November 18, 2009

This telephone harrassment first started about a year ago, where "CCS" and about two dozen other numbers from Florida, Texas, and elsewhere started calling our residence four times a day and harrassing us about some bogus "Nicholas Thomas," and at all odd hours.

We are listed in the white pages, and we have had this same home phone number for nearly twenty years. A simple reverse look-up on the "dexknows.whitepages.com" website produces our name and home address. These low life so- called "bill collectors," if that's what they really are, are deliberately rude, they never listen, and they make absolutely no sense at all if ever you make the naive mistake of trying to talk some sense to them, such as "there is no 'Nicholas Thomas' here, nor has there ever been a 'Nicholas Thomas' at this number. So please don't call here again." These numbskulls are either bored and unscrupulous bill collectors that just like harrassing people and getting them upset, or they work for some psychological warfare division of the military. Best advice, tell them "Do not call this number again or we will report your number to the authorities." If they call again, tell them calmly, "we are going to report you to the police," then hang up immediately. And if they call again, which they probably will, tell them that "we are going to FILE A CRIMINAL COMPLAINT AGAINST THE COMPANY AND THE AGENT WITH THE STATE ATTORNEY'S OFFICE BOTH IN YOUR STATE AND IN THEIR STATE." (I read that legal advice on another website comment, where you can file telephone harrassment complaints with your state Attorney General’s office on www.naag.org, and with the Federal Trade Commission on www.ftc.gov.

Main thing is to remain calm and relaxed if ever you do talk to rogue "bill collectors." Perhaps their telephone harrassment campagnes are part of some "bill collector training program," to repeatedly call random numbers and incoherently harrass the respondents, to make sure that the 33% commission-only telephone harrassers are following their low life'd training program?  Whoever, or whatever, they are, they are trying to upset you. Don't let them. The more belligerent they get, the calmer and more jovial you get. Start speaking nonsense to them in a happy and enthusiastic voice. Giggling manipulatively under your breath at them will really piss them off.  Sing your "ABC's" to them as if you were in kindergarten grade school. Whistle a well known song in their ear, like "When Johnny comes marching home again" etc. That's your way of letting them know that you "got their number." IOW, you're beating them at their own game. They don't want to hear your nonsense, any more than you want to hear theirs. I did this to them last time around, talking to them all goofy and nonsensical, and it made them angry and frustrated, and they stopped calling me for a whole year, i.e. until today.

But after the last month-long harrassment ordeal from the CCI phone-clowns ad nauseam, we added caller id, call waiting and voicemail to our residential telephone service. This makes a special ringtone when incoming calls are from "toll free," "private name," and other such "spam" numbers. Blocking the rogue numbers is generally useless, because the harrassing callers usualy change the phones they are calling from. We just never answer "special ring" calls. And if they do leave a message, we simply delete the message without ever listening to it. Works like a charm. But sometimes my wife makes the mistake of picking up the phone too soon on "special ring" calls, if the tv's too loud, or if something else is distracting her. She did it today, and now it's back to the old "nicholas thomas" illegal harrassment routine. I reminded her to never pick up on "special ring" calls under any circumstances. And just let the unsolicited home-intrusion criminals eat static. IOW, just ignore them completely and never answer the phone or speak to them no matter how many times they try to call you.

THEY LEGALLY CANNOT SAY IT URGENT. THEY MUST LEAVE A MESSAGE. IT'S CALLED A FOTI MESSAGE "HELLO, NAME, THIS IS CALLING FROM SENTRY CREDIT. I AM A DEBT COLLECTOR ATTEMPTING TO COLLECT A DEBT.

IN VOICE MAIL OR SPOKEN TO AN AGENT @ THE NUMBER) THEY CANNOT LEAVE YOU A MESSAGE. ALSO, IF YOU NOTIFY A COLLECTOR THAT THEY ARE CALLING YOUR CELL PHONE, THEY MUST HAVE YOUR PERMISSION TO DO SO AGAIN, OTHERWISE YOU MUST STATE NOT TO CALL BECAUSE IT IS A CELL. A COLLECTOR CANNOT CAUSE ACCRUAL OF EXPENSE FROM KNOWINGLY CALLING A CELL PHONE. THIS COMPANY DOES NOT PURCHASE DEBTS AND IS NOT STRICTLY COMMISSION BASED. THE EMPLOYEES ARE PAID $10.38 AN HOUR TO START PLUS COMMISSION AND FULL BENEFITS. SENTRY WILL SUSPEND AND TERMINATE EMPLOYEES FOR NOT COLLECTING ON AN ACCOUNT OR NOT COLLECTING ENOUGH ON ACCOUNTS. THERE ARE MINIMAL REQUIREMENTS EACH MONTH FOR THE EMPLOYEES. NOT ALL EMPLOYEES OF THIS COMPANY ARE INSENSITIVE, DEMEANING, OR HOSTILE...SENTRY KEEPS THOSE EMPLOYEES WHILE THE OTHERS WHO POSESS CLASS AND RESPECT ARE TERMINATED. THE ALLEGATIONS OF ALCOHOL AND NARCOTIC ABUSE ARE TRUE. EMPLOYEES DO ARRIVE, REMAIN, AND ON THE PREMISES USE ILLEGAL DRUGS. PERHAPS THE EVERETT AND VANCOUVER POLICE SHOULD BE NOTIFIED OF THIS. COLLECTION AGENCIES MUST ACCEPT REASONABLE PAYMENTS - THE ONLY REASON MORE IS DEMANDED IS FOR THE EMPLOYEES QUOTA WHICH IS YELLED OUT ANDAPPLAUDED ON THE FLOOR. ALSO. IT IS NOT ILLEGAL TO CALL EMPLOYERS IN CERTAIN STATES, CHECK YOUR STATE LAWS. EACH STAE DIFFERS. SENTRY HAS IN HOUSE SKIP-TRACING TO FIND ANY AND ALL INFORMATION AND WILL MANIPULATE OTHERS FOR INFORMATION. DO NOT ALLOW THIS! FINALLY, THEY DO NOT EVER SPEAK DIRECTLY WITH THE CREDITORS SO DO NOT BE FOOLED BY THIS. IT'S CALLED A PSYCHE HOLD. WHILE CREDITORS DO HAVE CRITERIA SENTRY AND OTHER COLLECTION AGENCIES WILL MAXIMIZE YOUR PAYMENT.

ALSO CALLING HOURS ARE FROM 8:00 A.M. UNTIL 9:00 P.M. YOUR TIME. THEY CAN ONLY CALL EACH NUMBER ONCE AND IF THEY CONTACT SOOMEONE, LEGALLY THEY CANNOT CALL AGAIN.CHECK YOUR LAWS AND PROTECT YOURSELF. AT THE SAME TIME UNDERSTAND THAT IF A BALANCE IS OWED CALLING YOU IS NOT HARASSMENT. THREATENING YOU, TELLING YOU YOU'RE LYING, ETC. IS. LOOK UP THE F.D.C.P.A. INACTED SEPTEMBER 20, 1977. ALL 3RD PARTY COLLECTION AGENCCIES MUST FOLLOW THIS - IT'S FEDERAL LAW! IF YOUR RIGHTS ARE BEING ABUSED BY ALL MEANS SUE!!!!!!
