please help stop these calls

Most of the time a simple statement about the FDCPA and how they are violating your rights and must cease immediately is enough. You may wish to send them a cease and desist letter if they do not stop though.

On another note, if you were to buy a voice recorder and you were to record a conversation where they identify themselves as a debt collector along with information on what they are collecting, you son could receive up to $1,000 per violation recorded.....nice way to cash in on scum bags.

another tactic they use is "if this is not --- please hang up if this is ---this is blah blah blah" it gives you no time to hang up so they assume you are who they are trying to get a hold of. What's with that is that illegal?

my family had a similar incident lately and they sent a cease and desist letter ceritified mail and the calls did stop.

These people at Progressive Management Systems keep calling me on my Business Cell #. They did some extensive public record checking to find someone with my name was formerly related by marrigae to some dead beat they are looking for. I have asked them to stop calling, but keep getting the calls. They should have checked the records to see that there was a DIVORCE 30 years ago!

Communication by certified mail to require them to cease and desist will stop the calls! As a guest said prior the FDCPA requires those calls to stop! If they do not, a suit is an easy winner as the collector considers losing once in a while as part of the cost of doing business! I personally sued several collectors and won without having to record any conversations! They just will not fight, It costs too much! Get a lawyer and kick butt!
