the illegal collection practices, like lost wages and medical bills. The judge can require the debt collector to pay you up to $1,000, even if you can’t prove that you suffered actual damages. You also can be reimbursed for your attorney’s fees and court costs. A group of people also may sue a debt collector as part of a class action lawsuit and recover money for damages up to $500,000, or one percent of the collector’s net worth, whichever amount is lower. Even if a debt collector violates the FDCPA in trying to collect a debt, the debt does not go away if you owe it.

What should I do if a debt collector sues me?
If a debt collector files a lawsuit against you to collect a debt, respond to the lawsuit, either personally or through your lawyer, by the date specified in the court papers to preserve your rights.

Where do I report a debt collector for an alleged violation?
Report any problems you have with a debt collector to your state Attorney General’s office (www.naag.org) and the Federal Trade Commission (www.ftc.gov). Many states have their own debt collection laws that are different from the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. Your Attorney General’s office can help you determine your rights under your state’s law.

I also get these calls  the caller id says  from 240-210-7111 from Virginia and 703-291-9039  from Maryland and when they leave a msg it says to call 866-212-7408-- I ignore them I owe nothing to anyone-

Constantly getting harassing calls.....robocaller.  Have them stop!!!

I believe it is related to call requesting troop support ...I pledged $20...never received anything by mail but yet they are expecting me to remit $20 somehow, someway... The call was recorded.  I said I would send a check within a week....therefore may be they turned it over to a collection agency since it was not received in a week.
