See if your employer will install a call-blocker.  Send these people a cease and desist order.  Ask for a debt validation letter.  Must be by US mail.  E-mail no good. You can google out sample requests for cease and desist orders.  Get the debt validation letter first.  Also , don't pick up on numbers you do not recognize.

The person calling me does speak english very well. Ok, at all.  I cannot understand a thing she said.  I told her to have someone who speaks English call me.  That was 2 weeks ago.  The same person called me back again today.

It is illegal by law to send someone to the house to collect on a debt!

I am getting calls from an out of area on Caller ID however, the number on the CID is my own home number  Tricky [***]

This number just called me, I let it go to voice mail as I don't answer any number I don't know. checked the voicemail, found...  umm, heavy breathing with someone talking one cubicle over?  Does this count as a debt collector call, a prank call, or someone was looking for a good time??  I'm thinking it was the first and "he" thought it was a land line and I would pick up a corded receiver to get the harassment started on this Sunday (violation right there) afternoon.  I'm not a 900 line so option 3 was a misdial, poor person waiting to enter a CC number.... used to be disgusted but moments like this give a little amusement, thought I could share a slight smile in the fight against garbage debt collectors.  ;-)

I realize this dates back to 2013. But telling a collection agency does nothing 99.99% of the time. I know this because I had number that must have belonged to those in debt. No matter how many times I explained they had the wrong number, they continued  to call.
Nice try though.

Unfortunately debt collection companies are known to call outdated numbers and they continue calling even after you tell them so. I am not sure what is going with the calls you are receiving. But I agree that finding the humor in these calls is a better option.

Someone earlier in this thread identified this company as Midland Credit management in San Diego.  It is interesting to note that the BBB has given this company a B+ rating with 1,232 complaints in the last three years and a class action lawsuit in the works.  Note also that their business address seems to be someone's back yard:

By the way I reported the troll.

Maybe they are working in an outhouse.

this 800 265-8865 keeps calling my phone number saying i owe money but ive need had owned a credit card

If your using a cell phone with call forwarding get the phone number to the whitehouse and forward it to the president after all its only fair that he understands how annoying debt collection can be

They called me today for about the 50th time, I told them I filed for bankruptcy.  He tried telling me I had to send him papers..I wanted to give him my case#.  He wouldn't take it.  Finally, I gave him my lawyer's name, phone#..he wanted me to send papers again..I said if you have any questions call my atty.  He cut that short..ok, bye.

This Company called today and asked to speak to my husband's EX-Wife.  They have not been married since 1999, and he and I have been together for the past 11 years.  She apologized for the call, and said she would remove our number.  It is not the first time she has used us a a reference for her, without our knowledge or permission.  This is also not the first creditor to call here looking for her.  I wish something could be done to go after people like her that cause so many of us grief.  

I keep getting a phone call about an old bill from along time ago. Like 10 years ago. Pressing me to pay it off with a check or credit card. The guy said that i could make small payment with check or credit card. He kept going on and on. I told him i couldnt do it at this time. I had to hang up on him cause didnt know what no ment at this time.

My guess would be that the MCM predictive dialer lit up your line and sent your connection to a phone drone who didn't realize he was "on the air". From various sources I have a few of these dud calls archived, in which the "message" recorded is, for example, a whole minute of call center chatter and heavy exhales into a headset mic.

Anyway, if the time-wasting call came from a debt collector, that's good enough for me to mention in my civil complaint if I think I have FDCPA claims. Of course, you can't tell from that one "breather" if you were the hunted party or someone else.

First thing, if the account at issue was part of your discharge, you shouldn't be getting a junk debt call barrage in the first place. Muzzling collectors is one of the reasons you pay a BK attorney and visit a judge. Second, the conversation needed to end the moment that agent was given your lawyer's contact data. Rather he tried to interfere with your FDCPA right to hand off the problem to your attorney, the guy you're paying to handle trash like this. Somewhere in this story you may have cause to sue MCM.

So I take it you two and the ex-wife have traded notes on all your financial transactions for eleven years, and that's how you can confirm without doubt that Hubby's name continues to be used as a loan reference. You've shared each other's credit reports and credit applications all this time? No? Let's try this a different way.

Lawbreaking junk debt collectors like Midland like to play this cute game of setting people against each other, claiming that you're a loan reference and that's the excuse for bombing you all month for someone else's alleged debts. The calls are meant for a person they *already know how to contact*, but they pretend she has vanished from the Earth. Yet their awesome powers of detection reveal to them distant family members, former spouses, former roommates, former mistresses, high school gym teachers, and a neighbor's pet mole rat.

Sure, there might be some moldy account which names Hubby and/or the Ex, but it may be invalid, uncollectable, or past its "sue-by date". Certainly it's nothing a bank is waiting on. That debt was sold off and made into another junk debt poker chip. If MCM bluffs and bullies enough, the dirt-cheap account will score a huge profit for the debt buyer only.

In short, you might be getting angry at the wrong party, just as MCM planned, so that you wouldn't think to simply tell the agency to knock off the skiptracing act, preferably by USPS Certified.

I received a call from 800.265.8825. He said his name was "Simon Hewitt" at MCM and he said that he needed to speak with me about a debt. Yeah, whatever "Simon".I took his number and added his # to my blocked calls.

This person said his name was John Washington. He was not American though. He wanted to know if I was going to be home today to receive my check for $932,000.00 and wanted to know my address. I asked him who he was trying to reach and he said the owner of this number. I asked him the name of the person he was trying to reach and he hung up on me. Scam

We got a call from a collector looking for my husband's ex wife. i told them in no uncertain terms that they had the wrong person, the wrong phone number and the wrong address. Also that she's NEVER lived at this address, NEVER had this phone number and they have been divorced for 15 years. i didn't give them her contact information though because I have nothing against the woman.
