The toll-free number for northstar is 888-820-0963. I received a call looking for another guy with my same last and first name but they refused to tell me what they did. How can I file a real complaint with this about this company to someone who can do something?

Welcome to the forums!
If you are not the person they are trying to reach, then tell them to not call you again. When they call you again, ask them who they are. Don't divulge any information if they don't reveal their identity. The reason is, they may be scammers trying to collect information about you. I think you got a call from collection agency. According to the FDCPA Act, the collection agencies can contact a third party once when they are unable to communicate with the debtor. Explain clearly that you are not the person with whom they are trying to communicate with. If they still contact you, then take legal action against them.

They may only contact a third party in order to locate the debtor. Under no other circumstances should they try contacting a third party, they don't even have the right to share any debt-related information with the third party. Initially, you may ask them to take your name off their calling-list as well as their mailing-list.

To the OP....you cannot file a complaint. The CA did nothing wrong. If they call back again, then maybe you will have a violationl.
Nelly...again....you cannot TELL a CA verbally not to call. Per the FDCPA it has to be done in writing.

A piece of advice. Anyone calls trying to locate someone just tell them they've passed away. NEVER give out a number!
