877-999-1960

conserve, continental, etc

like all scammers, trying to confuse the people they call about nonexistent "debt"

check Rad's post:  he got so tired of their harassment that he called them 13 times in one day--to the point that they started blocking HIS calls!

lol

They are zombie debt collectors who bought uncollectible "debts" that aren't enforceable, usually for pennies on the dollar.

Any "student" debt was held by the original lenders, now it is just "debt"--THEIR debt.

Good luck with that!

This company is a collection agency looking for an Andrew who defaulted on student loans. I am not Andrew, I do not have student loans, and despite several times asking, they won't stop calling.

They called and asked if my birthdate was May 1, 1987.  I don't know how they got my birthdate or who they are...

Got a call today and asked for someone I have no idea who he was.

just block their number & be done with them  :)

They call all hours of the night. I have them on rejected calls. They don't leave a message.

good god we should take a class action suit against them. This is ridiculous

Only uses the minutes if you answer the call

Could not indicate who they were just trying to gather information about a former name i may have had

They keep calling my work despite being told to stop.

Receive calls from this number.  The call is disconnected as soon as I say hello.

Conserv, the con job call which I will avoid. I did however dial *67-1-877-999-1960 for sure and will do several more hang-ups on the fools since they never do the world any good anyway. Happy pay back!

John wanted to speak to my wife. Would not give me his company's address or any other information because it was confidential and he was not allowed to give that out to anyone other than my wife. ha ha

Well the pay back will be on you, since *67 doesn't work on toll free numbers, so they know exactly who is calling.  Maybe they will spoof your phone number to make calls.

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 (think of it as the best $6.59 you 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 agencies where you should report their criminal activities.

The fact that these criminals have so many names speaks volumes about their legitimacy.

It is incumbent upon them under the law to prove that the debt exists and that you owe it, and 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.
