For over a year now they have been calling my cell phone and asking for someone named Richard something. I really have no idea who they want and have told them that nicely. Sometimes they only call once a week, sometimes it is several times in a day. They always seem polite and say they will quit calling, buy they don't. My cell phone voice mail box gives my real name, so they should know who they are calling is who I say I am. Do they think that as the years go by and senility starts to set in I might accidently slip up and say that sometime in my past life I knew somebody by the name Richard. I’d hate to think of the number of calls I’d get if that happened. I’d have to throw my phone in the river.

Does anyone know of an effective way to make them stop? Reasoning doesn’t work, pleading doesn’t work. Changing my number would be a nuisance. Am I plagued with these [***] until I give up and change my cell number?

As far as Sara's note about how much she enjoyed working with these scumbags, she should give all of us her phone number. That way the next time they call we can say the person they are looking for has moved and give her number to them.

i got a call from someone named mark & he was very rude

I have been called over 50 times (this is not an exaggeration).  We have told them to stop calling.  They are rude, attempt to intimidate, give out information they should not.  I understand they have to deal with dead beats, but that is not my problem!!!  Stop trying to make it mine.  I called them back and asked them to remove my number, they finally after arguing with me they said they did.  Grrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!

I got a call from this number a few times. They left a vm looking for the previous owner of my home. I spoke to a person on the phone, advised that the person they are trying to find moved. The person on the phone was respectful and pleasent, advised they would remove my telephone number from the file.

I get alot of calls from collection agencies for the previous owner of my home. Some are not pleasent but in this one case they were.

i agree with the other post. He/ She is certainly an employer of LHR. LHR arre some of the rudest bunch of ppl that i have ever dealt with on any situation, and they are certainly the most unprofessional. I guess that will explain MOST of their debts are never paid, LHR are a bunch of rude [***], who need some one on one in customer service.!!!!!

I got a call from a Mark, who left a message that he is looking for my neighbor across the street and would I please deliver him the messsage to call him back-is this legal?

Ok so these stupid LHR people are about to drive me CRAZY! They call me every single day 10-12 times a day.  If I dont answer they hang up and call right back 4 or 5 times in a row. They were calling from there many numbers but have now started blocking the number! They are the rudest bunch of people I have ever talked to. They called my brothers house and threatened to take me to court or to "sue the fire" out of me if he didnt give them my phone number!

This agency is calling at all different hours.  A male voice speaks so low
and softly until they mention a call-back number.  I have no clue why they are calling me and want it to STOP!

yeah you would want to represent the dead beats that dont pay their bills then get mad when someone who has a job has to do their job and get these dead beats to pay.  Lawyers are scum

I have received several calls from these people at LHR the last one was  
866-473-1001  ext 4331 Mr. Morales.

I have also seen that they have 716-648-3240 and 800-616-5473.
They called and on the caller ID it was a 602 number which would be Phoenix, Arizona. Are they also located in Arizona also? I am in Kansas City, Missouri and I don’t know the person they are trying to collect from. How can I stop the calls? I have told them several times they don’t live here and you have the wrong number.
I hate the fact that they are telling people to pay there bills and they are not even the original creditor. I understand if it was LHR that gave the client the loan and their collectors were calling. It wasn’t LHR that lent the money, so when a collector from LHR says pay your bill. I would say what bill???? I don’t owe LHR any money. Its their business to “key word” TRY to collect a bad debt they bought in hopes to make money. The original creditor already charged off the debt. If they put any 3rd party collections on your credit report you can have it removed. I know this because I have helped people in the past clean their credit. You have to word it correctly. It will effect your credit if you pay a 3rd party collector because they have to update it as paid in full and it shows you are admitting gilt. LHR buys debt in pools, this means they will buy 2500 accounts for a very low price. $1000 account for under $100. This gives them a cushion to resell the account at $250 and still make a profit after a year of trying to collect. That is an $150 profit multiplied at 2500 “because this is the amount of account they bought in a pool” $150x2500= $375,000 in profit for LHR.
Bottom line is don’t ever pay them! They are not the original creditors you owed. They wrote it off as a bad debt and it’s done! LHR are snakes that hires kids (18 to 27) and brainwash them by telling them everyone they call is a deadbeat and they need to pay up. They act tough over the phone but if you put that person they disrespected with the collector in a room, the collector would have his azz handed to twice.

I made a silent ringtone so everytime they call I don't hear them. you can download it here http://audiko.net/ringtone/Bill+Collector+Rin ... ingtone/en.html

These Jerks have called my mother in laws house like 3 weeks ago and told her that they are an attorney.  So she called me freaked out and and I went online and saw this website and read the comments and told her they are full of crap.  Then 3 days ago they called her again and she ripped into them and told them they shouldn't of lied to her.  But he said he could help us and to have me call...well I didn't because we are looking at our options.  Well she called to day and they called her again and she said to call them because they are going to take my house.  So I called and they wanted me pay 1000.00 a month how is that helping.  They tried settling and say if I got my mother in laws credit card they would take half off.  But how could I do that she doesn't have that kind of money.  So I called them back and told them I couldn't do that and I would call them back on Monday.  Well 2 hours later my mother in law calls me and said they called her again and would settle it for 1/4 of my debt if she gave them her credit card.  I called back wondering why they called her agian and how did she know the specifics on how much we owe and for what company.  They said well she says she took over your finaces so we gave her the info.....hell no...they can't do that.  They have to have something in writing.  So when I told him that he got mad and said no more Mr. nice guy now it is Mr. Mean guy.....WHAT....how mature.  Then said forget everything you and your husband need to get and attorney.  So I called my mother in law and said he wouldn't even talk to me, he only wants to talk to her, but she isn't on the debt at all.  How is that possible.  I think they are all full of S&%@.  Oh well....if I were you guys I would just not pick up they are crazy

I love how these people that are working for the collections agency keep telling people to pay their bills, or get a job, or other bs.  Well, over 600,000 people have lost their jobs this year, and many are struggling to find new employment because new jobs are not being created.  I am one of those people.  I am more than willing to pay my debts, but I WILL NOT pay those debts before the roof over my daugthers head gets paid for, the food on her plate gets paid for, the electricity to keep her cozy at home is paid for, the clothes for school are paid for, and any other need she has is paid for.  I will make sacrifices for myself and my wife, but we will not pay some UNSECURED debt over paying for her needs.  Once I am able to get back in the workforce all of my creditors will start getting payments again.  I just can't stand it when people try to tell me I have to pay the debt "or else".  Do you really think I care about my credit score right now.  The only thing I care about is my family and taking care of them, so to all those creditors out there telling me I have to do this now you can kiss it because my family is a a way more important than you.

you are clearly an employee of LHR.  LHR does call on the weekends, off hours, threaten lawsuits, yell, shout, harass debtor's employers, etc.

If you idiots would pay your bills and stop crying about interest, late fees, collection fees etc. quit crying just pay your bills. Or do we have to call your mommy!!!!!!!!!!

Ignore the Collector Trolls who obviously work for LHR and have nothing better to do, than to post their droll editorials on company time....

that would not be a bad idea!!

Hey Mark, you think you're so smart!!! I don't owe you a damn thing and LHR keeps calling my house for someone else's debt!!! Why can't you people at LHR do a proper job and call the right people instead of harassing me!!!
