Have the number blocked if you can.  CASE CLOSED!

I mean I have a credit rating of over 800!  Who in the hec would I owe money to with a rating like that.  They really should do their homework first.

The thing is that someone with bad credit gave your phone numberto the credit company  when they applied for as loan or credit card.
I keep getting these calls too because a friend gave meand my phone number as a reference. The Do not call list is useless.

They were fishing for data. They have your name and phone number on there screen when you call. but they just kept asking. I gave them NO info. and I just kept calling them every 5 minutes till to show them how it feels to be harassed by an auto dialer. they said they would take me off the auto dialer.

received phone call today. didn't answer because I didn't recognize phone number. no message left.

Called asking for some guy named Daniel, I've had my number for over 6yrs & never received a call for a daniel before.  Then she asked me if I knew who he was lol.  Nope!

call from Van Ro credit corporation. I owe no money to anyone. These jerks need to go to jail!!!!!!!!!!!!

They call and ask for smeone we don't know. They keep calling daily even after being told we don't even know the person. We keep getting recordings now. We just hang up.

I see that this must be their practice, calling people that aren't at your number.  I get about 6 calls per day from this number.  I do not answer any more.  I tried to block the number, but with my phone service they said I would have to "upgrade" to do so.  Seriously, if I want to block one annoying number I will have to pay for it.  Not worth my money, I will continue to not answer and then erase the message for an unknown person.  Annoying!!

They just called again and left a message asking if I was Vincent light and if I was press 1 and if I am not press 2..they are phishing..I have no idea who Vincent light is

You 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/

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.

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.
