716-256-1710

This number has been repeatedly calling my home and my work. Even though I've asked them to stop calling me at work (Debt collector) and they continue anyways. This is a debt collection agency.

Most likely this group (Creepy home page on their website, looks like a prison)

This is a very important call for XXXX XXXXX. This is Lisa Farrell with EP group and it is very important that I speak with you today.  Please call me back on my direct line at 716-256-1710.
Caller ID listed as Quorum Lawyer.  Phone number is East Point Recovery Group. No mention of the call being from a debt collector

Lisa Farrell calling & states its very important i call her back regarding an email that was sent to me but wasn’t acknowledged as to whom its for so please call me back at my EP DIRECT LINE 716-256-1710
IM assuming if she stated EP GROUP its definitely the East Point recovery group they are listed as debt collectors. Stop calling me!!!!! I don’t owe you a penny!!! And Its a lie, i have not received any email from any Lisa Farrell...

Not only am I getting these absurd calls at 7 o’clock in the morning but you do it to my mother in law to try and reach me as well? That’s ridiculous. How her contact info was obtained from them no telling but pretty sure that’s illegal harassment lol

Legal debt collection calls can be made from 8 am to 9 pm your time unless you tell them otherwise.  You already have a start on an FDCPA lawsuit.

always leaves voice mails about the east point recovery group and i’ve never been in recovery or even heard of them

You are joking right?  Because you know that this is a debt collector so why else would you bring up "never been in recovery"?

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, email, or text (postmarked in the case of a letter) within 5 days of their first contact that contains their name, physical address, the creditor’s name, and the amount of the alleged debt. Unless they have communicated it to you verbally at the beginning of your conversation. It also must contain the “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 communication 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 communication 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.
