THESE PEOPLE ARE REALLY IDIOTS. I CALL THE NUMBER AND WAS SUPPOSEDLY TRANSFER TO DALLAS AND GOT SOMEONES HOUSE AND I COULD HERE KIDS TALKING IN THE BACKGROUND AND ORDERING PIZZA!

Thank you so much for this information. I will be re-reading your comment and letter and will try and use this letter in my situation when I get home. I have a student loan and I am still in school and they have been trying to collect on me since last year (before I complete school.) I have sent the company I got the loan through (AES) all of my transcripts and enrollment and registration papers to show I was in school and I applied for deferments, and still they say I wasn't attending! Then I didn't hear from them (AES) for awhile,  and now I am getting calls from EOCCA. I am at my wits end with what to do about the collections until I complete my degree! Is there a place I can go that you know of where I can talk with someone about my student loans and how to consolidate them and make one payment for all of them?A***n, reading your comment and information has provide me with such relief that I can do so****ing about this!Thanks.

Debt Collectors – Collection Agencies –   do NOT fall under Do NOT Call registry, as they are not telemarketers.  However, they do constantly violate other Federal Laws, because us American's don't know the laws to protect us.  They are counting on that.  - Federal Law says you don't have an obligation to Collection Agencies or Debt Collectors; you can send them a written letter and they cannot contact you after that.   This includes Attorney's in state's other than your state of residence.  The only Attorney's that can sue you, have to be licensed in your resident state.A word of caution:  Some Law Firms do have Firms in other states, and Lawyers licensed in other states, so you have to do a little research before sending a Cease & Desist (Do Not Call & Go Away letter) to make sure they aren't in your resident state or you're likely to get sued by these #%#&*@!#%&@$^*.  Once a debt collector makes contact with you, they also have to contact you within 5 days after the first phone call, letter etc., and give you validation/proof or judgment of the debt.  You are not required to ask for it.   They never do this!!!!This law is known as the Fair Debt Collector Practices Act.  You can get it at FTC.gov; as well as other Consumer Protection Laws.Most collection agencies, purchase your delinquent debt for pennies on the dollar.  Guess what? It is no longer your debt!!!  You don't have any agreement/contract with the debt collector or collection agency.  Your only agreement/contract was with the original creditor.Do NOT agree to any payment arrangements, or you'll be creating an agreement/contract, where upon initial contact by the Debt Collector, one didn't exist.  The collection agencies are counting on you not knowing this little bit of information.  The best advice I can give you is, do NOT talk to these idiots - they will leave you in a frustrated heap on the floor.  They lie, and will tell you whatever they need, in order to get you to commit to paying them.The lies are illegal, but they honestly don't care, they're probably on commission for how much they collect from you and others like you.  If you do answer the phone, do NOT give out your employer, social security #, DL #, Credit Card and/or Bank information, or any personal information.  Tell them to send you a written statement & you'll respond. Then **** up.  When you get that statement, google, Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and you'll probably find a letter you can send them   Or:  send the letter I’ve enclosed that I use.  Sign and mail that letter Certified Mail, so you have a signature and confirmation of delivery!!!RE Account #   Amount in Dispute: $  Account #  Dear  :I am in receipt of your demand for payment. However, this Notice is to confirm that I do not wish to be contacted a***n by you, and that you are hereby put on Notice to Cease Communication pursuant to 15 USC Section 1692c(c). Failure to comply with said Notice, shall result in a complaint filed and submitted to the Federal Trade Commission, and possible legal remedies in an appropriate United States District Court.Your representatives have also been trying to contact me,  however, I only do business of this nature via mail. Therefore, I am requesting a***n, that you cease and desist from calling me or contacting us in any way. Please remove the phone numbers **X *******X. The calls cons***ute harassment at this point, which is causing a major disruption in both my business and personal life as well as being an invasion of my privacy, which I will not tolerate. If you continue to contact me, I may file a complaint with the Attorney General. The Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991, which ***nched from United States Code ***le 47 sect 227, implemented a do-not-call list from solicitors, which mandates a solicitor to abate phone calls to customers who have requested in writing to cease all phone communication. In addition, PLEASE TAKE NOTICE THAT, I am not waiving my right, to dispute the alleged debt****erted herein, but at this time I am under no obligation to respond.  Sincerely,Your NameAddressCity, state Zip Certified Mail#:  In the Law of Novation: if a debt is purchased by another, for that to be a legal owed obligation, a new contract / agreement has to be written and signed by all parties.  Google Law of Novation and read up!!!No I am not an attorney, just a well knowledged, educated consumer.  I have spent the past 2 years studying various Federal Consumer Protection Laws.  I wasn't just satisfied knowing I could send a letter to a Collection Agency/Debt Collector and they had to go away.  I read that in the Fair Debt Collector practices Act law;  I needed to know why, what law tells me the reason why I can.Everything I have typed, I have learned basically on my own through reading, studying, printing out and binding the laws and underlining/highlighting them.  Not to mention the knowledge I have ***ned on my own fighting two lawsuits without an Attorney.I was sued by a Collection Agency, and waiting for a Court date. The Collection Agency Attorney, sent us a letter willing to dismiss with prejudice our lawsuit, if I dismiss our Cross/Counter Claim for Fair Debt Collector Practices Act violations.  Oh, I forgot to mention, we do not have an Attorney representing us; and I have not had any legal experience, in the past whatsoever.I have read / printed & bound, my State's Rules of Civil Procedure and Rules of Civil Procedure - Evidence.  I catch Attorneys on violations of State Rules of Civil Procedure all the time.  And our Judge's let them get away with it.And for those of you who say pay up and quit being a deadbeat; it appears that you have never had your life turned upside down, because a good job, not high paying by any means, but a supposed secure job, got your hours cut by 3/4.  And then a couple years later, as you are just recovering, you lose that job.  And when you are in your 50's, a new job is not so easy to come by.  And when that happens, then what?  Or what about a major illness, guess you've never had that either - too bad.  Maybe if you did, you'd understand why and how people end up getting in financial straights. Not because they chose to, or decided they were going to find loopholes to get out of paying obligations etc.What if the money isn't there to pay these debts to begin with?  We've been barely able to pay a mortgage, let alone credit cards etc. It's easy to tell someone else what to do.  I hope someday, so****ing throws your secure little world off its axis, and you find yourself in the very situation as some of us here. Maybe then you'd learn it isn't such a cut/dry situation.Oh, we've struggled.  And the job last hasn't exactly been replaced.  We're still behind in our Mortgage and trying to catch up, as with our other legal obligations.  I can't work because of various health conditions, or I would, including a part time job at least.  My husband s****ed his own company with the tools of the trade, and now contracts for copier, computer, IT technical jobs as he has a computer science degree, and has years of experience in the others, especially the wide format copier / printers / computers.People, please read the Fair Debt Collector Practices Act; if a Debt Collector violates any one harrassment or other law in there; Federal Laws says you can sue them for $1,000.00 per violation.  Do it, and then THEY can pay off YOUR obligations!!!   Please email me at c****mail@mommypettlc (tlcpetmommy) for help with individual questions.  A***n I am not an Attorney - but have learned these by my own experiences.  There are Attorneys you could talk to, and I would, if any violations of the laws have occured in your cir***stances.  I am posting this strictly to help others maybe have a piece of mind, if they are up all night worrying about financial problems, and sick to their stomach in worry as I have been, and still are in some ways. I am a***n just a well informed, knowledgable consumer, who has spent hours studying the laws, because I had no where else to turn for help.  If anything I have written, causes you questions, please seek the advice of an Attorney.Certain situations such as Mortgages and Car Payment loans usually do not apply here; so you may need to seek the advice of a Lawyer for your individual situation.© copyright 2010 rcmeek All Rights Reserved

