(800) 697-1234

This 1-800 number *Bay Area Credit Co, (a collection agency), apparently has several users....one called my home today about ambulance service and asked for personal info....address, soc security, DOB, employment, etc.

Received a voice mail on my cell phone directing me to call this number. After listening to the voice mail, became su****ious, decided not to call back and instead researched websites for more info.

I am on the Do Not Call list and they called from an 800 number that makes it a sales call. They have told me they will call me everyday and will purposely ruin my credit.

Someone has called me on my cell for a month on and off asking for money for a bill that I never had. I have asked repeatedly for more information on the matter and their response was "well we are looking into reporting this on your credit report". Since when is that okay? I have NOT received any information regarding any such bill that I supposedly had in the past.

Someone (india outsource) called wanting to talk to my mom who is a nursing home. They got very irate with me when I asked for more information. I'm not even sure how they got MY number and asked for MY mom. If you actually try to call them back all you get is "All circuits are busy." If you call during off hours, you get some business that is closed. It's a scam.

Bay Area Credit Service is one of many organizations that buy our charged off debts, ship them overseas, and then attempt to collect at highly inflated profits. Many use the same lies, threats and bully tactics so pervasive here in America. Bay Area is not alone; this practice was s****ed because labor in INDIA is far less than what they would pay an American worker. The hourly wage in INDIA for debt collectors s****s at around $3.00/hour with no taxes or benefits paid to the employee. One thing that U.S debt collectors and their INDIAN counter parts have learned is the lesson of greed and it is all at the expense of the American consumer.

called my cell, but didn't leave a voicemail. Then, called my SON'S cell. Asked for me, then asked for my number. Son wouldn't give it to him. Then asked for the number of someone who might know my number!!!! Had already gotten my phone and voicemail pickup!! Didn't need my number!!! Identified self to son (who is 19), but son didn't remember the name. ****.

Sent a letter stating we owed $502.73to AT&T. Would not give any iformation on it. Sent second letter so I contacted AT&T Found out I don't owe anything. I called them back and they ***g up. HUGE SCAM!!! I reported them to FTC.

Call came in on my home phone, when I picked it up - no answer. My CELL phone rang 10 seconds later, I picked up and said*****o. Caller asked for someone in a VERY thick accent. Could not understand what he was saying. I asked who is this the person said Bay Area Credit Service. Is this I think it was my name, but the accent was so strong I could not tell. I said, what do you want. Person replied is this..and I couldn't understand what he asked. So I just ***g up. I am on the do not call list and I have no idea how he got my cell phone number. This has got to stop....

Recorded message, asks me to return call, calls often despite me being on no call list

Same as my other complaintes.....these dirt bags can't get a real job.

This company refuses to invoice for payment and has no online payment system. I processed a payment through my bank and the check was returned. Their customer service staff is difficult to understand (not in this country?) and difficult to deal with.

Messages are left on the answering ma****e EVERY day. If we answer, it is either a ****up or a recorded message saying to call another number. Not only are we unlisted and on a no-call list, but my husband sleeps days (or tries to). I'm blocking the number!

They call every other day.

Two months ago I got the 1st call from a company (was an actual man speaking)said they were calling about a Visa Card I had several years ago and has a balance of $3,000. I said I never had a Visa Card and I don't owe any money on one. Then he wanted the last 4 digits of my SS#. I said no way and ***g up. Ever since I have gotten recorded calls from them telling me to "call

FILE A COMPLAINT ON THESE GUYS WITH FTC. AMR refused to make a claim to my insurance. Someone in their office *****ed up and missed a digit in my address. AMR then sold the bill to BAY AREA CREDIT SERVICE. Bay Area credit service marked my Credit score without me ever receiving a bill. If anyone else has a similar case you can contact me @ JasonLara2000 AT gmail.com

I've been receiving phone calls that are manned by robots these past few days. The calls with the same number,

Called the last three days in a row about the same time every day. Phone rings about three times and then stops. W***ver this is shouldn't have even gone beyond the no solicitation block I have on my line in the first place. How do we stop these calls?

