They left a message on my cell phone's voice mail.  As I understand it, this is illegal; no one is allowed to call you on your cell phone UNLESS you SPECIFICALLY authorize them to do so.

LEFT ME A MESSAGE ON MY WORK PHONE TO CALL THIS NUMBER

Called me today ... no message

Called me today said, "Calling regarding an important business matter." is this a collections agency?  The caller ID said HCA.

called to my work and left a message saying that I knew who they were and what the call was in regards to.  Left the name Ms Perkins.

This is a patients account bureau (Collection Agency).

called did not leave message

called and did not leave a message..not sure who it is.

A call like this is so simple to resolve.  The caller needs to simply leave a message regarding the subject and company.  Why scare the cr-- out of people?  Identify yourself.  That is all we are asking.

Well when a collection agency calls u its against the law to display or leave a msg concerning a debt.  And u authorize people to call ur cell phone when u place it as a contact number.

this person called me at work when I already had told her to not to do it. The check bounced (no reason because money was there), so I told her that my husband was at the bank at the moment to try to figure it out what happened, she trethened me to call the police. I told her to do what she has to do.... What are they, idiots, what part of I am at work and there is nothing I can do at the moment they cannot understand.

Responding to RO who was threatened.

You have legal rights and are protected by the Fair Debt Collection Practice Act.  Also known as the FDCPA...  Please visit http://fair-debt-collection.com/ to obtain more information about what a creditor/collector can  or can not do legally.

Sounds like this collection company is going beyond their legal limits to by harrassing and threatening you. You can make a formal complaint and/or bring legal action against them. You will find all the information you need in the above referenced website. GOOD LUCK to you and to all of you being harrassed by illegal collectors!

caller Id had 800 number - 800-849-?  was told to call back (678)969-7840- Megan Burkes

Call (678)969-7840 but the caller ID showed an 800 number 1-800-849-????

Caller ID listed as [***] H. Number belongs to a collection Agency "Cobb Hollis" in Marietta,Ga.

As per a comment above, this phone # 678 969 7840 also shows up on my caller ID as "A*S H."  Probably a bill collector. which for me, would be one of many medical bills I have as I am legally disabled.  But I do think it's rather funny that "they" are willing to admit that when the calls are being made to us, it is probably from an "A*S HOLE."  But when I have called back, I've never rec'd an answer, nor has a message been left on my home # and I can't remember if I have ever rec'd this call on my has his own pay as you go cell phone so he can register the cell to "[***] H" and is using the list of names that people may have bills & this is just "their" twisted way or prank to get some kind of  cell #. Do you think this could be a person that may work for a collection agency, but yet has this cynical but adolescent kicks using his work list to let "us" know that we are going to get a real bill collection agency from this "A*S Hole Company" that he works for.

I called them back and told them that one, leaving messages on my answering machine that they are attempting to collect a debt is illegal, and two, any further correspondence needs to be in writing, not by phone.  "Well you have to put that request in writing to us" at which point I got irate and told them they needed to put something in writing to me first since I don't know them from Adam and am not going to turn over money to someone I don't know.  Personally, if it is a legitmate bill, I will pay the original biller, not a debt collector.

It is not illegal to leave a message stating that you are calling about a debt.  Federal law and the Foti Act states that you must disclose you are calling about a debt.
Furthermore, unless the collector is told it is a cell phone, and not to call, then you can still call the number.

Got the some caller ID message from this number.. Also, they call at bizarre hours, like 7 am.  This is a medical collection agency based in Norcross.  I get about 7-8 calls a day from them with no message. They seem to be more into harrassing and intimidating than anything else.  The insulting name they put in their caller ID shows a lack of professionalism on their part.
