Sounds like some sort of Collection Agency.  Caller identified herself as "Candice" and left an 800 number to call back. (866-563-7807)

SEND LETTERS DONOT CALL

They said they were calling from a law office, then asked if I had caller ID, when i said i was in the middle of a conference call.

This was a debt collector from robinson reagan and young. I had just a missed call, no voicemail so I didn't call back. Now, two months later I have a collection account on my credit report. Turns out I owe $25 to NES and the only communication I received was 1 missed call.

Same thing happened to me.

Law office collecting a debt Robinson Regan and young. Called back and voice msgs gave info. Blocked call. I don't have anything for them to collect. Filing a complaint for harrasment.

They've called and left messages several times over the past few weeks looking for someone I've never heard of (I've had this landline phone number for 35 years, so it's not like it's someone who used to have this number.) I finally answered this time to tell them I have no idea who they're looking for and to take my number off their calling list. Rude woman named "Krista" or "Kristy" said, "There is no list," and then hung up on me.

They called and left no message -- after reading this I'm blocking further calls from this number.

BEWARE! These are bottom feeders registered by the name of  Robinson, Reagan and Young. Just because they are registered as a "law firm" is not enough for you to be intimidated. I received a call about an alleged debt of services rendered to my minor son back in 2012. My son was on Tenncare, and i know for a fact it is a Tenncare law to NEVER bill a pt if there was a balance they didn't cover.  So these scumbags were trying to defraud me of $640.00 they made out of thin air. I called Tenncare and they confirmed the bill had been covered. I called the hospital and they received the Tenncare payment, they confirmed no balance was due, pending our outstanding. They also advised they never sent a balance to collections otherwise they would have a record of it. Not sure how these mofos got my minor son's info however they can expect a hefty fine from the State of TN, since i reported them. DO NOT EVER LET THIS TRASH DEFRAUD YOU!

Ironically they can't even pay their phone bill! This should give you an idea of how legitimate they are: www.nashvillepost.com/home/article/20462652/a ... paid-phone-bill

You can send them a cease and desist letter, make sure to keep copies. If they keep harassing request that they produce original documents bearing your original signature agreeing to such charges (THEY DO NOT HAVE THIS, BECAUSE THEY ARE SCAMMERS, HENCE THEY DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO THIS INFO). This should effectively stop them, the moment they see you are proceeding according to your consumer rights they will bail on your case and move on to the next "sucker". You can dispute any wrongful reports they may have filed with the credit bureaus by submitting your letters and advising they never replied. I have gone to court, yes some of these idiots think they can sue you and extort you by filing in the local civil courts. But they didn't count on me knowing my rights, ANY JUDGE will agree if you request that these scammers produce a list of documents, the longer and the harder to obtain the better. The burden of proof is on them so let them try to locate EVERY SINGLE ONE of these ORIGINAL papers. The judge also needs for them to prove beyond doubt that you owe such money and that they have the paperwork to substantiate it. 95% of the time they WILL BAIL AT THIS POINT and the judge will dismiss it. MAKE SURE YOU GET A COPY OF THE DISMISSAL because the scammer will fwd this to the next scammer in line and they may try to start collection procedures again. But all you need to do is send them the dismissal signed by the judge and they can suck it! That should stop them right there. Been there, done that and i am no lawyer. ALWAYS FIGHT BACK!!! They are counting on people getting scared with heir cheap tactics. IGNORANCE IS NOT AN OPTION, there are too many low lives out there. ALSO NEVER EVER UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE MAKE EVEN A SMALL $5.00 PAYMENT ON ANY ALLEGED DEBT THESE COLLECTORS TRY TO GET FROM YOU! They want you to at least pay a small payment and set up a payment plan, because the moment your small payment posts the debt's life gets renewed. EVERY DEBT HAS AN EXPIRATION DATE, NO COLLECTOR CAN LEGALLY TRY TO BILL YOU AFTER SAID EXPIRATION DEBT. This is why they keep trying to at least get you to pay something, the smallest amount is enough to "reset the timer" and on the other hand it is as if you are agreeing that you owe this debt when you don't even know if they are scamming you. Debts usually expire 4 to 7 years after the original date of service. This is why scammers try to collect before the debt expires, they know it is their best shot at trying to extort you. ALWAYS CALL THE ORIGINAL CREDITOR!!! If you do owe money to them then set up a payment plan with them. IF THESE SCAMMERS GIVE YOU THE "ORIGINAL CREDITOR'S PHONE #", DON'T CALL THAT NUMBER!!! IT IS NOT THE ORIGINAL CREDITOR, IT IS ANOTHER SCAMMER IN THE LONG LINE OF SCAM COLLECTORS. SO, with that said, always look up the phone number up. So, i post this advise on the internet whenever i come across these scammers so the next person they try to scam gets to know that you can effectively fight these jerks just by making use of your consumer rights. PASS THIS INFO ON UNTIL THEY GO OUT OF BUSINESS!!!

Please quit calling my phone.

It's Nashville Electric Service debt collectors

I got a call from the above number before I got up! Left a vm with nothing but the firm that sounds like a law office. After reading all the reports, I will block the number as it comes up,PRIVATE. I haven't lived in TN for over 6 years & haven't had NES since 2007. I have no outstanding balances. After having identity theft several years ago, I will report this pond scum. Many thanks to others who helped me identify this number as fraud.

Thank you so much for taking time to post I’ve been so dressed because if comes up as a local number  which made me hesitate because what if it was an emergency or a family member instead we have to dodge these ridiculous people who end up being rude anyway thank you again ur post didn’t go unnoticed

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/
