i don't know

I havent a clue what they wanted.

I have been getting phone calls from this number once a day(!) for the past few months. A machine recording tells me that there is an important legal matter and gives me a number to call (haven't called it). Very annoying.

I called the number back after dealing with a very rude person whom hung up on me.

I spoke with a young woman who identified herself as Ms. Green from the law offices of Bennete, Delainey, and Noive (spelling might be off on those).  The phone call was recorded.  She stated they were collecting a debt on behalf of Walmart, etc. etc.  After we spoke for a little while it became evident that they had the wrong person, and we cleared the matter up.  It is my belief they were calling all people in my area with the same name, hoping to find the right one, in order to collect a debt.  I also believe that they are a collection agency, rather than law offices.  But I have nothing to verify my beliefs.

This is a law firm based in Midvale, UT who do a lot of collections. If they do not have the full phone telephone number for a collection target, they have their computer dial up all of the surrounding area codes using the target local number with a message that they have "an important legal matter" to discuss in hopes that the target calls back. Unfortunately, they have been calling my cell phone almost daily for the past month. I was not the target they were seeking and were apologetic. However, I expressed my concern that they had been harassing me with a call that cost me money.

I have been getting calls from this number, and I am about to have my telephone taking out. I dont have any past bills. I have tried to talk with them withiut ant success.

Just received this new number after moving.  Same annoying legal matter garbage.  They call every day at least three times.  I can almost set my watch by it.  I think the previous owner of my phone number owes lots of debts.

I got a call today and found it very interesting that they will not leave me a voicemail message, seems like a telemarketer to me. I guess it could just be because it is a machine calling but I plan on registering a complaint with the FCC about this "law office's" calling practices. I am almost 100% sure they are not calling for me but I also believe it is illegal for them to "phish" for the person they are looking for, it's called harassment!!

Posted on Jun 22nd and they are still calling twice a day but it has become worse.  They now call early on Saturday morning 4 times in a row every 15 minutes.  I stopped answering about a month ago but that doesn't seem to help.  Anyone have any success getting rid of this nuisance?

Yup they have been calling me 3 times a day for about a month. Is there any sort of governing body that we can complain to

My name is Rich DeLoney.  I am one of the sharholders of Bennett, DeLoney & Noyes, the law firm that you are concerned about.  We apologoze to all of you for phone calls made due to mistaken identities.  We operate a high volume collection law firm and must necessarily call people who owe money.  Our policy is to remove wrong numbers from our data base as we become aware of them.  Calling the incorrect party does not serve us or our clients - so we are interested in removing the incorrect numbers.  Please call the firm at 800 815-1177 to have your number removed if you are being called by mistake.  Our collectors are trained, but if some reason you do not feel satisfied, please ask for Tony Black, who is the collection manager.

Jody,

Just so you know, we do not call everyone with the same name in a given area code to collect a debt.  We rely on the best information we can obtain in an effort to locate the correct people.  Unfortunately the information is not infallible, especailly with the mobile demographic who seem to move addresses and phone numbers rather frequently.

Also, we are a law firm, not a collection agency.  Part of our business model is to make phone calls and send letters in an effort to resolve debts for our clients.  

Sincerely,

Rich DeLoney

Joe,

Call 800 815-1177 and ask for Tony Black the collection manager.  he should be able to help you.

Sincerely,

Rich DeLoney

Coral,

I'm not quite understanding your complaint, but you are free to call Tony Black at 800 815-1177.  He is the collection manager.  If he can't satisfy you, please ask for me.

Sincerely,

Rich DeLoney

Jim,

Please call 800 815-1177 and ask for Tony Black, Bruce Crapo or Victoria Bott.  this calling pattern seems incorrect.  We can solve this if it is still happening.

Yours Truly,

Rich DeLoney

i was also getting these calls. I e-mailed the law firm and received a prompt reply back offering a resolution to the issues described in these posts. I was not the target either. My advice to all who post here is to follow the suggestions of Mr. DeLoney (call the toll free number) and ask for them to stop calling if you are not the intended target.

This place calls non stop. I've reported that this is an error, ut they refuse to stop calling my cell phone- which I use for work. I have tried not answering and even that doesn't work. They continue to call at all hours. They do not leave a voice mail, they just call back again and again throughout the day and night. I have documented these harassing calls on weekends as early as 7:30am and in the evening after 7 pm. It seems that they are a "law firm" which is really a collection agency that is ill-equipt to verify the legitimacy of the debts they are attempting to collect. For more information on dealing with these types of agencies visit Section 807(4) of the Federal Trade Commission Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.
You may also want to contact the FTC to make a complaint at 1-877-FTC-HELP.

I was called on my cell phone today and was spoken to in a harrassing manner that intimidated and frightened me.  When I asked to speak to their supervisor or one of the attorneys, they refused unless I provided them with my name, file number, or telephone number. When I refused to give out personal information, they stated they were not going to "play games with me" and I could give it to them or they would hang up.  When I stated I would file a grievance they told me to "go ahead."  I have had my phone number for 13 years and I pay my debts.  I tried to explain my concern was not that they called my number by mistake, but the manner in which I was treated throughout my encounter.  The website says how important professionalism is to this company.  It was sorely lacking in my encounter. I am appalled that anyone is treated in the manner I was treated, even if they owe a debt.

Google "Bennett and Deloney" and the picture that emerges is radically different from the one "Rick" (above) has been painting - and it's not for the easily nauseated.

There's this: www.ripoffreport.com (search for "deloney" and you'll find over half a dozen interesting and unflattering pieces).  Then, there's this: www.debtconsolidationcare.com.  (Search for "deloney" and more sleaze pops up).  But if you really want an eyeful, check this out from Bud Hibbs' website:

"Bud Says [of Bennett & Deloney]...

"Hold your nose, get ready to wash your hands, the smell from this assortment of wasted law licenses makes a garbage barge smell like perfume. These are TOXIC WASTE debt collectors, some of the worst in America.

"The following individuals are still licensed to practice law in Utah and work under the name of Bennett & DeLoney aka Stinkum & Smelly:

"Richard H. DeLoney
"Michael B. Bennett
"Douglas R. Short
"Derek J. Barcla
"Michael J. Young

"These disgusting low life's, give a new meaning to con-men and scum bags. They are the lowest...of the low!! Vultures, con-men, thieves, dirty, disgusting, wasted law licenses, I can't conjure up a phrase that adequately describes the sheer ugliness and disgust of this group of lawless holders of bar cards and law licenses.

"TO SEND THE CEASE-COMM LETTER:
FAX: (801)963-9955
Email: mbennett@benlaw.com

"DO NOT DEAL WITH THIS LAW FIRM UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE! THEY ARE LIARS, CON-MEN, THIEVES!

"They were recently fined more than $50,000 by the state of West Virginia for ripping people off on bounced check fees. These losers of law must be snorting something that fogs their abilities to count from 1-10, because the way they figure a debt is to add on fees that boggle any rationale thinking individual.

"Bennett & DeLoney come across in their letters as nuts and wacko's! They are so far out there that they can't even justify their dealings.

"Use the FREE cease-comm letter, get rid of these crazies, they are too far gone!

"Also, below are updated e-mail addresses & website for Bennett & Deloney:
www.bennett-deloney.com
rdeloney@bennett-deloney.com

Sounds pretty gruesome.  Apparently, you deal with this dreck at your own risk.
