I receive a call from 1-800-706-3210 about every 3 days. They give me a reference number, 81236, to refer to when I call. I use the pay as you go plan from Cingular and it cost me a dime everytime I check my messages, and it is irritating when it is from this number.

Several calls received from 1-800-706-3210 sometimes twice or more per day. They also leave a reference number to use if I call return their call. They are usually from a "Sandra" but sometimes they are from an unidentified male. I feel this is a debt collection call, but since I have never returned their calls, I am not sure. I never answer calls from numbers I do not recognize.

I just received a call from a "Mr. Ferguson", who was looking for one of our employees.  He gave me this number, with the extension 523 & a reference number.  He claimed to have "lost her home phone number", and would I give her the message to call him.  Having run across these scammers more than once in the past, I immediately Googled the number.  Heh.

Bet "Mr. Ferguson" lives in Colorado.

Eagle Recovery & Professional Debt Collections=caller originator trying to collect on debts owed. Also shows on CID as: 309-272-4500.
Have called several times to my number looking for a Nathanial Wingate (nobody loan him money!!!) that is supposed to live around Knoxville, TN.
I believe they are a bunch of idiots that have tried to call my number for the last 3 years (as it was a US Cellular reissued ph#) and don't have enough sense to make reference that I'm not him!  Advise them that the FCC allows to advise them if you are not removed from their calling list & repeat calls persist, it is harassment and they can be fined $500 per call.

Just got called from 1-800-706-3210 ext 517 looking for my daughter, who works for me.  This call came to my business office.  They left a reference number and asked that I forward their number to my daughter, not likely.  I'm so tired of these callers and the one that calls both my husband's and my cell phones wanting to sell us a car warranty, even though I have registered both our numbers on the "do not call" list.  Very aggravating.

Having received automated phone calls every couple of days for several weeks (with no information identifying who was calling and no option to be removed from their calling list) looking for someone who did not live here, today I finally received a call (from 309-670-0319 which is also Eagle Recovery Associates) from a real person (who neither identified themselves or the company).  I informed them that said person was not at this number and that I wished to be removed from their list.  The caller then informed me that they were not trying to sell anything, my guess in an attempt to have the do-not-call list not apply to them.  I informed the caller that their automated system had been calling every couple of days for several weeks, and tried to tell then that any further calls would be consider harassment and thus be relayed to the FTC, however, in the middle of this the called claimed I was being rude and hung up on me.

Debt Collection FAQs: A Guide for Consumers
If you’re behind in paying your bills, or a creditor’s records mistakenly make it appear that you are, a debt collector may be contacting you.

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the nation’s consumer protection agency, enforces the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), which prohibits debt collectors from using abusive, unfair, or deceptive practices to collect from you.

Under the FDCPA, a debt collector is someone who regularly collects debts owed to others. This includes collection agencies, lawyers who collect debts on a regular basis, and companies that buy delinquent debts and then try to collect them.

Here are some questions and answers about your rights under the Act.

What types of debts are covered?
The Act covers personal, family, and household debts, including money you owe on a personal credit card account, an auto loan, a medical bill, and your mortgage. The FDCPA doesn’t cover debts you incurred to run a business.

Can a debt collector contact me any time or any place?
No. A debt collector may not contact you at inconvenient times or places, such as before 8 in the morning or after 9 at night, unless you agree to it. And collectors may not contact you at work if they’re told (orally or in writing) that you’re not allowed to get calls there.


How can I stop a debt collector from contacting me?

If a collector contacts you about a debt, you may want to talk to them at least once to see if you can resolve the matter – even if you don’t think you owe the debt, can’t repay it immediately, or think that the collector is contacting you by mistake. If you decide after contacting the debt collector that you don’t want the collector to contact you again, tell the collector – in writing – to stop contacting you. Here’s how to do that:

Make a copy of your letter. Send the original by certified mail, and pay for a “return receipt” so you’ll be able to document what the collector received. Once the collector receives your letter, they may not contact you again, with two exceptions: a collector can contact you to tell you there will be no further contact or to let you know that they or the creditor intend to take a specific action, like filing a lawsuit. Sending such a letter to a debt collector you owe money to does not get rid of the debt, but it should stop the contact. The creditor or the debt collector still can sue you to collect the debt.

Can a debt collector contact anyone else about my debt?
If an attorney is representing you about the debt, the debt collector must contact the attorney, rather than you. If you don’t have an attorney, a collector may contact other people – but only to find out your address, your home phone number, and where you work. Collectors usually are prohibited from contacting third parties more than once. Other than to obtain this location information about you, a debt collector generally is not permitted to discuss your debt with anyone other than you, your spouse, or your attorney.

What does the debt collector have to tell me about the debt?
Every collector must send you a written “validation notice” telling you how much money you owe within five days after they first contact you. This notice also must include the name of the creditor to whom you owe the money, and how to proceed if you don’t think you owe the money.

Can a debt collector keep contacting me if I don’t think I owe any money?
If you send the debt collector a letter stating that you don’t owe any or all of the money, or asking for verification of the debt, that collector must stop contacting you. You have to send that letter within 30 days after you receive the validation notice. But a collector can begin contacting you again if it sends you written verification of the debt, like a copy of a bill for the amount you owe.


What practices are off limits for debt collectors?

Harassment. Debt collectors may not harass, oppress, or abuse you or any third parties they contact. For example, they may not:

use threats of violence or harm;
publish a list of names of people who refuse to pay their debts (but they can give this information to the credit reporting companies);
use obscene or profane language; or
repeatedly use the phone to annoy someone.

