Just as I expected.  Another debt collector, but from another number Midland Credit uses.  I got one call around 5:00 pm a couple of days ago.  No message of course.

Portfolio Recovery finally stopped calling me after about 3 years.  I never did pick up, but lately I was hanging up on it whenever I was home.

I started getting debt collector calls in 2009, looking for someone else.  Still, I pulled my credit reports.  Nothing amiss.  After that, many agencies called but most gave up after a few months.

Not PF, until April.  Hope I don't jinx myself by saying that.....

It seems this problem of debt collectors harassing innocent people by calling outdated phone numbers, some as old as 20 years, is big enough to catch media attention.  It was on the news last week.  Calling a number of a 13 year old's cell for example.

These people never believe you when saying you're not that person, you've had the number over 10 years, etc.  They just bully and threaten you over the phone.

I never pick up and never will.  They can keep calling and I'll keep not answering.

They wanted to know who i voted for in the last election

who cares

Last I heard, our elections used a SECRET ballot.  It is no one's business who you voted for.  That is between you and a voting machine!

I too get calls from these morons, and so I assigned their numbers to a specific contact.  I gave it a silent ring, but my phone still speaks the name of every caller.  So I re-named the contact "sehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhx" and now I get a good belly laugh followed by some great fantasies every time they call. Keep 'em comin', boys!

I've gotten calls starting 8/8/14 twice a day everyday.  I do have the # blocked so I will only hear 1 ring.  It is annoying tho.
DNC does not work.

Don't blame the DNC.   The DNC does not cover debt collectors or scammers.  Spells it out on the FTC/DNC site.....

Debt collection asking for personal information but would not say how much debt or the company they our collecting from. APPEARS TO BE A SCAM

This is Midland Credit Corp.  They leave no messages at all.  I have left them messages.  They are trying to collect on a debt that I already explained to them was billed incorrectly.  The doctor's office billed to the wrong insurance so it is their own fault and I am not paying.  If they billed correctly, they would have been paid in full.  I even sent everything to the doc.  Now it is expired per 5 yr statute.  

I don't really know who these people are they keep calling my home number which is activated but never been used.  It shows the number on my tv screen though I don't have an actual phone for the number they are calling.  How do I block this number?

All the blocking tips are great but what about blocking the number on a landline.  ma bell only allows local numbers be blocked not 1800 type numbers or out of area numbers.  My elderly in-laws are getting all these calls for someone they do not know at all times of day and night and its very frustrating, and scary for them when its threatening calls.

This number calls me everyday morning, evening and night. The person does not leave a message and does not identify himself. Has a strange accent, Indian or Arabian.

They've been pestering me too at all hours. Listen y'all, I just found out that credit agencies have been re dating 15yr old debt. Make sure to check credit report every year for free. Everybody gets one, and save ALL previous years reports to prove they are doing it. Blocking: I have a cheap phone, but after the call comes in, go to your log select the number and you should have a block or reject call function. I have had to let it ring long enough to let the phone number appear to write down, bcuz after it just shows unavailable. Hope that helps.

The person calling my number is calling for someone who does not live or has ever lived in my house.  They live/lived in the neighbor. I asked that my phone number is removed from their calling list.  

I moved them into my "spam" folder on my phone so when they call it doesn't ring. Just got another call from them, they won't leave a VM because they don't want anything they say to be recorded.

1 call on 8-17-14, 2 calls on 8-18-14, 4 calls so far on 8-19-14... none answered. new number for me, have not had credit cards in over 10 years.
they are relentless.

They called twice today, have them in my blacklist and it seems they don't like to talk to Lenny... both calls were answered by Lenny and disconnected with ca 10 seconds.

This "company" calls all the time,and leaves no messages.Idiots.

Someone please take action!

I am on the do not call list and these people will not leave a message so I say don't call my house a lot of good the do not call list does

I've just started getting calls from this number. I don't answer my phone unless I recognize the number period! But I try to find out what telemarketer or charity donation set-up it is. This number means that they are calling me because someone used my number in their financial dealings or whatever! It's not my business. I sometimes remove my telephone cord from my phone when I get at least two calls like this. I also turn off my cell unless I need it. I'm glad they are unable to contact me on my computer while I'm using it, but I fear that is soon to come. Right now they dump their feces into our e-mail boxes, and try to infect us with their viruses! Okay I hope my rantings help someone..Take it easy greasy!
