    Northland Group has a reputiation for harassing and abusing alleged debtors, as well as for contacting and continuing to abuse the wrong person.

    File a complaint with the Minnesota Attorney General.

    In addition, send them a letter, certified return receipt requested, notifying them that the party they are trying to reach (give name) is not reachable at your number (give your number), that you do not khow that person, and that you are demanding that they cease communications with you as provided for in FDCPA.

    On verifying their receipt of your letter through return of the green card, log any future contacts or harassment, tell them in any call that you have told them to cease communications, and note date, time, and details of the call including details of additional abuse.  If they continue to harass you, file complaints with FTC, your state AG, MN AG, and find an attorney with experience in consumer law and FDCPA litigation.

    In September 2008 I was getting called from Northland Group 952-831-2103 and other calls I did not know. I just started monitoring my phone calls and checking them on the internet. There were 4 collection agencies calling me at the same time including Northland Group. I never answered and they only called 3 times. The ones I answered were calling me almost everyday and the more I talked to them the more they called asking for someone that didn't live here. I called AT&T to complain they recommended to change my phone number. After changing the AT&T call I answered right away and AT&T told me the phone was working. 2 days later the phone rang I picked up right away 888-274-9847 toll free. I found (Mrs Associates) a collection agency on the internet, a recording told me to stay on the line after 3 time I hung up and then the calls started. After 18 calls in 25 days, I called back and told them that "I know who you are" I just got this new phone, and asked why they were calling me? He asked me if I knew this person they were looking for, I told them that the telephone company did not tell me who had this phone number before. I haven't heard from 888-274-9847 again but been getting calls from cellular call with my area code that I don't know I don't answer. I haven't given my family my new phone number just to my doctor and my bank I just email my family. I always pay my bills on time. I check my credit report in June 2008 Collect America (collection agency) had placed an inquiry on my credit report I wrote to them to remove it, no respond from Collect America.

    When you change your phone number due to this type of harassment, be sure to get an unlisted number.

    As for Collect America, you may want to take a more agressive approach with them.  Complaints on Bud Hibbs' site indicate a fairly high rate of suing erroneously, including either lawsuits or arbitration proceedings with no notice to the consumer resulting in default wins.  An inquiry on your credit reports may be an indication that they, or one of their local attorneys, is about to pull something.

    http://www.budhibbs.com/debtcollectorpages/collect_america_cacv.htm

    No creditor or debt collector can legally pull your credit report (resulting in an inquiry) without permissible purpose, as defined in the FCRA.  If you do not owe them some alleged debt they are collecting on, or if they pulled your report instead of the debtor's report, then their inquiry is a violation of FCRA.  More important, it may preceed other action, including putting negative information on your credit reports, or filing a lawsuit.  Look for erroneous addresses showing up, which could indicate they are putting someone else's bad debt on your reports.

    They keep calling no matter what you say. There are five different phone numbers they use. One number is Unknown Caller. I have figured out a way to get them back.
