usagi555 Posted December 4, 2015 Report Share Posted December 4, 2015 Does anybody know anything about a presumed collection agency that shows up on the caller ID, sometimes under the name /conn's/ and other times under conn's? I've been getting a call from them about every other day, and I haven't been answering. Finally, today, somebody else picked up the phone, and said that the woman on the other end was rude and asking for somebody who doesn't live here. I sniffed around, based on the numbers that had been calling, and a few people were saying that this particular group is somehow related to Allied Interstate, and the call smacked of skip tracing. Part of why I think this is a debt collector is the rudeness, followed up by admonishing the use of the word "damned" with the woman who had called saying "you don't need to use that tone with me," i.e. somebody trying to assert authority. I'm not too worried about it, as I'm pretty sure that I'm WebRecon, and they're asking for somebody that I don't even know. If they call back, I'll pick up this time, and if you're lucky, I'll remember to record it, and I do plan on being abusive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clydesmom Posted December 4, 2015 Report Share Posted December 4, 2015 If it isn't your debt then simply Google the collection agency and send a cease and desist all contact letter to them certified mail return receipt. Or you can answer the phone and simply ask for their mailing address to send the letter to. Then if they don't stop calling: SUE THEM.

Besides, I was told that the filing fees for Federal went up to $500. I got sued by Citi a few years ago, kicked their asses in court, netted a dismissal with prejudice, then got sent back to collections. This is nothing, and I'll be happy with being abusive on the phone. Which collection agency it is, or if it is in house is what I don't know and was hoping somebody had some info.

It may not be a collection agency at all. It could be the collections department for the Conn's store itself. It could also be that it isn't Conn's or their agent at all and the number is being spoofed to induce someone to answer the phone. Unless you actually speak to them you aren't going to know for sure. Since you don't owe them any money you have nothing to lose by answering the call. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BV80 Posted December 4, 2015 Report Share Posted December 4, 2015 @usagi555 I agree with @Clydesmom. Talk to the caller yourself and get some details. If you don't have any outstanding debts that are within the SOL, then you can have some fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I do record the next call, it will be NSFW x 9001 though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doing a google search and actually trying to find who/what the calls are about are too much of a hassle, but posting all about it here and creating "NSFW" recordings when they call are? Essentially, just wanted to waste everyone's time here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
