I dont know what debt collector this is from but looking at your messages I see that its something called Advanta which I dont know anything about. My complaint is not only that they call and tell you that you owe money but Michael or whatever his name was LITERALLY YELLING at me telling me Im the person they are looking for and that I need to pay my bills, but it wasnt even for me. Idk what kind of tactics they learned but Im very suprised that they are still in business

Debt scammer crooks don't really go out of business or out of style.  The yelling and threats work on all too many people. You can try blocking the number.  There is not much to be gained by talking to them.  There is a post from BigA on page 17 that gives you some background on this outfit.

I had to go all the way back to posts from 2012 to reference one that says that this might be a place called Cardworks that was bought by some company named Advanta.  I also referenced some of the newer posts and see that it is more likely an outfit named Cornerstone.

This number calls me all the time. have no idea who it is . figure it is a debt collector. filed chapter 7  bankruptcy last year due to a divorce. all debts were written off .apparently they don't get the message.

Never heard of advanta, gave no idea why they would be calling me. They call me 6-7x a day, won't leave a message, need to block them

Call all the timr early morn late at night i never pick up and they dnt leave messages.  Def debt collector but no for real or they would of sent ketters of debt, my underztandibg they have to, to confirm there is a debt.  Scam caller, watch they will try to call family and they xalled my husband and said they haf warrant fir me he played dumb.  They called me shortly after left message they were comibg to my plcae ofvwork, which tells you they have no idea where u wirk, btw 11  2 to sign legal papers and my manager would have ti sign them too.  They r vreakibg the law u cannot threaten anyone

This number calls me everyday sometimes up to 3 times a day...I know its most likely a crooked debt collector so I dont answer, or when I have answered I dont say hello or anything I just listen & they hang up so it must not be automated.

Why do they keep calling when I tell them I'm not the person they're calling nor do I owe them anything.

Well, if you were the person they were looking for would you not be telling them the same thing?  This is why you should always tell them via a certified, return receipt "not me" letter.  That way you can prove you told them.  However it looks like these might be criminals pretending to be debt collectors.

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 a complaint with your State Attorney General's office.

What credit card is Advanta (I have never had a credit card by this name?)

Who is Advanta or what company did they replace?

Have received over 100 calls from this number. Never leaves a message just dead silent. Expect for 2 times once a guy that demand to be called back. Huh no!, then a female just saying hello, hello, hello just a few choice words n hung up, never stated who they are a
Or what they wanted. I dont answer numbers i dont know n u dont leave a message with some type of info, then NO.

I have received MANY calls from this # they dont leave a message at all! it makes me VERY nervous! i have no idea who they are or anything!

It's a good thing you came here, then. There are 18 pages of information on this number.

they are a debt collector who is an attorney that buys debts and jacks up the amount due.  I got a letter from them in refernce to Merrick bank and I asked validation never got it and after the second letter requesting the info they did ansewer and said I owed about 300 more than the orginal bill.  I was already payning Merrick bank a pre arranged repayment plan and when I called yesterday to make my payment this jerk of a debt collector answered the phone. He said that they had taken over the account.  I had kept accurate records of the account during the payments so I knew what I ahd paid.  After I contacted the bank again they took my payment I asked them about this and they saaid that he was a rep working in their center in the afternoons and I told them what he was saying and that he said I owed about $200 more than the balance the klady checked it and said that mine and her figures were correct so that showd that this guy was trying to gain more than what was owed if any doubt call yur original creditor and ask them.

PERSISTENT,  AND NEVER LEAVES MESSAGE
