Nuisance call

Nuisance call

The number has called me twice a day everyday (even on the weekends) since September of 2022 until now (December). I have never answered as when I have been unavailable, the voicemail left is just noise and zero information. Definitely a scam robo call!

This is a scammer trying to get you to pay to someone on line for a so called debt. I don't owe anyone any money so obviously this is a ************* scammer.

This caller is not a spammer. It is an insurance company

Called a cell phone that is only given to family but I HAVE NO DEBT!!!!!This smells of a shakedown scam!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey sorry to bother you. Trying to reach Xxxx xxxx who owns or know the owners of land xxxx in Xxxxxx. Is this the right number?

Looking for a property owner

The text said they were looking for Wanda Brineger from Houston Texas about property #0 in Houston I’ve had this person text 3 times

They texted my mother asking about my house. How they got her number and associated to my property, I have no idea. My wife called and they said they were looking to buy property, and she asked to be removed from their list. Shortly afterwards, I got a text from a different number asking the same thing as the message to my mother.

Asked me to verify my name and verified my address. The text asked me to confirm what they had

Inquiry as to someones property in Trinity, Tx. They had someones name involved, and Id like to know who asked the question as they would not say.

Calling for no reason. I don’t know who this company is.

block this number

No message

Debt collectors

Bogus debt collection

Vacuum cleaner sales

Spam !!!

I returned the call. The caller did not leave a message.The operator that answered the phone said she didn't call and put me through to the voice mail of the person that she says did. I advised to to take me off of there list, that there is no items in collection and that I am reporting them.

They were asking for a person named "Jacklyn Kelly", have no idea who that is and why they were asking. It was a womans voice.

Called my number but did not leave a message.

Yes definetly spam

LaToya Mitchell ext 3778 United Recovery Houston TX.

Got a call at 9:51am from "Samantha Beck" at "United Recovery Systems" urging me to call her back at (866) 582-4085 x9290. She claims to be a "debt collector." A BOGUS DEBT COLLECTOR!!! No other info, no other names. She seems to be PHISHING. This is IDENTITY THEFT and is FRAUD and EXTORTION. Anyone wanna go in on a class-action lawsuit??? Already contacted the BBB to document. Now onto the CFPB, the FTC, the FBI and ATTORNEY GENERAL

They offer you a loan and then they ask you for money for the process of paper work after then you send it the ask you for more money for a security deposit after you sent it they ask you to send more money for taxes

This is a registered debt collection company, however, their calling practices and information collections practices clearly violate the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. If they call you, whether you owe a debt or not, do not give them your information if they won't tell you what the debt is for.

A pesky debt collector, using a local Houston number, requesting a callback to an 866 number! Blocked!

Yes

Debt collector

Spent one hour in emergency room and got IV drip and no cutting. My blood pressure was high. They sent me a bill for $10,400.00.

called my cell (which I have on the do not call list). saw it was a number from Texas and didn't answer...from the comments on here, I don't think I'll be returning the call.

Sleazeball monday telemarketer

Sleazeball monday telemarketer

Very rude when they call.

SPAM

Just started yesterday... I guess I see what I have to look forward to

Ugh...getting annoying

Same here, James.

They keep calling and calling and calling and calling, need I say more. They never leave a message, and I do not answer unknown calls! I think they need a much higher "Spammer Score" as is should be more than 0%

I hate these guys! I get a message from them every day asking for me to call back. Does anyone know how to report them?

Yea, this lady called my office and wanted to speak to one of my workers that wasn't available at the time. I asked if she wanted to leave a message and she become outraged on the phone. She wanted to speak to a supervisor...I told her that I was the one in charge for the day and she wanted to speak to someone else. I then told her that she was out of luck, the only person she would be talking to was me! I asked her again if she wanted to leave a number, then she said "NO, I'LL JUST CALL BACK", then I told her, well you do that and I'll talk to you again!!!She didn't leave her name or number, but the caller ID showed this number and she did mention that she was from Avante USA!!!After reading these messages, I am so looking forward for the return call!!!!   I can't wait!!!!

This #  (Avante) calls 3-4 times a day for a person who they have been told over and over again does not live here.

They call everyday. 'SCUMBAGS. I believe its a ploy to waste phone mins. It is in my case anyway.Those basta#@d need to be stopped.

Yea I just got the call from the same person and left the same number and she sounded like she said she was from Binder resolutions and said she needs to hear from me.  I never heard of them before. The number that showed up on my caller ID was 281-501-7354 but left the same number she left you.

