Keep getting calls w/message left on recorder from this number ... for a "Marie ?" can't understand last name.  However, no such person known and certainly not at our phone.

Stop calling!

called i answered never said a word the called said hello i did not say any thing nd they hung up

Got a call from this number and the call cut out the name, if this is the said person press one if it is not the said person press two. Well if i dont know who they are looking for then how am i to know what number to press. So i just hang up.

My telephone shows this number calling, but they never leave a message. NOT PROVIDED is shown as the caller. From the other comments, apparently I am lucky no message is being left.

Never leaves a message but calls every day.

"if you are this person, please press" this is how the call starts, dont know howi am supposed to know who they are looking for when there is no name! Gets very annoying as this is almost a daily call.

When I talk to these type of people and they tell me what I owe..I tell them that I think I owe you more that...complete silence follows and then hangup..pretty funny...

Sick of this Penncredit calling my #
next time will have to answer to the FTC

Well known for violating all federal and state collection laws.  Per BigA from 800notes.com:
You need to send them a certified, return receipt debt validation, cease and desist calling, or "not me" letter (think of it as the best $6.59 you ever invested).  Also send it first class mail in case no one will sign for it.  Make a notation of that fact at the bottom of the letter.  You also need to report them to the proper agencies to which I have provided links to.  Then you need to go out and get a consumer lawyer to sue them on a contingency basis (no money out of your pocket) and let them pay you for the harassment.  If everyone did these three things, these crooks would be bankrupt and we would all be the richer for it.  Use these web sites to find an attorney in your state that will probably take the case on a contingency basis (no money out of your pocket up front):  http://www.consumeradvocates.org/
http://www.consumeradvocates.org/find-an-atto ... tates_value=All

Please note that they will continue to try to collect the debt even after receiving the letter.  At that point you have enough violations to file an FDCPA lawsuit and make them pay you for the harassment.

Everything else you need to know follows including at least two agencies where you should report their criminal activities.

PENN CREDIT AND COLLECTIONS ALSO GOES BY PENN CREDIT CORPORATION.
Alternate Business names:  C.C.C., CENTRAL CREDIT CONTROL, DEGARCIA, DONALD C. DONAGHER, JR.
They are known to be rude (especially someone named Jennifer who lies as well), and to attempt to collect debts after they were asked to validate them but did not.

It is incumbent upon them under the law to prove that the debt exists and that you owe it, and that they have the legal right to collect it.  You are not obligated under the law to prove that you don’t owe or that it is paid.

Federal law (FDCPA) requires them to send you a letter (US MAIL ONLY) postmarked within 5 days of their first contact that contains their name, physical address, the creditor’s name, and the amount of the alleged debt.  It also must contains “mini-Miranda” telling you that it is an attempt to collect a debt and that all information will be used for those purposes.  The one other important thing that this letter must also have in it is that you have a right to dispute the debt within 30 days of receipt of the letter and if you do so, all collection activity must be stopped until the debt is verified.

Read up on your rights here and also make a complaint at this government site:  http://www.consumerfinance.gov/

Also file a complaint with your State Attorney General's office.

This number calls my phone (automated) several times per DAY. I literally pay no attention to it, but it's starting to piss me off for real. How do you get it to STOP? To add insult to injury, the AUTOMATED CALL goes into "voicemail!!!" This is some bs.

Numerous automated calls from them left on voice mail.  There were 2 types from them.  One said it was for a person who doesn't live here.  The 2nd type was more annoying because the voice mail didn't leave any information of who was calling or a number to call - just that they had some personal information.  I don't have caller id so it required me tracking the number that called based on time of call through my phone provider.  When I called and told them that person doesn't live here, they told me they would remove my number.

Received this call twice today and have seen the number previously as missed calls asking to call back on personal business.

If you go to YouTube and put in Penn Credit Corp harassing phone calls you will learn alot

they call daily, more than once a day, I block the call, it is beyond annoying, don't pick up a call from that number it is a big time SCAM

these annoying #^&%$##@#$$#$ call me at east once a week and i never answer the phone. they leave a message that they have important personal business for me. They tell me to press 1 for the message. then they say i don't detect a response..thank you Goodbye. ALL THE TIME!!!!!

this lady has called every 1 hour from a pen credit co demanding I get in touch with them as soon as possible on the recording is not asking for me or any one I wish I knew I would give them something to be nasty about

This number has been calling for a year-I bought a call blocker-now phone rings once shows penn credit...so after a year and 3 - 4  times a day sometimes 5... they're still at it!

The scam debt collection business must be extremely lucrative.  Haven't heard from the Penn Credit scammers in quite a while, now they've started up again today.  The reason I say it's a lucrative business is that over the past couple of years, I've compiled a list of 14 debt collection agencies that I've never dealt with and that have never sent me anything about who the original creditor was, the original credit amount, the total accrued interest and penalty, etc.  A legitimate debt collector would do that, but if you're a phony to begin with, you're certainly not gonna provide that basic info.  If anybody is interested, the list includes the following scammers:

Crawley & Bergman Debt Collectors (1 #)
Crossings Debt Collectors (6 #'s)
Denning Associates (1 #)
Enhanced Recovery Corp (3 #'s)
FF&G (Fulton, Friedman & Gullace LLC) (4 #'s)
Midland Credit Management (4 #'s)
Monarch Recovery Management (2 #'s)
National Recovery Agency (1 #)
Penn Credit (2 #'s)
Portfolio Recovery (3 #'s)
Trident Asset Management (2 #'s)
United Collection Bureau (1 #)
Van Ru Credit Collections (1 #)
Vital Recovery (4 #'s)

Avoid all of these scammers like the plague, and above all else...NEVER ANSWER THEIR PHONE CALLS!!

I have debit with them (I never get it)
