I got a call from Mike at 'Coast Professional' yesterday. They used my maiden name and were looking for information on my mom. They wanted me to verify her phone number and address. I did neither but instead asked what this was about, how they got my name and how they got my unlisted phone number. The guy stammered something about 'I can't disclose that information, but I do have your name linked with this account and I have all of your relevant information here'. I smelled a rat and hung up. I think it's a scam but I do wonder who they bought (or stole) my information from. Obviously they had enough to link my mom to me and had my maiden name and my current supposedly unlisted phone number.

They tried reaching me the other day, marked as UNAVAILABLE, and now I know who they are.I will accept a letter from the creditor, but to hell with shoot-from-the-hip collection agencies like this. I AM paying my bills on time, every time. What especially annoys me is that they won't even post a company name. I can't give them acknowledgement as anything legitimate, much less as respectable professionals. So... I put these clowns on my home phone's BLOCK CALLER list Ta-dah!

I KEEP GETTING THIS CALL BUT NO ONES ON THE LINE

THIS IS A VIOLATION OF THE FEDERAL TRADE COM. THEY DON'T SAY WHY THEY ARE CALLING AND WILL NOT IDENTITY THEMSELVES AT ALL. PLEASE REPORT THEM. CALLING MY EMPLOYER DAILY.

i keep on getting calls from this exact number and exact same lady every time for a Tabitha smith for the past year. i keep on telling her i am not Tabitha smith.last time she called i thretend to call the cops to hopefully get her to back off and not call again,everytime she says she is going to take my number off the list she dosent and calls again,same person same phone number.

'Coast Professional', they've called my house in the morning, afternoon & the late evenings (past 7:30pm). They claim my husband owes over $5K in student loans from 2009 but he never took out a loan last year. This 'Mike' tried to hassle me into telling him my husbands work information which is classified. Tried to ask me how much he brings in every month & when I wouldn't tell him, he gave me an attitude. If they're so 'professional', they wouldn't have such rude representitives. I'm not sure if I buy their crap so be careful with what information you give them & ask for them to mail you a letter. Apparently, they sent us 2 & they come in envelopes that don't have their address on the front for privacy reasons!! Just be careful.

I got a letter from them as well as a hang up phone call. These guys are idiots. In the body of the letter they are identified as 'Coast' but in the letterhead of the second page they are 'Cost'. This is what they are sending out as a company. If you're not smart enough to proof-read your company letterhead, you're never going to get past my 'Silent Ring-Straight to Voice-mail' ninja skills. I picture this guy as some hick that got talked out of his Katrina money with a get rich scheme. 'All you gotta do Jethro is keep callin these som'[***], som'body gunna pay and you can make a gazillion dollars more than you give me for these here magic numbers'. I don't owe the debt and better people than you have tried and failed. You'll get tired and sell the debt to some other poor guy who is more stupid than you. From my observations, it wont be to many more transactions like that before someone is to stupid to pick up the phone. I imagine a drooling flesh sack, sitting on a porch in the Ozarks on welfare day. Someone just walks by and throws a greasy notebook of numbers at it and takes it's food stamps as payment.

Received a call yesterday and they started asking me to identify my information before they would give me the companies information. Also, the CSR started given much attitude and I ended the call.

This ph# got my name off a website of a club I belonged to and started calling the president of the club asking her for my personal information. They told they needed to contact me about a job. When she told them she could not give them my info but would take a message then they started harassing her to the point she gave them my Wrk Ph number. Now the call incessantly to me at work and the club president. Their tactics seem totally abusive and unprofessional.

repeated unsolicited calls

I don't know who these clowns are, but i called them back. First, they won't identify the company they're with, so perhaps they are a collection agency. Still don't know why they'd be calling me. Their outgoing voicemail message says:'Hello, please hold for the first available representative. It's important that we speak with you. We'll be with you shortly. Thank you.'

Have received numerous calls exactly the same-asking me to verify entire ss and dob of one of my employees-and asking if w-2 and full time. I would not verify. Caller was very rude. I told them to send request in writing, gave mailing address, never received. Now I have blocked number.

I dealt with them as well. They are actually legitimate and are contracted by the Dept. of Education to collect loans. If however they are rude or hassle you(as they were to me and my family) and you do have outstanding loans call them back and ask to speak to one of their managers they will assign you to a different collector. The people I now deal with are polite and helpful. I did however call the Dept of Edu and check first to legitimize their claim as I would suggest anyone do. THERE IS NO REASON THAT YOU SHOULD BE TREATED WITH ANYTHING LESS THAN RESPECT AND COURTESY SIMPLY BECAUSE YOU HAVE FALLEN ON HARD TIMES!!! Just check and double check.

I have explained to these people that I have never enrolled in Strayer University and they said it did not matter. Then in the phone conversation they stated it did not matter and they would pursue me till the end of time quote. I asked them to remove me from their call list and was hung up on. My cousin was first contacted and was insulted by a man name Larry who I found was the supervisor of this company. They say they are Federal but yet when I investigated the matter it was found that they are not a Federal organization but a simple debt collector who buys debts and then goes to collect debts given to them or purchased by them from other companies that have extreme debt loads. I asked to have my number removed and they threatened me with some courts somewhere? I do not believe the manner of their behavior and unprofessional business practices.

I keep getting calls from this number as well. I do have a student loan. I did get behind on it, but I am not anymore. I pay every month and have it set up to be taken directly from my bank account. This process has been going on for several months. They shouldn't be calling me anymore, but they do. They call me at work, and at home and on my cell. It is every day, several times a day. The bill I get every month now comes directly from the Federal Student Loan office, not a debt collector.

I consistently get phone calls from this number and decided to answer the call for once because they never leave a voice message. I was told I owed over 6k to the Art Institute and that my debt was sent to them for collections.I find find it unbelievable that I am still making payments with my school and my information was passed down to this company?The CSR was completely rude with me over the phone, When I asked her 'Why should I pay your company money if my school is still receiving payments from me?'She could not answer my question and refused to to give me any further information, then insisted on transferring me up to the 'MANAGER'. I just laughed and said 'Is that really going to make a difference?' She just put me on hold and I simply hung up.I just sent this FDCPA Dispute letter listed to the company.............. we will see what this outcome is.

Calling my family saying they are calling about a job reference. What a crock!

I received a call from this number. They identified themselves as 'Coast Professionals' and said they were looking for a reference check on a person who claimed his name was Justin with my last name. When I said I didn't know him, they were going to just hang up until I asked how they got my name and phone number from someone I didn't know. The caller was unable to answer my question and said it must just be a mistake. I said it was a pretty strong coincidence and asked to speak to a supervisor.The person who claimed to be a manager came on line. I spelled my name and he immediately said 'Oh this one is spelled Jeanee, not Jeanny. It must be a mistake. Perhaps the numbers got transposed.' I continued to find this unlikely and pointed out that if they were doing a reference check, the person being checked on was trying to pass off false information and was, therefore, a liar and a cheat.They told me I was slandering him and would not continue the conversation.I am uncomfortable about this.

Called this morning twice, no messages left, they said they needed my name to figure out more information. They could not find the number in my system to remove it.departments mentioned: reference checksadministration 'paper pushing'manager Kelly : Kelly Schroeder , 800- , manager_Coast Professional, Several business locations:Louisiana,New York

Called by this number. Don’t know who it is.
