These folks keep calling trying to reach my husband's brother. He doesn't live here, has never lived here, and my husband doesn't know how to reach him.  They keep leaving mean messages. Is it legal for them to harass us when we're not even the ones who owe anything?

Caller ID came up "marketing."  Woman would not give reason for the call.  I told her we were on the DNC list, and they were not permitted to call this number, then hung up.  She did call back, I did not answer, and have blocked this number.

We just did credit checks and bought a new house.  Our credit was good, and we have nothing outstanding.

Caller ID said UNAVAILABLE.  No message left.  We got caller ID because of harassing calls for someone who doesn't live here.  Sounds as if the other two outfits sold the account to some new sucker.  Maybe they are working for the phone company to drum up business for caller ID!

yea he called and didn't leave a message and i called hm back and hung up on him because all he said was hello. so who knows where he works.

This number has just called my home for the second time, for my father in law. He does not live here and never has.  The first time they called I was not home,  but the message that was left was very rude and threatening.  When they called today, it was a pre recorded message, it was different than the first but it was still very rude.  I called the number they gave me, and told the woman that answered that my father in law did not live at this number, and that their message was very rude.  She interrupted me and said "oh, so it is a wrong number?" and then hung up.  I am debating calling them back.

This number has called me at all different hours.  Never leaves a message and I don't generally answer calls with unavailable as a name.  The one time I did answer no one said anything so I hung up.  I'm tired of this.

I get calls too from this number 1-716-650-6240.It's about a debit 8 years ago and I didn't get the loan from them and I will never pay them for something that I didn't buy from them.Lucky for us I put that number on block out. I see the number come up on my computer screen but it doesn't ring so I don't have to listen to their bull ???? from them and they can't leave a message either.. They call as much as 5 to 6 times a day.I have Verizon (iobi) Phone sevices here in sunny Fl and it is great.Can block out up to 20 phone numbers. love it.............

These idiots have been calling almost every day for the past 3 weeks.

We are current with all our bills & have never been late or in collections.
Even better - I have a simple Trac-phone for emergencies & it is this phone which only my wife has the number of, that they keep calling...

Simply hit the ignore button & do not answer these scumbags.

My brother in law received a call from these people asking for me in my maiden name which I have not been in 13yrs. Jay was the persons name, very very rude. My husband called him back and he was rude to him asking if we were still together and saying stuff like she must have kicked you out. In my opionion that is none of his business. He called my husbands phone back and my daughter answered and he was asking her if me and my huisband were divorced or was my husband lying, my daughter hung up on him. I called and the first thing I was asked was my telephone number, which I did not give out.I was transfrered to another lady and then to that jerk. He told me it was a credit card then he said no a line of credit, which I have never had. He then began degrading me by saying I was one of those people who never paid their bills but in harsher words. I asked him for his address and he refused. I asked him to send me a contract that I signed and he refused. He said had sent me plenty of things and that is a lie. Someone please let me know what I can do about this horrible company.

I recieved a call from this number two 1 716-650-6240 at 10:00 AM hung up when he wouldn"t tell me what he was calling about, told me I should know and to get a lawyer. He called back one minute later started screaming and swearing that I was rude for hanging up  on him called me a B***h. My 12 year old daughter happened to pick up the phone when I was hanging up,{ she heard him start to that I must A LESBIAN {C**T}. Have contacted the better business bureau on this one.

Have recieved 20 calls in several days from this number

Got a call from this number and they left a message for my great-grandfather?  He died years ago so why would they be calling me?  Do I have to pay his debts?

The lady was very rude saying that I had to pay $2,000 right now and that I could only pay by giving her my bank routing and account number. I didn't give her any information and she kept getting even more rude.

This guy is a real peach.

Never talked to him.  My voice mail seems to set him off completely and now I chuckle like mad when I hear his threatening tone.  I picture a ruddy-faced tired, miserable looking individual on the other end of the line, knowing full well that making threats is illegal and not caring at all.  I'm thinking he's a few good arguments away from a severe heart-attack or stroke.

The cease and desist note that is mentioned in this thread is the best form of counter action that you can take against these guys.  

For a return address though, get a P.O. box.     - I do.

I have been called by this number several times a day and the mess is always the same . You need to call us back now we have a serious matter to discuss with you, so i called back today finally and all i got was a phone ringing and no one ever answered these people just dont give up

DO NOT ANSWER!!! National Action Financial Services. Google it. They come up on the caller ID as Call Center. This is among the VERY WORST debt collection agencies out there, referred to as bottom feeders, they buy up old debts, for pennies on the dollar, ofter debts that have been discharged, they re-age them, grossly inflate the actual amount and then start their low life tactics. Because of these illegal actions and others they are under constant law suites. DO NOT ANSWER THEIR CALLS! Wait until they send you a letter, contact them only by registered mail (return receipt requested),challenge them on the alleged account, it's your right.

this is a bill collector who likes to play lawyer i got a call from him today about my daughter his name is richard greko... dont buy into his ways he is nothing more then a bill collector

I've received a call from 716-650-4972 claiming to be a legal rep from the "Legal Processing Firm" by the name of Nichole Akers. The person called a relative of mine during work.

At first, I had no clue what was going on. I made the mistake of not verifying the debt with her company and stating that I would pay back the debt. I asked though who she was representing and gave me the name of Brightwater Capital LLC Group. There is a website but very barebones information. Just a phone number and an address out of Florida. The "legal rep" during the first call seemed very understanding of my situation and told me that she would place a temporary hold on the filing of court papers in my local state.

During the second call (the next business day and after I spent the weekend educating myself on creditors and the FDCPA [http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/consumer/credit/cre18.shtm] ), she became more and more hostile and after I asked politely for a letter of debt vaildation, she refused, stating that as part of the "lawyers representing Brightwater", she cannot do that for me and that I would have to contact Brightwater myself and gave me the phone number.

I finally received a phone call from Brightwater (had to leave a couple of messages on their answering machine) and spoke to a gentleman by the name of Scott. He told me that Brightwater outsources their payment settlements and such to a company called EastPoint Recovery (1-800-459-2417) who is authorized to take repayments on their behalf.

I suggest you contact LegalAid within your state and see if 1. you're judgement-proof and 2. get help with dealing with these more unsavory characters in our society. Lastly, if you're like me and just fell into bad times (losing job and home/living out of car/on streets).. call your original creditors and explain your situation BEFORE you let it fall through the cracks/ignore the problem.. because it will NOT go away... wo/man up and take responsibility for your actions. You used their money to pay for your goods..don't be a coward and walk away from your problems.

This [***] calls my mother to pass a message on to me, so I call the number get this guy claiming to be an investigator trying to collect a debt from 2009 threatening court and garnishments etc, told him fine send me a statement of what I owe, and where to send it to, and prove to me your actually entitled to collect the debt, and I would be happy to work out a settlement / payment asap. He flew off the handle at me demanded wire transfer of the funds or we would be in court and would be garnished then hung up on me, anyone else have this happen?

Called at 3:04pm and again at 3:10pm before I could finish checking this website.  From the first call, the message left, at least the woman was pleasant but I could not make out her name.  Second call came in from 716-650-5749
