There is a much better way.  It is called a cease and desist letter, which you send by certified, return receipt mail. The information you need is in my post on the previous page of this thread.  Do yourself a favor and read it.

Beware this a big scam was just in the news paper why don't people report them .

No, but the FDCPA gives you the power to make them stop calling.  Read my post on the previous page.

Scam they are spoofing numbers  they will lie they show any number they want to show up on people's caller ID even the cops number they can program it to look like they are calling u.

I received a call but did not answer as there was no caller ID. I will block it thanks to all the comments. My husband has a bad debt on Experian that is not his. We contacted the Colorado Attorney General. They tried to get the debt collection agency to cease to no avail. Nothing fazes these creeps!

Received several missed calls from 1-866-580-4780 in the last 2 weeks.  When we answered, they spoke in a very low voice looking for someone who doesn't live here.  Told them not to call back.  Just decided to look them up.  Thanks for the other posts.  Going to block the # now.

Must have at least 20 numbers blocked from this company. Continues to call. Have no debt so why do they call? Now I'm just tracking for my attorney.

calls me daily and is answered mostly by a computer.  This has been going on for a couple of months.

i have been gettin this call every day and hour after hour and they leave no message.

I received a call from this number saying that I owed a credit card for which I never have or had. It's is becoming very annoying and it's disgusting.

 They call stating to send money or ask for personal information

they called me claiming that they are a debt collector. and asked me for the last 4 of my social when i refused they gave me a different digits and told them that they got the wrong digits and still didn't gave them my social. i told them i don't know who they are and i don't trust them and didn't give them my social

They are criminals operating as a debt collector. DO NOT give them any information or send them money.

They buy lists of consumer names/phone #'s and call people looking to get a hit, meaning they get you to give out personal information or send them money. That's why they ask for information they should already have, but don't have -- all they have is a name & phone #. Why? Why don't they already have the information? Because they are scammers, that's why.

Block them or don't even answer.

Once you give out personal information, or worse send them money, you'll have many others hounding you.

I received - as many times before - calls to my private, do-not-call listed landline - a number had for over 30 years.
These "people" called once yesterday (Saturday), this morning (Sunday) and this afternoon (Sunday). Having filed complaints their response in essence has been, "hey, we are allowed to call because we're debt collectors". However, I have no debt (years after paying off student loans completely), no relationship with any company they might represent, and I'm being called persistently and either randomly or based on illegally-gotten and/or innaccurate identity info.  Their constant calls - offering no way to stop their calls (usually not even anyone on  there at the other end of their hyperactive robo-callers), and certainly not trustworthy enough to actually stop if they say they will. Their business model is entirely harassment and reliance on shady business, and they (Midland/Encore) are legendary for their persistence in abusive and illegal behavior.

They have been ordered by CFPB to cease and desist. They've not at all complied, but have taken to masking CID, and some masking of their calls, but I have photos and recordings, not to mention lost sleep and elevated annoyance because of their arrogance in defying both decency and law, and CFPB too. They seem "too big to fail", and so lobbyists now are attacking the wonderful work consumers now benefit from, a voice to speak back to criminals like Encore/Midland's execs who defy law and direct orders to cease and desist practices like harassment based on non-accurate/non-existent debt info.

These people have billions of dollars and even more arrogance and certainty that they can do whatever they what because "we are exempt". From refraining from compliance with law, and in their weekend and night calls to innocent victims?

They may be too big to fail (or to care) but I join many others in hoping/praying the execs charged with legal compliance are not too big to jail.

One of their thousands of victims, pre and post the order for them to stop? File a complaint, document each call, and know that legitimate complaints are actually acted upon by the CFPB, who know this sleazy, abusive enterprise very well:

COMPLAINTS:   http://www.consumerfinance.gov/complaint/

This number calls and calls, from 8am to after 8pm, including Sundays...like today, Nov. 15, 2015...this has been going on for more than a year for me.  I don't answer the phone, recorder does...they get mad sometimes and say a word or two in what ever language they speak, but I don't understand it.  I have no knowledge of them and do not owe any behind debts, so have no idea what they want with me. A scam is all I can figure it can be.

838pm on sunday .... no one there, silence.

for 3 month i get calls from this people starting 8;30am 4 times a day ending 8;30 pm last night i called that nr back a women says MIDLAND CREDIT MGMT, Itold her to stop calling that i dont owe any money to anione i pay my bills i also sayd to her that i will report them.    now it is 8;25 am as i am complaining to you the phone rings again from this nr wy is it that this people get a toll free nr

I received 2 or 3 calls a day from this number, it shows to be a toll free number, with no other identifying information.  This has been going on for almost a month.  When I answer it, there is no one there. This has gone past irritating, it has now become harassment.  Why can these people not be stopped.

They call several times everyday and we don't answer. It's a landline phone that comes free with the internet/cable. At night we take it off the hook or turn off the ringer. We have not answered any of their (so far) about 50 calls in the past few months. We use our cell phones and they don't have those numbers. Never leave a msg, which is just as well as we would delete it before we would listen. Don't know or care what they want.

To stupid to figure out after 50 calls they are wasting their time calling here.
