It sounds that they are a collection agency collecting one of your past debts. Give a call back and know the purpose. You should get the debt validated in writing mention under section 809 of the fdcpa act.
i just got a call from these people too. i answered the phone and they asked for me by name. i didn't tell them it was me and simply asked to know who they were. they hung up on me. when i call back the line is always busy. jerks.

that number is for a scam artist. check out this website if you are unsure about numbers and never give out personal information to people over the phone, especially people that call you.

I have started calling them back, and am as rude to them as they have been to me. America it is time to come together and go after telemarketers. They have ruined the last supper.
I know it is irritating when someone out of the blue just comes and asks about your SSN, credit card number, name of your bank and employer. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
I got a call from them too. I was told they were "debt consultants" and they could help clear my debt all I had to do was give credit card or bank account info. Are they nuts? I asked for info by mail and was told no. End of call. Don't trust these guys!!

They called me and it seems they have a program that gives monthly reports to the Credit Bureau in order to help you establish a good credit rating . After you make a few payments you can have a cash advance ( $1,000 ) sent directly into your checking acct . Only fees are 9% on your unpaid balance .
Freedom Financial is a debt settlement company. My opinion of them is that they don't help their client very much because they don't give a fig about them. They would rather let something sit on their clients credit report rather than negotiate settlements.
By signing up for counseling session, your provided details (Name, Email ID and Phone No.) will be forwarded to the company advertising on the DebtCC. However, you have no obligation to use their services.
Some creditors and collection agencies refuse to lower the pay off amount, interest rate, and fees owed by the consumer.
Creditors/collection agencies can make collection calls and file lawsuits against the consumers represented by the debt relief companies.
Debt relief services may have a negative impact on the consumer's creditworthiness and his overall debt amount may increase due to the accumulation of extra fees.
The amount which the consumer saves with the use of debt relief services can be regarded as taxable income.
