Texas: Debt Collectors Harrassing My Home - Wrong Number!
What can I do to file a harrassment lawsuit against a debt collection agency? Who can I contact to file criminal charges and complaints against this operation? A particular debt collection opertaion has called my residence at least 10 to 20 times per month over the past 8 months looking for someone I have never heard of in my entire life. Their incompetence and desperation for revenue runs so deep that when they skip-traced for the person they are trying to reach all they saw in the phone listings was a first initial and a last name and assumed they had the person tracked down. My number is listed as just a 1st initial and last name and no address. At least 5 to 8 times a month when I am working from my home office and can answer the phone, I tell the representative that there is no one by the name they are seeking at this number. I even call the number on my Caller ID and attempt to reach a manager or supervisor. I have spoken with supervisors on 4 separate occassions. I am told each time that the number has been removed from their records. Their lie is short lived and I continuously get harrassed with more phone calls by extremely rude callers invading and interupting my private residence and family. I should be compensated handsomely for the stress, damage, and invasion into my home!
Any information, next steps, guidance would be appreciated.
