8008254425

Every time I answer I hear background noise like a large office. They don't get on the phone right away. When I hear that "background" noise I hang up right away because I know it is some "degenerate" call center.

I received a call from them today. It showed up on the caller id as The Palace!!

I keep receiving calls form 1-800-825-4425 on my work phone. Come on this is a business phone, I do not have time for playing games, I need to work. Every time I answer it is a robo call, it tells you to wait for the next available operator, so I do, then the call disconnects. I can't even find out who they want or tell them to stop. So I just want to say enough already!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Very rude "customer service rep" would not identify the purpose of the call.....seemed very elusive and instantly became nervous sounding when asked any questions as to who they were.....smells like a scam to me

Well, about a week ago I began getting calls from this number. Since I am at work I don't answer, and since they leave no message, I don't call back. Today I went to their website and emailed them, asking them to either leave me a detailed message, or to cease calling me. We'll see if it works.

They HAVE to ID themselves!!!  That's illegal right there by every last bit of the like 5 laws and rules that cover telemarketing and collections.  If they refuse to provide their Company Name and at least their first name or ID # then you can dump the call and say whatever you'd like to them.

BS Collection Agency that HAS to identify themselves.  Refusal violates laws.
Immediately hang up on them and send them a Cease & Desist letter (see
below) and if they keep it up - get a lawyer and sue them for $1,500 a call.

Someone from this number called my (elderly) mom and told her they were ADT (which she does not have) and told her she owed money. Since she doesn't use ADT, this is impossible. I believe if she were totally on her own, they might would have convinced her to give them her credit card info. It upsets me that so many take advantage of the elderly.

This sounds a lot like calls I was getting from a company in Oregon who was a collection agency looking for one of their deadbeats. I reported them to the Attorney General but it appears that the calls are starting again under another number.

If a debt is charged off.. why are they trying to collect it? Why doesn’t  the lender try to collect it? Has 5/3 sold it to Apelles?
I don’t understand.. they want a monthly payment.. but reporting it is charged off... Something strange..
If I don’t make the monthly payment.. will Apelles sue me or 5/3 ?  Or anyone?

I keep getting calls from Apelles 877-825-4490 not sure who they are.

We keep getting calls from this number. No messages left at all.
The caller id shows The Palace 800-825-4425.
I simply refuse to answer such calls, if they are legit they'd leave a message.

This is a Collection Company.
Never heard of them; and they did not leave a message.
So, I did a little research, in case anyone wants to pester THEM:
Their contacts are listed, as follows:

APELLES
3700 Corporate Drive
Suite 240
Columbus, OH 43231
Toll-Free: (800) 825-4425
Local: (614) 899-7322

Caller ID said The Palace.  I wasn't home to take the call, no message left.  Even if I was home, I don't answer numbers or Caller ID i'm not familiar with.  They can call someone who cares.

We keep getting a call from this number and the caller id says the palace.

I have had my same number for the past 20 years. Suddenly, this number that says, "The Palace" starts calling my landline every morning. I see here where some people say the caller is a collection agency; we; I have no credit....meaning I do but I have zero balances. I owe no one anything; no one but Jesus Christ Himself

was a collection caller looking for previous phone number holder, but I was bored and wasted their time for about 10 minutes. I learned the name of the person, city, street address and a family members name. you know I apologized about being unemployed and unable to pay the bill till I get my next day-labor job at the kill shelter next week. but hey... things are looking up. I woke up under a park bench and phatt girl with no underwear on was sitting over me. they hung up after that... I don't know why... Giggle

The number is a collection agency for Banks. Here is the info:

This is the house the head criminal lives in:  https://www.google.com/maps/place/691+Southbl ... d325025!6m1!1e1
Federal law (FDCPA) requires them to send you a letter (US MAIL ONLY) 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.
