504-837-XXXX

This is a work phone number.

Commercial debt

Received a call from this number this afternoon asking for someone by my Mother's name. I stayed on hold for awhile and when a rep came on they asked for the number I was calling from. I informed them that THEY called ME and that they already had my number and that the person they were looking was not me. She, once again, asked for my phone #. When I refused to give it her response was "have a nice day".

What is this company for? They won't stop calling me.

its a collection service. you can call it a spam if the person is not you. try not to give your info but go to their local agent if you need to settle or make payment.

First, I would like to say that the purpose I decided to write about my experience with being called from (504)837-0116 is in attempt to warn, make aware, and hopefully protect anyone receiving calls from this number. I usually don't answer numbers that I don't know, as many people do... But, I was in an incredible amount of pain due to a physical illness and had just starting settling in from making it through a day of work(which can be particularly challenging for me.) So, both mentally and physically exhausted, I answered the call without really looking at the number. On the other end of the phone was a man who asked for me by my fist name. I asked who was calling and why they were calling. He gave me his name(which in the state I'm currently in escapes me, I apologize) and said he was "calling for collection," then asked if I was the person he had asked for. I said yes(as it was my first name, though he NEVER gave a last name) he then proceeded to tell me that I owed an astronomical amount of money to two different hospitals(if I do in fact owe anything to any hospitals, I'm quite confident they're no where near what he quoted and I am unaware of them, and if, in fact, there were any bills they would be from several, several years ago, all my current hospital bills I know for a fact are paid - but I went along with it just to see what he'd say) he asked me if I had received the notices in the mail. I told him I had received no such notices, to which he said he would have them sent out again(he recited my address, only the number and the street, not the city or parish or even the zip code I live in) I'd like to point out here that the man on the phone was EXTREMELY rude and almost violent in his tone of voice and this then got WORSE as he continued his inquires and lectures... He asked why I had not paid the bills, to which I calmly and honestly answered that I simply didn't have the money, I had been out of work for a very, very long period of time and now the two to three hour part time job I have doesn't even cover my cost of living. He began to go into some demoralizing rant about how those hospitals are not free, they're not charity hospitals and I should have gone to a charity hospital(And I'm putting that much nicer and in a much shorter way than was actually spoken to me on the phone, in actuality he went on for several minutes about it, talking to me like I was some low life, belittling me in any way he could.) I then told him that it wasn't like I could request where I was being taken while in an ambulance, they take you to the nearest hospital and that I wasn't even aware of any charity hospitals in my area. Then, he told me that the debts I supposedly owed were federal now and that I would be pursued. I again mentioned that I have no money. He then very snidely said that background checks had been done and they knew what I owned. At this point I actually had to laugh because I don't own anything and there is nothing in my bank account, which I told him. Might I also add, at this point, that I have had a handful of background checks done recently on me prior to his phone call, for jobs and other such instances, like volunteer work, credit checks, etc... None saying anything about what he was talking about. After my last comment to him about owning nothing and having no money, he responded with a sort of unsettling "you have a nice day"... And hung up. Did I appreciate the way I was talked to and treated on the phone, absolutely not. Did I like the fact that he told me I owed so much money and would be federally pursued, but not giving any further details, most certainly not. Did I let him get to me, anger me, or effect my mood... Absolutely not. Not that I couldn't see how angry other people get in the same situation from the harassment and treatment, I think those people are certainly justified in those emotions... I simply refused to give him the power to effect me. In fact, despite his behavior, had he stayed on the phone long enough, I'd have told him to have a nice day too - only I would have meant it. I'll wrap this up with a few words of advice(I am NOT a lawyer, this is just my own personal advice, things for you to consider.) 1)Know the statutes of limitation laws in your state. 2)Never agree to give your credit card number or pay by check over the phone to a collector. 3)Make sure the debt is valid 4)Be aware that making a "token payment" or an oral promise of payment may renew or reset the clock, or rather the time they're able to collect from you. 5)The statue of limitation starts the moment you sign a contract 6) Be aware of The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act which prohibits excessive phone calls to your home, and there are serious restrictions on calling third parties. For one, a third party may only be contacted if they are having trouble locating you. They cannot contact a neighbor, family member or your employer for the purpose of revealing that you owe a debt and shaming you to pay it.7) DO YOUR HOMEWORK!!! It would be very smart and in your best interest to not only reserech as much as you possibly can, but to also consult a lawyer, there are plenty of lawyers who will give you a free consultation. THIS PROVIDED YOU HAVE ANY REASON TO THINK YOU HAVE A DEBT - LET'S NOT FORGET DEBT COLLECTORS WILL LIE AND USE EVERY DIRTY TRICK THEY CAN THINK OF TO GET YOU TO PAY WHETHER YOU OWE MONEY OR NOT, DO NOT TAKE THEIR WORD FOR IT, INVESTIGATE FOR YOURSELF!

They just call n hang up

They are calling a number of Canadian business owners and pretending to be lawyers trying to collect on behalf of Ad-Ventures Publishing Inc. I have filed a complaint with the BBB and will be sending a copy of the phone call to the California Atorney Generals office to have them investigated for implying they are a legal firm. I will also be filing a complaint with the FCC.

It asks you to pay a bill and gives you the options to pay from the call. It does not tell you who you owe - no info other than you need to pay. If you choose the option to speak with a rep, it tells you "sorry, no one is available". What can one do. It is automated and calls come several times a day, weekend included. I have no idea who to contact about it or whether it is indeed a true bill. Sometimes it seems like a person makes the call because nothing is said, but most times it is automated.

Keep calling...and it's the wrong number...so then they started calling and hanging up

who knows?

 Collection agency for yellowbbook. Keeps calling my business even though they have NO license to collect a debt in my state. Doesn't care about laws concerning debt collectors even after a cease and desist letter and even after they were notified that they had to have a license in order to collect from a debtor in my state, it is the law.

Just received a call from this number asking for the owner (by name).  Said he was from C2C Resources.  When I asked what the call is regarding, he said well it's a sensitive issue and I don't know if he would like me talking to you about it.  I told him that the owner was in a meeting and then he asked for his voicemail.  I never put him into the voicemail.  I "googled" this number and found this site.  Caller ID:  C2C ResourcesNumber on ID:  504-837-0529
