800-900-1372

They have been calling me for more than 3 months, they know my last name :( but not my first name. Actually, they said my brother's name, and the same thing happened, when I asked them what you want from my brother, they told: "we can't tell you, it the federal law"!!. Surprisingly, my brother have not been in the states, ever!

Same thing here.  Automoated voice.  We do owe people money, but we are wokring with an attorney to settle our debts.  We had a business and I got very sick (almst died) and we had to close.  We are doing our best to pay what we owe.  We feel we should do the right thing, but these calls are relentless.

Got a few debt collector's callas from this number  - but I have no debt! A**holes

I'm getting the same type of phone calls, about SC taxes. I believe this a scam, because i can not get anything in the mail. High pressure payment tactics. I will not pay anything without written notice.

How do I get them to stop calling my cell?  Any advice would be helpful.

my wife got a phony citation from this company (penn credit) indicating that she had a past due traffic ticket in hollywood, fl. they are just phishing for personal info.

calling to collect a debt; please contact Barbra at 800-900-1372 to avoid future calls

Twice the month of Novermber 2009 I received recording from Penn Credit Corporation collection's, Barbara Johnson.  The number is restricted as private.  And the recording cuts off before a number is left. I am positive it is a scam for money, identification and anything theives can steel without having to work for a living. I will join a suit to press charges against this crime sydicate if the talented abled persons and authorities are able to properly identify the nincompoops for their nincompoopery (footnote 1. Websters's Ninth New Collegiate Dictionary page 799).

penn credit called me I gave them fake name and adress but oddly that imagenary person had a debt also this place is a scam Please steer clear of this company and # 1(800)900-1372 place is a joke pepole who work for this company should relize in this econamy things are tough pepole don,t need to be herassed

Same "Barbara Johnson" called from 800-900-1372 and left an automated message. I called back but the number does not work and just seems engaged.

It is a scam. We need to stop these calls. Is there an agency that can identify this acller and take them to task?

I have also received calls from ole' Barbara. Uh, what can we as consumers do about this?

Recorded message called for someone who passed away several years ago.

They keep calling my home 3-4 times a day. They have the wrong person but they keep calling anyway. Reported the number to BBB but they have no record of this company. This is really making me mad. They have even called as late as 10:00

Spoke to a guy.  He would give no information when I asked that he not call.  He stated he would call whenever he wanted to.

I live in Jamaica, and they called me on my international number. I called them back but didn't get charged on my pre-paid phone.  what a PITA

They are a legitimate collection agency, which I worked for, for 2 years. They reason they aren't required to stop calling is because the bill you owe is due. As far as the name barbara johnson...when you work for a collection agency you are required to set up a false name for the collectors, and their protection. The company is on 14th st in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.

I have received two calls from an "unknown id" and ignored it.  Each time a message was then left, and I listend to the whole message the second time.  It was an automated message that asked for a bastardized version of my name, and if this was not that person then to call 1 800 720 7281 to be taken off the list, if i was this person to continue listening.  It went on to say it was from "Barbra Johnson" from Penn Credit Corporation regarding a debt collection and to call her back at 800 900 1372.  

Informed the state attorney general. Never answer an unknown number, and do not call the numbers given if you recieve a message like this.

I have been receiving calls from Penn Credit and initially they stated my name and to call them back.  One time I did and whatever action I chose made them stop calling me.  Now they are calling again stating this is an attempt to collect a debt, leaving a dollar amount, and giving me options on making my payment.  REALLY?  I work in the collections industry and it is illegal to state anything more than the company you are calling from, your name, and the phone number.  Like I'm going to just give someone $100 for a debt I have no idea about??!!  How do you make them stop calling you.  I just tried to call the number they stated to call and it was a fast busy. I wonder if they only turn it on during the week?  Crazy azz scammers.  And how in the world did they get my cell???

I have been working in collections for 10 years and it is ILLEGAL to provide a false name.  You can provide a first name and id # or such but are not required to provide your last name.  And if you are with a 3rd party collection agency you also use other tactics that are inappropriate.  Here is a link I found--http://www.penncredit.com/triangle.htm
check it out.  It says debtors have 24 hours access, that is crap, i just called and got a fast busy.  I also called during the week and was on hold so long I had to disconnect the call.  Very sketchy.  And I don't have anything unpaid that would go to collections so why do I keep getting these calls and wasting my minutes?

Thanks for the info.  I will definitely be doing what you have suggested.
