I'm being harrassed by a debt collector and I don't even owe them! Here's what I wrote on Pissed Consumer and Ripoff Report:
I have been called on my cell phone numerous times by this company over the past 3-4 weeks. They are calling for a "Marcos/Marcus" who lives/lived on South Higuera Street in San Luis Obispo.
I do not know this person, nor do I have any relationship with this person. When I ask the company why they are calling, they simply say it's a "personal matter," and ask me if I am his wife. I have asked them why they are calling and what is the nature of their call, but the person gives no further information.
I have asked this company to stop calling this number and to remove my number from their list. It is very clear to me that they are simply calling his old number and that I have been given it since many old cell numbers are recycled. I have only had my number since October 2007.
The number they are calling from is 410-202-0027 and possibly 866-471-9387.
I have definitely been called the following times by someone who said her name was "Rita" from "RPM":
8:28 am, Jul 1, 08
7:37 pm, Jul 8, 08
7:17 pm, Jul 9, 08
There have been messages left for a "Marcos/Marcus" to call back an 866 number with the same following digits as the 410 number. Unfortunately I erased those messages.
I would like these calls to stop. I am tired of being harassed by the employees of this company who cannot take "do not call" for an answer.
Here's a link to that complaint:
At this point, as a consumer, all I can do is report my complaints in as many ways as possible because it is obvious this company doesn't take "no" for an anwer and hires completely impolite employees who seem to be trained in evasiveness and nastiness.
Just for the record: I AM NOT MARCUS/MARCOS, NOT AM I RELATED, MARRIED OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED TO THIS PERSON. PLEASE DO NOT CALL MY NUMBER ANYMORE!
Have you searched the ripoff report for similar debt collection calls? I'm not sure you can search like google with random words and not a company, but it would be worth it to see if others have had a similar experience but with a different number or company. Something similar has been happening to my son who keeps getting bizarre calls and texts and they don't stop. We contacted our carrier and blocked a few of them, but I haven't done it since. See if you can get your cell carrier to help. And, I HAVE heard of "debt collections" calls that are scams, probably at ripoff report, and since most people don't remember what they purchased years ago, they often just give their credit card number or other identifying information and get taken. I'd do a bit more research, then I'd contact my carrier to see if they can help me.
ReplyDeleteOh, I've done research on this company and posted on Ripoff Report. I have no reason for debt collectors to be calling me. I will be sending a letter to the company with my complaint and request to be removed from their calling list.
