800-622-0484

This number has been showinng up on my cellphone several times within the past week, and no message is left on the voicemail.  When I return called this number, it is answered as "Chase Receivables."  When I asked the female operator what this business was, she said that it is a collection company from Chase Bank, which I've never had any dealings with.  As I was calling from an unavailable number, she asked if I wanted to give my number to have it removed, I declined, until I find out more information about the validity of this number and company.

rec'd 24 calls from this number and I have no idea who or what they want - I wish they would stop calling!

This company kept calling my twelve year old daughter's cell phone and bouncing to our home number.  They finally called when I was at the house and I can confirm that this is a collection agency.  In our case, someone fraudulently gave my daughter's cell number as their own.  When I first answered they asked to speak to someone I'd never heard of.  When I asked them why they were calling the cell phone of a 12 year old child they apologized and hung up.  They have not tried to contact her since.

I have been receiving calls from this phone number for over 1 1/2 years.  The only message that gets left is that this is a very important call for Jason Walker.  Can I get this caller blocked?

I have been receiving calls from this phone number forever it seems.  The only message that gets left is that this is a very important call.  No explanation of what the problem is or what the call is about. Can I get this caller blocked?

Appears to be a collection company -- I have been receiving calls
for this guy from various collection companies for the past
three years.  Must have been the previous "owner" of my number.

Calls keep coming for the last two years, that is how long ago, that I told them, that I am not the person they are trying to contact... to no avail. Now I just let it ring. Lately, the call come in, even on Sunday..enough! The AG of Texas has a consumer action line, it is time to fight back. Hopefully, the caller will send a prepaid envelope. I shall attach it to a brick and send it back to them, The postage due should be a surprise. I don't think that they have a known father.

Its a collection agency... they buy your credit defaults or are sent your info and they call non-stop...even when you talk to an actual person... I am still getting calls for an account that was up to date and CLOSED over 6yrs ago...

I, too have been getting calls from this number on my landline stating that this is a call for (what sounds like), charles rouse.  I just called them and hopfully the calls will stop.  It's VERY annoying.  Never got calls like this until I got a Net10 cell.  Had to have that number changed the calls were so numerous.  What's going on here??!

I also keep getting a call from this "company".  We are very suspicous that it may be someone "phishing" for personal information.  The lady that I spoke with also answered Chase Receivables and was not very happy when I would not answer some of her questions.  I then called Chase to see if I could find out if it was legitimate.  They only told me that they are investigating several frauds and could not even check if it was a valid Chase number or not.

After 3 months of daily messages on our machine from this company, I finally had enough and called them back.  They were asking for my husband's EX-WIFE! We've been married over 11 years and have had no communication with that witch.  If they call me again, they will be reported to the FCC for violations of the privacy acts and harassment.
YOU GOT THAT CHASE RECEIVABLES?

These morons just called us 5 times in a row!!!  

If you aren't the person being called, and your name isn't being removed from their solicitation/phone call list:  A good  place to file a complaint is with the Federal Communications Commission.  The rules they govern are stricter.  I believe it is complaint # 1088

FCC doesn't mess with complaints; and my complaints in the past have usually been investigated!!!  

FTC and donotcall, place complaints on a list, and will investigate, file charges if they see a pattern.  So everyone needs to file complaints, so that there will be a definite pattern!.

Anyone have problems with Collection Agencies calling?  There are laws to protect Consumers from these jerks.  #1, they technically do not have any authority.  They usually purchase charged off bills, from other creditors for pennies on the dollar.  #2, because the bill is with an original creditor, and not the Collection Agency, you are NOT obligated to these jerks.  They will try to convince you that you are.  #3 the only way you become obligated to these agencies, is 1) if a new contract/agreement is done in writing, and you sign - but you are NOT obligated to; and 2) is if you make payment arrangements with them; thereby creating a contract/agreement, where none exist, when they first contact you!!!