Calls me randomly at anytime.. twice.. There is always an eleven minute inteval between. When I pick up, there is always no one answering And each time I reject, there is a pile of voicemails

They call(2 or 3 times a day) and leave a garbled recorded message to call them back at another number(different from what shows up on caller id.)

Keeps calling me, sometimes 3 or 4 times a day

i've tried to talk to the caller and tell them i'm not the person they want...each employee( now into 2nd month calling everyday)speaks broken english, so this is likely an iden***y theft scam run by asian mafiosos

Harassing 89 year old mother who is blind and can hardly hear for an ambulance bill less than 2 months old. Will deal with ambulance company however have NEVER received a bill from them or the collectors.

Their phone number shows up from a

They call every day and leave a message saying (We are calling with a important message please call us at i-

This number calls me cell phone 2-3 times a day. Thought it was for my ***her who is deceased but when I called back it was for someone I did not know...Is there anyway to stop this..

Calling all times not leaving name or iden***y

Been getting calls every couple of days

How Many Of these before these people are shutdown. This **** is getting on my nerves. Dont want what your selling. T

Google Searched This Number And Has Many Complains a***nst them. Sent Them a email to Stop calling me. [email protected]

They called me twice in one day and ***g up after about 5-10 seconds.

No known reason, they were calling 6 months ago, stopped for 4 months and now have s****ed a***n.

This number has relentlessly been calling my cell phone about 3 times a day for the last 2 months. Today I answered and they said they were trying to collect on an unpaid ambulance bill from 2002...however, I have never rode on an ambulance- they did not have my correct address...clearly they have the wrong person and it seems to be a scam. The caller acknowledged he must have the wrong person...but later that day I still received 2 otehr calls from the same number...make it stop!!

Caller called my home June 10, 2008 at 7:50a.m. PST. Asking for Anna C??. I had to tell her 3 times she had the wrong number. She replied, very rudely, "I was just checking!.

Won't stop calling. Calling for somebody that doesn't live here and we don't know but still won't stop.

called @ 2:00 am in the morning

Pretty much the same as everyone else. And by the way for those of you with time on your hands go to Bay Area Credit.com they have a fax number listed there ! Go on line and register them to recieve special spam faxes and let's see how they like it !!! It is time for them to have a taste of their own medicine !!!

Calls repeatedly, even after telling them that they have the wrong phone number.

The call a couple times a day ask to call them back and then when I do ***ody picks up

I have no acct w/them. They call EVERYDAY w/o fail!

Keeps calling all times of day.

Calls all the time on my cell. How they got the number? no idea. Then when I answer just nothing..But leaves imporant msg to call back.

Iden***y Thieves. Phishers. Professional Criminals.

We have been getting calls telling us to call Alliant Law Offices at 877-229-5877, but the caller ID reads 800-697-1234.  I'm not answering and I'm not calling back.  They'll get sick of the game eventually, but I hope if we all report this, they get arrested.

They do not leave a message of why they are calling but they keep calling over and over a***n.

Calls all the time on my cell. How they got the number? no idea. Then when I answer just nothing..But leaves imporant to call back! ****s!

Getting real tired of these calls. Messages left 2-3 times a day on my cell phone for the last two weeks. Message says it is "important & to call

I am tired of getting calls from

Recording to call

Recording asking to call a

they leave no details just to have them call them back at

A BS debt collector trying to collect on a bogus past due AT&T phone bill that calls 5-6 times per day weanting our checking account number. A total scam and I told them I was recording the call and have reported them to the FCC.

The calls are relentless. They s**** with a recorded "This is not a marketing call" and there is no useful message either.

This number calls my office several times a day then ****s up after a recording plays.

