    1)This number called me.I guess that was about the fraudulent collection of FAFSA by the Northcentral University.I was not enable to study on the compass online website.They collected FAFSA and after  many months of online torture started requesting official documents for my admission and registration for the Doctoral program.Not being registered they declared me dismissed to cover up.I exhaustively explained this fraudulent non academic practice.I don't know the pleasure the get in disturbing me when I am already too disturbed by the above mentioned scams and other charlatans that I encountered.Sirs focus on collecting the FAFSA MONEY FRAUDULENTLY COLLECTED ON MY BEHAVE WITHOUT HAVING REGISTERED ME.
    2) I went to the cook county hospital on the 2013/11/14 holding my complete medical file and CD obtained from a Dr Of the US Embassy in Cameroon.I had my application form for a substitute job that I wanted the Dr to sign based on my medical file attached.He was absent but the blocked my file in the office during the week-end.When I returned there nothing had been done.I took my official chest result to a Medical Dr in a different town.She inserted my CD in the computer,got my health result and signed my form free of charge because the data inserted on the CD by the Dr of the US embassy in Cameroon was current and indicating that I had extremely  good chest health.Surprisingly the charlatans started sending me letters upon letters requesting me to pay them fabulous some of money for a service they did not render.At Elmhurst School District the form that I wanted to have signed at Cook county hospital is there ,signed by a different medical practitioner from another town.If I  retrieve my form the Cook county Hospital fast and sought solution elsewhere .They sent me to their private clinic .I did not go there.It was just their plan of exploitation or to make me miss my substitute teacher employment.It is quite wrong to request payment for a service they did not render.Probably they are imagining that I WENT TO THEIR PRIVATE CLINIC WHERE THEY DIRECTED ME AFTER KEEPING MY APPLICATION FORM IN THEIR DRAWER FOR SOME DAYS.
    The PennCredit had better remove my name from their system because of wrongful AND FRAUDULENT CLAIMS claims by the Navient/SALIMAE andJ.H.Stroger Physician svcs

    Oh, I get it -- they call from -1380, -1381, and -1382. They often leave a dopey-sounding robo message with some idiot robot telling  us that "so and so" should call them....the way the stupid thing pronounces the name of the person makes us laugh, and we always hang up , so did not know it was debt collector.

    They have been calling me once a day for the last week or so with the Penn Credit ID. I don't owe anybody anything, so I have not responded to the robo messages. Thanks to all who have posted here on the true nature of these calls.

    They call more often now, and twice day sometimes. Sometimes they leave a message that starts somewhere in the middle, with some guy saying something about "no discernable response, " or some such thing. One day they started with "press 2," and went on to things that would lead to pressing 3 and 4....Pests. Send me a letter.

    You may have to send them a cease and desist request by certified mail, return receipt requested.   If they don't stop calling you, you might have to institute legal action.

    __________________
    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.

    This company CONTINUOUSLY calls me.  It is definitely a BOGUS CALL as my credit rating is 850 and the internet says it is a collection agency!  It claims it is important personal bushiness and demands an action to receive the call.

    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 receipt of the letter and if you do so, all collection activity must be stopped until the debt is verified.
    Read up on your rights here, get template letters to send and also make a complaint at this government site:  http://www.consumerfinance.gov/
    Also file a complaint with your State Attorney General's office.

    Consider a call blocker and do not pick up on call numbers you do not recognize.  See the other notes.

    Consider sending them a cease and desist letter.  This should be by US mail, return receipt requested.

    The FCC will not take a complaint regarding any phone scammer who robodials your number then neither leave any message nor talks.  The State of NJ has made it harder to file complaints about DNC violations unless the complainant is able to drill down to the complaint form (found thru www.njconsumeraffairs.gov/telemarketers) and fill it out, then mail it in – all at your cost!

    Roborectums know all that thus our elected legislators have basically blessed them to continue to annoy us.  Not to mention that when the caller realizes he/she/it has been blocked, they either get a new number to call from or spoof another (many times an innocent) number.

    To make things even worse, all phone providers profit by providing service to these scammers and won’t shut them down as it would be lost income for every phone provider who is aiding and abetting the illicit activity scammer.

    Every phone provider easily knows these roboterrorists utilize their services just by monitoring the bandwidth and frequency of calls made from a single source.  We, the recipients, are all victims of this crime and it’s high time to fight back – so if you actually talk to a human, identify them by asking for their address so you can send them a check, and then hang up.  Use their mailing address on every postage paid postcard you find in magazines offering free insurance estimates, travel, magazine samples, etc.  On the up side - this will help reduce the USPS debt.

    Contact your legislators to stop the robocallers – send them a complaint every time you get a call.  Tell them to stop the scumbags or you will elect someone who will as their inaction and total lack of regard for your wellbeing and privacy further aids and abets each robocaller.

    The DNC law works only for honest callers.  Federal and State laws need to be enacted to guide the phone providers in terminating the illegal roboactivity and phone scams – put the onus on the providers and not the honest users!

    Also, why not sue the phone providers for their inaction to pull the plug on the phone terrorists?  A fantastic class action suit awaits a great attorney team on this one, because it appears that neither Federal nor State authorities give a damn to protect us and openly permit the phone companies to continually profit from your life being interrupted.

    Verizon’s Call Intercept service (a $9.99 per month ransom plus federal and local taxes) limits you to 25 numbers.  So I use a Panasonic KX-TG6844 phone that can block 250 numbers. The cost of $111 paid for itself in a year and I dropped the Verizon intercept service extortion fee.

    Many robocalls originate on the Verizon network and thru their subsidiary companies and affiliates such as Cellco. Of course, Sprint, Level 3, Cavalier, Embarq, T-mobile, and Cingular (to name a few) are also used providers.  What if these scammers might even be related to phone company employees or worse yet ISIS to raise funds to support terrorism?

    Finally, contact the Consumer Union (Consumer Reports) site www.EndRobocalls.org and sign their petition to pressure the phone companies and lobby the government. It won’t cost you a cent!  July 2015 news articles indicate Verizon is going to screw us more during their attempt to deregulate communications services and fees which could cost us considerably more by buying into their anonymous call intercept useless service, etc.

    Thanks for all your posts.  I've just started receiving calls from this "company" about "important personal business".  First few times, I just hung up, figuring someone was soliciting donations.  This AM, I listened to the message; they have an "important personal message" for my ex daughter in law, whom I've not spoken to in approx 10 yrs.  I have no idea HOW they got my phone number or even my connection to her. (She lives in NJ and I live in the South).  I pressed "4" after the message ended to indicate a wrong number.  Let's see how well that works.
