800-817-8565

A Recorded message that starts in the middle and began  with " ... pending. Please call (800) 817 8565... " then message repeats.  The caller states that he is  " Robert Young" from Bridgeport Financial and that there is an important matter pending, and to call this number. I've been receiving this message on my landline sporadic. In doing some research online, it seems that Bridgeport Financial is a"debt collector". I have no outstanding debt. No idea how or where they got my number. I have not called "them" back. I've also doubled check my credit history to see if my information has been compromised-nothing.

I have Xfinity Voice and I never answer my home phone. Multiple pre-recorded messages that start in the middle of a sentence "Back at 800-817-8565 thank you. Hello my name is Roger Young I'm with Bridgeport financial of an item that needs your immediate attention. Please call me back at 800-817-8565 once again this item is pending and he needs your attention. Call me back at 800-817-8565 thank you".

Same thing here. I think I called them back a year or so ago and they claimed I took out a payday loan like 9 years ago and never paid it back. I told them to never call me again, but I get the calls sporadically. Don't respond to them, it's sketchy

Tired of the harassing phone calls.

Received the following voice mail, recording started in the middle “_⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_ call me back at 800-817-8565 thank you my name is Roger Younger _⁠_⁠_⁠_ _⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_ _⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_ _⁠_⁠_ _ _⁠_ need your immediate attention please call me back at 800-817-8565 once again this item is pending and he needs your attention call me back at 800-817-8565 thank you…”

same reco message,  but I could have when I was younger and thought maybe something was missed. Glad I checked because I'm not paying anyone squat. 200%+ in interest fees ya right.

Spam calls.
said he has an important item that needs my attention.

Looks like they are in California:  http://www.bridgeportfinancial.com/about_us.html

Interesting that the BBB gives them a B- rating with one complaint but lists them in San Francisco:  https://www.bbb.org/us/ca/san-francisco/profi ... -inc-1116-17573

California Dept. of State has this on them:

However the first registration they submitted to the state was for Christina Ann Harbridge at 40 Mirabel Avenue, San Francisco, Ca 94100

In any case, to stop the calls you should do the following:

You will need to send them a certified, return receipt debt validation (by law they have to go back to the original creditor to prove you owe the debt), cease and desist calling, or "not me" letter (this will be the best money that you have ever invested).  Also send it first class mail in case no one will sign for it.  Make a notation of that fact at the bottom of the letter.  You also need to report them to the proper agencies to which I have provided links to.  Then you need to go out and get a consumer lawyer to sue them on a contingency basis (no money out of your pocket) and let them pay you for the harassment.  If everyone did these three things, these crooks would be bankrupt, and we would all be the richer for it.  Use these web sites to find an attorney in your state that will probably take the case on a contingency basis (no money out of your pocket up front):  http://www.consumeradvocates.org/

Everything else you need to know follows including at least two or more federal and state agencies where you should report their criminal activities.

It is incumbent upon them under the law to prove that the debt exists and that you owe it, and (this is the important part) that they have the legal right to collect it.  You are not obligated under the law to prove that you don’t owe or that it is paid.  

Federal law (FDCPA) requires them to send you a letter (US MAIL ONLY) postmarked within 5 days of their first contact that contains their name, physical address, the creditor’s name, and the amount of the alleged debt. It also must contains “mini-Miranda” telling you that it is an attempt to collect a debt and that all information will be used for those purposes.  The one other important thing that this letter must also have in it is that you have a right to dispute the debt within 30 days of receipt of the letter and if you do so, all collection activity must be stopped until the debt is verified.  If and when you get that letter you should immediately send that debt validation letter by certified, return receipt mail.

First, you should make a complaint at this Federal Agency, and while there you should also read up on how debt collection is supposed to work as well as what your rights in this matter are: https://www.consumerfinance.gov/

Also file complaints with the FTC: https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/#crnt&panel1-1

Also file a complaint with your State Attorney General's office.
