I have been unable to figure out who's number this is. It calls me 4 or 5 times a day and no one ever leaves a voice mail or when I am home I pick up the phone and no one is there.

This number seems to be from a collection agency. The funniest thing is that he won't leave his voice. A recording will say that a judgment is being issued against you. I was about to fall for this crap. Ask your phone company to block this number.

It's from HSBC Card Services...telemarketing...call back the number and hit option #2....and remove your phone number from their list.....if you have an HSBC credit card that is probably where they got your number...

Hello, This number calls me and we have only had this number 2 months now. I've tried with a message on the answering machine that we are not who they want. I tried calling back and no one answers. How can anyone call when noone is there???? I wish they would STOP> I just moved and have lost my Parents recently and just want to be left alone!! Belle

You can contact your phone company and see if you can block this number. If not, then you can get anonymous caller rejection and it will not accept it.

Anyone know how this works with the National Do Not Call block? Seems if your number is on the list, they shouldn't be able to call you.

The Do Not Call list https://www.donotcall.gov/ is only for stopping telemarketers from calling you. However, charities are exempt from the list. Also, per the exceptions:

29. If I register my number on the National Do Not Call Registry, will it stop all telemarketing calls?

No. Placing your number on the National Do Not Call Registry will stop most telemarketing calls, but not all. Because of limitations in the jurisdiction of the FTC and FCC, calls from or on behalf of political organizations, charities, and telephone surveyors would still be permitted, as would calls from companies with which you have an existing business relationship, or those to whom you’ve provided express agreement in writing to receive their calls.

So if you have a relationship with them, they will call you. But, if you have the relationship with them, you can opt out from telemarketing calls by simply asking. Each company is different, so read their fine print.

I too got 4 or 5 calls a day from this number. Called back and had them take me off the telemarketing list. It was because I got an HSBC credit card.

We recently received a call from this number yesterday evening. I saw the number appears on our caller ID appearing as Out of Area but no company name. This rude nasty woman had the audacity to call our house and did not bother to identify herself. I asked this rude woman 3 times to identify herself and she refused and then a 3rd time she finally identified who she was but abruptly "Raised" her voice at me and I told her off point blank do not raise her voice at me and I slammed the phone in her ear. These people when they call your residence that they need to initially identify themselves first of all and be polite about it. That idiot woman got me very mad and I called this number back to ask to speak with a supervisor and all I received was a recorded message regarding a HSBC telemarketing call and that's is how I found out who this company was. I called this number back at least 3 times and every time I was unable to speak with a live body. I wished I could have spoken to a live person to report that rude stupid woman's bad attitude because believe me I would have. The recorded message gave you 2 options on this phone number I punched our phone number in to take us off of their calling list. I also received a message that it would take about 30 days for this to take effect...that is unbelievable. I blocked this telephone number as well on my own.

Thanks

I have a Orchard Mastercard through HSBC. I believe it stands for Household Bank.

[size=18]As posted bt the above person, calling back 800-446-1022 & choosing option 2 does work. The answering voice says 30 days to be removed.

Once I picked up and someone wanted to speak with my dad but he wasn't home so they just said okay and hung up. Now whenever they call I just pick up and hang up. It it so annoying they won't stop calling.

Actually, HSBC stands for "Hong Kong & Shanghai Banking Corporation" they bought out a lot of other smaller banks a few years ago.

the number is HSBC card services. It can also be Direct Merchance. I get 12-15 calls from them a day including Sundays. I want to know who to stop these calls. I have a credit card from them that I have turned over to a debt management program, they have accepted the terms and a payment but they are still calling 12-15 times a day wanting the payment I was behind 10 days before the debt management program paid the first payment.I have told them the situation and not to call again but they are still calling. I want to know what harassment is if this isn't.
