Call me all the time at work.  Sometimes someone talks, sometimes they hang up.Never heard of them.

Todd...
You're just a total dick! No one here wants to hear your blathering, so shut the he'll up and go back under the rock you crawled out from you Freaking internet troll

Kept calling for my ex-husband apparently. I’m sure he does owe them something though.

They told me it's Usbank

They call everyday and don’t say anything, just hold the phone then hang up on my

A message in a British or maybe Australian accent identifying themselves as a debt collector.  I have gotten the same message with an American accent too.

this is a scam call   says its about a debt   I owe on one

its a collection agency

Hmm interesting,they just called my house  asking for a minor  that  doesn't even live here  -never has , it's a friend . .crazy

It’s an attorney’s office!

No it is not an attorney's office.  Either they told you that and you foolishly believed them or you are not telling the truth.

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/

Everything else you need to know follows including at least two or more federal and state agencies where you should report their criminal activities.

APELLES, LLC.

Web page lists them in Ohio:  http://www.apellesnow.com/contact.html

BBB gives them an accredited A+ with 8 complaints and no reviews (BBB removed 9 complaints and 3 negative reviews) as of 12/8/20:  http://www.bbb.org/centralohio/business-revie ... us-oh-14008261/

Interesting that their LinkedIn page doesn’t seem to mention that they also issue loans.  I would think that would be a conflict of interest on their part.  Of course that would be a good way for them to get around having to follow FDCPA laws.  https://www.linkedin.com/company/apelles

Note that this web site indicates they also issue mortgages:  http://mortgage-lenders.credio.com/l/57958/Apelles-LLC

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.

"No I don't work USbank I've got experiance"
Really?? Spell check is free so is ignorance

They been hardassing me from 6am to midnight everyday

Well, there's a very useful & informative post written by BigA on this very page. Have you read it?

We are continuing to get calls from this number and this is a business line. They need to say who they are calling for. Probably just a scam.

Well that problem is very easily solved.

They called my husband saying we owed USBank. We paid that account off two years ago.

I've gotten a call three days in a row from this number, and finally today I decided to answer-- no voice mail was ever left, and I was curious, so. I answered, and said hello twice, but I couldn't hear anything at all (my volume was up, but I turned it up more just in case, but there was no background noise or anything at all). After about 20sec I said I couldn't hear anything and just hung up.

It’s currently June 21, 2023 and this call is still going around
