(800) 670-9944 - Does this number belong to Omni Credit Services?

Call 800-670-9944 and know the reason why are they calling you? I assume this may be something about one of your past debt. If they calling you with legitimate reasons, the info should be given to you otherwise, talk to their supervisor and get your number removed from their system.

If you see in my original post we DID call 800-670-9944 and DID try to find out information but the person hung up on us only to leave a new message on my machine. Of course I know this is for a past debt, otherwise I wouldn????????t have posted a question here about it.

I want to find out who they are collecting for and send a cease letter to stop them from calling me but they are being uncooperative. And I can't send a cease letter through the phone to 800-670-9944, can I? So I thought perhaps someone here would have experience dealing with them.

I will try to find the info on the company that's calling from 800-670-9944.

Don't stop calling them until you get their reasons. If you are not able to solve the problem with one person, you have to talk to one of their supervisor and get a remedy. When someone hangs up on your call, believe that you are doing something right.

You may also call the phone company and get 800-670-9944 blocked if this is not getting solved.

Updating the situation.

A few days before Christmas my hubby spoke to the same woman calling from 800-670-9944. We found out they are trying to collect for a Macy's account. Hubby asked them to send something in writing and the woman refused. She stated she was not obligated to send me anything. Hubby tried to get her address and she refused.

She has been calling and leaving messages two to three times a day every day. This woman has no concept about how to WAIT FOR A BEEP when speaking to a machine. By the time my machine connects she's done with the message and is saying goodbye.

I recently got this company's address through someone from these boards, and am planning on sending them a DV and cease from calling letter.

Some questions though. Is there a limit as to how many times they are allowed to call you per day?

What do I do when a CA refuses to give me their address, or to send me something in writing?

Call 1-877-FTC-HELP (1-877-382-4357); and give them the phone # and the Name of the comp. (OMNI) and file a complaint. The woman from the FTC said that the more complaints they get the more likely something could be done. She also said that the comp must be pretty dumb cause how can they collect any $$ if they wont tell you anything about why they are calling!

received a call from 800-670-9944 / answered the phone / asked that they identify themselves and they refused and hung up -then promptly called back. I guess that is their talking points training manual. RUDENESS / Unprofessional attitudes. But I still want to know for who they collect

Here is the contact information for OMNI. Recommend writing them a letter stating they should not call you again

Thanks for the messages posted here about this company. I have been recieving messages on my recorder at home from this company for about two months. I thought that they would stop calling after awhile. I was WRONG. I finally called and NO ONE will tell you what company they are. I asked for my phone number to be taken out of their calling system and was told NO. I went totally ballistic on this girl named Holly who was so RUDE to me. I called my phone company afterwards and they will do NOTHING. So today, I called the State Attorney General here in Ohio. I cannot file a complaint unless I know the company. I would guess this company KNOWS this, that's why they give no information about themselves. The great folks at Ohio Attorney General Marc Dann's office did give me valuable information...which led me to this website!!! Thanks for the postings here, I hope i can get this company to quit calling my house now. YOu can also file a complaint with the Federal Trace Commision...view their website at ftc.gov. Thanks.

these people are rude and must think that we are dumb to not think we will not do anything about it. i recieved threatening phone calls from them too. yes, i understand my situation but the woman i spoke with "melanie" not only treatened to sue me but also personally offended my by telling me i was young and dumb and she felt sorry for my husband for marrying me. she also spoke to my husband and was very rude to him. we are seriously considering a law suit

I am so thankful for this thread. I'm not in any credit trouble, thank the Lord, but the previous resident in the house I now own has apparently skipped out on a lot of debt. All the collection agencies have done reverse address searches and have my name and phone number. They all assume that I'm the same guy, but under an assumed name.

None have been so hateful and beligerent as Omni (800-670-9944). I just got off the phone with "Holly" at extension 266. She says she's a supervisor, probably so. My first call to Omni ended when they asked to put me on hold and hung up on me. The second ended when Holly offered to let me speak to the original collection agent who called my home, but instead she hung up on me too. The third call I was able to speak to Holly again. It helped that I had the information above, i.e., the name, address, company president's name, etc.

She swore to me that they'd taken my number out of their database, but I doubt that. I told her that the next time they called, I'd take legal action. She asked me if I was threatening her, to which I replied, no, but I gave her the name of the law that they would be breaking if they persisted in calling me... :-)

Good luck if you actually owe money to these sharks. It was bad enough for me, and I don't owe them a dime.

