They are calling me at ALL hours of the day and night. I don't even pick up the phone.

It's Pegus Research. They are not a bad en***y. They are seeking your opinions about your recent experiences with doctors, clinics, physical therapy clinics, to evaluate how well these doctors and clinics are doing, overall and for each individual prac***ioner.Your answers help them rate the employees in health care systems.  There is no one who can provide better****essment of their performance than you, the patient.Most people I know welcome the chance to give their opinion, confidentially, of their care.  Often, complaining to a doctor or clinic is impossible or inefficient, at best.

This number keeps calling....I never answer as I figured it was a telemarketer.....

A good  place to file a complaint is with the Federal Communications Commission.  The rules they govern are stricter.  I believe it is complaint # 1088 FCC doesn't mess with complaints; and my complaints in the past have always been investigated!!!  FTC and donotcall, place complaints on a list, and will investigate, file charges if they see a pattern.  So everyone needs to file complaints, so that there will be a definite pattern!.Anyone have problems with Collection Agencies calling?  There are laws to protect Consumers from these ****s.  #1, they technically do not have any authority.  They usually purchase charged off bills, from other creditors for pennies on the dollar.  #2, because the bill is with an original creditor, you are NOT obligated to these ****s.  They will try to convince you that you are.  #3 the only way you become obligated to these agencies, is if you make payment arrangements with them; thereby creating a contract/agreement, where none exist, when they first contact you!!!If you answer the phone,  simply say:"I do not discuss financial matters by phone - send me a statement in writing and I will respond to it."  Then **** up!!!  Otherwise, they will have you completely shaken!!!  The longer they keep you on the line, the more chance they have, to get money from you including payment arrangements – or payment agreement/contract!!!  You are NOT legally obligated to talk to them!!!Collection agencies are ruthless ****s!!!  They will tell you they are the original creditor when they are not - even though it is illegal, for them to do it, per Federal Consumer Protection Laws.  You can legally sue them for $1,000.00 per violation.When you do get a statement - google "FAIR DEBT COLLECTION PRACTICES ACT" One or more online Attorney websites will be shown.  These websites will have valuable information, including a Cease & Desist sample letter; or a Cease Communication letter.  Once received, it is a violation of the Federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, to contact you further.You can also educate yourself by reading Consumer Protection Laws at www.ftc.gov;  a lot of valuable information.  Don’t have time,  download and read later.  You will be glad you did!!!I am not an Attorney - just an Educated Consumer, in Consumer Protection Laws.  I have spent hours studying these laws and becoming familiar with them.  They have helped us and friends/family as well; and hopefully it will help someone, who reads this.And for those self-righteous criticizers, who say, just pay your bills on time; things happen to people with Credit Card debt, medical bills etc., often beyond their control such as job loss, divorce, *****, illness etc. and you find your self in a bind.  We've been there, we know.  You do not plan to pay late, or not make payments; but if the income quits - there's not a whole lot one can do!  You then are forced to prioritize, Mortgage, Utilities, Car payment then food, if you can!  Other things have to be let go!  I hope this information will be helpful to somebody who reads it!!!  Also another site to check out is www.ccdnlaw.com, good information.  And they can help you!!!  If you fill out the contact us, put down your referral by tlcpetmommy – in the comments section;  they will know who I am!!!

call came ,rang 5 times,i did not answer.

It's called Pegus Research.  They can call up to ten times, and want you to take a survey.  Just tell them to put you on the do not call list and they'll take you right off.  The surveys can range anywhere from any kind of smoking quitline, to health care surveys and some random ones in the Salt Lake City area.

Five calls from this number in the past few days.  I've never answered it.
