8008228383

What is wrong with you and all the people here that say, "I'm on the DO NOT CALL list!" That ONLY applies to telemarketers...not debt-collection companies!

Yup, that’s the phone number that’s calling my cell phone. "800-822-8383"... Without explaining what the name of the company is, they say they have an important message for you, then they put you on hold. When callers block their identification like whoever “800-822-8383" did, I normally hang up - or not answer my phone at all. My particular mood at the time persuaded me to wait on the phone to tell them to loose my phone number. After being put on hold for about 10-minutes, a message came up saying something like “all phones are busy”.

For all who have been bothered with this phone number, please remember to file a complaint (at bottom of page) - or nothing will be done about it - and people/companies like this will continue to do this more and more. Who knows what their motives are - but chances are, companies/individuals like this are up to no good. Since I can’t identify the pranker’s name, I just put the phone number in the “Caller Company/The caller that called you” window...

This phone number is NRS debt collection agency. Surprise!...

Rec'd calls from this number, finally called them back, discovered it was "Nationwide Recovery Services" via their automation. Since I owe nobody debts that aren't current in payments, I hung up long before anyone responded.

If this is about my fiancée's debt, I'm sorry, but I do not care one whit. 5 calls in under a week and 3 in a single day is unacceptable, especially with no usable messages left on voicemail. I've seen far too many debt-collection agencies that try to collect for obsolete (or already-paid) debt to trust this at all.

Will be reporting them to the FTC, etc., if they keep this up.

Considering the fact that way too many of the telemarketing firms don´t bother checking the Do Not Call registry themselves, this is a legitimate concern. And cell phone exchanges are supposed to be immune from both telemarketing AND debt-collector calls.

Both types ignore the law far too often. I have myself been threatened with lawsuits and arrest, when I owed nothing and had no delinquent debts, and this is a common practice with debt collectors, who don't care who they're calling as long as the (sometimes long-expired) debt gets paid. It's time for the FTC to step in and stomp on these companies like the dung-filled roaches they are. If there's an international trade commission, it needs to go there too, since most of these companies seem to use call centers in India... making it a case of international wire fraud.

similiar experiences, they call my number becasue they were trying to contact someone else that had my cell phone number.  PROBLEM is trying to get someone to speak to you on the telephone, you are on hold forever reagedless of what number you press and when a person comes on (Shawn for example) they then put you on hold.  I spoke to a SUPERVISOR, hopefully they will not call again.  Supervisor denies they do not answer the telephone---she must be as stupid as thye are.......

I get a call listed as "800 Service" several times a week, sometimes several times a day, on our home phone.  I never hear anything on the message but "click."  My phone records the number that called, if it is included in the Caller ID screen, and I found this one.  I found this site while Googleing it.

I get many similar calls from Caller ID "123-123-1234" and "Out of Area" which behave exactly the same way.  We are on the "No Call" list.

Phone call at 8:41 a.m. I owe no debts so I am unsure as to why I am receiving a call.  Upon call back just get a recording. I am also on the do-not call list.

keep calling that number back as 20 times in a row then they will stop calling {they get real mad }

THE laws apply to both types of calls.  THe law is the FDCPA.  The people calling you know this.  Ask them to cease all calls and letters per the FDCPA.  you can write them also.  then you can sue them.

stop calls please

I am homeless and I told ' Nationwide recovery' this. The collection comes from a hospital in Atlanta Ga. I am a veteran so my medical is free when I can get to the Va hospital. The visits to this hospital were emergencies. The last time nationwide recovery called I told them I had a lawyer and that I would sue. They wanted the name and address of the lawyer.

called ... didn't answer ... called back ... got music ... read your posts ... won't answer THAT number again!

Unreal, I went bankrupt, told them they need to stop calling me, They refuse. I was being smart about it saying I did not get anything in the mail. That female says YES WE DID SEVERAL TIMES......

All I can say is they are full of crap, if they sent paper work in the mail My laywer would be sendingthem a letter to STOP bothering me, or sueing them for harassment after the fact. They know this because to many collectors got seud already. THATS is why they never send anything in the mail, Like proof of payment you have they are trying to collect AGAIN over the phone. If they did it is fraud in itself.

Plus the stuff they are trying to collect on was already paid and I have the reciept, they refused a second time to send me by mail a request for payment with details. If they do, they will be so sorry because that is what my lawyers is waiting for to come in the mail!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just got a call from 800-822-8383.  They didn't leave a message on my answering machine.  So I simply programmed my answering machine to block that phone number (it doesn't answer that number) and to NOT ring if they ever call again.  My answering machine is a Uniden which I think I paid around $60 a few months ago for it.  Real easy way to PUT A STOP TO HARRASSING PHONE CALLS.  If they are a legitimate business conducting themselves according to all applicable laws, they can leave a message.  But when they don't, I have every right in the world to block their call AND program my answering machine to not ring. Done.  Well, I do enjoy coming here to post such phone numbers so others may know in advance if they would like to program their answering machines the same way.

They call almost daily. Also call form 469-579-4391 call center. Nationwide Recovery System. I
have no debts.

Receive several calls for these folks every week. No message is left. When we did answer, they asked for a woman "Phyllis Lathem" who does not even exist (I checked. Used to be an investigative reporter.) They got very rude and accused me of hiding information.

I don't answer calls from unknown numbers.  If it is important anyone will leave a message... I'm on the DO NOT DISTURB LIST please stop these and all out of state calls to my phone...