I just had a phone call; my lucky message leaver was that Tom guy. Few people have my cell phone number so I never answer calls from numbers I do not recognize. I immediately googled the number and came to this page. Needless to say, I won't be returning the call. I would not have anyway, but certainly not after reading the info on this page.

After getting numerous calls from Tom JERKIN over the last few months, I called the number and was told he was not available. I just told them to relay this message to him. Tell him to "Go F### himself"!!Ahhh, I feel so much better now!

If Your the same Nancey Curl I remember, then it's probably one of your old boyfriends.                                         Signed: Steve Goen

stupid Tom Jenkin debt collector scam.  I ignore it & complaint this bull sh-it to the federal government watchdogs.  any1 know the list of places we can stop this Bull ?  this person is a criminal & should be stopped.

ignore it & complaint to the consumer protection watchdogs.  it's a scam.

Have been called twice from this number; 832-476-1739 The number they are calling is my cell  and I am on a do not call list. They never leave a message so after reading the comments dont think I want to call them back. Thanks for the info.

please call this number, urgent, ...blah, blah, blah...concerning your debt!

Just got a voicemail message from 832-476-1740 X618. The person identified herself as Ashlynn and said it was in regard to a very important matter regarding "yourself" and that I should call immediately.  I chose not to call, because if it was that important, they would have specified what the matter was, especially if it is urgent. She did not leave the name of the company itself.

Calls and hangs up when I call back I get the machine for Avanti USA

Yup ... 832-476-1740I fall into the "debts I never owed" category, and yet I've been getting these phone calls too.I just ignore them, because 1) they obviously don't have their facts straight, 2) they have NO legal authority, and 3) they can do nothing to me. I don't care if they can tarnish credit ratings either, because I'm in such good standing with the people who count on my timely payments in every day life, it doesn't matter. Still, it IS harassment, but complaining to the phone company is pointless.Thing is, I set my machine to intercept all incoming calls due to the onslaught of telemarketers anyway, so all these losers are doing is wasting their own time, resources and foul breath on me.

has called several times they call and disrespect you. talk down to you. automated recording "this is an attempt to collect" . you call and try to speak to them then they trafer you or put you on hold and never return...

They call twice everyday, automated recording "this is an attempt to collect"... The message is for someone who had this number before me. After speaking to several live agents, I told each one that this is a new number, wrong person. They would say ok, "delete" the number from the account. Next day, received a call from the same company just different number in regards to the same person. Called back raising hell at whomever answered, to no avail, they won't give up.

very rude and nasty. has called several times. trying to collect debt on something i dont have. filed complaint with FTC.gov

Asked for someone at our office, the man didn't know who it was so I asked what it was regarding and she told me she was not telling me, and I asked her again and she said she wasn't going to disclose that information to me and then I told her that our employee didn't know who she was so she got mad and hung up on me. She was very very rude.

This stupid lady named Ms. Jackson continues to call my home asking for my husband claiming that he owed a school loan from over 9 years ago. My husband has no clue what she is talking about and we have asked her nicely to send a bill so that we can review what they are claiming. She refuses to even hear us out and continues to call and be so unprofessinal I even spoke with a manager and himself as well was very low class. They call here from different numbers all the time now and even one of the names on my caller id say souhtwest and it's them. Something needs to be done about this company they are not proffesional and have a really bad report with the BBB.

Keep calling for my son that dosent live here which I have told them to not call

calling looking for a weird/sounds like a make up name request to call her back, the caller last name is johnson

I get messages to call this, but they don't say who they want or what they are calling for. When I call back - it goes to an automated system saying to leave info for them to call back again. Right.

prerecorded message to call for a debt. No debt is owed.  This is the 2nd call in 2 days. The message does not say who they are calling for. The number they want you to call is 832-476-1740.

WILL NOT STOP CALLING AT WORK. INAPPROPRIATE LANGUAGE AND TONE USED.

They call several times a week telling me to call them back about a serious debt matter. Well, if it was really that serious, why do I have to call back? Sounds like a scam to me. The sad thing is that they keep calling and using up my minutes on my cell phone and wasting my time. They need to be stopped.

They call atleast several times a week with a debt collection recording.They need to be stopped!!!!

