Enhanced Recovery Collections Corp tactics?
I got a call from Enhanced Recovery. The message they left on the phone was "This call is for (left no name), if you are not this person delete this message as this is not meant to for you. A short pause and then goes to say "This is Chelsea from Enhanced ....They are attempting to collect a debt and anythings you say will be used against you etc. Call 800-496-8612 and use reference number (none given) then they hung up." I have gotten 3 calls like this in the past 3 days.
Since all my accounts are up to date I know this call is not for me. I had been getting collection calls for someone with the same last name as mine in the past from 2 other collection agencies. They quit calling when I informed them that I had recordings of them on my phone leaving sensitive info on my answering machine meant for someone who does not nor ever used my phone nor lived at my house. And I would refer the phone calls to my AG's office. No more calls after that.
My questions is is this a new tactic collection agencies are using by not leaving the person's name they are trying to reach? Does this tactic make it legal or are they still violating the FDCPA?

It's not for you so forget it and move on with life. And I think you have the Miranda rights mixed up with them saying that any infomation they get will be used in order to collet the debt. Just don't answer the phone. Life is way to short to dwell on such issues.

HA! Good for you telling them that you have them recorded.
A lot of bottom feeder debt collectors will call the last number someone had or someone who has a name close to yours may owe debt from years and years ago. They sometimes get lucky and the people who do answer the phone have bad credit but don't know who they owe or anything and will cave in and offer up money or their bank account #s to these goons!
I would report them to the AG if they keep calling.

I understand you are attempting to liven your spirituality - yet i'm hoping you spot the selfishness in what you're asking? Your pal's mom is dying - which he broke down in expressing - and your subject is changing others to Christianity/ keeping it in average communique is intense high quality in the event that they opt to hearken to it, yet whilst a individual opens up, they choose convenience suited now, from you. i understand your rebuttal would be that they choose convenience in Jesus. possibly so, yet your concentration would desire to be on helping them, and not no count if or not they convert or not. pass away it in his arms.. On an factor be conscious, be careful who you are attempting this to. to 3, there will be not something greater offensive then beginning as much as somebody a pair of non-public count, to have them carry forth their faith to you. no count if evidently this thank you to you or not, it might desire to to them. stable success.
