No response from this caller after answering, so I assume it is spam of some sort.  They called back, I didn't answer this time & they never left a voicemail.

They asked for information about my "minor child" had his name and asked for his birthday. Wouldn't indicate what it was in regards to. Do not give any information to these people.

leaves no msg

State Debt Collection Service claiming to have a debt turned over to them by St. Luke's Physicians in Kansas City.
Seems to have incorrect information. Possible scam.

State Debt Collection Service claiming they are spoofing ther caller id thay are not even loicated in kansas city metro aera they are in Madison, Wi Beloit, Wi West Allis, Wi  and Geneva, Il  it is higly ilgeal for debt collectors to spoof there caller id and is direct violaction of the tcp act and the fdcpa act

How do you know that the number is spoofed.  Did you try to call them back at this number?  The TCPA does not address number spoofing.  It would only apply to the FDCPA if the number did not connect to them.  It might then be a possible violation of 15 USC §1692(d)(6) Meaningful Disclosure.

You will need to send them a certified, return receipt debt validation (by law they have to go back to the original creditor to prove you owe the debt), cease and desist calling, or "not me" letter (this will be the best money that you have ever invested).  Also send it first class mail in case no one will sign for it.  Make a notation of that fact at the bottom of the letter.  You also need to report them to the proper agencies to which I have provided links to.  Then you need to go out and get a consumer lawyer to sue them on a contingency basis (no money out of your pocket) and let them pay you for the harassment.  If everyone did these three things, these crooks would be bankrupt, and we would all be the richer for it.  Use these web sites to find an attorney in your state that will probably take the case on a contingency basis (no money out of your pocket up front):  http://www.consumeradvocates.org/

It is incumbent upon them under the law to prove that the debt exists and that you owe it, and (this is the important part) that they have the legal right to collect it.  You are not obligated under the law to prove that you don’t owe or that it is paid.  

Federal law (FDCPA) requires them to send you a letter (US MAIL ONLY) postmarked 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 of receipt of the letter and if you do so, all collection activity must be stopped until the debt is verified.

First, you should make a complaint at this Federal Agency, and while there you should also read up on how debt collection is supposed to work as well as what your rights in this matter are: https://www.consumerfinance.gov/

Also file a complaint with your State Attorney General's office.

becasue they are out of state and they are useing and 816 number to spoof there caller id because it also comes up as unkonwen number and in kansas it is higly ilgeal for any debt collector to spoof there caller id i called one of there offices in wi and asked them if they had any offices in the kc metro aera and the pseron i spoke to said no they do not have any offices in the kc metro aera and they have gotten several calls about this and said the number would come up on ther caller id as State Debt Collection Service and it would be there 800-477-7474 number and not any other number than that boy you must think pepole are dumb and can not tell when a debt collector is a scammer and when they are spoofing there caller id

Says the person with a 2nd grade grasp of the English language.  Sorry, but I am not "dumb"  I certainly know the law better then you ever will which is evident from both of my posts (where I cited my references to prove my point).  I can see that you cannot possibly understand anything that I wrote so all I can say is good luck.
Oh, and you actually believe that a debt collector would tell you the truth?  I can see you getting scammed a lot in the future.

Repeated hang ups.  No message . Fits a pattern of spoofed numbers that robocall me in which the exchange part of my personal phone appears as part of the spoof number.

It’s “State Collection Service.”

Not only do the call, they send text messages saying that some left you a gift. Misleading all the way around. I know I have a bill with the hospital.  I’m only dealing with hospital,  not them.

Well that would be illegal on two points. First they are not allowed to text debt collection calls yet. Second telling you that you have a free gift would be a violation also.

This is a valid number and I was able to verify the number and that it is indeed State Collection Agency. For me, it is a valid debt from St. Luke's Hospital in the Kansas City, Mo area. The debt was turned over from St. Luke's to State Collection Agency even though I was paying on the account. The account was turned over because I didn't agree to St. Luke's Payment Plan even though I was paying on the account. Technicalities, technicalities. My problem with this company is that the caller did not identify themselves upfront as State Collection Agency. Instead I was prompted with a 'live" person telling me this is "make up a name" on a recorded line. Is this "make up a name". And then asked me to provide details about where I lived, etc. Sorry, but you called me and I'm not giving out those details. If you want my personal details, Google me. Don't use the HIPPA, PHI and PII crap on me and you need to verify who I am.

Quote:

Don't use the HIPPA, PHI and PII

 None of which apply to debt collection.  The FDCPA which does specifies that they must make sure that they are talking to the alleged debtor and not some third party.  We also already knew the name and all of the information about this debt collector.

Claims to be State Collection Agency with a hospital collection.  They refused to send me an itemized statement.  I got in touch with the hospital, and I have no balance and nothing in collections.
