These people called my home WHILE I WAS NOT THERE and in their scripted message said something like " This message is for Bob. By continuing to stay on the line you are admitting to be Bob". They are debt collectors (Oxford Management).Is this legal? How can you admit or not admit to being someone if you are not home and the phone records a message? I hope this gets to the authorities somewhere.

when it calls i just let the voicemail get it and its the same message everytime "this message is intended for such and such person by remaining on the line u say u are that person and then it continues saying stuff about this an attempt to collect a debt. They have called me at work at least 3 times a week which im not sure where they got the number from and harrass me and the people i work with i have set up a payment plan so i assumed they would quit calling but they seem like they calling more now. If somebody could please make it stop

They call and said the same as above.  I am not sure how this is legal considering they are speaking to a answering machine, which is impossible to responed and hang up.  who are they?

They call my home while I am not home and the message goes like " This is a message for Bob. By staying on the line you are admitting to being Bob." I am not there. How can I admit to anything? Someone has to know if this is legal and where to report these people. Any help out there?

Same as all of the above posters state. How can this be legal? And which one of you is not going to listen to the message even if you are not the person mentioned???

I filed for bankrupcy within the last month and this is the only collection call I still get.  Havn't been home to answer it yet,but they will get an earfull when I do.

Calls constantly

These people represent a  third party collection agency located in Fort Pierce, Florida. If you are behind in your payments of any kind, then your creditors will send you to these "people". I use the word "people" loosely here.  Of course, with the economy the way it is, and I am unemployed for over a year...my creditors SallieMae sent my account to these "people"...I do not know the name of their company, but I assure you that they are shady.  For two days, I spoken with a Mr. Lopez about my account, but I wasn't getting anywhere with him, so I told him I wanted to speak with his supervisor.  He was threatening me with lends and criminal charges, and was going to contact the IRS on me for fraud, etc.  Even when he put me on hold, Lopez would pop up from time to time on the phone and threaten me some more.  I just kept asking for a supervisor.  Once the supervisor, Kevin Williams, was on the phone he want to verify some of my contact info, I was pleading my case that when a crazed lady, Ms. Chloe (not the psychic, circa 1990s) got on the phone and cursed me.  She called me a bum and a lier, that I got the eduaction and making money and I am holding out from not paying and maybe other things also, I couldn't understand her crazy ranting.  Anyway, these people are boorish and belligerent, and don't want to understand your financial hardships.  I am appaul with their unprofessionalism, and I need to report these people.  I tried taking with Sallie mae, and they want nothing to do with it.  So everything is in lobo. So I hope this halps in telling you want type of people you are dealing with on the other end of the phone.

Dell hired these people to harass me.  They are currently taking money out of my bank account every month, but claimed today that my payment was bounced back..whatever that means!!  Well, I wanted to know just where it bounced back to, because it sure as heck wasn't back into my bank account!  After talking with 3 different people (being on hold between them of course) it was found to be a mistake, they "read the account wrong".  They were pretty ignorant up until that point then when they realized they screwed up they couldn't get off the phone with me quickly enough!!  I will clean toilets or do anything else before I will ever be one of "those" people!

Got a call last week from 772-882-3200 noted as "FL, USA" on my phone. I answered the phone "Hello" and a man said, "Mrs. Ryder?" That is *not* my name, and I said, "No, I'm sorry, you must have the wrong number. What number are you calling?" And the man said, "Well, Mrs. Ryder, this phone is *officially* listed as belonging to Mrs. Ryder." (I've had the number for over 6 years, "officially" registered through AT&T.) I said, "Well, I''m sorry, it doesn't. Who is this?" And he said, "If you're *not* Mrs. Ryder, then *who* are you?" I said, "I don't identify myself on the phone to strangers. I'm *not* the person you're looking for and you are mistaken. Don't call this number again."

Since then, I've gotten a call at least every day from a blocked phone number - some days multiple calls. Since I don't pick up blocked calls, I'm tolerating it for now, but my guess is that it's still Oxford, if that's who the first call was from, and they simply aren't accepting that whatever crappy, inaccurate info they were originally given is wrong.

