Android has call blockers they work great

This company calls my house 10 to 15 times a day. When they can't reach me at home the contact my cellular number. I have no clue as to how to be rid of these individuals. Can anyone help me.

awesome.  why didn't i think of that?

That could be violation of the Federal Debt Collection Act (FDCA) and probably your state debt collection act as well.

They have called 6 times since 9am & its noon. They wont leave a message. Just keep hanging up & calling back.

The best thing I can suggest is to change your cell phone number. I suggest you use Boost Mobile Prepaid because it's cheap, and you can give them any bogus, made-up name you want. George Washington, Barack Obama, Bill Gates, whatever. Boost doesn't care in the least. You also don't have to provide any address. Using a bogus name and providing no address makes it practically impossible for bill collectors to get your cell number.Then go to Radio Shack, 7-11, or any number of other retail outlets and buy a Magic Jack. The Magic Jack costs something like thirty bucks and includes a free year of telephone service. The service quality varies from adequate to horrid, but it doesn't matter for our purposes. You will need a broadband Internet connection, however.Get the Magic Jack, register it and get a phone number, and plug a phone into it. Then call ALL of your creditors, as well as anyone else you don't care to be bothered by (banks in general, the IRS and other government agencies, department stores, your ex-spouse, etc.) and give them the Magic Jack number, and tell them that none of the other numbers they may have are valid anymore.Then unplug the Magic Jack (or unplug the phone from it) and let all those calls go to voice mail forever.Just remember: Any time you do want to call your creditors or other pains in the a$$, make sure you use the Magic Jack phone so that number shows up on their caller ID.

My dilema is I have a phone number from t-mobile that didn't pay her bills so they kept calling me. I have noticed that the company calls 2-3 times from one number then suddenly a new number is calling me. I wish I could do the silent tone trick, because that is a neat idea, but it won't work if they're switching numbers. In these times when Caller ID is the norm it should flat out be illegal to call a number and not leave a voicemail stating your business.

Buy "call block" from your phone company.  Also get "anonymous call reject," which may be activated and deactivated, usually with three key strokes on your phone.  With anonymous call reject,  there will be a special number, called "privacy director," which you will also want to block as well, because many of these types will announce their name and number, but that doesn't mean you will want to hear the phone ring over and over.  Any rep from your phone company should be able to explain these features to you.  Call block will generally let you store up to eight numbers (it's time for the phone company to extend this number). You have to be at the phone when it rings, however, because the feature will not allow you to automatically add the latest number (if out of area), once you receive another call from a different caller.  But if you're home (and many are) when the phone rings, you will be able to capture them immediately after the call completes.  Many times, the same collectors will call up to 3x a day (legally), giving you several chances to capture and block.  On any given day (usually Monday), several of these collectors will call, thus giving you an opportunity to block many calls in a one-day period.    So, just remember, that because you got into financial trouble, doesn't mean you have to put up with the annoyance of these repeated calls.

This company nicely offered to take over payments with my Banana Republic account and I would pay them 50.00 a month. This would get my account current and I would have no late or over limit fees if I didn't use the card. I agreed. They automatically withdraw the 50.00 each month from my checking. I still receive bills from BR with late fees for not paying the full amount due. I do not recommend anyone going with this company for debt collections. Instead try and work out something with the company holding the credit card.

I recorded a ringtone with nothing on it ( Silent) them used the custom ringtone feture on my phone now it doesnt vibrate or make a sound when these pains call

TIP: What I have done is change my incoming ring tone to low chords so I know that however is calling is not in my address book, as those numbers all have a different louder ringtone. Now I don't hurry to answer an unwanted call. Found that easier than saving all those annoying calls.

call all the time 10 - 15 times per day.  Harrass and threaten very exhausting.

Too many calls, and too close together.  I pay for my phone line and want to use it for my own purposes.

NCO Financial debt collectors.

HERE'S A TIP: For annoying frequent calls (ie debt collectors) to your cell phone you could save the numbers that call and assign them a unique ringer ID to ring as 'Silent'. So you'll get the call but it won't ring your phone and bother you. Then instead of getting annoyed or frustrated you can just laugh. Sure it seems they call from a million numbers but after a week or two you'll have them all saved and silenced. (ps. I ran into an old Nokia phone with no Silent setting so possibly you could just create your own ringtone with just of couple "pauses".)
