Automated Computer Call System left massages on daily bases, Merchants Credit Guide buys the old credit card debts from non-collectable list for a penny on the dollar and using terrorist tactics to extort money on the expired statue of limitations debt illegally.

I have no past due credit debits on any of my reports, but I have received two recorded messages from ths number on my voice mail.  The recording asked if I was "so and so" to hold for an "important call" and if I wasn't to ignore the call.  So I ignored the call.  A few days later I received the same message again.  So I went online and found the number belongs to a sleazy debit collection agency going under 3 different names that I found so far. Palisades Credit Collections, Merchants Guide Company and Washinton Mutual,  Merchants Guide was the name given on my message.

I have also recieved a call from this company, called it back with the number on the voicemail since we've recently bought a house and our credit stuff has become "active" again.  After about a 5 minute talk with "Charles," I could tell it was a scam and discontinued the call.  I am contacting the BBB and Colorado State offices for "Fair Debt Collection" to see what can be done with this company.

Have received numerous calls from this number. Automated caller asks for "Denise" Somebody... If I'm not her, ignore the call. After several calls to my number, I called back to find out what was going on, got put on hold for a long time, then hung up. Still getting calls from time to time.

Calls from MCG have started up again. Lets play thier game. When you get a call from one of these PITA (pain in the ___) callers. Post a message here so everyone can join in the fun. If they are calling from an 800 type #, if not and it's your area code please help by calling. EVERYONE START CALLING THAT NUMBER AND HANGING UP. Just got another 866-xxx-xxxx unavailable call. No message. Will start calling and hopefully COSTING them money. Paying for call out, paying for person to answer call and paying for the call in. I think their balance sheet will help stop the bull patty.

Lets give it a try. Heck, just for fun when Rubin calls, tape his message. Call the 800 number and play the tape. Hang up and do it again. Wonder how long it would be before you drive them crazy?

Just received a call today from this number.  The number on callerID showed call from MCG.  They left a message the person's name is Stacy, left a message to call back to 1-888-249-4134.

I got a call from 888-249-4134, and they got my voice mail...they left the "if you are "X", press one, if not, press 9 to remove your name from our list" message. The killer is, they asked for ME, but by my maiden name! I haven't had that name in many years!! I'm sure  I don't owe anyone any money, especially under my maiden name! Next time they call, i'm gonna answer and see what happens, and i'll tell them my name is Jane Doe, see if they keep calling back!

I got a call from this number on a couple of occasions.  Once they asked for a Gloria Fontenot; no one with that name lives with me.  Then, they called again, this time asking for my name.  The last time I had debt outstanding was Discover Card, Direct Merchants, Providian Bank and Capital One; all of which are now over seven years old.  First of All Providian National Bank was bought out by Washington Mutual in 2005 or so, then by Chase last year.  Second, Direct Merchants is now Household Bank (HSBC).  About 6 weeks to 2 months ago I watched a report about this company on Dateline NBC.  These people have been known to go as far as to say that you will be arrested if you fail to pay the debt as owed.  This is a scam, these people, according to the news report, are mean, doing everything that they can to get money out of the people that call them back.  I did not call them back, I then researched the number to this site linking it to this scam.  Basically this company buys old debt lists that are past the statute of limitations (7 years)for pennies on the dollar trying to collect, which is illegal.  I would recommend that people that are called by this company contact the Attorney General's office in their state for further advice as to what action they may be able to take in resolving this matter.

they called today and identified themselves as Direct Credit...want to talk to me about a debt... I told them what they could suck, that the statute had passed, end of story. glad I googled this..my hunch was it was exactly like this. they did ask for my name, however, I am c ertain whatever debt they are bothering me about has to be at least nine years old, if not longer...........actually, they hung up when they got my cell phone recording, but I called back and got some rude, ignorant, threatening [***], which is why I was profane and insulting back. these people live to intimidate. they have the wrong one!

The name they give is Natalie Ibo (I think).

Here we go again!  The message said "If you are not Natalie Ibo, please hang up or disconnect."

Here's another one!

I got one too!  They asked to Natalie Ibo!!!

I received the calland no one responded when I said hello. One more phone minute down the drain.

I receievd a message in my voice mail and the caller looking for a person by the name of Audrey E Lim and there is no such person living in this residence.

I have no past due credit debits on any of my reports, but I have received two recorded messages from ths number on my voice mail.  The recording asked if I was "so and so" to hold for an "important call" and if I wasn't to ignore the call.  So I ignored the call.  A few days later I received the same message again.  So I went online and found the number belongs to a sleazy debit collection agency going under 3 different names that I found so far. Palisades Credit Collections, Merchants Guide Company and Washinton Mutual,  Merchants Guide was the name given on my message.