They keep calling - every day at all hours. They ask for my brother who has been dead for over a year. I have told them this several times. They leave a number to call for "a very important message"

They keep calling me at different times of day, when I pick up they do not talk and on AM they leave no message. Recently I forwarded their call to themselves (my phone has this feature) I'm wondering why there's no organization to track them down after these many complaints, who they are and how we can terminqate this hassle!

When I answer the phone, I get a recorded message that says all customer service representatives are busy. They call nearly every day!!! Can't get through to them to take me off of their call list.

Calls at odd hours and leaves no return call number.

Perhaps based in India. Rude.

Calling every day. Tell me that I do not need to pay for my med's. But pay them first.

this company keeps calling and asking for someone we are not related to...I asked to be removed from their list several times and they say yes, but, continue to call and annoy us.

calls 3 times a day within minutes apart. one day i got 2 calls at 449pm and another at 450pm. they keep asking my fiance questions when he answers. he has told them i not home, im not married, to stop calling or whatever. sometimes we arent even home when they call. this is gettin rediculous.

Calls twice daily, with false data about debt collection.

They are looking for the people who used to have this number and have been calling me almost daily for 2 YEARS despite my repeated attempts to explain that they have the wrong person.

annoying

They keep calling. I am not the person they are looking for and have told them that. I have told them to remove my number but they just keep calling.

I have actually talked to someone. They asked for Tom Johnson, who I am not. I told them they had the wrong number and thought that was the end of it. NOT

Every time we answer the phone we get an automated message to call them. If they want to talk to us so bad, there better be someone on the other end!This is a business line, and we're tired of interruptions like this 3 to 4 times a day! Make it stop NOW!

Calls 4 or 5 times a day

We get the call all the time.  Call it back, and when you get to speak to a represen***ive, tell them you are recording the call and watch them **** up immediately.  They get really upset if you tell them you are recording the call. *******S!

Calls at different times several times a day and does not leave a message about what they are calling for

calls a couple times adays at different times

These people have been calling my sons ( a child) cell phone (Trac Phone) since we had the service turned on in August. They call at least 3 times a day ( if not more). It's gotten so bad with these people ( and MANY other numbers)that I have him keep the phone off unless he needs call home.

Just got a call from this number.  Referred me to call another number: (800) ***-2227.  Almost called them back until I found this website.  Definitely sounds like Iden***y Theft.

These idiots call me everyday on my cell phone and never leave a voicemail. Sometimes more than once. I looked online to find out who these people were and after I read what has been said here I decided to never answer. Just out of curiosity I ordered a credit report just to see if I had anything on file, which I already suspected was false even though I was in a car accident two weeks ago and had an ambulance ride. I have no collections or anything else on file. I have great credit and these people have no reason to contact me.A***n, I never answer the phone when they call so I don't know if they are really trying to reach me. But if they are they are unprofessional and have false information. If these people call don't give them your name, address, and not even ONE number of your social security.And this might be unrelated, but before I kept receiving calls from this number I was getting a lot of strange 1-700 numbers on my caller ID, which I suspect is probably a scam overseas.

Their is some guy with a Indian accent that keeps on calling me everday 2xs a day around 10:00A.M. and 6:00P.M..I keep saying stop calling me but they still do.I asked him for his name and he said STEVE.......He asked me to owe him money for a BAY AREA CREDIT UNION.Sometimes when he calls it's a voice recording asking me to call back.They are asking for some dude that I never heard of.The're freakin' CRAZY.....They keep waking my child and me up and I have work and she has school plus she is only 10.Plus they keep on telling us on the RECORDING to call 800-***-2227 but the # states 800-697-1234

STOP CALLING ME

We have been getting calls from this number for a couple of weeks, we always let the ma****e pick up, they never leave a message.  I've gotten so sick of them calling that I decided to pick up, they asked for someone with the same last name, but a first name that I don't know anybody by.  I told the guy that they had the wrong number and to please take our number off of their list, he then asked me to verify the phone number, i told him the one he called was correct but there was ***ody here by the name he asked for.  Then he s****ed stating an address and I cut him off and told him that I WILL NOT verify any information and that if they don't take our number off of their list that I will seek legal action.   That was 3 nights ago, needless to say...the number was on caller ID yes****ay and today.  I called back and told the guy that answered to take our number off of their list that there is ***ody named Justin that lives here.  He said we won't get anymore calls....we shall see.