I called Avante and found out that they are trying to collect a bill from 1995!!!  This is called Zombie Debt.  I found the following info on the web but YOU SHOULD GOOGLE ZOMBIE DEBT FOR MORE INFORMATION TO MAKE SURE YOU ARE NOT A VICTIM.  The most important thing is never admit to owing or pay a bill that is past the statue of limitations, and check your credit report.  Some of these companies will put the debt back on your report. Just don't engage in conversations with these agencies."You may have to kill old debts that resurrect and come back to life. Zombie debt may include past debts that you owe, charged-off debt, debt included in bankruptcy, debt you may have never owed and even debts incurred due to identity theft. Zombie debt involves collection agencies purchasing debts for pennies on the dollar that original creditors have written off as bad debt and often times the statute of limitations has already run.Debt buying has emerged into a multi-billion dollar industry in the past several years and from the looks of it, the industry will only continue to expand. Junk debt buyers can be small businesses to large, publicly traded Wallstreet companies and the characters involved in this lucrative business are banking on the consumer not knowing their rights. If you are contacted about an old debt or debt you are unaware of here are a few things you can do:1. Do not acknowledge you owe the debt. Simply acknowledging the debt or agreeing to pay a portion of the debt can ruin your credit. Negative marks can stay on your credit for up to 7 years. By paying a portion of that debt you restart the 7 year clock. If you are nearing the 7 year mark it may be best to do nothing at all. Let it drop from your credit reports.2. Ignore the phone calls completely. Talking to them may open up a can of worms. Speaking with debt collectors may end up restarting or extending the statute of limitations on the debt in addition to restarting the time period a negative mark can stay on your credit. Remember, if the statute of limitations has run on a debt you cannot be sued for that debt.3. Stop the calls. If the telephone calls continue, immediately write a letter, certified, return receipt, demanding the collection agency cease all telephonic contact with you. Make sure you clearly state in the letter that you do not agree you owe the debt nor are you acknowledging you owe the debt. Federal law dictates collection agencies must comply when you request they do not contact you via telephone.4. Check your credit reports. Collection agencies will often stoop to low, illegal tactics to try to get you to pay a debt. Watch out for re-aging of the old debt on your credit reports. The collection agencies will report the old debt to the credit bureaus as a new debt and try to extend the seven-year reporting limit on negative items. Remember, negative items such as late payments and charge-offs can only be reported on your credit report for 7 years. Bankruptcies can be reported for 10 years unpaid tax liens can stay up to 15 years.5. Debt Validation. Request the collection agency validate the debt. Debt validation forces the debt collector to produce a copy of the original signed contract such as the credit card agreement and the account history of the debt. They cannot simply produce some printed copy of their bill or invoice, it must be from the original creditor. Also, request proof they are licensed in your State to perform debt collection. If the collection agency cannot produce proof you owe the debt, they are violating the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and can be sued. And, any negative entry they reported to the credit bureaus regarding this debt must be removed from your credit reports.6. Negotiate cautiously. If you want to pay the debt, be very careful in your negotiations and get everything in writing. Remember the collection agencies purchased the debt for pennies on the dollar so anything you offer over that amount is all profit. You want to proceed with negation with intense caution because collection agencies are tricky. Debt collectors may settle for a smaller amount then turn around and sell the remaining debt to another collection agency or even worse, the collection agency could report the remainder of the debt to the IRS as "income".7. False promises by the collection agency. Not surprisingly, some debt collectors use dirty, underhanded tactics to collect debt. Many simply lie to the consumer and promise to remove negative credit entries in exchange for payment. Know your rights and get everything in writing. Always negotiate a full deletion of any and all negative entries reported on your credit report of this debt. Cover your bases and make sure the debt collector is not going to sell the unpaid portion of the debt to another company.

For the past 2 days I have got 2 calls from Avante u.s.a.I am not home or not picking up the calls.I called late night and requested them to not call me again as I am on the attorney general's do not call list.Let us see the result.

Left message saying I have an outstanding account that needs attention. I have no outstanding debts.

this people should be stopped by the way they call people and act as if the power to kill is in their hands,so rude and unproffessional.if they think this is how to make money they lied.

An automated recording is calling my cell phone and saying that I have unpaid debt. I do not give my cell number to anyone so i dont know where they would have gotten my information. I do not owe any debt.

I received a call from this number on my cell phone.  I am current on any payment I have and there is no reason for a debt collector to be calling me.  I from time-to-time get calls at the same number and on my home phone for people that I have never heard from.  I have never been able to reach a live person when attempting to call 832-476-1739 back.  The authorities need to find out who the person or persons are that are making these calls and prosecute them.

