>> They call 2-3 times a day. They have been doing it for months.  <<

How many times will you allow them to call before you obtain a call blocker?  Google (or your favorite search engine) is your friend.

Here is a link to a list of government sites where you can report phone scams, telephone crime, etc.

Scam spam call

A human immediately answered. Turns out they called the wrong number. The lady I spoke with was very professional and helpfully removed me from their system.

Well we know that is a lie because no one at Penn Credit is professional or helpful, and they certainly won't simply remove your number just by your asking.

I've received about one call a day from this number which directs me to press one if the person answering is me and so on.   Sick to death of them

Calling constantly for no reason and we can't get a person on the line when we pick up.  We do not have any outstanding bills.

From other posts I have read, nothing has been done to stop this company. I have received 23 messages over 4 weeks from this number!

Anyone being barraged by phone calls from Penn Credit should consider a cease and desist letter.  Also, if they are claiming a debt, demand a debt validation letter be sent to you by US mail.  E-mail no good.

In any event,

Just because someone on the phone calling you says you owe a debt does not mean you actually owe it.

If a voice on the telephone claims you owe a debt:

1.    Demand the person give you his or her name, company name, and address
2.     Demand a debt validation letter by US mail.  E-mail no good.
3.    Do not pay  the collection agent or anyone else a  dime until the debt is validated

Of course they won’t do this, no scammer ever will, so simply ignore them and block their calls.

If they are bothering you, report them:

http://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0149-debt-collection (Threatening civil proceedings with no intent to follow through, or threatening criminal process in order to collect a civil debt is a  violation of the Federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.)  The same goes for endless telephone harassment

Note that the US Supreme Court in the Case of HENSON ET AL. v. SANTANDER CONSUMER USA INC., has recently ruled that the provisions of the Federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act do not apply if the creditor owns the debt in question.  As a practical matter this probably won't effect the kinds of scam debt collectors who often show up on 800notes.  The scam collectors don't give you any information about themselves so it is impossible to know whether or not they in fact "own" the debt in question.  Most do not send debt validation letters and many often say they are collecting for someone else.  So, make the complaint anyway if they are bothering you.  Let the FTC sort it out.

Also contact your local attorney general

If they continue to bother you,  and you know you do not owe any money, tell them that you know this is  a debt scam and that you are making a complaint to the police for extortion.  Once you get a copy of the police report and they call you again , just read out the  file number and the name of the PD or Sheriff’s office involved.   Tell them you’ll be glad to send a copy to them at whatever address the jack***es are working out of now.

You'll probably have to yell at them and talk over them.
You have to get tuff with these people because,  being akin to thugs, brute force is (metaphorically speaking).   the only thing they understand.

Another person who wants someone else to take care of their problem.  The solution to your problem, which you can very easily take care of has been posted here numerous times by me, Resident47, and CWG40.  So you can take the time to read and use the advice, or you can put up with the calls and hope someone does you a favor (I wouldn't hold my breath until that favor happens though).

Calls Saurdays Sundays "urgent you contact us"  repeatedly N.B. we filed "no-calls" months ago

SAYS THEY are a legit company at https://www.penncredit.com/

SAYS they are a legit company at a website: https://www.penncredit.com/

Says online that they are a "legit" company at https://www.penncredit.com/  but I owe nothing and they won't talk with me unless I verify who I am but when I ask who THEY are they hang up.

leaves messages at work at least once a week for collection of bill

I sued them thru centennial law in CA. Got 500.

I certainly wouldn't brag about that, that settlement should have been a lot more, and they should have also paid for your lawyer.

Rambling robo call about debt owed. Thank god for answering machine to screen calls.

Just got a call from Penn,  wanting to speak to me,  game me different options, if it was not me to press 4, and they said sorry they would correct their records.   Pressed 4 and hope this works.
