How do you get collection agencies to stop calling your number when they have the wrong number & person?

Send them a letter that instructs them not to call you anymore. See http://www.fair-debt-collection.com/

Talk to them whenever you're bored. For hours. Run their phone bill up. Ask them to repeat themselves. Get in an arguement with yourself. be a pest to them.

Tom Mabe (a standup comedian) has a good way...

This happened to me when I first moved to a new town.

If this is a fairly new number for you, consider getting a new one. Most local phone companies will allow you to change your phone number once within the first 90-days or so for this exact reason.

You can send in a written request to the collections agency, but if the previous owner of your number was a true credit-criminal, you can expect to be getting calls from fifteen to twenty different collectors. I was getting calls at 4am and just did not feel like writing a seperate request to each and every collector. The phone company told me they offered the free one-time change and I took them up on it.

There is no way to get them to stop calling, I had this problem, I told them that it was a new number for me and that the person they were looking for no longer used that number, it worked for awhile, then they started calling again. Even if you get a new number, it can still happen because most numbers have already been used by someone else.

I had that problem and i tried talking to themHad number to long to change it for free or want to change it .I phone police about what to do.They said next time they phoned tell them you reported them and if happened again police would visit .End of calls
