Collection agencies call my house DAILY to find a person that I supposed used to have my phone number (we've had our current phone number for about a year now). When I answer the phone, I only get a recording that will not let me speak to someone without the SS# of the person they are calling for. I've tried calling the # back, but again I cannot get far without the SS# of the person they are calling for! How do I get these calls to stop?

Keep track of the days and times they're calling, for a week or so, then call your phone company. They will be able to find out where the calls are coming from and will send a letter to the company.
Or, try getting a "telezapper." They work pretty well.

This is real simple- tell them to remove your number. Explain it and they'll take your number off, usually right over the phone. If they don't get an address and write them. I just got cable phone and some lady owed everybody money, including a vet's office. Every single creditor removed me and hasn't called back.

You can get call screening that will make the caller ID who they are and you can pre-program the service to automatically block or send certain numbers to voicemail, so when this number calls, the service will take care of it and your phone will never even ring. (Talk to your local phone compny service may not be available in all areas) In which case you should just change your phone number.

sequence agencies are like bull terriers. while they get their the teeth into something they do no longer permit bypass. and that they do no longer care interior the least approximately being well mannered, or courteous or considerate. they are going to save calling your make sure's abode and that they are going to hound you at paintings in the event that they discover out the place you're working. in case you do no longer choose them to understand the place your economic business enterprise account is, or to have get right of entry to to it, deliver them a money order in in spite of volume you decide on. That way you have a record of charge and that they could't song down your economic business enterprise account. they could upload expenses, yet that relies upon on the contract you signed with them. meanwhile, save sending them money orders and tell them you will lay harassment expenses in the event that they do no longer quit bothering your mothers and dads.

Have the number blocked. If you actually talk to them, get the name of the company (and the name of the rep calling) and report them. myfairdebt.com

Block the numbers that are calling you. Unfortunately, you have to pay for this feature.

Kaligirl is correct. I had SAME problem. The phone co wants you to jot down each and every time they call, exactly what time and date....then present it to them. They will track it down.
