is this number familiar?

okay, the phone number that got this thread started by me, has stopped calling! great right!!?? but now I'm getting one that is 'unavailable'. It shows unavailable on the caller ID---but I have an answering service that tells you the number that they called from and it was 000-0020. and the guy just said 'hello'? and hung up. I know this is probably not a traceable number---just a hidden number for some CA. I'm not going to worry too much about it since they're hiding behind 'unavailable, and didn't show the respect of saying who they were or what they were calling for. shirley

David,

Thanks. But I work at a university with multiple locations and buildings and its own telephone services department, so I can't call up the phone company and ask that it be blocked. But I have notified telephone services so we'll see.

I have continued to get these calls, and just now tried once again to talk to them and explain they will NEVER get that person at this number and again requested it be taken off their record. And again, they hung up on me mid-sentence. Classy.

I was the "guest" that posted above.. and, that same day I sent an email to the Pinto brothers pretty much quoting the law and telling them to cease and desist. Haven't gotten a single call since...

FYI.

I need help with this number---
323-817-3575

thanks! i tried calling it back but its busy, they didn't leave a message--just hung up. shirley

It is a Neilson public opinion company.. you know the tv ratings company, only the number is for movie opinion/viewing research.. at least that is what the answering machine said.

Oh thank you hun, you are such a sweetie for checking that for me. (((hugs))) I called the number back a couple of times and got a busy signal. glad its not someone else trying to harrass me. I think I have them all almost stopped! thank you again! shirley

okay---I have a private number and this number has showed up twice over the past few days...It shows 'unknown' on my caller ID and it leaves an automated message from a 'mrs. carter'
number-----1.800.569.9633
thanks!!! shirley

Shirley, Its NCO Financial Systems.. at least thats what the automated attendant voice said.

okay--This shouldn't be for me, its got to be the wrong number---which I had trouble with a while back, someone calling here looking for someone that I said doesn't live here. And it got pretty nasty. This person has went all over the place passing this number out as being theirs. Direct Tv amoung others. Anyways, I guess I will have to answer and find out who they're looking for---if its not us, I'll tell them they have the wrong number, if it is us, then I'll send them a cease letter for calling my private number. Its not listed so it almost has to be the wrong number. anyways, I'll come back and ask for the address if they continue to call. thanks again JJ!!! hugs, shirley

Shirley, even if it is not for you, send them a C&D letter stating the facts.. just in case they don't listen to you

I get phone calls everyday from this number (sometimes numerous times a day). I call back and get a busy signal. STOP THE INSANITY!

:D Usually get these phone calls after busines hours supposedly some attorneys. Never ask for a person by name and id automated.

I believe this is the name of these people. I am getting calls because of the person that had the number before me. I have been trying for over a year now to get them to stop calling. I have asked two different reps to stop them and have explained that the person they are looking for is no longer at this number (they can check my number and easily see that it is the wrong address/name) and yet they still call. I have verbally asked to be taken off their list and yet they still keep calling even on the weekends. Can someone tell me how to turn them into the FCC or whatever agency would apply?
Val

I get calls 2x a day for the last month. I actuall picked up and pushed 1 to talk to someone. I asked to not be called anymore and the woman yelled at me! What kind of business practice is that? What kind of customer service is that? She had no right to be rude. Theyre the ones calling me constantly. You would think they would get the point if I didnt pick up at any hour for the last 30 times they called.

Val and guest, make your approach legal while dealing with these calls. Both of you must send a cease and desist letter to the company's mailing address. After receiving your letter, it is legally necessary for the company to stop calling you. Otherwise, they will be violating the federal laws. Verbal communications can't be proven if they have violated any of your requests. Send your legal request in writing so that your bases are covered. Make sure that this letter is sent through certified mail with return receipt requested. This will ensure not only its delivery to the company but will also give you a proof of your actions taken to resolve the matter.