False statements. Debt collectors may not lie when they are trying to collect a debt. For example, they may not:

falsely claim that they are attorneys or government representatives;
falsely claim that you have committed a crime;
falsely represent that they operate or work for a credit reporting company;
misrepresent the amount you owe;
indicate that papers they send you are legal forms if they aren’t; or
indicate that papers they send to you aren’t legal forms if they are.

Debt collectors also are prohibited from saying that:

you will be arrested if you don’t pay your debt;
they’ll seize, garnish, attach, or sell your property or wages unless they are permitted by law to take the action and intend to do so; or
legal action will be taken against you, if doing so would be illegal or if they don’t intend to take the action.

Debt collectors may not:

give false credit information about you to anyone, including a credit reporting company;
send you anything that looks like an official document from a court or government agency if it isn’t; or
use a false company name.

Unfair practices. Debt collectors may not engage in unfair practices when they try to collect a debt. For example, they may not:

try to collect any interest, fee, or other charge on top of the amount you owe unless the contract that created your debt – or your state law – allows the charge;
deposit a post-dated check early;
take or threaten to take your property unless it can be done legally; or
contact you by postcard.

Can I control which debts my payments apply to?
Yes. If a debt collector is trying to collect more than one debt from you, the collector must apply any payment you make to the debt you select. Equally important, a debt collector may not apply a payment to a debt you don’t think you owe.

Can a debt collector garnish my bank account or my wages?
If you don’t pay a debt, a creditor or its debt collector generally can sue you to collect. If they win, the court will enter a judgment against you. The judgment states the amount of money you owe, and allows the creditor or collector to get a garnishment order against you, directing a third party, like your bank, to turn over funds from your account to pay the debt.

Wage garnishment happens when your employer withholds part of your compensation to pay your debts. Your wages usually can be garnished only as the result of a court order. Don’t ignore a lawsuit summons. If you do, you lose the opportunity to fight a wage garnishment.

Can federal benefits be garnished?
Many federal benefits are exempt from garnishment, including:

Social Security Benefits
Supplemental Security Income (SSI) Benefits
Veterans’ Benefits
Civil Service and Federal Retirement and Disability Benefits
Service Members’ Pay
Military Annuities and Survivors’ Benefits
Student Assistance
Railroad Retirement Benefits
Merchant Seamen Wages
Longshoremen’s and Harbor Workers’ Death and Disability Benefits
Foreign Service Retirement and Disability Benefits
Compensation for Injury, Death, or Detention of Employees of U.S. Contractors Outside the U.S.
Federal Emergency Management Agency Federal Disaster Assistance
But federal benefits may be garnished under certain circumstances, including to pay delinquent taxes, alimony, child support, or student loans.

Do I have any recourse if I think a debt collector has violated the law?
You have the right to sue a collector in a state or federal court within one year from the date the law was violated. If you win, the judge can require the collector to pay you for any damages you can prove you suffered because of the illegal collection practices, like lost wages and medical bills. The judge can require the debt collector to pay you up to $1,000, even if you can’t prove that you suffered actual damages. You also can be reimbursed for your attorney’s fees and court costs. A group of people also may sue a debt collector as part of a class action lawsuit and recover money for damages up to $500,000, or one percent of the collector’s net worth, whichever amount is lower. Even if a debt collector violates the FDCPA in trying to collect a debt, the debt does not go away if you owe it.

What should I do if a debt collector sues me?
If a debt collector files a lawsuit against you to collect a debt, respond to the lawsuit, either personally or through your lawyer, by the date specified in the court papers to preserve your rights.

Where do I report a debt collector for an alleged violation?
Report any problems you have with a debt collector to your state Attorney General’s office (www.naag.org) and the Federal Trade Commission (www.ftc.gov). Many states have their own debt collection laws that are different from the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. Your Attorney General’s office can help you determine your rights under your state’s law.

Hobie

FINE THEM QUICKLY

everyone should go to google and find a website that offers wake up calls, then give them their number and pick a random date, along with a very early wake up time, and they will be called by them at these strange hours and annoyed.

It's a debt collector, they collect debts people owe for medical expenses that haven't been paid. They had all the correct information and even worked with me.

Because of all of the paper involved and how long it takes for my insurance to pay, I usually wait for Eagle Recovery to call before I pay.  Their messages suck, though.

Funny - Just got a call.  Google Voice transcribed their name as "Evil Recovery Associates."

How ironic.

Just got 6 missed calls all 1 right after the other at my place of employment from this number. Thank goodness I have Caller ID. I never Answer 800 numbers. Nor any number I dont know.

Just received a call at both my cell and home phones. Only one message left, telling me to call back. Called back and first agent hung up on me after I said I would only confirm my address if he was able to provide it. Called back again and got a more understanding agent.  He could not pull up their own account from the home phone, but finally did so after I gave my cell phone (I figured they had just called it anyway). It was for a bill under $50 for my service at my old address with Consolidated Communications, a telephone company, which I maintain we do not owe. I paid it just to get rid of the harassment. I hate these kinds of operations.

wow/they called us/hell we are OBANION COLLECTION COMPANY/////for the southeast///////our staff got a good laugh out of it/////but we servive there area now//////////and we are paying a visit////////we dont use phones//////////you brought upon your selves////this will be a real good visit

Someone from this number posed as a Human Resource Personnel looking for me.  My Boss awnsered the phone and this number was on her caller ID.  They would not leave a message as to why they were calling.  My boss emailed me and said it was odd that the number did not match our human resource number.  I have been a victum of identity theft and I need to report this number.

This company is legit, the people complaining are mad because they owe a bill and get confused as to how the collectors obtain the information. (when you fill out the doctors form, collectors get that too)