I've gotten the nasty calls as well from 800-670-9944. They did send me a letter and pre-printed envelop. They are representing Macy's and want the money in full. I've written and told them I'm willing to make monthly payments and cannot pay account in full. If I could, we wouldn't be talking. They've threaten to take me to court and told me how I will have to pay court costs. I told them at least I will get payment arrangements. Anyone have any suggestions? :roll:

I don't know who this is, but I am receiving the same messages. For the past 2 weeks, the person's name is Daisy. Today it was Sandy. When I call the number back I get a recording that says, "We're sorry, your call cannot be completed as dialed. Please check your number and call again." I have NO clue what to do about this. It's becoming a daily annoyance. If anyone knows how to stop this or figure out who it is, please let me know.

I got a call on my cell from 800-670-9944 but didn't pick it up after seeing it was an 800 number I didn't recognize. I tried calling back and the woman said it was an organization called OSM, so I asked her why she called...she tried to get my number to forward the call on and I said nevermind. Not sure how they got my cell number as it is new and I don't give it out to anyone! Strange...

I had a delinquent credit card since about last year. I never answered the number because I knew thats what they were calling in reguards to. Finally I had help paying it off and called the number back. The operator that answered just seemed like she had been there all day and night and was ready to leave but she didn't have an attitude I just gave her the extencion. Mr. Swiger answered the phone. I spoke to him kindly and he responded kindly. Gave him all of the receipt info. and we went from there. The woman who had been leaving me messages who was "his assistant" would always leave halfway messages on my machine as well and let him know I never got a full voicemail so never knew what was really going on. She did seem snotty on the messages but that's her and I didn't take it personal. Don't bash them for doing their jobs...if you have a debt then they obviously aren't calling you to ruin your lives, it's because they are trying to get money you owe. I took responsibility for my actions and knew I was the one to blame but it feels great to have it off my back!!! Good luck to everyone else!!! :D

:roll:

These guys called me after 9pm and refused to ID themseleves when I called back. So I got online and found this posting. Thanks for the info! Someone has fradulently opened a Macy's account in my name and I told the company this in writing. When I told the rep I was reporting them to the FTC and attorney general they immediately gave me a supervisor who was the nicest guy in the world, big suprise! These guys must have lots of complaints. Keep reporting these folks!

Hi. I am so glad I found you guys. These people are calling me for Macys which is understandable because I defaulted on the payments because of cash flow issues. They are trying to force me to pay monthly payments than I can afford. What can be done. I am only able to pay them $250 but they want $500. I told them if I could do that I wouldn't be talking to them I would still be talking to Macys. Is it against the law to continue sending payments to Macys directly?

Are some people on here not reading carefully enough to see that most of the people they are calling and harrassing DONT owe them money???!!!

Are some people on here not reading carefully enough to see that most of the people they are calling and harrassing DONT owe them money???!!!

This info is valuable. I actually filed Bankruptcy and it was already adjudicated with a final Discharge order. Does anyone know if a collection agent can call you AFTER the bankruptcy is over? I know they can't call while it is still pending.

If your bankruptcy case resulted in a discharge, then all creditors with notice of the bankruptcy are discharged and collection on their claim is barred. A frequent problem is that creditors sell their uncollectible debt to other companies, without sending the information that the debt is discharged in bankruptcy.

Generally, if you provide the collector with a copy of your discharge and a copy of the schedule listing the original creditor, they will cease collection. If they don't, they leave themselves open to an action " lawsuit " by you for damages and attorneys fees.

Thank you, mobile. I will use this info to try and get them to go away.

No problem. Take care and keep in touch to let us know how that worked out.

Been a while since any activity on this thread, but I'll share my two cents anyway - I got a call from an "unknown" number. Since my son's school often shows up as "unknown," I answered, and a recording began playing even before I had the phone up to my ear. The woman IDd herself as "Sandy" and said "I've been trying to reach you for *quite* some time," sounding very frustrated and frazzled. Gave the 1-800 number and said, "extension one-one-f[CLICK]."

So it's not an actual human who's not paying attention to the niceties of leaving voicemail; they have an auto-message thing that starts as soon as you pick up the phone, cuts itself off before the message is complete. Not very effective at all.

Adding to my confusion are the facts that (1) I have no outstanding debts that I am aware of, (2) this is definitely the FIRST time "Sandy" has ever tried to contact me, despite her statement of trying for "quite some time," and (3) I see that Macy's is the creditor that most commentors have mentioned; there's not even a Macy's in my town, or for about 500 miles as far as I know!

I am an employee in the collection industry and all these postings are rather "amusing". First, for those of you that owe the "Valid Debt", calling you everyday is legal behavior according to the fdcpa (most of you debtors know what FDCPA stands for) and you need to pay your debts and quit calling the phone calls "HARASSMENT". It's amazing how you can take the time to complain, but you can't find the time to get the money together to pay the "Valid Debt" back. Where are you finding the money to pay for your internet?????

