just another strong arm debt collector who has  repurchased an old debt and doesnt even know if the debt is current untill they call and try to intimidate you.  In this case they are trying to collect old debt from before I filed for bankruptcy.  
-So is it ethical to purchase debt for pennies on the dollar and expect repayment in full with interest?   They were not the original debtors, their investment is minimal.
-Is it ethical to attempt to collect on debts that you dont know the actual original amount, or validity of?
-Is it ethical to attempt to collect on debts that are dismissed through bankruptcy court (all  the while assuming the individual doesnt know what his legal rights are?  And all the while pretending to be the collections arm of a firm  with a legal backing?)
-Is it ethical to try to collect on debt that you know has expired beyond the statute of limitations to collect?
No there is nothing shameful about putting these collections people in their rightful debased position in life.  If you know anyone personally who works in this position, gently suggest there are better ways to make an honest livelihood.

Called me at 5:29 in the MORNING!!! Isn't that ILLEGAL???

I desperately need help from you guys! I had a credit card with a major company for many years. Up until a year ago, I had been making minimum payments for close to 10 years while my balance kept increasing. A couple of years ago we were facing foreclosure and stopped paying the monthly payments. I was able to get on a payment plan with the credit card company where they debited the amount each month from my checking account. After 12 months, they stopped deducting payments but I didn't realize it until they started calling me that I wasn't making payments. They then told me I had to pay a large chunk of my balance before they would allow me to begin another payment plan. I told them I wasn't able to pay the large chunk but wanted to continue a payment plan. After a lengthy one hour phone call, they wouldn't work with me and said they would be sending me to a collections agency. That agency is Richard J. Boudreau. I have never answered their calls or spoken to them out of fear because of what I have read on the internet about them.

A few days ago I found an envelope in the door of my home with my name hand written on it and nothing else. Inside is what appears to be a copy of a court summons. Is this legal? Am I being served? Should I respond to this? I'm so afraid they are going to garnish my wages or my bank account. Help and advice is greatly appreciated.

They owe a bill that they didnt pay and it was prob transfered to them because they bought the debt out from another company...... You people wig out over the simpilest thing... LoL  PAY UR BILLS

This isn't a discussion as to whether or not we should "pay our bills".

This is about our rights concerning the collection of debts.

LOL

got this call too, don't know who it is and want it to go away

if you have optimum as I have for my phone block the number is for free. check your phone company, sometimes with your 12 or more calling options they include it

I went further, I just blocked their number with usage controls.

Received a call from ...........877-404-4490

Caller ID shows..........    " Toll Free Call "

   Very mysterious woman....I had to ask her five (5) times who she was, being vague each answer.
She then stated, she was the law firm ...   "Boudrow" (?) ( not sure on spelling )

  I informed them they had the wrong number, and informed further to remove my number from the file.
I called the number back..... it was a "Collections Agency" .....  they are attempting to scare the public
stating they are a law firm !!!!!!!!   Slick Operators........

I am registered on the ......."DO NOT CALL LIST"

also 781-404-4088

Pretend you're not yourself. Call the collector back tell them you just received a call from this number.  They ask for the number and then ask for whoever it's attached to in their system.  Tell them you don't know said person even (if its you), proceed to tell them you just got a new cell phone number and have been receiving collection calls nonstop for the deadbeat they are looking for.  They'll then take your number out of their system.

Getting calls  from them now before 9 a.m. Reprted.

Funny story [***], one or your reputable agencies contacted an ex sister in law.....she wasn family any longer and now its harassment.....leave your arrogant idealogoy outts this post [***], you have no idea why some of these people cant pay. Go take your six figure [***] lower than a botom feeder job n go brag to all your welfare scamming buddies about how you get paid to be a dick, I'm sure your parents are sooooo proud that was all you could do for a living is harass those with personal troubles........Douche canoe!!!!

KD,  the Do Not Call registry is for Telemarketers  (Telephone sales of goods or services) only.  It does not apply to debt collectors or any other unwanted caller that is not calling to sell or solicite funds.

Why did you report it?  Federally mandated hours for calling is  8am-9pm.   Google it or go to FTC site and check it out.

The are rude!!  The guy kept calling me a liar and said I had no inttent on giving any maoney.  I am 2 months late due to hardship and always paid on time.  The creditor knew this and even stopped sending me bills, which I sent anyway.
The guy  was Arthur and I intend to report him.  He wanted all or nothing and would not let me pay it off.

Just got a call from this number a little while ago, but no message was left.  Came up on Caller ID as follows:
Toll Free Call
877-404-4490

they keep calling and I asking for personal information, it's creepy

They keep calling even though I told then to put me on a 'do not call'

They claimed to be calling from Discover card about a joint credit card account with me and my son. We do not have a joint credit card with Discover. I called Discover directly, there was no one associated with them from 877-404-4490. What is disturbing is that my called ID identified the called as Discover Card! Discover flagged this number and is looking into it.
