603-413-6578

They say it is BHA a debt collector company......

Says they are collecting a 20 year debt from a bank in PA. Foreign guy where you could hear cells phones ringing every few seconds.

The phone didn't finish ringing once and left a voicemail saying it was Tina and to call her back.

Called 5 times in a row, left a voicemail saying "This is Tina, please call me at 6034136578"

I got a call from this number today

My robo block caller block this call over 13 times in a matter of 3 minutes. I called them to see who it was and it was a debt collection agency for somebody else. If I was that person I would get a lawyer and sue them for harassment. 13 calls in 3 minutes is harassment.

Well if I were you I would sue them as well because you were the one who was called 13 times not them.

Called twice in a row from 603-413-6578. Left a monotonous voicemail saying her name was Tina and to call her back at 603-217-5626.

Same here! I told them never call me again

A "Tina" left a message asking me to call her. Very folksy sounding. Oddly Ive also gotten a text within days of the call from a Tina asking me to call, but via a different east coast number. No last name, no mention of nature of call, no company name.  Sure sounds like a crafty collection co.

Just left message saying it was Tina to call back

Continue to get a call from this number. It rings once and then no voicemail. Today, after it rang once, I received a text message from the same number saying it was Kate Brown from BHA Services, with a link to call a different # 757-208-3041 stating to return her call today, along with a link www.bhabillpay.com.

i received a call from this number and the caller id said "FEGAN N". I was asked for by my name from a man calling himself Keith who wouldn't declare his association or what his intentions were other than he needed to speak to me. i didn't recognize the voice at all. i told him to take me off his list for one thing as a precaution and also to never call again or i would have my lawyer sue him for 1000 dollars every time he does. i hung up. then he called back. i asked what he wanted and he wouldn't declare other than he  needed to talk to "My Name". i told him off in not so many words. there are a lot of scams going around right now because of the bank panic and the stock market crash. people are going to prey on people's fear and panic and vulnerabilities. this person is a pathological predator and a social pariah. beware.

Received call from (603) 413-6578 on 3/21/23. First spoke to Kurt Jones then transferred to his manager Keith Malone. They said they were with BHA Services, a collection agency from New Hampshire that collects for Lowe’s and Sam’s Club.  They were attempting to collect $1,746.62 for Lowe’s. Said it’s a commercial account under my name that is past due from 2008. Yes, 2008. That’s 15 years ago! They had my home address, email addresses, last 4 of my social and obviously my phone number. All were correct. However, I don’t have a Lowe’s account. I’ve never received a bill or collection notice in the mail and they couldn’t give me any details other than amount owed and the amount and date of a last payment. Said I needed to pay today or I’m being sued. They sound legit so I’m contacting Lowe’s to try to get more info. Just another CRaZy day in the U.S. of A.

No reason to contact Lowe's. First off this is an extortion scam and the law does not require you to prove or disprove anything.

Correction- Initial call from Kurt Jones, came from ph# 877-320-0252. The Keith Malone guy gave me the 603-413-6578 ph# when I pressed him for a call back number.

You will need to send them a certified, return receipt debt validation (by law they have to go back to the original creditor to prove you owe the debt), cease and desist calling, or "not me" letter (this will be the best money that you have ever invested).  Also send it first class mail in case no one will sign for it.  Make a notation of that fact at the bottom of the letter.  You also need to report them to the proper agencies to which I have provided links to.  Then you need to go out and get a consumer lawyer to sue them on a contingency basis (no money out of your pocket) and let them pay you for the harassment.  If everyone did these three things, these crooks would be bankrupt, and we would all be the richer for it.  Use these web sites to find an attorney in your state that will probably take the case on a contingency basis (no money out of your pocket up front):  http://www.consumeradvocates.org/

Everything else you need to know follows including at least two or more federal and state agencies where you should report their criminal activities.

It is incumbent upon them under the law to prove that the debt exists and that you owe it, and (this is the important part) that they have the legal right to collect it.  You are not obligated under the law to prove that you don’t owe or that it is paid.  

Federal law (FDCPA) requires them to send you a letter (US MAIL ONLY) postmarked within 5 days of their first contact that contains their name, physical address, the creditor’s name, and the amount of the alleged debt. It also must contains “mini-Miranda” telling you that it is an attempt to collect a debt and that all information will be used for those purposes.  The one other important thing that this letter must also have in it is that you have a right to dispute the debt within 30 days of receipt of the letter and if you do so, all collection activity must be stopped until the debt is verified.  If and when you get that letter you should immediately send that debt validation letter by certified, return receipt mail.

First, you should make a complaint at this Federal Agency, and while there you should also read up on how debt collection is supposed to work as well as what your rights in this matter are: https://www.consumerfinance.gov/

Also file a complaint with your State Attorney General's office.

Received a call from BHA associate Keith Malone.  Trying to collect a supposed debt from 18 years ago.  Said it would go to litigation if I didn't pay now. $3000 if I paid today or $5000 if litigation.

Repeat calls at phone extn in office (originally) from a # of 609-905-0446.A pre-recording from female named Susan- when I pick up.caller/ recording doesn’t state my name or whom call is for. I called back,  blocking  my cell.  When I asked nature of their business but wouldn’t tell them my name, the male became angry with me. I told him it sounds like a scam and I’d be reporting them, unasked the name if the business-  he said BHA and when I told the this seemed like a scam, he hung up. I called back again, blocking # and thus time asked for Susan- the name of the person in their prerecorded message. Same man answered and said “ you’re the one who just hung up- when I asked for Susan he asked who I was. I asked his name- Keith Malone, if that can be believed.  I told him he wasnt getting my name, and that I believed they were scammers and I’d be reporting them to the authorities. He told me he wasnt going to play games with me - I told him they were playing games with ME, by calling my work number, not knowing my name and wasting my time. ( I have excellent credit, no debts accept mortgage.) He responded “ I’m not playing witchoo - you can play with yourself at your desk if you like but you’re not wasting my time.” I was taken aback and said,  “… oh, really?” He said, “oh, you like that huh?” I fell quiet for moment and then he hung up. That was last 10/16/23 and i immediately reported using online complaint form to NYS AG office who sent me a letter acknowledging my online complaint, by stating they need more complaints- not just mine- to investigate this company.
Today, the calls from this creep resumed-well,  I assume it was him- although the number that came up today was # 877-302-0252. When I googled that, I found complaints about a Keith Malone, ( the man I spoke to on 10/16/23 at the 609 area code. Now he’s associated with/calling from this 877#.
Yesterday I found the website for federal trade commission where it appears you can submit complaints about sleazeballs like Keith Malone and BHA -online.
