"They" called yesterday evening (6.35 pm) and this morning (8.42 am). Since there was no "real person" on the line yesterday, I let the answering machine answer today and of course they (that is the auto-dailer) hung up.  I have no idea who they are or what they want.

I will file a complaint (Do-not-Call)everytime they call, since I am registered.

They stated that they got my phone number by a third party method such as
filling out a ballot somewhere, which is NOT true.

This number calls me at least 3 times a day, I just never answer it. I'm going to next time and tell them to stop. It gets extremely annoying!

Had to wait a good 10 seconds on the line before their subpar autodialer connected someone on the other side.

They asked for some random name, I told no such person lived here and informed them the number was on the donotcall list. They said okay, and the line went dead.

Good times.

same as everyone else.

Received several calls from this number today.  The third time I picked up and heard a recorded message stating that they were 'recording this call'
I have reported this number and practice to the FCC.

Just dead air when you answer what makes me mad its my cell phone and it uses my time. Calls at least 3 times a day. I have no credit cards of anykind.

Got a call at 5:30 am which woke me up.  When I tried calling back I got a quick response that I reached Debt Interstate??????

i go tcalle dby a really deep voice sayign they were goign to stick sumtin up my [***] and find me or sumtin im scared.. =/

Every day  two times in the morning and in the evening - "computer"'s call from 877-375-6990

In the United States, collection agencies such as CREDIT ACCEPTANCE operate both outside of the law. They call random people on the telephone asking to speak to total strangers that the people have never heard of before. The goal is to find someone that is willing to send money in order to stop the calls. Once such a victim is found, he or she is milked for more and more money. Note that the National "Do Not Call" Registry is ignored by collection agencies.

Collection agencies employ the old call-and-hang-up routine as well as prerecorded messages with threatening or intimidating words or tone of voice. They are also known to use a variety of phone numbers in order to defeat per-line call blocking. They may even use an unidentified name and number. To stop the latter, the phone company offers a free feature known as "anonymous call blocking".

I have learned a few techniques which may be useful to other victims. You must be an innocent victim, i.e. you never had any business with the collection agency in question. This was true for me. I have been harassed for over four years by an assortment of collection agencies asking to speak to about two or three different names, all of which are complete strangers to me.

First stop: <a href="http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/consumer.shtm">the Federal Trade Commission</a>. Call them at 1-877-382-4357 or visit them online at https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/ I spoke with a pleasant person on Friday morning who was most helpful. The wait was not long at all, and the entire call took about five minutes at most. I wish I could say I was optimistic about the outcome, but I have filed complaints with the FTC before, to no avail. The calls stop for a few months, but then resume. But at least it's something, and at least the calls stop for a few months.

Second stop: <a href="http://www.bbb.org/">the Better Business Bureau</a>. File a complaint against the business. In order to do this, it helps to have the zip code of the company question. If you don't have the zip code, you may need to speak with a customer service representative (CSR) who can locate that information for you.

Third stop: the Consumer Protection Hotline. There is a different one servicing each state. Locate the one in your state and file a complaint.

Fourth stop: Your local computer store. Purchase a computer modem, hook it up to your computer, and set it up to autodial the collection agency. Be sure to configure your modem to remain on the line until the phone is answered and a human speaks. Ideally, do not hang up until the person hangs up. Cost of the modem is minimal, but you will need some kind of terminal program such as Telix 3.11, which is still available for download. There also used to be a terminal program called ProComm. Either would suffice for the purpose.

Fifth stop: the company's web site. If the Collection Agency has identified itself in any way, then you may research the company. Find their email addresses, toll-free phone numbers, and fax numbers. These may be useful in a variety of ways. Be creative!

Sixth stop: the company's physical location. If you are nearby, why not stop by and let them know how you feel? It is always refreshing to talk to people in person.

Seventh stop: once you find out the full names of the employees of the company, you can begin researching where they live. The Internet offers you the phone numbers of anyone, anywhere, for a price. Once you find their personal home phone numbers, you can begin calling them and hanging up, just like they are doing to you. It may cause them to reevaluate their particular choice of career.

I have received numerous calls from this number.  At one of the calls the guy was becoming rude so I hung up.  The following time a lady called and was polite, but in all cases they want me to pay a debt by giving them my credit or debit card number.  I tell them no, and that I will never give out my card numbers over the phone.  Funny thing is, the amount of money I supposedly owe changes every time I speak to someone. I am thinking of changing my phone number.

I get from one to several calls daily from this number and answering machine goes on but they never leave a message.  I am on no call list but doesn't seem to help.

This is Interstate collections a harassing bottomfeeding nusance.I get several calls a day about an outstanding debt on an account i never had. They still insist that i owe them the balance. I've checked my credit report and as i suspected no outstanding debt. So now I'm looking for an attorney to get this monkey off my back

I received a phone call from this number.  They claimed to be Allied Interstate - a risk management business call, not a collection agency but that is in fact what they were trying to claim - that I had a balance with QVC.  They asked if this was "so and so", it was so I confirmed.  Then they asked if "xxxx" was the last four of my social, it was not.  They advised that I had a QVC balance of $802.49.  I told them that was impossible b/c I do not shop on QVC.  I did not provide them the correct last 4 of my social and hung up.  I contacted QVC - in fact I do not have a balance.  I called back the number that called me; I told them I caled QVC and in fact do not have a balance and that they have the wrong person.  They apologized and said they would correct their information to take me off the list.  THIS IS A TOTAL SCAM!  They were trying to get the last 4 of my social and a credit card number.
