I've been getting calls from this number for the past two months. I never pick it up and they never leave a voice mail. Decided to check the number on the internet and found this site

this company is what's called a "junk debt buyer" - basically the lowest of the debt collectors. they search for "dead" accounts such as defaulted credit cards and such where the original creditor has already written off the balance from their books and probably received a tax credit because of this. what they do is pay outrageously low amounts of money for the right to try to collect on these alleged debts. they use scare tactics and threats to try to get money from people. don't let them scare you.

They keep calling for Thomas Barron. I do NOT KNOW HIM! And have been ***g up on when I request to have them stop calling me. W***ver the***** Thomas Barron is call these **** people so they will leave me alone!! :)They are a collection agency of some sort: Here is the informationContact Merchants' Credit Guide Co.By PhoneIf you have received a letter from Merchants' Credit Guide, you may contact us by phone using the number listed on the letter.

Merchants' Credit Guide Co. 223 West Jackson Blvd, Suite 900 Chicago, IL 60606I finally called the corporate number and spoke with Mr. Kennedy which he seemed reasonable enough. I hope for their sake I get no more calls or a harrassment suit will be my next step with this company.

repeatedly from this number, annoying efforts to collect from a name that I do not know and a***n insulting repeating questions, "How long have I had this number? Who had it before me?" Insults.

This 'automated' phone call comes through about once every three to four months. They leave a long pause between questions...I think it is a scammer of some sort. I owe no one anything and the fact I was a credit fraud victim once before has taught me to use Experians Credit Watch service...They're clearly s*** bag's!

these people keep calling me, I have spoken to them twice and told them i do not agree that i owe this debt they are claiming from 2000, and they have basically told me i am a liar. I told them to send me verification of the debt because i completely dispute it, I have not received anything. The last time they called when i spoke to them, I a***n told them to verify the debt in writing with proof that i owe it because I have and continue to dispute it, he then said, so are you saying that someone stole your iden***y to create this debt?, I said I did not say anything of the kind, he said, yes you did, and from there it all went downhill with him being very nasty, until i finally ***g up. He tried to call me back, but i did not answer, and then this morning i got another call from them with the automated system, and i ***g up.

These people are total harassing ****s!  I called and told them to please take me off their list, and that I had been receiving these weird messages for like 6 months now for someone named "Chula Dodge" or so****ing, and the lady rudely said "you've been taken off the list!" and ***g up on me!  That doesn't sit well with me, so I called back and wanted to talk to a supervisor and surprise surprise they had me on hold for FOREVER!, So I called back and wanted to talk to a supervisor without being placed on hold, and had a huge argument with the lady working there in which she brought up my family and child, TOTALLY UNPROFESSIONAL!  I am so mad!  Obviously I wasn't taken off the list the first time other wise I wouldn't have still been receiving messages for this "Chula Dodge"!

I think it is a collection agency.  I think they called my number looking for one of my sons.

Don't call anymore....thank you!

They are MCG Merchant Collection

This company keeps calling for a "Mathew Smith" who I have no idea who the***** this person is but I have gotten calls for this idiot for the last 4 years.

The calls must be at random. My number is new and is not published. There is no way these guys could have gotten it. We owe absolutely ***ody. We're elderly and our house and everything else is paid off. But they are not the only scammers who call us. The only way any of them can call us is using block calling - a block of numbers in a range. If these people are caught they should be dealt with severely. Block calling should be highly illegal, but politicians and charities like to harass people using that ****od.

Had this message on my answering ma****e today:"This is a message for T**** D Lester.  If you are not T**** D Lester please **** up or disconnect.  If you are T**** D Lester please continue to listen to this message.  There will now be a three second pause in this message...  By continuing to listen to this message you acknowledge that you are T**** D Lester.  You should not listen to this message so that other people cab hear it as it contains personal and private information.  There will now be a three second pause in this message to allow you to listen to this message in private...  This is Stacy from merchants Credit Guide.  This communication is from the Debt Collector.  This is an attempt to collect a debt and any information obtained will be used for that purpose.  Please contact us about an important business matter at 888-249-4134.  Once a***n that number is 888-249-4134.  Thank you."1.  The statement that staying on the line after a three second pause acknowledges that you are the person they name is a bunch of s**t...  how, as in my case, is a ma****e supposed to know to disconnect?2.  Allowing three seconds to allow the person to listen in private is funny...  If I picked up the phone, would not the message be private anyway since the phone would be to my ear?3.  I have had this # for over four years now.  I receive calls several times a month from "financial" ins***utions looking for T**** Lester.  No matter how many times I tell the callers that I do not know the person and ask that my number be disassociated with Ms. Lester, the calls continue.

Caller ID was "Chicago, IL"... not the merchant credit guide company indicated by others here.  Voice mail message said "This call is for _______.  You have a 3 second pause to **** up if you are not _________.  The following message is private and contains confidential information for ________.  Please **** up if you are not _________.  We are a debt collection agency... "  blah blah blah.I haven't called back them.  They left the number 888-249-4134.

I always let the calls go to my voicemail. I keep getting an automated message for "Candace ***le(sp?)", with constant reminders to make sure no one else was able to listen to the message. I never listened to the entire thing, in case it was so****ing of extreme privacy.This is the second random collection agency to call me today. I personally have no outstanding debts that I am aware of.

recorded kept saying this is a message for ***dley pennington, so****ing like that.  over ten calls like that for the past two months.  don't know how they got my number

Someone from this number keeps calling my cell, does anybody know how they collect their information? who are these people?
