888-581-7441

I am hearing impaired and have a captioning phone - Received call on 8/2/20 - left message saying Kelly Perkins to call them - that is not me.

Get calls multiple times a day from this number. Most the time I get dead air and I hang up. A few times I have answered, they ask for a guy who is not me, since I am a female. I will tell them they have the wrong number, and wont call for a few days, and then I have the calls again asking for the same man.

They are a last-of-the-line collection agency called FBCS (aka Federal Bond Collection Services, Inc. - related to SBCS ???).  Their internet site is:

http://www.fbcs-inc.com/

They either buy their debt to collect on from other near-the-end-of-the-line collection agencies such as MCM (Midlands Credit Management) or are just another company front for the same business to throw folks off.  That is about all that I can muster from my conversations with their call agents and from what I can find from my research on the internet.

They are trying to collect from someone who used to have my phone number.  They do not believe that I am not that person despite me telling them numerous times.  They do NOT respect the national Do Not Call List (DNCL) registry.  Do not bother answering.

Other numbers they call from:

888-581-7449
866-594-8640 (may be MCM itself)
866-594-8651 (may be MCM itself)

PLEASE FEEL FREE TO *REPLY* WITH OTHER NUMBERS THEY HAVE CALLED YOU FROM SO FOLKS HAVE A GOOD LIST OF THEIR COMMON NUMBERS.

I believe they have the type of phone system (PBX/ACD) that they can control the number that is displayed on your phone's caller ID when they call as they have also called from a number local to me even though they are based on the East coast (PA).  I guess they could have an office here in town or using a call center here in town.  The company I work for has a PBX that you can do so, so I know it is a possibility.

The local number (NE) they called me from that they may have spoofed with their PBX/ACD was:

402-718-9784

MCM (based out of ) has a website and phone number:

866-406-7565

They are "owned" by Encore Capital Group (headquartered in San Diego, CA with offices in Phoenix/AZ, St. Cloud/MN, and Arlington/TX).  Their stock ticker is:  ECPG (Nasdaq)  Encore's website and phone number are:

Encore has a subsidiary named Ascension Capital Group, Inc. with a phone number of:

Yeah, they call me non-stop about someone's debt whom I do not know.  Thanks for the info Bob.  Looks like Encore's management team is listed on their website at:

A lot of former employees of Capital One.

I just received a call fom them on 402-718-9810.  Maybe they are in Omaha, NE?  I'm in Iowa across the river.  They asked for someone who I have never heard of before.

I just received a call from them from 888-581-7449.

I have never heard of the person they were asking for.  I hope I do not get anymore calls from them but from the sound of it, I likely will.

GET CALLS FROM THIS NUMBER STATING I COSIGNED A PAPER I NEVER SIGNED THEY JUST DEMAND MONEY WILL NOT GIVE ME THERE INFORMATION SUCH AS ADDRESS AND WHAT THE DEBT IS FOR TOLD THEM THE ADDRESS THEY ARE SAY THEY ARE BILLING HAS NEVER BEEN MY ADDRESS. VERY ABUSIVE TOLD ME THEY DO NOT CARE THAT IT IS NOT MY DEBT THEY JUST WANT PAYMENT ARRANGEMENTS. THE COMPANY IS SUPPOSE TO BE CALLED SBCS FINANCIAL SERVICES

FBCS- They have called me from at least 5 different numbers: 888-581-7441, 866-594-8640, 866-594-8667, 866-594-8651, 888-581-7449. They can use as many numbers as they want, if I don't recognize it, I won't answer, and they never bother leaving a message.

hello,how are you? I am having trouble with this deb collectors MCM,they want to collect 2,900,last week I got a letter from them saying that I own 2,606.70. they been harassing me on the phone and I finally answer today and they agree to eliminate a 40% of the $2,900  if I give them $1,200,then $1,000, than  $800 was the most I can do because he was very very aggressive and did not want to let me go without me agreeing on any of his deals and he wants my bank card info,which I did not gave him. than after the$ 800, $75 pay in payments of a yr. I`m afraid if they are real or not,they have all my info but the numbers they use don`t match the letter`s number they send me. any advice please,please?
thank you for been here
God bless you

You should have verified your credit report then requested information from the company to be sent via mail verifying debt and reason for collection. Also if you dispute a debt with a credit bureau by law if the agency does not verify within 30 days they must remove said debt from your report.
