(800) 834-7516

Call no message. This is harassment and an illegal collection practice

Collection agency.

They like to bug and I don't know who they are.

i called and said quite sternly to please remove my number and they said no problem. didnt ask for my name or anything. hope it works

I answer the phone when this number calls my burner prepay cell phone.  What is odd is that there is no one on the other end and the call is dropped almost immediately.  So what is the point?!

multiple calls, no messages left

According to cindy they r a 3rd party collection agency. That means the bought ur OLD debt for little to nothing and r now trying to collect even more than u owed

Pay your bills and a collection agency will not call you. collections do not abide by the do not call list because they don't solicit, they are trying to recover monies that you did not pay. If they are calling a wrong number tell them that. They will remove your number. they don't want to waste there time calling a wrong number.

merchantile collection keeps calling our phone number even tho we told them the person they are looking for doesn't live here.the man that called was very ignorant and said he would keep calling back from phone #1-800-834-7516.someone else has the same name but different address and phone number but they still keep calling us!

Just like the others, they leave half their number on my voice mail. I have the whole number from caller ID, but legitimate callers identify themselves and ask for me by name. If this were a legit collection call (and I have no past-due debt), they would have sent me a letter by now. They have called at least 20 times in the last month!

I keep getting numerous calls a day from these people. I let the voicemail answer and only get half the message mid way thru. Just a number to call back.

This number was left on my office phone. I never give out my work number so I have no Idea why they were calling.

I keep constantly getting calls from this number and leaving messenges on my answering ma****e, the party identifies itself as "Merchantile Adjustment Bureu". I wish they stop calling my number that I have registered with the do not call registry, doesn't they obey the rules of not calling registered telephones? I think it is time to report them to the FTC.

W***ver this is keeps calling and leaving a message on my ma****e. I can only get the last part of it as they don't identify themselves. It gets on my nerves, and they need to stop. What happened to the do not call registry?

Am tired of these people calling. They've called 11 times that I know of. Have reported to the Do Not Call List 11 times. Nothing done. They keep calling. They say to call "Lee Kent" back.

Calling from offices of "Lee Kent" for unknown reason. Does not state who call is for or why they are calling. Calling at all hours.

Yes, this 800-834-7516 called several times and said he is Lee Kent - and wasasking for Scott (so****ing).  I told the caller the telephone number belongs to my son and not Scott Whatever his last name is.  Lee Kent said that Scott gave him our telephone number.

I live with my parents -- and this number has been calling FOREVER!! They just called a***n and the lady just says they need us to return the call and she is from the offices of Lee Kent. But, we are afraid to call back and now from reading this I don't think we will. Any ideas? Email me @ [email protected]. Thanks.

I called and pretended I was a FCC Federal Agent by the Agent number 6157-438-008 which is their phone number written backwards. I was transfered to Lee Kent, who is a collections agent for Merchantile Bank. Apparently my phone number was owned by someone else about 4 years ago. This person's accounts have fallen into collection with Merchantile. I use to receive phone calls from about 3 years ago for this same person. It seems he is now in collections. I called and gave my number, but not my name, but the name of the person they were lokking for has my same last name. The agent told me that they would remove my number. I hope that it works!

Like the others, the message is automated, and the call is made at least once daily. My number is on the Do Not Call List.

I keep getting this message, obviously automated. Not sure what it is for, but would like for them to stop calling since we are on the Do Not Call list.

I just found this web page that tells a lot about that number:http://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-800-834-7516

I received a call saying it was an "important banking" call.The caller's number on the cell phone is 1-716-817-6409

Calls from this phone number 2-3 times per day.  Getting very annoyed!

called and said to call back regarding money that was available to me?? So****ing on that order.When I called backshe asked if I knew Scott ******. I said no. She said "okay I'll keep you on the list."I said no I don't want to be on your list ...for what. She said "No I said I will take you off the list." So I don't know if it really was a miscommunication of what. I hope I am not on her list.
