Bay Area Collections These lunatics are driving me absolutely insane!!! Atlanta Georgia

I have recently had to deal with this same issue. I found out that the company is located near Philidelphia, PA, and is known to call numbers not only more than once per day, but also without prior confirmation as to weather they have the correct number. In my case they were calling my number trying to use strong arm tactics to collect a debt from someone I don't even know. I had to locate the company name because they would not even tell me who they were or who they represented, but it is very easy to locate them by way of the number they called from. I then found out that they do have a website, that will allow you to contact them through email, and tell them to stop calling. This is what I did to get them to stop, and I have yet to get a call from them again.

It has gone away right now, but that debt is still out there somewhere. You may want to start researching where it came from and seeing if you can resolve it before they sell it to another agency.

Thanks for the advice. I'll definitely take it.

So far I haven't gotten another phone call today, but then again I don't want to speak too soon. lol

Okay, you need to send them a certified cease and desist letter. There are many websites out there that have them available for printout. This is the only way to stop the phone calls.

Under the fair debt collection act they can only call you once a day, but that only counts if they talk to you. If you ignore the call or let it go to voice mail, they can keep calling until they speak with a person.

You state the company is "bay area collections" but filed this under telemarketers? Which is it? If they are a collection agency they are not bound by the state or federal do not call list, a telemarketer would be.

If its a collection agency have you requested validation of the debt to see if it is indeed a debt you owe?