Obvious scam. Report this company to your local attorney general office.

This is an obvious scam. Call your local attorney general office to report.

these people call my number constantly, and often at very early hours (like 7 am) or very late hours (like 10 pm)...when i returned a call, the person on the other end said he was calling about "a personal business matter" but could not give any other info without asking me a bunch of personal questions...told him to stop...looked up this number on line and found out it was a debt collection service, no doubt violating multiple provisions of the fair debt collection practices act

a woman called this morning asking about an ambulance ride i took in 2003 she argued with me about the ride i actually was in jail on that day and wasnt out to take the ride so i asked her if i could speak to an american she got mad and ***g up.. i called bthe number back and got a man with the same accent he knew my name.. they must have caller id he said he was a collection agency in the bay area.. i asked him why he was calling people at 5 am their time.. no one calls people at 5 am to collect a debt he ***g up. so i called back got the same guy asked for his address but he wouldnt give to me he wanted my information.. i asked how come i couldnt speak with an american. i got no answer.. he wanted a 1000 dollars for the ambulance ride i never took so i asked for a supervisor he ***g up. i called back a***n same man answered and told him to never call my house a***n.. this is a scam whatever you do dont mess with these people they are indian people probably not in the states.. i wish there was a way to get these mfs.

We've been getting these calls multiple times per day for weeks. They obviously originate in India. They ask for someone I have never heard of.  We tell them the person doesn't live here but they keep calling back.  Tonight they said the calls will stop if I tell them my name.  I think I have already done that but in any case it's none of their FN business.  They should be able to tell that the number is not registered to the person they are looking for.  Apparently the do-not-call list does not take care of situations like this.

These people are calling my cell phone, don't know how they got it, trying to collect from my Dad who is dead. Asked them what it was about, they said it was a personal matter. I told them they would have to dig him up to talk to him. Then they had the nerve to ask me to send them a copy of the ***** certificate.

They must be a covert phone company op. to increase call blocking option sales.

We have been receiving calls from this 800 number for months.  Have tried many ways to get them to stop....with caller ID not answering, and they leave a message.  Had 25 messages on recorder after being away for 11 days.  Have answered and told them I have never heard of the person they are trying to contact, and we have had this number for 27 years.  It is very hard to understand the callers with their heavy accents.

the people, whom you cannot understand, do not understand. i have filed complaints with several agencies, and will talk to my state attorney general. i do not know whom they seek, but it is not me. i told them three times to stop, but nothing yet.

They have called and talk in such an accent when you call the number back, so that you cant understand the name of their business. When you do ask , they come back at you asking you - who you are.  When you tell them NO they have the wrong person, They keep asking are you sure this isnt you.  LIKE WE DONT KNOW OUR **** NAMES! Atleast we speak English.

They've called here - a BUSINESS - for the last few days, asking for someone who doesn't work here -- demanding that this IS a residence... in a city ***DREDS of miles away.  Not even the correct area code!  I've repeatedly told them this, and then they s**** asking more questions such as "who I am," etc.  They all have heavy [Middle Eastern?] accents.

can't understand the people with heavy accents. regards to an amount. can't tell me who they are looking for. i own no one anything. very annoying.

This is a collection agency called Bay Area Collection Agency or Credit Services. The people that work here are unprofessional and never have their information correct. The guy I talked to ***g up on me after contacting my parents to get a hold of me. I got the bill resolved it wasnt' even my fault and now I am going to corporate to get this guy his behavior was unacceptable.

These people are calling my number everyday at different times for the last 5 or 6 days asking me for somebody else who happens to have my last name. Asked them to stop, but they don't... Never identified themselves.  Asked them once,"are you trying to collect some money?, send the bill..." no answer.