I've been getting calls from this number too. But that's because I owe them money. I believe it's a law firm that obtains credit card debts and tries to settle them. Here's the information I've got:

Hope this helps.

I am also getting calls from this number. I got a live person on the phone today and he told me it was none of my business why he was calling and hung up on me. If I had an address I would complain.

I'm getting the same calls too. I've tried answering when they call but it's always a recording telling me to call them back. If I try to call them back it's always a busy signal.

I am so glad I found this! We have been getting calls from this number for months and they never leave messages. I just hear them say Hello, Hello and then they hang up ( I know it's them because of caller ID) Tonight we got the infamous "This is not a soliciation call, call our office regarding a personal business matter... BLAH BLAH BLAH!" I know for a fact that we do not owe anyone anything.

They said that we were a reference number for some name. It seems like they just look up everyone with the last name of the person they want and then call every one of them until they hit the right one. Isn't this illegal?

These numbers are harassing. They keep calling my husbands cell phone(using our minutes) looking for someone(with an asian sounding name). He called back and they lady was so very rude, she hung up on him twice. All he did was ask first ask for her name and the company name and then she hung up. I work in a public service job and would NEVER hand up on someone. So I called today the lady I spoke was pleasant and said they would remove the number from their database.
The name of the company is Oxford <-- way too general of name. If I find out anything else I will post it.

Hope this helps.

"John" or "Mr. Montgomery"
It is not may debt. I've gone through the rigamarole with them once and it's someone else who gave them our number.
They ask my name and phone number, which I refuse to give since they called me.
I ask for a supervisor and the horribly rude man - immediately hostile and rude, and I believe the same man for both calls - told me "This call is being terminated."

Incredibly bad system - they call me, then expect me to give information.

I called this number for you and asked them who they were,they said Ixford Management Services. Hope this helps. Karen

A very annoying machine calles me saying they are an attorney office, caller id is 866-822-6756 . The machine gives endless voicemail options to talk to a person who is never there. I finally pushed through and left a message that I don't owe...take me off the list...etc., so what happens? They upped the calls from 3 times a week to daily. I just put a block on it and I'll see how it goes. $36 a year to block them.

Try register your phone number at this website dmaconsumers.org/cgi/offtelephone#howto
It's the National Do Not Call List.

I keep receiving phone calls from this number 1-866-285-5003. This number always leaves a different number (1-800-718-3583 Ext.3410). They don't say who they are and they don't give me any reason why they are calling. I feel if they are going to call, they could at least say why they are calling. That way I would know what information I need to have when I call.

this number keeps calling my cell, atleast everyday, sometimes severaal times a day. It sounds like a message line "I've reached the law offices of gatsworth and ... please leave a message. Ironically you can't leave a message and if you try and call that number it's always busy. Does any one know how to stop this?

I got an actual phone number to call from Oxford management group that put me through to a real person, amazing. the number is 866-822-6749. I have an old cell number for someone who has debt. He said he would take my number off, hopefully this works. their mailing address is:

Gatswirth & Mirsky

Hope this can help someone else!

I have been having the same problem, everytime I answer the call it says "transfering to voicemail" and the call goes dead. But I tried the number BSL provided and got right through. They were looking for someone else (I've had this number for 2 years) and said they'd take me off the list. Thanks for the help!

The phone system in our office is unable to block numbers, but with the help of our I.S. Administrator I was finally able to track down an address that seems to be correct. At least I haven't received a call in 2 months since sending an e-mail to them asking if they were the correct company and explaining the situation. The info I have is:

Oxford Management Services
135 Maxess Rd., Ste. 2A
Melville, NY 11747

The suggestion to ask for a supervisor is unrealistic in my experience. Even if one can get through to talk to a live person, that rep is harrassing, refuses to listen, and will hang up rather than give any identifying information on the company or transfer to another person.

I am getting calls 2-3 times a day from the 866-822-6756 number and they never leave a message. Shortly after that I get call marked private, which I don't answer either. If some wants to get in cntact w/me they will leave amessage. I probably do owe on an account and they have picked it up. However, they should still leave a message.

