Has anyone ever heard of a company called American Agencies phone number (800) 521-5165? I have no idea why they might be calling me, they have called on my cell phone for weeks and never leave a message other than today for the first time. I always have a lot of missed calls and I never call back unless a message is left. So I called it back and it just says Thank you for calling American Agencies, for English press one, all calls are monitored etc etc etc. Is this a collection agency or is it something else?

ahhh ... it IS a collection agency!

Question .... if I have not gotten any mail from this company, nor are they (as of 4 days to 2 weeks ago between the 3 credit reporting agencies) on my Credit reports. Should I call them back? Or should I wait a week or so to ensure that no mail is coming to me, then call them and have them remove my number from their call list?

anyone have any dealings with them, who they collect for, etc?

These overbearing collectors keep calling and harassing me even after I told them to STOP! I'm fed up with them and have notified the FTC about their illegal practices!
If enough of us complain, then the government will have to do something about them.
You can file a complaint with the FTC online...
Just go to the ftc's webpage and go to the tab for consumer protection.

You have to send them a limited C&D notice by CMRRR. Tell them to contact you by US Mail only; the calls should stop.

they have not called me since the day or so after I first posted asking about who they were. Maybe they had a wrong number?

American Agencies Sucks! · Posted: Sat Nov 01, 2008 8:16 pm Subject: Pay all your other debts first!

This company rarely negotiates... ALL OTHER CREDITORS DO! It would make sense to pay off all your other delinquent accounts before even thinking about paying off these bloodsuckers!!!

This agency called me to try to collect on a 15 year old debt from an old Bally's card. Bally's has no record of this debt and the statute of limitations for collections of this sort is 4 years.

This is the second time in about 3 years that this company has called on this account. The first time I received a letter and sent them the notification that the account had exceeded California statute of limitations. Didn't hear from them again until today.

I finally went to the Federal Trade Commission Call enforcement division at:
https://complaints.donotcall.gov/complaint/complaintcheck.aspx?panel=2

and filed out the online violation form. I figure with our taxes we can have federal government enforcement of unscrupulous business use of our phone system, which we pay for.
