A woman at this number called my cell number and asked for both of my parents, saying she wanted to speak with them about a personal matter. After reading these posts, I'm guessing that this is a spam caller really has no business with anyone. I gave this person a phone number that my parents could be reached at but it wasn't a home phone. She asked if my number was the home phone where they lived and I said no then she hung up. If it is indeed a spam caller, she'll be ignored then placed on the DNC list. As a former telemarketer, I know that placing numbers on the DNC doesn't always work when you enter it in online so you may actually have to call and complain and make sure someone blocks it. I've called customers and they tell me that they've put our numbers on the DNC but apparently, it didn't work. If the number gets reported enough, it should get blocked or deactivated permanently.

They have called four times per day for the last week, when I answer they hang up. Who are they?

Just got a new cell number 2/16/09. This number has called my daughters phone at least 10 times this morning. My daughter is a minor and has no debt. She is not answering the call but it is annoying  to be having this problem.

some dam one keep call me from this nub

some  one keep call me from this nub and iam so tird of it well thay just go to hell .quit call me ok

credit collection company

up to 9 times a day on my house phone...

Who is supposed to enforce it when NO ONE EVER BOTHERS TO REPORT IT??

YES THERE ARE LAWS - but if 99% of the posters here would file the formal complaints against these scumbags -what do you expect?  

THE FTC AND ATTORNEY GENERAL'S MUST RECEIVE COMPLAINTS TO ACT ON.

SAME WITH THE DNC WEBSITE - If you never file formal complaints - how are they supposed to enforce the law?

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.

They just call & LEAVE NO MESSAGE!!!!

I am receiving numerous debt collection calls from 651 204 1376 even after I have explained that I am not the person they are trying to collect from.

Report to Do not Call web site.  Must tell them there is a recorded message to accept the complaint or hav ethe phone on the do not call list for at lease 31 days.  They will block the calls.

This number called my cell 5 times in a row, for several days straight. We do not have a debt, as I do not even have a credit card and my husband pays his off each month. I called the number back twice and advised them of this. Credit One even admitted they have no name associated with my phone number. The first CSR was very rude and said the calls would stop after 30 days if they don't reach the person they are looking for. If they don't have a person associated with the number...then how do they even know who they are trying to find? She told me she would refer it to her supervisor. The very next day I received 3 more calls, so I called them once again. The CSR I spoke with this time was very friendly and he too admitted that there was no name associated with my number (no kidding?).  He said he would have to give this to his supervisor and would try to take my phone number off of their list. Within 15 minutes, my phone was ringing again and twice today. I finally decided to contact my cell phone service provider and had their number blocked. I also blocked the 651 # that they called from last week.  Other than blocking their numbers, what am I supposed to do? This is clearly a computer generated call...and they admitted they aren't looking for us (I also provided our names to see if they had us in their system by name - no, they don't).

I was getting calls from another number from Credit One Bank & then this number started calling as well. They call my every hour, let it ring 1 time then hang up. I finally called them to find out what they wanted. They were looking for someone that I didn't know to collect a debt. All you have to do to get them to stop is call the number tell them you don't know who that person is & you want to be removed from their calling loop, you don't even have to tell them who you are. It will take 24-72 hours before they stop calling you.

**But then be aware you will might get calls from another number with them, if you do just call them again & tell them to stop.

I am a switchboard operator and have way too many calls to be flooded with 10 calls per hour from the same number all day!!! Everytime I answer the phone no one is on the other line. So on my personal break I called the number back and a recording comes on announcing that the call may be recorded for quality assurance and or training purposes. I explain to the guy who answers that I work the switchboard and have received NUMEROUS calls from their number. I confirm the number they are dialing only to be asked if "Insert Name Here" is available. I don't know why they didn't ask when they called the first 3 times they called today. That is absolutely annoying do they have nothing better to do with their time??? I spent most of my day listening for a voice on the other end just to find out they have the wrong number!!! WTF?!

they call my phone like 4 to 5 times in a hour sometimes....quite frustrating since I am not even the one that has the account yet they call me cuz i used my cell phone to make a payment one time for someone else.  Now they wont leave me alone.

cREDIT ONE BANK, YOU MUST OWE ON YOUR ACCOUNT

Oh well if they just told me that...

First, I do not have an account with Credit One Bank. Second, this number has been calling me for about 4 days now. They call ALL day long. My voicemail picks up and there is always a message that lasts for 3 to 4 seconds. However, the message is always just dead air.

Its credit one bank collection company.

call my cell 4 to 5 time a day