Don't ignore the calls, pick it up and talk to them. Move legally; ask for validation and so on. If possible try to deal with the original creditor also.

Another forum member Shirley has been dealing with them. You can see the thread to hear from her-

http://www.debtconsolidationcare.com/forums/debt-amount.html

anybody have the info for this number? thanks.

i googled this number because it's been calling me two or three times a day on my cell phone and wanted to find out what was going on, that's what led me here!

i see lots of people have been getting this aggravating call as well.

i've never actually stayed on the line (and judging from the other folks here, i dont think i want to), all i heard was something about "solicited", then there was a bit of silence afterwards. when i actually take the call, this is where i hang up, because first off, i'm a college student, i dont have any money to spend, period, two, i dont pay my cell phone bills, my mother does, as i dont use it often, and three, i have very little patience for computerized messages.

i'm hoping my cell phone provider can do something about this because i get calls on my cell phone multiple times a day, to the point where my roommate and i start laughing because i tell them it's the same damn solicitor. i get more calls from them than i do from my family!

This number 866-822-6756 and also be aware of the corresponding number 866-822-6749. Is a scam posing as a law office and collecting debit. The are in fact dumpster divers calling on old medical records. There is no validity to the harassment.

Does anyone know who the phone number 866-822-6756 belongs to, my son gets called daily from it on his cell phone. any info is appreciated

annoyed Guest,

Calls to your cell phone are illegal because you are having to pay for them (illegall under the fdcpa). Tell them so, and record them. Your cell phone bill is a record of this as well. Take them to court. It means $1000 per violation to you (plus expenses).

Go through this entire thread to know what others are saying about this numbers. Contact your telecom service provider to know if they can block the number.

they keep calling my teenage daughters phone too!! dont worry by the time i get thru with them they wont exist anymore!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here is the website for the company that is generating complaints with calls coming from 866-822-6756 that harrass individuals. An voice system identified the caller as Oxford Management and gave this phone number. It does ring thru... 866-419-2681 is an answerable number. You will get a live person. These people are rude. I don't owe any bills that are in collection. We get calls from them two three times a day. I suspect that the calls are related to a cell phone bill that is unpaid by a relative. This company seems to have obtained the cell phone record and is systematically calling all numbers either called or received by this phone. These calls are harassment. The issue of selling or obtaining cell phone records is currently being studied by the Federal Gov't and several state agencies. I intend to contact our State Attorney General on the issue.

Really angry, you're right, they are rude. I have joined a debt consolidation group and they are paying the debts that oxford is collecting for, (Dell financial accounts) instead of them being happy that they're getting money, they're harrassing me even more. I am past the point of being pissed and am in the process of doing something about it. There is a website on the internet, Bud Hibbs, he lists the worst collection agencies to deal with. Imagine my surprise when I found that their name IS NOT on his list!!!!!!!! shirley

They have left a hundred messsages at my home as well. I finally was able to get back to them and they tell me they are looking for Antonio Faba? God knows who he is! These maniacs call at all hours by the way.

They call me every day even late in the evening or very early am. It is an authomatic caller and i can not get rid of them. 1-8666 8226756. Does any one know their address. Maybe a class action suit can help

It's Oxford Management Services and a computer generated call tells you to call 800-722-0248 for information. I registered both numbers with the Do Not Call registry.

a call on my cell phone from this number:1-866-822-6756. I tried calling back (thinking that it was a very important call) but it's always busy. The woman named KIM left me a message but didn't tell me what the call was for and what company she represented.

I finally talked to someone who said the company is "Oxford Management Services." Their address is 135 Maxess Road, Melville, New York 11747
They are a collections agency and when I told him I was not the person they are looking for, he said he would make note of it. I have told them the same thing several times but to no avail. I called the number 866-716-9863 and talked to a person, AGAIN, but I still get the calls. Good luck!
