This was a hang-up (no message) from Delta Management Associates which appears to be a collection service.  Based on previous such calls, they are still looking for someone who used to have our telephone number 15 years ago.

How do I stop these calls?  I have made do not call complaints against them

The illegal telemarketers/scammers are criminals who ignore the law. To stop them use a call blocker. It will also stop those groups that are exempt from the DNC List. They're available online and start around $50 or so. https://800notes.com/nb/search?q=call+blockers

Delta management trying to get ahold of somebody through me because I answered one time. I block one number, they call from another.

You will need to send them a certified, return receipt debt validation (by law they have to go back to the original creditor to prove you owe the debt), cease and desist calling, or "not me" letter (this will be the best money that you have 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/

Massachusetts does not have a license listed for these criminals in violation of their state law.

It is incumbent upon them under the law to prove that the debt exists and that you owe it, and (this is the important part) 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.  If and when you get that letter you should immediately send that debt validation letter by certified, return receipt mail.

First, you should make a complaint at this Federal Agency, and while there you should also read up on how debt collection is supposed to work as well as what your rights in this matter are: https://www.consumerfinance.gov/

Also file complaints with the FTC: https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/#crnt&panel1-1

Also file a complaint with your State Attorney General's office.

Someone named Mariam Agobia or something like that left a message for me. I called back out of boredom and curiosity, they are a collection company called Delta Management something about college. Unfortunately I did not go to college. But wanted my dob, no can do. She was not happy I didn’t give her it and insisted it was me LOL. I told her I’m too old for college (69 years young). She threatened to call ok I said ok since I have nothing better to do than to rattle their cage! 😂 😂 😂
