they call all the time and never leave a message.

Zombie debt collector called looking for someone else at 8:30 on a Sunday morning. Nooooooooooo.

The name of the company is Midland Credit management.  Read all about them on page 24 and then use the links in them to report them.  Also read Tamianth 's above post.

Stop calling me

No one at this site is calling you.  INvest in a call blocker and do not pick up on  numbers you do not recognize.

I thought Sunday was off limits for these crank calls. I never answer any call I do not recognize, so I never picked it up, but judging from other people's experience it is a debt collector agency trying to collect non existent debt'. I requested a 'no call' from these [***]. But apparently nothing helps.

Do a search on  call blocking devices and phones.  And DC's do not fall under the DNC, they fall under the FCRA/FDCPA/TCPA laws.  And nope, there only time stipulations (8AM -9 pm) unless it happens to be a state law of some kind.

See Big A's post on page 36..

If you told them verbally, that carries no weight.  You must send it in writing, preferably certified, return receipt so that you can prove they received it.  See the links in my post and in Tamianth's post to learn how not to be a victim of this criminal organization.

This number calls my house, multiple times every morning. Answer and they hang up. It is annoying not to mention that we sleep late because we work a late shift. On call back it goes to Midland Debt Collection. I spoke to representative and asked to be removed from the calling list.  Looking for two persons with same last name.

I get several calls a day from this number, but no one answers. I put call blocking on (Panasonic cordless) but still rings once, which is still annoying. Thanks to others on this site for the heads up on these people.

This number calls our phone all the time, it just beeps and does nothing else can't call it back it calls three to four times a day

Two calls in the same day, 2/9/2016, no message. I only have a cell phone, no landline, and it allows me to easily block calls in my recent call history. So that's what I did.

you can block there call by the play store and get the app for block calls

These guys must be busy. 40 pages of people reporting on this web page about them.
Just one more number to block.

Called saying I owed money.  I DO NOT!

I have a Panasonic too, but if you go to "initial settings" select, scroll to "call block" select then push "menu" scroll to "first ring" select  scroll to "off"  and save, the block calls will not ring at all.

This number shows up 11 times on my Caller ID in the last week.
