770-874-6800

I receive calls from this number.  They leave a message, but it is a recording that is cut off and does not identify the caller.

Received a call from this number but my phone never rang.  Message left to call between business hours.  Beginning of message could not be understood due to it being cut off

I keep receiving calls from this number and most of the time I keep saying "hello" "hello" no one replies while sometime I can hear some disturbance but no voice.

What is this?

It's an "automatic dialer" machine that is used by Durham & Durham law firm (and many other similarly related companies) and they are trying to contact the individual listed at the phone number to notify them about a debt and most likely going for arbritration/ litigation.  If they identify as an attorney, they are not collecting but most likely going to court on it.  The message is often cut off because it is configured correctly to wait for the "beep" at the end of the answering machine message.  A message gets left because most likely, there is no one available at the call center to connect the dialed number with so a message gets left.

9 times out of 10, one can Google these numbers as they appear on the caller ID (including dashes) and if this web site doesn't show up for questionable numbers that have been received, then the company information will come up.  If it doesn't, the next move would be to hit up Searchbug.com and check if the number is a "Landline or cell phone".  If cell phone, most likely, you won't find anything.  If landline, then keep looking, it'll be found somehow/ somewhere

recently changed my oldest childs cell phone, and we started recieving calls from the Durham & Durham agency (from 770-874-6800). i finally got through to one of the agents and explained my problem - the agent was extremely rude as if i should just put up with the phone calls and go away. the rude Durham & Durham Agent then said it would take 48 hours to have my number removed. I wonder if it is legal for them to tell me that they are looking for robert rodriguez to collect a debt. Maybe the agent will get a life one day.

Yes! This company is extremely rude. They continue to call my company and every time we respond they say they cannot find anything about our business in their files. Their automatic dialer calls us multiple times a day and they say they don't know why! The calls keep coming and they don't care!

Same here. Why not just return the favor? You have speed dial too, don't you?

I kept receiving calls to my company-issued Blackberry phone from Durham & Durham.  I was finally able to return their call during normal business hours.  I explained the situation and they were very polite and prompt about removing my number and said the calls should stop within 48 hours.  They had the number as being owned by someone named "Christine X", so she probably just cancelled her phone number.

I used to get these calls very often and could hardly reply back since it was mostly automated calls. The 770-874-6800 was mostly unreachable during office hours. So i called the toll free number mentioned by "perturbed" in his message. It worked and they were polite and said they would take my number off the list. Hopefully some peace at the end of it :)

I've been receiving 1-2 calls on my home phone/week since Spring 2007.  With the second call on my answering machine, I called back, reached someone who said they were looking for "Christine" about an unpaid bill.  I assured her that I knew no one by that name and that they had the wrong number. She promised to have my number removed within 48 hours.  Here we are in January 2008.  I receive the calls at 2:00am, 6:00am, any time of day.  I'm in the same time zone as them.

I'm going to file a complaint with the Georgia Bar Association, linked above. I'm just waiting for a return call from THEM now.

I think this may relate to my adult son who lives in Georgia and has nothing to do with me.

I  am on the do not call registry but will reaffirm my number is still on the list.  This is the only number that calls me repeatedly : 770 874-6800

I get this calls constantly .. when are they going to get the idea that im not paying!!! .. I told them emergency medicaid was going to cover .. I dont care about my credit .. never had it .. never will!!!=-

brand new number on new cellphone, so obviously not me....get calls and voice mails from these people...emailing them to see if it will stop

This is an unsolicited phone call to me cell phone. Stop calling!!!

This law office has been harassing me for over six months now.  We have never received a letter from them regarding any debt we owe (according to Clark Howard, you should never call back or speak to a debt collector if they haven't sent you something in writing), so i just ignore the calls.

This is an autodialer system with a  recorded message that they change (only the woman's name) every few months.  Based on the frequency and the timing of the calls, the program is something like this:  3+ phone calls per day at specific times that are known to be typical meal times (typically around 8 am, breakfast, 12 pm, noon, and 6pm, dinner).  You cannot speak with a person if you pick up the phone (briefly they had an option, "to speak to a live person, press 1" that would cause the caller to hang up on you).  The message I receive goes like this: "This is [a first name, female, to garbled to understand] from the law offices of Durham & Durham. [some garble] give us a call back at [garble]."

The thing about the Do Not Call Registry:  My phone number has been on it since 2004!!!  I filed a complaint with them, but I read their FAQ and debt collectors may be slipping through a loophole.  

I'm currently waiting on a call back from the State Bar, as I, too am placing an official complaint against this law firm (note that they have no blemishes on their record with the Bar as of yet).

I called them to remove my number from their autodialer and they were extremely nice and helpful.  She did say it would take 48 hrs and apologized for any trouble.
