866-714-0929

So apparently these people have contacted my evil sister in laws cell phone and home phone. How they got her number is besided me. These people are reaching... Lol oh well, if it is from a school debt, they can pretty much give up on me, they'll never get that money back.

Looks like I'm back on the front burner with these collection agencies. And not just Wyndham but others who want their greedy fingers in the pot.

You can quit calling or harassing by phone calling this number. I'm almost 80 years of age. Living in senior housing. Stop bugging me.

Calls daily for Frederick Buckles about his school loan.  He apparently owes $25,000 and has stopped paying.

866-714-0929 called for the 1st time today. CID shows Toll Free. We never answer #'s that don't identify the caller. Looks like it may be from Windham. Have NO idea why they'd call here. No Student loans ever taken from anyone here, so they're barking up the wrong tree. No plans on EVER answering the phone from this #.

apparently this # at it again from reading previous posts.  They called here today, I usually never answer "unavailable" calls but happened to pick up.  Sounded like woman's voice recording asking for someone......I hung up.

Called and I didn't answer.  They left no message as usual.

866-714-0929 called & left a message today while we were out. Asking for a Greg Scott for some debt collection. Never heard of him! Sounded automated & couldn't understand the company name.

So question for you.... if you "never answer #'s that don't identify the caller".... then how can you claim this "looks like it may be from Windham"? Please don't tell me you are going off what others before you have posted.

Called looking for Robert Donald, left a message on my answering machine. Windham debt collectors. Seems they are reaching and calling either relative, no matter how distant or neighbors., or total strangers. Never heard of this guy.

Well known bunch of criminals that routinely violate Federal and State collection laws.

You need to send them a certified, return receipt debt validation, cease and desist calling, or "not me" letter (think of it as the best $6.47 you 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 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.
