You are right, they do have the right to call, because they are not marketing anything to you. They are calling you so that you pay your bill. Paying your bill is the best way to not have these calls placed to you. Instead of paying for attorney's, etc. just pay the bill and they will leave you alone.

i called there toll free number and told them that the person that they are trying to contact is not me "IT IS" and that they need to stop calling.I havent gotten a call since that day, but they used to call me 7 times in one day starting from 8:02-9:00. They are ruthless and mean. i was going to press charges if they didnt stop calling me.

I received a call this morning from a desperate woman who has been receiving calls for me at her home at a phone number which I never owned. She finally got their 800#, and called me to ask if I could call them. All she wanted was for them to stop the almost weekly, sometimes daily, and even repeated calls she has received for the past six months or so. I'm located in 434 area code of Virginia. I just called them to find out the scoop. I spoke with a Mr. Timmons (he would not provide me with his first name!). The company is called Focus Receivables Management, and he would not tell me where they were located. I have not checked them out yet, so I said nothing to the person regarding my information.

Just wanted to pass this along. I would love to turn them in! How?

Hi sdavis

Welcome to the forums.

Send them a written letter explaining that they are in touch with the wrong person. You should mention that they are required to cease and desist all collection efforts after receiving your letter. If they contact you, it will be a violation of the fdcpa law and you will be in charge of filing a lawsuit against them.

I also insist you to file your complaints at the FTC, BBB and the state attorney general office so that the government bodies can take necessary actions against them.

Following is the address to contact the company.

I am also getting the call everyday and they are asking for someone I have never heard of. I called them back and asked them to take me off of the "dang" calling list and he told me that I was rude for using the word "dang", but he would take me off. Since then they have called everyday.

are calling a friend of mine, with a recording of my name. saying they have a personal matter with me. crazy. what the heck is this?

Me2

If the caller has to inform you anything, then he should call you up. He should not call your friend's place and disturb him.

If the company does not stop calling him, ask your friend to record the calls and inform the caller that the phone calls are being recorded for legal actions.

I have been getting calls on my cell phone for months now for a person I don't know. I have called and when I finally got a "live" person and told them I wasn't the person they mentioned and gave them my phone number, they suddenly hung up. I called today and talked with someone who asked me my phone number several times and then said that number wasn't in their database and he transferred me to a supervisor, which ended up being a voice mail to leave my name and number and he would call me back. I just said my number and the name they kept trying to call and said it wasn't me and to take my number off their database. We'll see what happens. When I had asked the person who answered the phone what the name of the company was, all I could understand was ----- Management. I figured it was a debt collection agency. I was glad to find this web site about this particular phone number. I have copied down the addresses given and will write them.

Hi Kristine

Welcome to the forums.

To make your request even more important and give it the legal shape, send a letter through certified mail with return receipt requested. The company should stop calling you after they have received your cease and desist letter.

The fdcpa law restricts the collection agency from calling you at your place of work or your home except to notify you about any type of legal actions being taken against you. Write in your letter that you wish to be contacted only through mail. Hopefully, they will stop calling you as it has been identified by them that they are calling the wrong person.

Kristine, do keep us posted on this matter.

Roxette

a computer keeps calling my sister and telling her there is an urgent matter that i must attend to. I called the 866-664-2513 number and was on hold for over 30 minutes. i finally hung up with no idea who or what this is all about.

Keep trying till you hear someone live. Since the call is made from the computer, you have to get someone so that the number is removed from the system. It's sad but this is the only way.

Best of luck!
