It's UPG a collection agency for payday loans such as advanced America   They will leave a message with a reference number when calling.  But they will also call all of your other references and job too.

This is a common ploy by criminals attempting to extort money from people by scaring you into believing that you will be criminally charged, go to jail, lose your driver’s license, have wages garnished, be sued, and a variety of other variations on this,  all for an alleged or nonexistent debt.  They also use the “process server” who calls and claims he is going to serve you, but then says you could avoid it by calling another number.  Now why would a “process server” want to do you, a stranger, a favor, and at the same time not get paid to deliver the papers?

Federal law (FDCPA) requires them to send you a letter (US MAIL ONLY) 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 receipt of the letter and if you do so, all collection activity must be stopped until the debt is verified.

They constantly kept calling me and I don't want them to call anymore.

I'm on a no call list and I still get these calls constantly.  I know for a fact I don't owe anyone money. What can be done to stop these people from calling?

1.  Read BigA's earlier answer, for understanding

2.  Obtain a call blocking app, device or service.

Thank you  Bobby for telling us who they are

they kept calling my husband's phone wanting his ex girlfriend, he repeatedly told them to stop calling and he hadn't seen her in 4 years, but they continued to call....i called them from my phone and told them to stop, the lady was very unprofessional...she wouldn't even listen to me or let me talk...i kept calling back until i got someone who would listen to me...they told me they removed his number, so if he gets another call from them i will be calling them back

I'm getting recorded calls asking for family members to my cell phone

Isn't there something that can be done about this though? It seems like this has been going on FOREVER. I wish someone could sue these companies/a$$holes. LOL!

This collection agency is one of the most unprofessional agency I have ever encountered. They repeatedly call my husband for his ex wife that is remarried. I have called and told them her number, his number, address etc but they keep calling us. I age blocked their number, they just call on another line.

Constant calls. They even called my parents, I'm 37....I found this online:

Please help STOP THESE ANNOYING CALLS
THANKS

Refer to the other posts on here such as BigA's and Slim's.

This company keeps calling every day for someone who I know. When I call the number they give out they put me on hold and  I waited and then got cut off! When I called back and told them I got cut off, they hung up on me!

My husband just received a call from these criminals. They have very good stolen information about a bank we used for our checking accounts in the past  that was closed years ago. They had his social, an email address one letter off from a former email address that I used, and haven't used for many years.  They are forceful and hostile when they call, and like to "tell you what your going to do", they are very unprofessional and poor actors trying their best to sound legitimate. I called them back, and spoke with two women both named Stephanie.  But that is my experience with the criminals, now I'm off to file complaints, and reports of this matter.

They used 888-319-0309 and 888-214-3992. When they called my husband. They don't seem to like the fact I recorded the calls.....they hang up on you much more quickly, I highly recommend it.

Thank you for posting your comment!  Without people like you, these criminals could do some damage with the personal information they have.

Have received numerous calls from this upg first from 888-214-3992 than after few weeks they started with 888-319-0309 number with same female recorded voice with claim number have put both numbers on reject guess they switch numbers when the 214 didn't work I am getting tired of these scammers how do they get your number early this year had to fight delaware solution and concord solution made the mistake of calling them back than reporteded them to attorney general in my state and a complaint to the consumer fraudiantal shouldn't have to do all of this getting tired of all of it.
