these people are insane

Has anyone tried to register their number with the do not call registry...if so do they ignore the registry. I am so tired if them calling I finally put my number on the registry. It hasn't taken effect..or has it? I got 5 calls from them today. BTW..Yes I owe money, but due to a life/body altering accident I am no longer able to work. At first I spoke to them and said you tell social security to get a move on my case and I'll get a move on their payment...then I hang up.

Double check the Registry. If your number shows there, you can file a Complaint on the same website. They take that seriously and the fines for violators are high.

But as far as I can tell, it mainly covers telemarketers and not debt collectors.

It says that your number will show up on the Registry the very next day after you Register, but telemarketers have 31 days to remove it from their records.

the do not call list does not apply to debt collectors

I have been receiving call from "West Access Management" for about 4 months now. They are calling asking for the person who is handling the estate of _________. I was married to this person when I was 18 and we were divorces 5 yrs late when I was 22. I have had no contact with him since I was 22 yrs old. He did pass away approx 6 months ago according to the obits. I am NOW 54 yrs old. I looked the company up and see that it is some sort of collection I have 2 different phone #'s they are calling me from in case anyone is interested. 804-878-3317 and 866-597-4781. I dont know what to do at this point. I do not even want to call them. Perhaps I shoud try to recall the name of his sister and call them with her name? as she is more than likely the one handling his affairs?

Send them a Cease & Desist letter by Certified Mail, Return Receipt Requested. Specify that you have had absolutely NO contact with the person they are inquiring about for over 32 years and they are never to contact you again or they will be in violation of the FDCPA and you will file complaints with the Federal Trade Commission and your State Attorney General.

This company has been calling my home for a year now looking for the person who formerly had my telephone number. I have repeatedly asked them to quit calling. Their main phone number from my caller ID is 757-209-2013. The 1-800-496-7613 is the 800 number they leave. I called today to ask them to quit calling and they hung up on me. I am on the National Do Not call list and I filed a complaint with them today. I am tired of being harrassed for someones debt as I just got this telephone number on 3/1/08.

Collection agencies are exempt from the DO Not Call list....filing a compalint wont help. Send them a cease and desist.

I'm receiveing calls from 443-550-7975 on a daily basis. I know how to go about stopping debt collectors from contacting me but I have to send my cease and desist letter to an address that may not belong to them. They have so many.

They called me on a deceased person whom I am not related to. The number they gave to call was 866-597-4781 Our church provided a pallberer and cake and coffee to a family that had no assets for a woman who was on county assistance and blind. These are pure predators and unchristian. Please pray for those who are working their call lines.

Debts and religion have no connection...pretty well every person on the planet owes somebody something.

This company has been calling me for 6 months looking for another female with my same name but different social security number. what's worse is i have asked them four times now to put me on a do not call list and have requested information in writing - none of that has happened yet. They have been rude and do not seem to care when i repeat each time i'm not the girl. I've started to get her social memorized from talking to them so much.

i am filing a complaint with the better business bureau against them.

Also add the FTC, FCC, your states and their states AG, the ACA international. Also, send them a full cease comm letter stating you are not the consumer they are seeking and you will not hesitiate to file suit for the aggravation. If they continue after recieving it, sue them. It'll cost you $25 to file in small claims and you can sue them for up to $1000 with very little effort.

they are evil and they dont help at all. i was asking for a reciept and they kept hanging up on me i dont think they are legit!

they just started calling me about an overdrawn account from Chase that I can't afford to pay off at the present time. But since I have not received a letter from them yet, I threatened them, and they've quit calling for now. I told them that I'll make payment arrangements when I receive a letter. But it's going to be a cease and desist letter!
