8552564037

I don't know who this or what it's about. They are calling my  ex-inlaw's and won't stop bothering them.

I keep getting calls from this number for my husband's ex-wife.  They left a message one time, but after that, they have never left another message.  The message was that they were an attorney's office and there was pending litigation against her.  I have no idea how they got MY #.

They keep calling mine and my stepfather number. Don't even know how they got his number but this is beginning to be very annoying! All they keep saying is I have an important legal matter with their company and the account number nothing else? Who are these people?

These dorks are calling from a variety of numbers!
1) 888-511-4248
2) 855-256-4037
3) 855-678-5437
I'm sure there's more, but I just started jotting 'em down recently.

They are getting sneaky. Now they are routing calls through local numbers. I live in the Denver and I kept getting phone calls from 303-500-1920, which says Hudson,Co. I finally called back from a landline and the pre-recorded message says "Thank you for calling URG offices..." I have told these people to send me a validation of debt via mail if it is valid (its not, I've never had a pay day loan) and they refuse. Beware now they are making it seem like someone local is calling. They haven't left a message but they have called 3 times today

Just because someones legal info comes up on a phone number does not make this legitimate nor does it justify making retaliation calls.  The illegal callers are known to use actual identity's, real business names and numbers to spoof and hide where they actually call from.  Phone spoofing is a fact and innocent people get harassed for something they didn't do.

Keep getting calls from this number, no message ever left. When these scamartists leave a messae, on the advice of an attorney friend of mine. Save the voicemail, give it to your attorney....these low life bottom feeding scumbags will end up owing you oney :) If enough of these scumbags get ther pants sued off, maybe it will finally put an end to them!

Yes you may block this # but than they call you from a new #. That never stops.

Never left a message but been getting calls about dept from a person claiming to be me thru a bank I never used and I have Identy Teft protection thru my bank so theses guys are in for it

Company keeps calling me about a bad debt to be paid, and needs to settle this right away, or court action will be taken,
I do not have any current outstanding debt issues.
this number does not have a company name to file a complaint against.

These folks have been calling me for over a year now stating they need a statement from me today, well they are not getting one! If they were for real, they would take action instead of playing the threat game! Rot in hell idiot scammers!

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the nation's consumer protection agency, is warning consumers to be on the alert for scam artists posing as debt collectors. It may be hard to tell the difference between a legitimate debt collector and a fake one. Sometimes a fake collector may even have some of your personal information, like a bank account number. A caller may be a fake debt collector if he:

•is seeking payment on a debt for a loan you do not recognize;
•refuses to give you a mailing address or phone number;
•asks you for personal financial or sensitive information; or
•exerts high pressure to try to scare you into paying, such as threatening to have you arrested or to report you to a law enforcement agency.

If you think that a caller may be a fake debt collector:

•Ask the caller for his name, company, street address, and telephone number. Tell the caller that you refuse to discuss any debt until you get a written "validation notice." The notice must include the amount of the debt, the name of the creditor you owe, and your rights under the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.
If a caller refuses to give you all of this information, do not pay! Paying a fake debt collector will not always make them go away. They may make up another debt to try to get more money from you.•Stop speaking with the caller. If you have the caller's address, send a letter demanding that the caller stop contacting you, and keep a copy for your files. By law, real debt collectors must stop calling you if you ask them to in writing.
•Do not give the caller personal financial or other sensitive information. Never give out or confirm personal financial or other sensitive information like your bank account, credit card, or Social Security number unless you know whom you're dealing with. Scam artists, like fake debt collectors, can use your information to commit identity theft – charging your existing credit cards, opening new credit card, checking, or savings accounts, writing fraudulent checks, or taking out loans in your name.
•Contact your creditor. If the debt is legitimate – but you think the collector may not be – contact your creditor about the calls. Share the information you have about the suspicious calls and find out who, if anyone, the creditor has authorized to collect the debt.
•Report the call. Contact the FTC and your state Attorney General's office with information about suspicious callers. Many states have their own debt collection laws in addition to the federal FDCPA. Your Attorney General's office can help you determine your rights under your state's law.

I have received 4 calls on my cell phone from 855-256-4037--haven't and won't answer them

This company is Stemologica "for NOW", they have a tendency to change number.
You'll never be able to get the line so if you bought anything from them, call your credit card company and file a legitimate complaint. If it is not already passed on your credit cards, you may have to call your credit card company in +/- 6 days because they wont be able to reverse charges on something you have not been charged for firstly. WORSE company ever

Calling everyday threatening to serve me at address and place of employment. Even listed past known addresses listed on my credit reports. Harrassing me everyday and sometimes multiple times a day. I have been saving the recordings.

Constant harassment from this company URG associates stating they are coming to my home and my work to get me fired

Serious debt scammers.  Ignore and block their calls.

This group has been taken to court:  https://www.rfcexpress.com/lawsuits/other-sta ... istead/summary/

Not certain what the outcome was.

***A company must be licensed in their state as well as the one they are trying to collect in if two different states are involved.

Some Tips:
*Keep all messages
*Take a picture of your Caller ID
*Keep any and all conversations recorded to your states recording laws, some require they be told, others do not. This can be transferred to a recording device.
*Keep a notebook handy for writing time,date, who you spoke with and what the conversation detailed.
*Check your SOL for your state as well.
*Attorneys need to be licensed as a DC to collect, all DC's must be licensed in their state as well as yours if different.

Called my teenage sons phone, left saying it's for me but went on and on, in threatening tone. Kept saying we're coming to your work, your home and other addresses to serve you..... wtf? I have no idea how anyone would get relatives phone number, nor do I know what this is about. I don't owe anyone!