Message call back

We got a call from this number and said that it was a debt collector. After reading all this information we are not calling back. I know we dont own any money and we have access 24/7 to our credit report.

This company called my fiance today. He answered the phone but when he did it just said to call back their number. He called and left a message. He has not received a call back yet! He has no debt! We just ran his credit report recently to make sure everything has been cleared up and it has!

An automated recording is calling my cell phone and saying that I have unpaid debt. I do not give my cell number to anyone so i dont know where they would have gotten my information. I do not owe any debt.

The message on my machine says, "This is Tom Jenkins debt collector "Loser. What a poor way to try to make money.

call any hour and stop stating purpose of call

Stating we owe a dept. Somthing from about 7 years ago. Very harrasing and threatening!! Do not know anything about this. If there is somthing to collect state it on paper and mail it!!

They called on 9/19/09 at 11:38 AM. I do not know this number and they do not leave a message.

I am listed with the do not call and have been for two years. These guys should be fined. ID says unavailable. Left a threatening message on my answering machine but no call back...like I would call back. After reading the other comments I think this is a scammer trying to take advantage of the gullible.

A rude"Marcus" called asking for a person not even living at this address. When told that, he said,"If you are___ why don't you talk to me?" I told him to stop calling knowing they are scam artists; this is the third call from them (Avanti or Avante) from three different callers- Joanne, ___, and now Marcus. I have filed complaints each time with the Do Not Call Registry.

yeah this jerk face guy name Ray from Advante USA called my job. He was a complete A**hole. I wasn't there and he threated one of my co-workers!!!!

Called cell phone twice and hung up on me when I returned the call and asked to be taken off their phone list.

These people call at least once a day saying they are calling about an account that my husband has with "Citifinance"...We have NEVER had an account with "Citifinance" ever...I told the motherf***ers to never call us again and if they have a problem to send me the "original paperwork" for this so called "Citifinance" account....One more call and I will press charges on these bastards!!! At least they could put someone on the phone who can speak English so it don't sound like they got a mouth full of s**t!!!!

Claims to be someone collecting a debt, but does not say who they are representing or who they are calling for.

I need to block this

ask to have our number removed, as the number they were calling belongs to my teenage daughter. They hung up on me three times and were very rude. they wanted to talk to someone that doesnt live here.

Keep calling at least once a week and ask for somebody who does not even leave here. Very rude people... I am filing a complaint with Do Not Call Registry.

Trying to collect bogus medical charges from 3-4 years ago. Insurance Denies the charges as duplicates and previously paid invoices.

This company claims to be a bill collection agency called Avante USA.  I have already left one message with them, and have never received a call back or a bill notice from them.

They tell me is the debt collection agent, when i try to call back , they put me hold for 30 min, no reply. i didnt receive any letter from any collection agent.

They didn't even bother to have a real person call and leave me a nasty message. All I got was a recorded message saying "you have an unpaid debt... there will be consequences." I have only been living on my own for a few years and have only switched untilities once. I know all my balances and have no outstanding debts besides my mortgage, utilities, and cell phone - all of which i pay only and get e-bills for. If I had an outstanding balance I would have been contacted directly. I would suggest contacting the local authorities in Houston if they call you. Sounds similar to phishing to me for identity theft.

VERY VERY NASTY PEOPLE!! Extremely rude and said I probably let all my credit cards go into collection!!!!!!

Every day this number call me.

Tells me I have an outstanding debt. (I have no debt to anyone)

Angry voice on answering machine,demanding a return call.I don't answer ,never done business with them.MY personal affairs are in order.

This number is given when on my anserwing machine 3-4 times a day. Who are these people and what do they want. I just want them to quit calling me. Phone number: 1-832-476-1939 ext: 334

I just got this new phone number a few days ago and I got a call from this number. They left a message; didn't ask for me by name. All of my bills are current so this is baffling.

KEEPS LEAVING MESSAGES SAYING TO CALL THEM BUT LEAVES NO OTHER INFO

Keeps calling very rude people

calling my job and getting me very angry

Said they have an important problem I need to take care of but can't tell me what it is unless I give them my social security number. SCAM

Left a message at a job I no longer work for.  And have not worked for the last 5 years.  They keep harrassing the employees there.

Jessica Smith extension 610 is a RUDE collector. Will threaten to call your neighbors. Don't try to block your # using *67. It doesn't work. She will call you back.

