Debt collection is not in the FCC's wheelhouse. The FCC is not the go-to for every phone call problem in creation. File complaints with the CFPB, FTC, and attorneys general. You have a right to end debt collection calls yourself by contacting their source.

Pretty bad when you've had Federal laws for almost four decades to help you control debt collection and you never use them.

If you'll "sometimes pick up the phone", you might as well demand an end to the calls, as is your right. Wishing and hanging up does not invoke that right.

} she is getting the calls because they don't have my number

Don't be too sure the skiptracing is innocent. Hassling relatives and "nearbys" is a well established junk debt collection tactic, including when the hunted person's contact data are already known. If you're so certain of your debt liability, one Certified letter can stop the noise, and one lawsuit can reward you if MCM ignored the FDCPA, TCPA, et al.

That persistence is exactly what works on some people, that and default judgments on people who ignore the entire collection process. Please support your implication that MCM manages a call center in Nigeria.

The high rate of abandoned calls suggests a misused predictive dialer. The secrecy may mean you're getting skip traces for some other person. Verbal demands to quit have a lower rate of success than written.

800Notes is not a messaging service. 800Notes does not send alerts to your callers when you post here, a complaint website with public access.

"They still keep calling" because you've yet to tell MCM to stop. Silencing the noise at your end is not the same thing. Calls after 08:00 are permitted by Federal law, which is usually mirrored by state law.

To halt the misfired skip trace calls, laying a paper trail is far more effective than verbal denials. My advice for "not me" cases is found here:

What you should do is find a number thread for "Alexander Bernard" and comment there instead. This one concerns Midland Credit Management. Next you might compile all your communications with the collector, find its location if possible, and sue for the several FDCPA violations suggested by your story. There are right and wrong ways to collect a debt, and any company hell bent on doing wrong should not be paid by anyone.

I especially enjoy the creative lie about a derogatory trade line magically vanishing from credit reports just prior to filing suit. Creditors and debt collectors don't have that power and it would be no use to them if they did.

You might think so, but a predictive dialer doesn't think or feel anything. It's dirt cheap to keep calling you 250 more times, until you respond and demand either debt validation or cessation as appropriate.

Again, a link to the settlement website and a brief writeup would have sufficed. This also does nothing for all the people in this thread reporting calls since September 2014.

They call  time after time after after time after time looking for Taresa Chaney or Charles Chick to pay debt owed to swift trucking school.very rude rude business weird [***] business repects no one.
