866-269-5472

A foreigner called and said she was a debt collector for AT&T.  I have not been an AT&T customer for several months and I sure don't owe them any money.

blocked in firewall but they keep trying, sometimes twice daily

“Account services” called over 5 times in span of 3 days

I had some fun with this one: I answered speaking perfect French and waited for them to reply; four LONG awkward seconds of silence and they hung up cold. LMAO!! Wonder if I'm removed from their call back list....LOL!!

That's your proof right there: VoIP ( "internet" ) sourced call--highly likely from overseas location. My system indicates call source is from India, gee.....imagine that. LOL!!

Calls 2 times a day, 6 days a week, AT&T third party debt collector, known for FCRA violations.

Dirt bags.

Corrected number is 866 269 5472...

This number calls twice everyday, despite having no answer to any of their calls. The prefix "866" is a toll-free business number, so it most likely isn't actually Credence. Not to mention that I am litterally 14, have one DEBIT card, tied to my mom's account, and going into debt is consequently absolutely impossible. Definately fake.

It most likely is Credence.  Most likely your phone number was once used or reported to be used by someone they are looking for.  This should be handled by your parents.  They should send Creedance a certified, return receipt "not me" letter and telling them that they are harassing a minor as well and that if they continue to call criminal charges will be pressed against their company.

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/

Everything else you need to know follows including at least two or more federal and state agencies where you should report their criminal activities.

It is incumbent upon them under the law to prove that the debt exists and that you owe it, and 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.

Read up on your rights here and also make a complaint at this government site:  http://www.consumerfinance.gov/

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