The "Law of Novation" states that when a new owner of an account or an alleged debt, a New Contract must be written and signed by All parties, for a Contract/Agreement to be in place, with a different Creditor.  Collection Agencies are known for violating Federal Consumer Protection Laws; and they are allowed to, because those uneducated in those laws, keep allowing them to.

If the American people, became educated in these Consumer Protection Laws, Collection Agencies would have to close their doors, due not not receiving any money, when customers are sent bills, or collection demand letters.  

However, you technically do need to respond to them, if they are sent Certified mail, otherwise, they don't know, if you actually received them or not.  A Cease or Desist or Cease Communication letter, similar to:

To: Name
address
city, state

date

RE:  
Original Creditor Account: 689259820
Amount in Dispute: $  

Dear Eastern Collection Corp.:

I am in receipt of your demand for payment.  However, this Notice is to confirm that I do not wish to be contacted again by you, and that you are hereby put on Notice to Cease Communication pursuant to 15 USC Section 1692c(c).  Failure to comply with said Notice, shall result in a complaint filed and submitted, to the Federal Trade Commission, and possible legal remedies, in an appropriate United States District Court.

In addition, PLEASE TAKE NOTICE THAT, I am not waiving my right to dispute, the alleged debt asserted herein, but at this time I am under no obligation, to respond as a result of  ________’s default.

Sincerely,

If you answer the phone,  simply say:"I do not discuss financial matters by phone - send me a statement in writing and I will respond to it."  Then Hang up!!!  Otherwise, they will have you completely shaken!!!  The longer they keep you on the line, the more chance they have, to get money from you including payment arrangements – or payment agreement/contract!!!  You are NOT legally obligated to talk to them!!!

Collection agencies are ruthless jerks!!!  They will tell you they are the original creditor when they are not - even though it is illegal, for them to do it, per Federal Consumer Protection Laws.  You can legally sue them for $1,000.00 per violation.

When you do get a statement - google "FAIR DEBT COLLECTION PRACTICES ACT" One or more online Attorney websites will be shown.  These websites will have valuable information, including a Cease & Desist sample letter; or a Cease Communication letter.  Once received, it is a violation of the Federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, to contact you further.

You can also educate yourself by reading Consumer Protection Laws at www.ftc.gov;  a lot of valuable information.  Don’t have time,  download and read later.  You will be glad you did!!!

I am not an Attorney - just an Educated Consumer, in Consumer Protection Laws.  I have spent hours studying these laws and becoming familiar with them.  They have helped us and friends/family as well; and hopefully it will help someone, who reads this.

And for those self-righteous criticizers, who say, just pay your bills on time; things happen to people with Credit Card debt, medical bills etc., often beyond their control such as job loss, divorce, death, illness etc. and you find your self in a bind.  We've been there, we know.  You do not plan to pay late, or not make payments; but if the income quits - there's not a whole lot one can do!  You then are forced to prioritize, Mortgage, Utilities, Car payment then food, if you can!  Other things have to be let go!  

I hope this information will be helpful to somebody who reads it!!!  Also another site to check out is www.ccdnlaw.com, good information.  And they can help you!!!  If you fill out the contact us, put down your referral by tlcpetmommy – in the comments section;  they will know who I am!!!

No message, no voicemail, just a text in all Caps. saying to PLEASE CALL.  They call 5 times in a row and are a general nuisance. This has gone on for months....................

I get calls from Chase Receivables every day trying to collect on an old Verizon account. I have told them it's the wrong number but they call anyway. I do not know how they got my new cell number.

Chase Receivables is NOT Chase Bank! They are a collection agency in California. Do not let let them imply they represent the bank.

I keep getting a call from 800-622-0484 everyday for 3 months and also 262-955-0183 and it lasts for 15 seconds. I pay my sons cell bill e is 10. I have been paying more for the minutes because of the constant messages being left.  I only get so many minutes a month for my account.

Chase Receivable.... Grrrrrr!!
The name they want is a person who used to have my number
If I answer and stay on the line, they tell me a representative will be on shortly to talk, and then they hang up on me.  Awesome......