They say they are collecting a debt but when asked for more specifics on the debt the cannot provide any documentation to support there claims. They keep calling and really need to stop unless they can provide documentation to support their claim.

Keep calling for someone I don't know

won't say why they're calling. constantly calling & very rude!

I called back and hung up on Reuben Gonzalez because I am ick and tired of getting this phone calls. The company wont do anything about it, the FTC wont do anything about it, and Im not paying Verizon to change my number because they should do it for free. I should not have to pay for text messages and have companies cold calling and clogging my voicemail since I have been on the National Registry's Do Not Call List for over a year now. So pretty much the List is useless if you aren't the owner of your cell phone number for your entire life. Apparently the idiot before me signed up for everything and anything with this number and now I have to pay the price. I am going to be a rude SOB to these people until they stop calling

These folks keep calling asking for someone not at our house. So, tonight, I started asking them questions, who they are, why ther're calling, etc...and they didn't like it and said they can only tell the person they were calling for. So, I told them to take my number off the call list and they caller got rude. I demanded to speak to her supervisor. Reuben Gonzalez got on and I told him doesn't get to call my house and ask questions w/o telling me the purpose of the call. he said this was the number the person had provided. I told him that I've told his company they had a wrong number before and to remove it. I told him to ensure it gets removed. He said he would.

This is their first time calling; I do not know who they are or why they are calling; I do not have debts other than rent, electricity, and telephone. Respectfully, BV

caller phoned and when I answered, she said "This *****". I asked her to repeat and she was very confrontational. I called back and that person ***g up. RUDE company with no hierarchy because I held 30 minutes for a supervisor but, no one ever came to the phone

They are just a bunch of rude a**holes who hang up on you and then when you call them back to see what they want they don't tell you everything unless you give them your information. What the hell for, they need to Identify themselves and why they are calling first before I give up any type of information.If anyone is interested here is there info:AvanteUSA, Ltd.2950 S. Gessner - Suite 265Houston, Texas 77063832-476-1740

Keep getting calls from this place .Do not know anything about them ,nor have I had any dealngs with them but they keek calling.

Constantly threatening with law suites and are very rude. I inform them that they need to mail and that there is suppose to be a 800 number if they are debt collectors.  They tell me that that can do whatever the H... they want and they will just keep harassing me

could not understand clearly,he talked too fast

I received two hang up calls in an hour with no messages. I called the number back until a representative answered (The first time I called I received a voice mall and the second time, immediately after the first, I got a person). It was supposed to be for my mother-in-law, who has never lived at this number. I told the person that and she said she didn't understand why I was receiving the automated "hang-up" calls as I was listed as a contact. So, the "hang-up"  is an automated thing, for whatever purpose that may serve. She was pleasant until I asked to be removed from the calling list and then she snapped "All right, all right, let me FIND it," by which she meant my number, apparently it was a difficult 1 second time consuming task...Then said that she would list me as calling back, she didn't say that I wouldn't be called again, and that was it. We'll see.

I also just rec'd a call and when I answered, they hung up.  What's with the fake telephone calls all the time?  I kept getting one from the Amer Heart Assoc. with different numbers and finally called them and asked to be removed.  Apprently the call registry doesn't work on so many of these fake clls.  But, I sure don't understand their efforts, especially when they hang up.

They call and hang up when I answer. Which is probably a good thing from what I'm reading in these comments. Jerks!

They call my house and when I pick up they ask for "?" I say they're not availabe. I ask to take a message and they say no, Then Avante gets crazy and say I know they are there where are they and give me there cell phone number or else. I tell them I don't give out numbers to strangers...do she know you and he says yes, it MARK ROSE!!! Know the hell she don't. These folks are absolutley crazy. When I spoke to a supavisior he denies his employee did anything wrong and I should have just gave him the cell number for who he ask for...WTF!!! They have called the wrong person.

This company keeps calling my home, but when I answer nobody answer me back.  I don't know who they are looking for or what they want.  How can I find out if noone will answer me.  I assumed they are looking for my husband and won't answer to a woman's voice, but when he answered they still did not answer back.  I guess I will just ignore their calls.

i keep getting calls from this number when i answer it they hang up i want it to stop I  don't owe a collection agency any money i am currently in a bankruptcy and i will contact my lawler and have it stopped with results being bad on there end

Constantly calls my paretns house in Kentucky saying I lived there, I have been at the same address for 22 years in Alaska.  Was very rude to my mother and when my mom hung up they called back and yelled at her.

i just got a call and didn't answer, because well, i NEVER do. i'm sick of collectors calling. yeah, i've gotta take care of my stuff, but i just can't right now. good thing i didn't answer...they wouldn't have been very happy. sounds like a scam and they definitely have some morons working for them...

