Despite repeated notifications to MRS Assocs that the person they are trying to reach is unknown to us, they keep calling. Each time they promise the calls will stop, but within 2 weeks they begin again. We've had our number for 6+ years; obviously the person who had it before was a deadbeat, but MRS should stop calling when told to do so.


I wouldnt mess around any longer with them--I would simply file suit against them for violating the FDCPA. if you live in a one-party state, record the call next time they call, and get it on tape that you have been telling them for _____ number of weeks/months/years now and you are fed up with the constant promises to remove your number, only to get called again. The FDCPA does not require you to be the party they are looking for in order for a violation to be actionable. So, take them to court and let them pay you for their ridiculous harassment practices.

The guest is 100% correct. You do not have to be the person holding the alleged debt to be the victim of FDCPA violations. You also do not need recorded calls to win a case. These CAs know that one in one thousand will actually follow through with a suit and they consider paying a settlement part of the cost of doing business. The most difficult part is in the service of the papers by an attorney. Because they are not licensed in the jurisdiction and their actual location is not known they are difficult to serve. This happened to me with a CA that had no agent in my state. My attorney could only find an office in Minnesota so service was not feasable! They stopped annoying me but I was not able to follow through with my lawsuit.
