FMA Alliance Debt collection

the caller is a debt collector.....

Nobody in my family owes these [***] anything.  How do I know?  We called them from their listed Houston telephone number.  FMA Alliance checked their records and said we don't owe them anything.  They also advised they can't imagine who might have called.  Then, why does the CID read 'FMA...'?  Something stinks here.  And, it isn't just the Limburger cheese.

I got a call from 877-208-4172. I did not answer it.  Caller ID is "Not Provided".  If this is a legitimate call, wouldn't name show up?

The people making calls from 877-208-4172 and 281-670-1572 are evidently scamming people!  The voices are African American dialects.

2816701572 called my cell number!  Not sure how they got it.  I called it back an hour later, and got a message saying it is FMA Alliance

Someone from this number called my son-in-law's mother's house asking for me.  She has a new phone number & I don't even have it.  They never called me.  How did they get her number and why call there?

I have blocked other numbers from these people as I don't owe anything. add other numbers 877-219-9929, 2816701540, 2819752631, 8772084172.  They left a voice mail asking for my daughter who has never had this telephone number.  She has a medical debt from over 10 years ago so this is probably about that.  But it is a stretch to call relatives and to call about an old debt.  Either bottom feeders or a scam.

DEBT COLLECTORS

NOTHING IS GOING TO STOP THESE LAZY COLLECTION AGENCIES who call everyone with the same name instead of looking up the right one (all Joe smiths instead of Joe Smith Jr. or Joe H. Smith instead of Joe P. Smith)

Some collection agencies are trying to collect on 10 - 20 year old debts.
Statute of limitations on debt = (http://www.creditinfocenter.com/rebuild/statuteLimitations.shtml).

This was posted on this web site:

The Fair Debt Collection Act (FDCPA) was put into place To give people legal rights when it comes to collection agencies and collection attorneys.  If this collection agency is calling you for a debt you owe or a debt that is not yours, they could be violating your rights.

IF YOU ARE BEING CONTACTED BY ANY COLLECTION AGENCY,  get in contact with:  http://www.fdcpacompliance.com/    asap so they can determine what rights these bottom feeders have violated and take action.   More and more American’s find themselves being hounded by debt collectors as a result of our country’s recent economic downturn.  The good news is that harassment is an illegal act according to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA).  The great news is that each infraction is PUNISHABLE UP TO $1,000.00 TO THE CONSUMER for statutory damages, and possibly more for actual damages!  The offending agency also has to pay your attorney’s fees.  The only thing that the consumer generally has to do is help to gather and provide information.

This company is still active on this number I usually never answer but was feeling saucy once they said this call is being recorded I just hung up. I will be doing bancruptcy soon it sucks but its real

The president of FMA Alliance is named Michael Janakes. According to the Harris County Appraisal District website (hcad.org) Michael Janakes home address is:
JANAKES, MICHAEL
3511 CREEKBRIAR DR
HOUSTON TX 77068-1310

Do with this information as you will. It is all public knowledge if you know where/how to look. I do know that if FMA does not stop calling me for fictitious debts Mr. Janakes will get the opportunity to explain it to me personally. I anticipate a short conversation.

This lady called me on my cell phone, as I was driving to work, before 8:00am and asked for my 85 year old mother who is undergoing cancer treatment.  Would not tell me who she was, what she wanted, only that she needed to speak with my mother.  Would not say what it was regarding, but I don't know how she got my number. Pretty fishy.

It it was a debt collector it should  be a live person instead of a recording.this come from 1-877-208-4172.it should show the person that is call on cid

Regardless, what you need to know, to do, how to do it, what federal and state agencies to report them to, and how to make them pay you has been posted here:  https://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-877-205-1872#p1286311731148562995

I've gotten calls from this number every morning between 8-10 for the past month, calling for James L. Stewart. Although I usually don't answer calls from "Not Provided," yesterday and today I did. Yesterday, since I'm not nor do I know James L, Stewart, I listened to the message and pressed 2 to be removed from their list; after maybe 30 seconds, I was disconnected, having never spoken to anyone. This morning I pressed 1 to indicate that I'm James L. Smith, thinking I might get to speak to a person. A few seconds in I decided nobody was going to answer and hung up.

This company is unbelievable, they called me 5 times today and it's only 1pm in the day. They have been doing this everyday and I spoke to them multiple times and they said they will remove my number from their calling list every time that I spoke to them. I know one thing, everyone I know will know not to use this company ever for anything because I will let them know it is a horrible company.