Seriously - do these idiots think they're going to *talk* me into *being* Mrs. Ryder or something? And if I really *was* Mrs. Ryder and denying it, would I suddenly break down and "confess"?

The bull-headed stupidity of such people continues to amaze me.

Ms Martin left me a message for the wrong party asking they call her back at (877) 380-8541 x4127 which links to www.oxfmgt.com (thanks Google).  The male operator had no idea who Ms. Martin was and wouldn't transfer me to the provided extension.  He proceeds to ask me questions, hello, this number called me; I was trying to be nice and let them know they had the wrong number.  So much for trying to help the BAD Company out.  I will be adding them to my Do Not Answer list.

Everyone should look up the statute of limitations laws on debt collecting for there state. I live in nh and  the limitations for collecting on my account is before 3 years. My account is officialy passed 3 years so it is illegal to collect on because of the debt fairness act and statute of limitations.

same story as the above recipients ... same problem .... would love for it to stop, it's quite an annoyance ...

They call my cell phone repeatedly, but I've never answered (I don't answer unknown numbers), and they've never left a voicemail, so I don't really know what they want.

Is this legit or a scam?  I don't have any outstanding charges anywhere, so I don't know what debts they would be collecting.

I received a call at 7:35 am this morning on my HOME PHONE.  The caller asked for "Gwendolyn Smith".  I advised her that this was the "Smith" household but there was no named Gwendolyn at this residence or in our immediate family.  When I asked who she was she told me, if I wasnt' Gwendolyn...I shouldn't worry about it.  I admit I did get testy with this woman, who calls at 7:30 in the morning anyway.  I asked that my number be removed from her list and hung up.  Three minutes later my CELL PHONE rings with a call from the same number.  They hear my voice and immediately hang up on me.  I called  the number back and hit zero for the operator.  She gives me a song and dance on how calls are random and done by computer.  WOW that's some coincidence.  We exchange words and she hangs up on me.  That smart computer randomly called my HOME and CELL within 3 minutes of each other.  This woman did tell me they were a banking institution (lie).  I quickly came to the conclusion they were trying to collect on a debt.  Can someone tell me how they could get both HOME and CELL numbers?

They get your phone #'s through fastdataweb.com (through this program they will get all prev address that you lived at, your ss#, phone #'s and addresses for family members,,,,,,, lexis nexis,, google,, facebook, myspace, a program called BOSS, imageview,, there are many many more programs that this co can use. No I don't work for this co but but have worked in collections b4, and no I didn't treat people with disrespect as you would think a typical collection agent would! There is no such thing as an "unlisted" phone # don't waste your time or money trying to get one.

The statute of limitations puts a limit on their ability to sue you in court for the debt, it in no way restricts the time that debt collectors may attempt to collect the debt. ( which they may do as long as they hold the debt.)

Anyone that owes these people money and does not want to hear from them again should simply tell them not to contact you by phone, that you will respond only to written requests for payment or information.
( Tell them it's for "book keeping" purposes and demand "proof of debt " including a copy of the original signed or verbal contract between you and the original lender which you by law have to be furnished if you request it.) That request really makes them mad!
 Once you get a letter from them either demanding payment or providing " proof of debt" then send a cease and desist letter ( google free samples) and mail it off in the handy envelope they provided ( send it registered mail and keep a copy.). They will have to respond one more time to your cease and desist letter advising you of their planned future actions: They will either drop it, sue you, or sell your debt to someone else and the fun will start over again with some other agency.
Once you have sent them the cease and desist letter , they are violating the law if they continue to contact you and you could take legal action against them...if they continue to call simply tell them that you will take legal action that you are aware that they are in violation of legal statutes and discuss nothing further ( and send no more money to them !).

Good Luck

I got a call from this number today (Aug 9 2010) but the stupid woman had such a thick foreign accent I couldn't even understand her so I hung up.  If you're going to spam someone, at least don't use stupid foreign people who can't even pronounce English.

They keep calling my cell phone reagrding my mother who is in a nursing home.  They will not identify who they are.  They asked if I had a power of attorney for my mother and wanted a copy and also wanted to confirm her SS# without ever IDing themselves or disclosing what the call is about.
