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!

    Since you had to point out spelling errors... "its" is spelled "it's", by "reate" I assume you meant "rate", and "yea" is typically correctly spelled "yeah".

    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.

    If you are being harassed by "erroneous" calls from an attorney/debt collector, you have not only the lawsuit remedies of FDCPA, but you can file a complaint with his state bar.

    Look i took a phonne out under my name for my mother-in-law and she failed to let me know she decided not to pay the bill cause she couldnt or didnt want to ok MYBAD should have never done that MRS called me I told them my plan to pay bill which was through 2 $200 payments in 1 month the agent said great took that note and told me till the bill was paid I will still recieve calls and the also was willing to settle a $800  bill for $400 that is great and the bill is payed and no more calls so this is to all you slackers,tools,lazy,ungrateful,people if the shoe fits just PAY the [***] bill you made the debt not MRS accosiates or the company you got that damn 60" TV you had to have the best way to be debt free is to only buy what you can afford with cash also everyone should take a look at there debt to income ratio that might help to let you know what you can afford

    Or your just another MRS troll.
    Your story is just to "perfect".

    Have you considered writing fiction?
    Don't bother, it's also too dull.

    I received call Friday - didn't know the number so I don't answer.  Then I come and look it up on this site.  (I LOVE THIS SITE!!!  THANK YOU!!!)  Anyway, it was a call for MRS collections but number was not found on site so am adding it.  I also get calls for my husbands debt and we are going through a divorce.  Note the number - MRS must have several different numbers.

    Number was out of Belmont, NC  704-461-1391.

    THE $$ COLLECTOR
    To all you idiots out there that just want to run your mouth about MRS or any other collections agency.  1st if you would have paid your bill to begin with you wouldnt have to worry about the calls.2nd does the "collection" buisness have a bad rap of course because there are idiots in this field just like there are idiots in the contruction, banking or even police stations.  3rd if when your contacted you actually act like a decent citizen and want to work something out on your bill 90% of the collectors out there will work with you.  Its when you act like an animal and act as tho the collector is the one that ran up the bill or charged the high a$$ % rate.  And to the biggest idiot that made mention above about if a 3rd party agency is calling the debt is sold YOUR WRONG and with that mental capcity you probably cant even card a charge card and Mcdonalds.  So again before you go blaming the collectors realize they have bills as well and if treated as a HUMAN you will more then likely get the same.... Again there are those few idiots as in any industry... >>> oh yea and for the ho HS diploma comment I clear 75k to 100k per year.. :) eat me

      "$75k to $100k"!  Great if you live in Podunk, USA.

      In Silicon Valley, you could rent a studio apartment!
      Save money, go in with an illegal immigrant on a remodeled garage!
      You could even get a second job, hanging out at Home Depot!

      You are upset that the people you call are not polite, but your own peers created this problem.
      When debt collectors call and threaten on faked "debt", you can't expect decency anymore.

    A FOOL
    I dont agree with the fact that as soon as you give a car BACK..... You still have to pay for it. Well, thats life.  I Lost my job and was forced to give my truck back.....   I paid 25 for it and all of a sudden I owe a balance of 20 on it..... KISS MY Effen A$$.  You people arent getting a red frickin cent. If youd have sold the damn thing for at least 15 Maybe I would pay the ten left over but Hell with selling a RAM 350 for 5 grand and telling me I owe the balance.....   I gave it back [***] I owe you NOTHING!!   MRS....   Good Luck with that.

    This company calls me at work over and over and over, and it is NOT MY DEBT.  I have a very common name, I am not the person they are looking for, but they continue to call, up to 10x a day.  Some of you say the auto dialer won't allow that, but I have the call logs to prove they are calling this many times.  I have asked them to stop calling, they continue to call.  They also talk to my coworkers and secretary.  I have filed complaints with the FTC and attorney general.  What else can I do?

      Get an attorney and sue them for violations of FDCPA.  Congress intended that this law would be enforced by both federal and state regulators and consumer attorneys.  Since FDCPA allows courts to award damages and attorney fees if you win, you can find attorneys who take these cases on contingency.

      You can find a consumer attorney in your state through www.naca.net

    on the contrary the employess and the cmpny follow the rules more than any other  collectin agency ou there.  for the most prt and prbably a little more the employees follow all the fdpca rules  and are very nice .  all i can say to all out there is that if you owe a bill do not be nasty about it  just verify the information and let them know your situation and tell them you do not want calls or just work something out --do not be screening calls or pretend that you r not you -- because they are a collection agency and they are now tryng to help. dont give them a hard time and be vulgar because that wil not solve anything --for the most part they do not buy debts --most of the files are placed not bought --big difference there ! so if you get a call be professional an deal with the situation --the longer you wait the worse things get!!

      You must be joking.

      The one common thread running through your complaints, going back years, is that you keep calling and harassing the wrong people, and somehow you just can't stop.  That's not following "all the FDCPA rules".

      And you are right, that collection agencies handling placed rather than cheaply bought "junk debt", are probably more compliant.

      There are worse.  Your industry's standards for membership aren't real high.  You can find real low-lifes who call pretending to be "process servers", "attorneys", or even "with the DA", demanding payment on faked "debt".   At least you don't do that.

      Problem is, your industry doesn't exactly act to raise its dismal standards, either.  Even the better companies don't want much accountability for deceptive collection, or like here, for phone harassment, that you blame on the people you are harassing.  Supposedly they just didn't answer and tell you to stop, but post after post is reporting that telling you to stop MAKES NO DIFFERENCE!

      You Mrs employee from India or new Jersey... You want some company and people to talk to.  That's why you do collections. You don't chase people with real debt
