800-900-1380

We have also been receiving calls from this number for several months for many of the same reasons others have posted. It's actually for my son who has not lived here in over 7 years for an electric bill. When he called back. He got the same response everyone else did, no answered. If the call is so urgent, then someone should answer. Question for the person who returned the call and sent money, did you get the paid in full letter and has your account with the electric company been cleared?

1-800-900-1380 cameron calls one more time i'll take their [***] to court. they don't need to call when i'm on the do not call list go figure.

800-900-1380:  call this number, they will be charged.  Get lots of people to call it.  They are evil.

Another day, another call from these people looking for someone who does not work here (and yes, I've actually waited for an operator to come through, twice now, to tell them this).

This number was calling my office fax line, I called them and asked them to stop doing it and the lady was actually nice and said they would remove the number.  I was shocked at how nice they were as that never happens.

Will you be so generous of opinion when Penn calls back again next week for the same person?

If not already done, you will need to be painfully blunt with thugs like this. They hear "doesn't work here" and paint you a liar who is covering for the alleged debtor. If they hear "stop calling here" and "personal calls prohibited", there is no more wiggle room. Certified Mail is a better option for the most stubborn collection hustlers.

No, I think they'll be happy with simply taking money from the first person to break down in frustration. As many other comments here indicate, the calls may well be skip traces for some stranger.

Now that you've practiced your no-call request here, deliver it to the actual caller, which does not maintain this site or this web page.

Your experience is hardly unique. Rogue debt collectors are notoriously deaf to verbal requests. It's not so much incompetence as the policy of lawbreaking debt collectors across the industry to assume you are a liar until you give an answer which gets one paid.

My advice for "not me" cases is found here:

Take a direct approach, invoking your federal rights, as outlined here:

What I wouldn't give to be in that courtroom when you show the judge your cease-comm and their lying softsoap notice and then your call records. An easy win for you.

Uuhh, yeah, the DNC registry never stopped working, and *everyone* experienced the first spike in illegal calls in 2009. That's when cheap VOIP and number spoofing were first used by fraudulent callers to dance past the reach of Telemarketing Sales Rule prosecution. The only cold sales callers left are those who don't care for any laws, and they know they can't be sued if they can't be found.

"Nothing has been done about" your complaints because the real farce is in your failure to read and understand the terms of a service you agree to. The FTC never promised you a bullet shield from every unwanted and illegal caller. You were only given a means to revoke a *sales* caller's permission to ring your phone. Other call categories *not in sales* are *NOT COVERED* by the Telemarketing Sales Rule, the engine of the DNC. Those callers which do apply make a choice to disobey, much as you might make a choice to floor the gas pedal in spite of a speed limit sign.

None of the above was kept a secret from you. Here are the DNC service terms you were supposed to review at registration time:

Penn Credit is not a credit reprice scammer but a debt collector. As such, different rules apply. At the federal level you turn to the FDCPA, and not the TSR. Both laws declare that calls from their respective covered industries are perfectly legal "at 2045 hours on a Sunday".

If to you that feels "intrusive", moaning at home about it does no good. You have to make it Penn Credit's problem to cure, preferably with a notice sent USPS Certified with return card. Verbal demands and fighting their apparent illogic are the true wastes of your time, as yards of complaints in this thread will confirm.

I'm a British holiday maker in Orlando and staying in a townhouse. I got an automated call on Sunday evening saying that I owed over $350 which had been outstanding for some time. Has really upset my wife and kids. Assume someone is trying to scam me.

I am changing phone companies because Century Link has inherited a tape from Q-West that intrudes when one is trying to make a call, especially to the IRS at close to income tax time. As I wait for the IRS employee to come back to the line after retrieving my documents, the tape intrudes saying: "If you want to make a call, hang up and dial again." By that message, I already lost my queue with the IRS line. I wouldn't be able to get connected until another day. I have complained about that tape, which is not adding good service for its customers, but they still keep it in their system. There is no point in having that tape. Other phone companies don't have it, nor need it. So that I'm moving to Mega Path. We have freedom of choices in life, and those companies who give a deaf ear to our valid complaint will be losing unhappy customers as a result.

After being told "no personal calls" and "stop calling," with calls continuing, you're definitely correct.  It's time for a certified letter to these charmers.

Got a call from this number from someone who identified themselves as calling from Penn Credit Corporation asking to speak to my 83-year old mother.  I explained that I handled all of my mother's business affairs and they could speak to me.  The called said that they needed to have a Power of Attorney or my mother's permission to talk to me.  I explained that my mother had a stroke and was could not talk and therefore please do not call this number again.  I repeated that twice and then they hung up on me.

do not call 252-443-1167 for any reason unless you are advising me that I won $1,000,000

Buy a home and cell phone with call block. I did both a few years ago, and life is so much sweeter. Any smart phone has a free app for call block. They only get to call once.
