(800) 861-4838

Claims to be Calvary Portfolio Collections asking for a random person not at this number. Won't take no for an answer - gets indignant.

This number appears on my number at work, no 800 number needs to be calling me. They are harassing people. They need to get a real job and work for real people.

Any clue where this is from?

This number keeps calling me. I don't know who they are and I'm on the do not call list. Make them stop calling me.

These people have called many times. The couple of times I actually answered the phone I told them that the person they're looking for does not live here. If I answer the phone and don't say anything the call ends with no one getting on the line. I want this to stop! I have nothing to do with these people and I want them to stop calling my house!

This appears to be a phsing expedition to get personal information that can be used to access financial****ets -- they called her a***n recently. I hope no one is giving any personal or banking information to unsolicited callers or e-mailers. This operation appears to work under several different phone numbers, some of which show up on caller ID as area codes other than 800, and several different variations of the name Calvary. They appear to get phone numbers from several online sources and actively go after people who use sites like Facebook and Monster to get info. REPEAT: For your own good,, never give things like Social Security, driver license, credit card, debit card or bank account numbers to anyone who contacts you first.

Calls at least once every day and never leaves a message.

This number calls me constantly for my estranged husband. When they asked for him, I told them I did not know where he was, which is the truth. Then they asked if he was my husband. I said, "My estranged husband." They then began to harass me and tell me that "most people know where their husbands are!" and "That is awfully strange, don't you know where he is!?" a**** other things. I finally ended up having to explain to the woman on the phone that "he walked out on me, his wife, and his two baby boys. I do not know where he is and when I call his place of work they will not even tell me if he is still working there. Maam, I have no idea where he is and I am in the process of filing for divorce. If you call me one more time, I will begin including my lawyer." She then told me that they were not harassing me, that they were harassing my husband. (How can they be harassing someone who is not here, and why say you are actually harassing someone?) and that they only call my house four times per day. They actually call me somewhere between ten and twenty, depending on if it is a workday or the weekend. I have a great lawyer who is in the process of contacting them and filing harassment claims.

Agency continues to call my house after I've informed them that they have the wrong number.  Does identify themselves.  ****s up the phone and call back.

called and left no message

(800)861-4838 is CAVALRY PORTFOLIO COLLECTIONS. It sounds like a cell phone worng number at first, or radio station muzac, then it switches to the pitch and a voicemail box.

I have no idea who this caller is but he also kept asking for the last 4 of my ss and when I refused that asked for bithdate confirmation. I said I did not who he was or why he was calling and so I certainly wasn't giving out that information. He said he would just keep calling so I said I would c****e the number, which is what I will do tomorrow. I did report the number to F.C.C. though. They have an online complaint form.

The guy called me by a nickname I don't use and s****ed repeating the last 4 of my social without even knowing it was me on the other end. He got really aggressive when I wouldn't verify it was me, and I ended up ****ing up on him.

Continuously calls my fax line (3 times in 30 min this morning); when I finally got fed up and picked up the line there was breathing and I was ***g up on. I suspect they are a s***bag collection agency looking for w***ver used to own my number

Called number and got a voice mail for "Calvary"..........

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act spells out harassment or abuse as[quote]§ 806. Harassment or abuseA debt collector may not engage in any conduct the naturalconsequence of which is to harass, oppress, or abuse anyperson in connection with the collection of a debt. Withoutlimiting the general application of the foregoing, the followingconduct is a violation of this section:(1) The use or threat of use of violence or other criminalmeans to harm the physical person, reputation, or propertyof any person.(2) The use of obscene or profane language or languagethe natural consequence of which is to abuse the heareror reader.(3) The publication of a list of consumers who allegedlyrefuse to pay debts, except to a consumer reportingagency or to persons meeting the requirements of section603(f) or 604(3) of this Act.(4) The adverti*****t for sale of any debt to coerce paymentof the debt.(5) Causing a telephone to ring or engaging any personin telephone conversation repeatedly or continuouslywith intent to annoy, abuse, or harass any person at thecalled number.(6) Except as provided in section 804, the placement oftelephone calls without meaningful disclosure of thecaller’s iden***y.[/quote]The call is clearly illegal and considered harassment since the caller ID comes up unavailable under section 806 of the FDCPA.  Multiple phone calls at all times of the day could be considered harassment too.

My understanding is that if you are receiving calls from a collection agency and you request they stop calling you, they have to stop according to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/consumer/credit/cre27.pdfThere is also so****ing called debt validationhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debt_validation[quote]Debt Validation, or "debt verification", refers to a consumer's right to challenge a debt and/or receive written verification of a debt from a debt collector. The right to dispute the debt and receive validation are part of the consumer's rights under the United States Federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) and are set out in §809[1] of that act.[/quote]Requesting debt validation can sometimes stop them in their tracks as most don't have the required information.

They are a persistent caller.  My caller ID always shows unavailable.  They never leave a message.  I answered it one time, and they asked for a person.  I asked what it was pertaining too, and was told it was a personal business matter.  I suspect they are a collection agency.  The person they asked for doesn't live there.

I have been getting many calls from this number and I am disabled and when I get to the phone there is no information on my caller ID except for this number and they do not leave a message.  This is hard when someone like me can not walk well and then have to get up to answer phone calls such as this.  The caller ID states, "unavailable".