The number that called me was 8775186509. THey said it was EOCCA and to stay on the phone. I asked to speak to a manager, she was in meeting but I was told her name is Danelle. I forwarded her info to my local sheriffs office who will look into it. Im guessing they got my new number from ATT, a website I registered and thety figure its a 50/50 chance that the victim they call will be in debt of some kind due to the economy. DON'T GIVE ANY PERSONAL INFORMATION! ...They might be worse than the nigerian phone scams.

A friend of mine is receiving these calls in regards to me supposedly.  Same situation gives number and ref. number.   There is no need for any company in MA to try and collect a debt from me when I live ALASKA.  *rolls eyes* How the***** my name is connected to my friends MOM's number is beyond me.

are you dusty..if you are not dusty call this number and we will stop calling you..if you are please stay on the line and refer to account # and call this number regarding an important issue

These people leave messages X3  for a person not in this household. Stating **** up if you are not this caller, then proceed to leave a message private information about the person. When I called to have them remove us from the calling list....the guy refused to give his name stating it was a collection agency, badgered and belitted me, when asked for a supervisor he stated they are all busy. He said my number was directly listed by the person I haven't even heard of ....Rude and obnoxious doesn't even begin to cover how badly this guy acted.

CCA is a *****chusetts DOR collection agency. They outsource collections now. Looking for overdue Sales, Meals, Hotel taxes, etc. I believe they are located in Norwell, MA. If you don't pay, they get your accounts attached and cleaned out.

Called them back at 800 836 3570 .... somewhat rude guy put me on hold. Then "Mark Moorehouse" got on and asked me to verify who I was by giving him my address.  I told him I don't know who EOCCA is and was hesitant to give out any personal information - and HE ***G UP!This has got to be iden***y theft!

I received a call from 877-5283499 telling me that it was EOCCA and it was related to a debt collection. This is a scam. I don't have any collection debts.

Very rude no phone s****s and a d-ck

Got a call from a recording saying that if I am the person they are calling for please stay on the line otherwise **** up. So I listen and they say calling to collect on a debt. WoW the only debt I have is my ex wife!!! They called from 877-533-7006.

call came in saying were from EOCCA collection agency. i do not have any collection accounts.

Got a call from ***** who calls himself Michael Barrett from Company Called EOCCA Collection Agency he left message saying he was calling for MA Dept Revenue first thing he says in message is this is call for Michael ######## if this isnt Michael **** up immediately BUT if you continue to listen to this message then your telling me your Michael ######## ? What planet is ***** from doesnt he know about voicemail how can anyone listen to there messages while they are being recorded ? Nevermind he keeps calling my cell phone and he has called and left same message atleast 6 times in last 2 weeks ..I want to call him back just to let him know what A**HOLE he is for leaving such rude message and send him my phonebill for using up my minutes leaving me messages that he made up to prove he is doing good job ...thinking he found someone so he can harrass the wrong person...

Received Call.  Said they were collecting on behalf of Mass Dept of Revenue.  I was asked to confirm the last 4 digits of my soc sec #.  I never answered their question.  I asked them for company name, they responded EOSCA.  I asked which state they were incorporated in, they answered "*****chusetts".  Asked for their business license registration number so that I could confirm on my own, one guy said he did not know what it was and referred me to the "boss".  The  boss then tried to lean on me and threatened to tell Mass DOR that I was being uncooperative. This was a scam.  I confirmed with Mass DOR that they did not have a collection agency going after me.  Do not give these people any information.

caller said he was from Mass Dept of Revenue and the call was from 781-681-4300, but the call back # was 877-242-7524.
