Number appeared on my caller ID at 5:30 pm EDT 4/30/13. I did not answer. Whoever it was left no message.

Received a call from this number this morning,  I let it go to voicemail.  A guy left a message for a person (not me) stating that he was from a collection agency and any info given would be used to collect the debt.

Answered the call but caller hung up. Blocked my number and called back. Voice mail message clearly indicates it is a collection agency. Why they would be calling me on my cell number is baffling since, like most, it's against the law to do so, it's registered as a DNC number, and I happen to have one of the highest FICO scores anyone can have so it's not like anyone is looking to collect a debt from me to begin with. Other than my mortgage, I am completely debt free.

Yes, this is the Bureau of Account Management. They are also known as BAM or Out Tech. They are a collections agency. They are also a company that contracts with charities/organizations/political groups to provide those computer automated phone messages (that you get a lot of around election time). For those who said they got a call from an actual person after hours - that is bull. They lock their doors by 8:30 pm. I used to work in that building, so I know. They also are not open on weekends. They are a good company that is just trying to collect a debt on behalf of a client. If you question your social security # being used as a reference - that is not their doing. They are giving the account/reference # provided to them by their client. Again, I can tell you this because I am looking at a collection notice I received from them for a small medical bill that I had overlooked (embarrassing because I know people there, so I"m hoping none have to actually call me). I compared it to the doctor's office bill, and the reference # is exactly the same.

Just got a call tonight from this number. I don't owe anybody any money that's in collection so I know this us BS. Whoever you are..stop calling me!

He called me and he left a message that my wife must pay a some kind of bill, I did ask her, she said that all our bills are paid off,
I will see if he will call me back.

As an FYI, never pay any caller who refuses/can't/won't MAIL proof that the alleged debt is yours and proof that they have the legal right to collect said debt.  Refusal to mail this documentation - a bill or invoice is not proof - is a violation of the FDCPA (Fair Debt Collection Practices Act).  

The problem with phone calls is, numbers can be spoofed or hidden, so you can never be absolutely sure of who you're talking to.  Again, never pay unless they mail documentation proving you owe a debt to them.

Interesting - Got a call from this number and message on my voice mail told me to call or legal proceedings would occur. Also ended the call with have a blessed day. When I called the person said it was the I.R.S.  I said I got a call from this number and he replied he must have gotten the wrong number.

Your a moron.

A Collection Agent May Not…

Here are the top 11 actions prohibited by the The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act:

Misrepresent Him or Herself

  A debt collector may not misrepresent himself as an attorney or law enforcement officer.

Use the Telephone to Annoy or Harass

  A collection agent may not cause a telephone to ring or engage any person in telephone conversation repeatedly or continuously with an intent to annoy, abuse, or harass anyone at the called number.

Threaten Arrest or Lawsuit

  A collection agent may not threaten a consumer with arrest. It may not threaten legal action that is either not permitted or not actually contemplated. In other words, a the threat of a lawsuit may be an empty one.

Use Abusive or Threatening Language

  A debt collector may no use abusive or profane language in the course of communication related to the debt.

Publish a Bad Debt List

  Publishing the consumer’s name or address on a "bad debt" list is prohibited.

Contact By Embarrassing Media

  A debt collector may not communicate with a consumer by post card. It may not use any language or symbol, other than the debt collector’s address, on any envelope when communicating with a consumer by use of the mails or by telegram. A debt collector may use its business name if such name does not indicate it is in the debt collection business.

Contact a Consumer at Work

  A collection agent may not communicate with consumers at their place of employment after being told this is unacceptable or prohibited by the employer.

Seek Unjustifiable Amounts

  A debt collector may not demand any amounts not permitted under an applicable contract or as provided under law.

Contact a Consumer Represented by an Attorney

  A collection agent may not contact a consumer after it learns the consumer is represented by a lawyer.

Communicate With a Consumer After Receiving a Validation Request

  If a consumer sends a written §1692g response within 30 days, the collection agent may not communicate with the consumer until it mails the consumer the requested verification of original creditor's name and address.

Communicate With Third Parties

  A debt collector may not reveal or discuss the nature of a consumer’s debts with third parties other than the consumer’s spouse or attorney. A collection agent may contact neighbors or co-workers only to obtain location information. It may contact a third party again if it has reason to believe the information the party provided previously is false.

Bills.com FDCPA FAQ

Below are questions Bills.com readers ask frequently:

Can a Collection Agent Call My Cell Phone?

  Yes. However, if you tell the debt collector it may not use that number because it is a cell phone, it may not contact you again at that number.

I Keep Receiving Dozens of Calls From Collection Agents. Is That Legal?

  No. Unscrupulous collection agents will use "block parties" or "office parties" where they contact a consumer, multiple neighbors, or co-workers telling them they need to reach the consumer on an urgent matter. This is not permitted under the FDCPA.

A Collector Says I Will Be Arrested if I Do Not Pay

  This was a true statement before the US Civil War, but has not been true since. People may be arrested if an aggressive judge files a bench warrant for a person who does not appear at a hearing relating to a lawsuit regarding a debt. However, in that case, the offense is the failure to respond to a court order, and not the existence of the debt. As stated above, it is illegal under the FDCPA to threaten a consumer with arrest if the consumer does not pay the debt.

And you're an imbecile who [***] up third grade grammar/spelling!

Your no better! Reported!

Said that they were a "debt collector" but I have no outstanding debts. I'm caught up. Besides I don't answer numbers I don't know. Last time I did I almost paid a debt for a card that was paid up. When I asked back then for the name I hung up and called the card, and found out I was right about not owing one single dime. So, advising all don't be stupid. If you want to give money away do it for those that need it and aren't scammers
