8009835027

You need to identify yourself as such and also avoid the "scare tactics"

from unkown company saying to call them today! 800-983-5027 whatever.

Received a call from this number. She left a message saying that I needed to call back today and ask for Jennifer Guerrero.  Seems strange that anyone would leave a message on someone's phone when the "greeting" repeats the phone # and no name is mentioned. How do they know if the number belongs to the person they re trying to reach
I will not be calling back

If you are such a legit company, why, when the website for Midwest shows you are located in KS, does the number come up from Boston, MA or any number of other states? Doesnt sound too honest a business.
Also if so legit, why are you leaving cryptic messages about calling back and what it is regards to. Calling and attempting to collect debts that are past a state's statute of limitations, say 3-6 years old in some cases, is low.
You leave no name of your company, no reason why you call, or what it relates to and expect people to trust you are not sketchy?
I found your company name, not by searching the number that came up on caller ID, that doesnt exist,  but by searching the 800 number your person left. All they say is their name & to call back, like that'll happen when nobody knows what the call is about.

They called me to collect a debt that was 12yrs old!!! The debt was for a vocational school I went to back in 2003. It was closed down and went out of business due to fraud by the owners. Students sued that school and won. I received a letter about the law suit, it said students that attended that school between 1985-2005 will not have to repay the loan. Never got any phone calls, mail/e-mails from that financial institution since the letter. Now they claim I owe $28k that includes interest for the last decade or so! Wtf!!

Also the rep I talked to (Stephanie) failed to email me the info about this so called debt. The phone number looks like a cell phone number similar to mine. That number is 971-302-2873. This all seems fishy. These people are a damn joke!!

STFU! You know damn well who you work for!!

Even scammers have printers and paper and stamps. That is still no proof they legally own the debt they are trying to collect. If you want to make a payment on an old debt, send it to the original debtor, and if the collector is legit, they will have to forward it on. So that's fine, let them. I don't pay people I don't make a debt with. Period. These people just called me too trying to collect on something they said was from 2011 from a loan I didn't take out from a company I have never heard of. Going to check on the statute of limitations for trying to collect on old stuff.

Please review the laws set forth by both the FDCPA and the CFPB regarding the type of message received and the phone number in which you are receiving calls from. If you are still unhappy with these laws, please feel free to contact your State Representative. As consumers, we are the one's who vote on these laws.

Please understand that every state has different restrictions regarding calls to the place of employer. As consumers, many of us provide our employer number when we are in need of something (in this case funding).  Additionally, the FDCPA requires that collectors first verify the identity of the consumer by verifying their name, the last four the of the SSN#, date of birth and/or current mailing address on file. If the individual on the consumer's line refuses to provide this information the collector may not legally continue the call.

As consumers, it is our responsibility to educate ourselves on the laws regarding our daily actions.

Several issues regarding this post. Please see below comment regarding calls placed to employer. Did you provide the number on your loan application? Does your state allow place of employment calls, while your employer does not? Additionally, a collector would not contact you without a purpose, if they are contacting you, they are attempting to reach your or someone you know and are calling with the purpose of collecting a debt.

A simple google search with the phone number 800-983-5027, in which you provided, will yield a business website. I have copied and pasted this website for your convenience :)

Please review third party disclosure under the FDCPA. Collectors may speak with third parties under certain circumstances.

Fellow consumer, it is great to see that you have handled your responsibilities without issue. However, if you have a collector stating that they will disclose to your parents without your consent, you should file a complaint with the business, the FDCPA and CFPB.

I just researched your company and it has an A+ rating with the BBB. However, it is against the law to call my place of business for a debt that I may owe.

If your number is an 800 number, then why call from purchased, disguised numbers?  I think you should read up on the rules of the FDCPA.