Secondly, if you have filed Bankruptcy, the original creditor does not always supply the collection agency with the necessary paperwork, which will result in an attempt to collect a debt, either by a phone call or letter. As soon as the debt is placed with the collection agency, they will send a validation letter to the mailing address that the original creditor has provided the agency with. Therefore, it is your responsibility to update your creditor at all times of any address changes. Once the debt is placed with the agency, they are attempting to collect a "Valid Debt" until you provide the proper documentation. Upon receipt of the documentation, all communications will be ceased.

Lastly, for those of you that don't owe the agency any money on any "Valid Debt", why are you getting so upset about a phone call or two? Again, the agency has the right to call everyday. Until it is communicated to the agency that the they are calling the wrong number, the calls will continue. "We are not mind readers". Simply call the agency and let them know the phone number they are calling and they will remove your number, so you will not receive anymore phone calls. Don't call them back and yell at the representatives and refuse to give them the phone number they are calling you at or leaving messages on or try to block your phone number, otherwise they cannot remove your phone number from their system. Simply, give them the phone number. The person that owes the "Valid Debt" may have had your phone number at one time or they may know you or have known you and gave your phone number to the original creditor as a contact number to reach them at. Why get so upset about your phone number being called? If you know the "debtor" why get upset at the agency for calling, you should be upset with the "debtor" for giving out your phone number!!!! Would you get this upset if someone delivered a pizza to your house and it was the wrong house?????? It's funny how consumers have given collection agencies a bad rap, when in fact consumers are the ones with bad behaviors. If you owe money and your debt is turned over to a collection agency, expect the agency to demand the money be paid back. They are not Customer Service, if you want that type of service, then pay your bills on time and stay out of collections (regardless of the reason).

"YOU BORROWED THE MONEY, NOW PAY IT BACK, YOU CAN ONLY RUN AND HIDE FOR SO LONG"

a long winded bunch of hooey sandy.your part about the phone calls even if you don't owe is priceless.i hope your bottomfeeder CA is sued out of existence.

I agree the fact that you are collecting for credit card companies ..the biggest shysters in American history in my opinion is why you will not make your comission sandy..if people could pony up and pay you would have never gotten involved in the process dumbo

I got a phone call from this letter and someone did this weird clearing their throat thing and just hung up and I heard about this cough and hang-up thing before, what the dickens is that about? What do they even get ou tof this. It is harrassment, I noticed they call everyday when I am not here to answer, I dont have an answering machine actually so let them ring it until their blue, what wankers. Its really unsettling that they do this! Sorry for everyone here who has the same grief from this

Wow, I am seeing so many FDCPA violations here. I would contact an FDCPA attorney (I can't post links but legalhelpers has been great).

They started calling me on the day I was laid off and yell at me this Ms. Norton. I told her to give me time to get my head together and I'd make the payment and she told me to get a lawyer she had to have the payment now. Then she called my ex husband and told him I used him as a refreance "as if" so I called Fashion bug the company I owed and made a payment Omni called back a a week later they called the ex husband but not me at all. So I called back spoke with Don and he was nice said he saw I made a payment and took the ex husbands number off the account and not 2 hours later Ms. Norton called back and yelled at me told me I was not allowed to tak with any one else on this account because she was the account manager and again told me to get a lawyer because I would make another payment again. So I called the FTC and non the Oklahoma Att. Gen

good for you, i encourage anyone who is being harrassed to report them it will never stop unless people start taking action.

Sandy, you said this:

In a perfect world, we'd all love to be able to pay all of our bills on time and in full.. but in the real world, life happens. Jobs get lost, people get sick and cicumstances change. My family of 5 has had an income decrease of almost 2/3.

Just paying our living expenses is tight- forget about the credit cards! We have even lost the house we worked so hard to get. I'm sorry "sandy" but you're wrong. And if you, in the credit/collections industry would get a clue about how hard it is out there right now and start helping people, you may start to see money being repaid. But when you're rude, inconsiderate and unwilling to help, it doesn't make the consumer all that interested in paying the money back- our credit is already trashed, so I don't really have anymore to loose by not paying you- you going to sue? Ok... then we'll file BK and you won't get anything.. Your choice.

I too have been getting calls from this number - they really do start talking before the answering machine is done announcing. It turns out they are looking for my daughter. I know she has a lot of outstanding debt, she's been trying to pay them all off. The kicker is - she doesn't live here - she hasn't for over 2 years. I tried to tell them that and told them if they told me what they wanted I would let my daughter know. The woman was VERY VERY rude, and wouldn't even giveme the name of the company she's working for. As a result, I will not forward any messages to my daughter and I will send them a C & D notification. I am not responsible for my daughters debts and do not want to field calls from collection agencies.

