Calls come in ALL DAY LONG from start @ 7am to 8:56 PM is the latest I have ever gotten one , happens 6 days a week.  I blocked the other number and this one then started!
Not sure what it is for, no voicemail left, and the one time I answered it I had a women on the other end yelling in a different language and not able to tell me who she is looking for, have had enough will block this number now - ALSO

Calls me 3-5 times a day

when you know they are going to call,forward your phone to the local non-emergency police dept.

If you have spare time and if you are getting annoyed by these people, just call them a few times and say nothing.  IQOR probably has to pay for every incoming toll free call and you waste their time.  Use a payphone if you don't want to use your own phone.

This is collection agency - I Call Canada Limited - they would not confirm that they are collection agency however once I got the supervisor on line he agreed to remove my number from their calling pool list - we shall see what happens

Yeah, mine is similar but they never talk. They've called me 11 times in a day once and they average about 4 to 6 every other day, I don't pick up anymore because it costs me money.

After getting 7 hang-up phone calls in a row from these people on my cell phone last Tuesday, I Googled the phone number and found this forum. After reading many of the complaints, and learning that this collections agency was calling me in error, I decided to put my experience as an actress, voice-over artist and screenwriter to good use. When this company called for the 8th time on the same day, I yelled "Hello!" to get the voice-activated dialing system to switch me over to one of their "human" representatives. When the woman said "Hello?", I responded cheerily "Zimmel & Associates. How may I direct your call?" The woman said "Is Lamont there?" I responded "I'm sorry, we have no lawyer here by that name." There was silence for a moment, then she said "I don't understand. I'm looking for Lamont." I said "We're a (city)-based law firm specializing in civil litigation. Do you have a case you'd like to discuss with one of our lawyers?". "Sorry," she muttered, "I'll move on to the next number." Then, she hung up. I haven't heard from them since. Give it a try. So long as you haven't already revealed that you are a person and not a business, you might be able to trick them into deleting your phone number from their automated dialing system by pretending to be a law firm, a retail store, a hair dressing salon or hotel. Just keep calm and stay in character. Good luck!

I just called them back and they said they were looking for someone who isn't me. I told them I just had my number changed and they said they would remove me from their list. We'll see if that works.

this is really annoying.

877-490-5945 iQor Inc. Debt Collection Agency

Here's an article by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation that reported on the illegal activity conducted by iQor Collections Agency which has been found GUILTY and fined thousands of dollars in Quebec and Alberta for harrassing people who didn't owe anyone any money.

Collection agency harassed debt-free Canadians - Hundreds of complaints filed across country against iQor Canada
http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/story/2012/10/3 ... ng-numbers.html

IQor Inc., the New York-based global parent company.

Employees of one of Canada's largest debt collection agencies, iQor Canada, have routinely and sometimes knowingly contacted people who did not owe debt, a practice for which the company has been fined several times this year, a CBC News investigation has found.

Hundreds of complaints have been filed over the past few years about iQor Canada to provincial consumer affairs agencies, the federal telecommunications regulator CRTC, and the RCMP Anti-Fraud Squad, many stemming from repeated phone calls to people who don't owe any money.

Former employees told CBC News about calling non-debtors — including relatives of debtors and unrelated people with a similar last name to a debtor.

"We would just keep calling them and calling them and calling them,” a former employee told CBC News.

The insider, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said that in some cases the debt collection agency only had the last name of a debtor and would call everyone with the same last name in the general geographical vicinity.

“[The company] just pays us to call them and we call them and we don’t bother with if it’s honest or not," said the former iQor worker.

The former employee said he believed some people even paid for debts they never owed.

Alberta and Quebec have slapped iQor Canada with a total of $25,710 in fines for violating provincial regulations this year. (2012)

Quebec fined iQor Canada $12,510 in February for several violations of their consumer protection regulations, such as continuously contacting a non-debtor, failing to correspond only in writing when asked to do so and failing to respond on time to an information request.

Alberta also fined the company for a total of $13,200, including for restitution, related to several cases that included collecting money from someone who didn't owe it, calling someone excessively to the point of harassment, pursuing a debt after the statute of limitations had expired and calling a person more than three times in a week.

The American subsidiary of iQor, Allied Interstate Inc., was fined $1.75 million in 2010 by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission for its alleged attempts to collect debts from debt-free individuals, "harassing phone calls" and the use of "abusive language.”

Following a high-volume of complaints in the United States, supervision of debt collection agencies is slated to fall under a federal agency, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, for the first time starting in January of 2013.

*NOTE* Record the number of harassing calls and then Report these @holes to the CRTC so they they can be fined repeatedly as they harass people.

Realistically everyone who has received a call from these immoral @holes should join a class action lawsuit and literally sue them out of business, so that they are completely bankrupt and penniless, living on the streets.
