423-467-6980

Caller is from Citibank - PITA operator called about a closed Exxon Mobil gas card account on a Sunday. Go figure. Usually they call and never say anything before the line is disconnected.

Had to change  phone number because of  calls like these.. now with "New" number  still getting these disturbing hang up calls.

After web research to identify the owner of this number, I called Home Depot and complained about calls (my Home Depot card expired 5 years ago and is invalid). One person said they'd put my number on a Do Not Call list and a gentleman did a search and said this number didn't even come up as a valid Home Depot number.  However, I'm still receiving one or two calls a day.  They never leave a message and twice when I did answer to tell them my number is on the U.S. Do Not Call register and to quit calling or I'd report them, the only sound was that of a fax machine.  Someone needs to stop this!

This number continues to harrass... after   being told it is our new number and not the person they wish to speak to.

Same problem for us, new number NOW getting harrasing calls  for the previous owner of the number.  That DO NOT CALL LIST is full of BS...they still call ( I registered  the new number 3 months ago!)

423-467-6980 is The Home Depot Credit Card Calling...............

Yes I owe money but lost my husband and my Mother within 2 years of each other...these Associates Comm call up to 13 times a day.When you answer, there is noone there...so each morning I take my phone off teh hook...I am workign on getting a debt program together and have no intention of paying these folks directly...they raised my rate from 7.99 to 29% when I was paying on time....they can wait. Feeding my kids is more important than them right now...

Your experience is not shared by anyone else.
It is obvious you are the Debt Collector, trying to put a positive spin on the situation.

Sure that is how it is supposed to work in theory... BUT in reality that is not what happens. I received calls from a CitiCard Home Depot debt collector for another person who had this phone number three years ago. I expained this to the person , who became very rude and threatening.  
I kept receiving calls all day & night, on week days & weekends.  I blocked the phone number & after a week they just started calling from a second number.  I blocked the second number, after another week the debt collector started called using a third number.
Now I am going to try EOD's suggestion.

I wonder what the big secret is ?  Why they won't leave a message ?  Why they block who is calling ?  This home does not accept telemarketing calls

sur they are. calling 10-12 times A DAY 7 days a week, and I do not nor have I had any Citi cards, or cards they service.
They do not honor do not call, they do not honor WRITTEN clarification, and as far as "polite/nice bunch..." well perhaps in between the profanity, name-calling, and rude/demeaning statements, and this is to someone who does not have accounts with Citi.
BTW  It is flat illegal to cause someone to incur a charge for contact by phone, which happens if you call this number.

and your rude tone says YOU are a collector troll working for citi

when you and your &@#!@#*($% bank start showing some intelligence and compassion, perhaps more people will pay their bills.
29, 39, 49 % interest does not make for anything but fat bank pockets, and slaves of a society that all but requires people to have credit.
So many things you can't do if you don't have credit.

I don't understand why they started calling on 10/25.  On 10/19, I realized I wouldn't be able to pay the minimum payment of $97, but I arranged to pay it on 10/26 (my payday).  I, in fact, cancelled the arranged payment, and then paid it immediately.  Yet, they still called me both 10/25 and 10/26.  If I arranged to make payment, even late, and then made sure it was paid, why would you still call me?

Told these guys they had the wrong number. I have a simple way I live my life, yes mess with my family, I will mess with you. Home Depot was turned in for EPA violations behind one of thier stores shortly after my family started recieving these harassing calls. They had a broken bad of fertilizer out in the rain. They keep calling, I will keep turning them in for somthing.

Who said anything about defaulting on a credit card. I do not have one of thier credit cards, yet they harass my family. I am hitting Home Depot with every EPA violation I can find to give to them what one of thier vendors dishes out. Home Depot needs to understand, they can bully, but its our job to make that very painful for them.

I don't HAVE any debt and this number keeps calling.  I just disconnect it as soon as I see the number display, which is my cell phone.  

which is another reason I know this is SPAM because my cell number is NOT listed on any of my accounts.

Please dont blame Home Depot.  This is citi and the hardworking people at Home Depot dont have control over them.

This is CitiBank / HOME DEPOT DEBT COLLECTORS - just buy yourself a Call Blocker - end of story...why take ANY calls from collectors, for a $100 investement, you can not have your telephone ring at all to any # or range of phone numbers! COOL....no more calls period! Times they are changing, power to the people!

The other posts are correct about the Home Depot & Citibank connections. My caller ID read "Associates com...[?]". I called the number back because when I asked who was calling, no one answered and then it hung up. I really appreciate the sharing about this #. I told the guy who answered never to call me again. But he didn't have Caller ID and I refused to give mine. I've been getting harrassing calls from another number, in Kentucky, related to this, 4-5 times a day including Sundays & holidays. I told that number to stop and they won't. They'll never reach me. Life is too hard for me in critical ways; I'm making my best efforts but it's not working so far. Meanwhile, I won't tolerate the harrassment. The debt collectors should redirect their efforts toward finding good jobs for unemployed Americans who have more integrity than income.

I don't have a Home Depot card and have never had a home depot card but they have started calling me.

I will be reporting them to my state attorney general for the Do Not Call list.

some of you people are just really dumb.... like this one im responding too... first of all the "Do not call" regestry does not apply too debt collectors nor does it apply to any company with which you had established a previous business relationship with (this includes inquiries but thats another subject all together)

in other words the do not call registry only stops "Cold Callers." or, telemarketers that are calling random numbers that have not shown interest in whatever product or service they are offering and have not shown interest in the bussiness.

secondly, debt collectors are third party, meaning that calling home depot is useless because your "debt" has been sold to the collectors, meaning you now owe THEM, not home depot.  And yes you still owe money regardless of when the card expires, debt does not expire. Home depot may very well have added you to THEIR OWN do not call list, meaning they wont call you from the store, obviously thats not the problem your having.

so yeah, report them as much as you want, untill you've paid that debt you will keep getting calls.

their is the "Fair debt collections practices act" law that requires collection agencies stop calling you upon recieving a certified WRITTEN letter via mail (just telling them to stop calling over the phone does nothing). however whenever this happens most agencies have an agreement with the original creditor to return such requests, in which case the FDCPA does no longer apply..

in other words:

If you had a credit account with home depot and home depot calls you and you ask them to stop: they dont have too, they have every legal right to call you

if home depot sold your debt to a collection agency (in this case citi financial) and you ask them to stop calling:  The account is concidered hostile and returned to home depot, in which case you will now be getting calls from home depot, who very well may sell the debt to a NEW collector who can then begin calling you...

usually if it actually goes as far as to be returned to home depot: they will then take you to court.

pay your debt...