If they don't bother to call properly it is sometimes better NOT to call them back. Any successful communication can be interpreted as a revival of a debt. If the statue of limitations has expired on a debt it is sometimes better to wait for something in writing. At that point you can demand verification of the debt in writing. Most companies who have bought expired debt will back off at that point. Also. check your credit reports often. Some of these firms will falsify the date of last activity on your previous accounts to collect illegally after the statue of limitations has expired. Legitimate debt collectors have no need to be rude--like torture, rudeness tends to be counterproductive.

the part about rvival of debt is wrong i'm afaraid.in some states even a payment won' re-start the SOL clock.i don't like bottomfeeders at all,but some legit collectors will work with the consumer for the creditors and the consumers benefit.i do agree about the get it in writing.all legit collectors will send a dunning letter.

This is the Address I have for them it is a little different than what is posted:

They buy your old uncolectable debts for $1. Don`t pay them a dime or the 7 years statute starts all over again. These scum are bottom feeders. Ignore them an don`t call them back. The post in blue, are these scum.

Do they seriously only buy them for a dollar?!

The good news is, they violated a ton of laws. From now on, have a recorder, and when you find out who they are, let them know (certified receipt) that they are in violation of a bunch of laws, (but site the laws) and each time they call, if you answer, let them know they are being recorded... You may turn this around, and they can owe you $1000 per violation.. Bastards..

odd how you've had such a wonderful experienece when everyone else hasn't - even those who don't have any debt owed or wanted to discuss payment. Perphas you work for the company? Mhhm.

These people are rude. I am not who they are trying to reach and they are calling at least five times a day. I told them that I am not who they are looking for and they still won't remove me from the list. They wouldn't identify themselves and were all around rude. I filed a complaint with the FTC and then blocked the 800 number, but they started to call from an unavailable number. I don't know what else to do.

Suddenly I am receiving calls from 1 800 670 9944. The first message was from Sandy who said she has been trying to reach me for quite some time. She left her extension as 111, when I returned the call the answering system advised there was no such extension or anyone named Sandy. I have several late payments on credit accounts, however to the best of my knowledge none have been turned over to collection. How do you communicate with these people & what reputable firms are using them?

I had been getting calls like this for almost 6 years now. They keep asking for a Lisa L. and mentioning something about collecting on a past debt. They've not been rude on the messages they've left (although they seem to start leaving a message before my answering message is finished playing). I've called back numerous times saying that there is no Lisa L. at this number and hasn't been since I've had this phone number (which is now almost 6 years). I've also asked that they remove my number from their list. They say they will. Then the calls stopped for awhile. Then within the last week, I've gotten 3 more calls like this asking for Lisa L. I just called them back, repeated that I am not Lisa L., that Lisa L. hasn't had this number for years, that they need to remove my number from their list, and that if I get one more call like this, I will report them. The person I left this message with is named Anna at extension 229, and I did get her voicemail box when I called and left this message. Does anyone know who I can take this up with to stop these annoying phone calls that aren't for me?

I am having problems with these people for the last year or so. They seem to be trying to collect on Macy's accounts I've had paid off since 2005 or 2006. I've provided proof to the credit bureau's (bank statements, letters of accounts closing). For some reason these accounts are still showing up on my credit report as unpaid and open when I've clearly paid them off, so this stupid OMNI company continues to call.

I've gotten the call from the woman who uses the recorded message to leave a voice mail (Sandy... yadda yadda). Now some fella named John is calling and I can't get them to stop. Pretty annoying.

They call and hang up all the time without giving me a clue. The person they are trying to reach is in jail but they won't give me a chance to tell them that. I reported them to the FTC. They have terrible business practices. The more people the better chance we have of them getting a hefty fine. They have to say who they are when they call. Hanging up is not an option. Report them I do it on the internet. It is easy.

As of 10/07/2010, it belongs to Omni Credit Services. Don't know if it's the one in Tampa FL. My "agent" called the number, spoke to Isabel at ext. 247. She claimed it would take 48 hours to remove my number from their autodialers. (Hogwash -- it takes the same amount of time as deleting a line from your email.) She claimed that someone named Cindy put down my phone number on a credit application, and they have been trying to reach her. That may be hogwash, too.

If you receive a call from a creditor, they are obiligated to annouce who the call is being left for as well as their name, the company's name a case file and an extention number. At know time are they allowed to harras you at your work,and when you request them to not call your work they must cease immediately.
A real collection agency will never verbally abuse or deny sending you written information.
