Harassing Collection Calls
Complaint
Sharon Marsh
Country: United States
I am not sure that this is the name of the company because it is very difficult to understand the name of the company. This company has called me 2 times and left 15 minutes of messages on my answering machine. He repeats his name (which I cannot understand) and his phone number over and over again for 15 minutes.........I called them back the first time approximately a month ago and told him do not call again, and today I received the same 15 minute message. He is not calling for me, but and I am not going to put up with the harassment. The phone number that he give to call back is 1-800 -335-0872. I DO NOT WANT ANYMORE COLLECTION CALLS. I HAVE GOOD CREDIT AND I DO NOT CARE WHO HE IS CALLING FOR HE HAS NO RIGHT TO CONTINUE TO CALL AND HARASS ME! Please let me know what else I can do to get him to stop!

Does that comment really pertain to anything discussed here?
Clearly your insult doesn't bother or hurt me in any way.
I'll type however I feel like typing, it's not offensive. My caps lock is
on, it's staying that way. If you, personally don't like it, don't read my posts.
Thanks
Again,
if they informed us we were calling a wrong #, and didn't just hang up without saying anything, the number is removed.
You're trying to fuel a fire that isn't necessary. Tell these people the truth, if you get a call for an incorrect party, inform the caller, regardless of what company they are calling from.
I get calls from other agencies for people I don't know on my cell and home phones. But I calmly tell the party, "I'm sorry, I don't know that person, please remove my number."
All it takes is a 30 second conversation to end the problem.
FDCPA allows courts to aware damages AND attorney fees, so you can find attorneys who take these cases on contingency. File a complaint with FTC, and then find an attorney.
You can find a consumer attorney in your state through www.naca.net
It just undermines your credibility, just like a loudmouthed boor.
Calling me a loud mouth "boor" wasn't necessary.
Just because in the text world caps lock on is considered yelling, doesn't mean that's what I'm doing.
If you must know, when I am home working on some of the programs I have, for editing, it requires me to keep caps lock on, so I just leave it on.
Not all collectors are rude, abrasive and ignorant. I'd appreciate not being lumped in with them.
Clearly, I'm well spoken and not an idiot. So let's leave personal attacks out of this conversation. Thank you
I'm insulted by the assumption that I'm uncultured, uneducated or low class.
You don't know me, and this line of work wasn't my first choice. I'm sorry that the job market took a plunge a few years ago, and I'm in the position where I have to pay bills and put food on the table.
In keeping this job that was available to me, when the job market I went to school for dried up, I am debt free and living in my own home.
So we aren't all a disgrace to society. I am just happy to have a job and regular paycheck.
There is a spectrum of debt collection behavior that runs all the way from professional compliance to criminal fraudulent activity.
My primary concern is the apparent tolerance of questionable harassment, abuse, and deception by the debt collection industry, as if it is their God-given right.
Apparent robocall harassment is not merely an annoyance, as it commonly shows up in concert with active deception and abuse by collection agency employees. Harassment and abuse are tactics associated with deception, as they assist and complement actual but "deniable" deceptive tactics. This leads to consumer losses due to fraud.
Not all have been so fortunate. Some have lost jobs, family, homes, and even more due to truly unfortunate things outside of their control. To be lumped into your, "DISGRACE TO SOCIETY" is saddening, but it is how I think the majority of you in this line of work think. I base this on the multiple conversations I've had with your colleagues (maybe even you).
So keep calling, you can't draw blood from a turnip no matter how hard to squeeze.
Reading is fundamental.
ALL CAPS is the equivalent of YELLING on the internet, and is as rude as the harassing phone calls from MRS Associates.
I am not in debt but suddenly have been getting harassing phone calls from MRS Associates for someone with my same last name, but different first name although same initial.
Despite telling them I am not that person, as well as going along with them machine telling them it's not me they continue to call and they refuse to tell me what company it is, why they are calling, and a couple of them have been downright nasty.
In trying to find out who is behind this, I found this:
calls came from from a couple of caller ID's including (201)399-4579 Englewood, NJ and (516)881-7756 - and this (516) phone number has the caller ID of:
Leon Kucherovsk
upon Googling, here is the contact info for:
Leon Kucherovsky, ESQ (website specializes in debt collection...)
115 S Corona Ave,
Valley Stream, NY 11580
Phone:(516) 881-7755
Fax: (516) 881-7745
a [previous?] address listed on the same Website for Leon Kucherovsky, ESQ
lists the address as (and is also shown on their website map under the contact us page, even though the typed address says the valley stream address...) :
212 W. 35th St, 2nd Fl
New York, NY
212-564-5005 gets to same outgoing message (obviously one is forwarded to the other)
Just sayin' in case anyone wants to reciprocate the love by calling or faxing - hey why not stop by and occupy?! I'm sure like me you need an outlet for your frustration now that corporations are people and all that.
Good luck!
Your use of the abbreviations ACCT, ROD, and PYMTS is extremely unprofessional.
You need to brush up on when you use a comma, and when to use a period.
Since your replies throughout this forum imply that you are an employee of MRS Associates Inc., we can all assume that the attitude one reads in your messages, is the same attitude you will use with any client on the phone (By the way, that attitude is equivalent to that of a 13 year old teen girl who’s just been punched in the face by puberty and wants revenge). Of course no one wants to deal with you. You're an ass.