3 years ago my girlfriend had an over due cell bill. She paid it off.3 Years later these people start calling her work, saying they want her new address, saying that she still owes for the exact thing she paid off (paid of "Sprint", and they have nothing to do with Sprint whatsoever).They say that we have to give them proof of having paid off the other item, or that they will NOT STOP calling. I tell them to go screw themselves and that I am not going to give them any of her info at all. It is identity theft.They call her at home, at her work, and her cell.We have filed an oficial report on them with out local police, and the FTC.gov.We are also working up a lawsuit against them for slander and identity theft. They have called her work and given out personal information to one of her managers, they harrass and continue to call even though asked not to, AND even though she lived in Texas 3 years ago, and we now live in Georgia, somehow they have managed to find her work, home, and cell number, which is illegal.I have also finally discovered their address through much work. Now I know where they are, so I can physyically walk into their building and talk to whoever runs the place, or just shoot them all, I dont know.2950 South Gessner, Houston TXHere is the google map linkhttp://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode ... iwloc=addr&om=1

someone just called my house from this company giving me information about a claim told me i opened a credit card in jan of 07 when i asked him to give me more information he hung up on me i called the number back and get the voicemail of someone different when i tried to get an operator it says one not found.

A few weeks have gone by...several more message left on home phone, which I simply delete. I could Block their #, but not worth paying the extra $ to phone company every month.  Then  today, another call to my office. I recognized the phone # right away so answered by just asking 'may I help you?'  The woman asked for me, and I told her 'I' was  not in, I asked to take a message, she got annoyed and asked for voicemail.  I transfered her to 'hold'. I've sent the cease & desist letters, they ignore them. They won't give me any detials, I'm not giving them any either.  Been there, done that...not playing their game any more.

Repeated calls, as evidenced by caller ID and answering machine, always looking for someone named Donald (no one by that name lives at our residence).  Tonight our daughter answered the phone, and gave it to me because she could not understand the caller.  I answered, explained no one lived here by that name, and he became very belligerent.  I directed him to never call our number again.  The FTC has been notified.

I've been called about ~30 times in the past 3 months by some firm in Texas, leaving messages saying that they are a collection agency, and that I MUST call back.  Since I KNOW I'm not in arrears on anything, I've ignroed them.  However, I got a new call, to a different number, simply asking me to call back.  I did: it was Avante ("Mrs George"), and got a recorder about calling back.  I then looked up the tell# on Google & found this website, explaining the scam or some-such via Avante.  BTW:  A credit-service check 3 weeks ago also shows me to be "squeaky clean", so Avante can just, well, I'll leave that unsaid:  YOU fill in the blank...

Two calls to my home in the past 2 fays, no name, no details, just voiemail recording, demaning I return the call. Now, 5 mins ago, I received a call at my 'office' from this #. The woman would not say if it was 'business relateed' (we can't take personal calls-recorded lines-finanical institution), but insisted on leaving her # to be called back. NOT!!!  Who are these jokers and don't they koe they cannot call your place of employment. They are about to be served with a nice Cease & Desist Notice.

Looking for someone who no longer works for our company. Continues to call

the person that called me was a MR.FORD he continusly yelled at me and when i asked for a supervisor he refused and continued with his rants . after i returned his attitude yet just breifly he changed his tone though it was very short lived. he was calling about a trailer home that was sent back over three years ago. i have not heard anything about this matter since then. the BBB will be called and if another call is received from this company i will file harrassment on them.

I received a call from this company Avante saying that I owe $900.00 on a old $200.00 sprint phone bill. I am currently not working and when I asked for her name, she hung up on me. I call back and asked for a superviser and I told her the same and she got rude with me when I asked for her name She said it was Amy Jay " what a fake name this IS"  Then she babble on and told me to goto walmart and get a job then she hung up. I think I will try and call the Better Business Bureau in Houston and file a complant. I really do not think that Avante is allowed to haress people no matter what their siduation is.

I received a call from Tracie Adams today representing Avante. She was informing me of a case # on a credit card. I am retired and don't have a credit card
