Collection Agency. They've called over 10 times in the past week. I've told them each time that this was my number, the person they are calling had the number years ago, and that I don't not know or have any contact information for the loser they want.
This is not a case of my number having to be removed from their database. They've been calling for over three weeks (once a day, sometimes twice), and everytime I tell them to remove me and explain the situation. Finally, today, I'd had it. I told them if they called again I was going to sue the company for harassment. The lady told me "we can call you if we want to collect a debt." I told her it isn't my debt or even close to being anyone I know. She said she didn't care and that *I* could pay the debt if I wanted them to stop calling. What the fvck?
What do you guys think? Sick the AG on them? Show up at their office (they are local), and harass them back with a megaphone?
Edit: Just to make it clear, I do NOT know the person they are calling. I know their name (because they've told me), but that is it.
BTW, their number is: (205)290-4214. They are called Nexcheck LLC. If anyone wants to call and waste their time feel free. They are open until 9. I had to engage in retaliation, but these bastards have made me mad.
Update: The calls have continued since my original post. I've received 5 more, and I have the dates and times documented -- as well as a record on my caller ID.
I called them back AGAIN and told them to remove me, and again they promised they would. The FTC replied back that there is nothing they can do unless I file suit against the company in court under the FDCPA act. My State AG has not contacted me. The FCC has not responded either. The last call was last night, but they have not called back since then.
Anymore suggestions? I am really hesitant about wasting time and resources to file suit, but this is beyond ridiculous.
