Ever wonder why that 800‑816‑5569 keeps ringing your phone at odd hours? The number is most often linked to Transworld Systems, a debt‑collection agency that repeatedly contacts people about old or disputed debts. Because the calls are frequent and often silent, they can feel like harassment. Block the number on your device and add it to the national Do‑Not‑Call registry. Request a written debt verification and, if the claim is invalid, send a cease‑and‑desist notice. Report persistent abuse to the FTC, your state attorney general, and the Better Business Bureau. Using a call‑filtering app can also keep unwanted calls out of your inbox.
Legitimate agencies typically do not request personal information, and a helpful link is available for those seeking more information.
For weeks, we've been receiving calls from this number, with the latest message being from someone named Kelly Mae regarding a 'book debt', which seems suspicious and is likely a scam, as I never answer unknown numbers.
This number keeps calling me several times a day without leaving any messsage.
Daily calls to my cell phone from this number have become a persistent issue, and I will not be answering them
Following a string of calls from 800-816-5569, including one on 2/2/17, I opted to block the number to avoid further annoyance.
Legitimate debt collection agency's are requird to verify identity before releasings information, if they dont it's probably a scam, just a heads up.
For over a month, I've been receiving daily calls from this number. When I answer, the caller refuses to engage in conversation.
My phone log show that these peoples call me every day, sometime two times a day, I usually dont notice because I blocked the number and they dont leave messages, they just try to get me to answer the phone by posing as debt collectors but I think they are scamers.
Over the past few days, this number has called me multiple times, only to result in dead air before being disconnected.
These collectors are ruthless, especially considering the circumstances of my wife's work-related injury and the company's refusal to pay the hospital bill, which highlights the exploitative nature of some corporations that hire part-time workers to avoid providing benefits.
This number makes multiple calls daily.
The recorded message said the call was being recorded and the agent was asking for somone I dont know
What's striking is that a genuine debt collection company would already possess personal information such as date of birth, which is typically required for loan or credit applications, so it would be more effective for them to provide this information for confirmation.
An early morning call was received at 8:16 am, but the caller hung up before an answer could be provided
These people continuelly call me every day, all day long. If I try to call them back, there is no anser.
To address your points, federal law dictates the allowable times for contact, making a 7:45 am call illegal, and while the statute of limitations varies by state, it does not prevent collection attempts, only legal action, and filing a complaint with the BBB may not be effective due to its lack of enforcement powers.
The outcome depends on the state's laws
On Saturday, September 10, 2016, at 7:45 am, I received a call from Transworld Company, claiming it was a collection call from Kelly Mae, which I found to be extremely disturbing and unprofessional
I had missed calls from this number a couple of times, they called at times that i couldn't anser, but they never left a voicemail, i called the number back and a lady ansered
Each time I answer the call, the caller hangs up immediately without speaking.
This number is harassing me with calls.
This ordeal has been ongoing for two years now, with no respite in sight.
I got this number from caller ID, but no message was left, must be a scam call, dont think its important if they dont leave a message
A message was left on my answering machine, but no information was provided, simply a request to call back; legitimate companies usually provide details, so this seems like a scam to me, especially since they left the number 800 816 5569 and didn't answer when I called back, leading me to block the number
The tactic employed by this caller involves frequent, automated calls in an attempt to wear down the recipient and encourage engagement, often followed by periods of silence designed to catch the recipient off guard
Panasonic phones have proven invaluable in blocking unwanted callers, up to 250 numbers.
No message was left, but the call was annoying, and I'm frustrated with these kinds of telemarketing calls, which are often from freakin idiots.
After using *69 to retrieve the caller's number, I called back and spoke with a man who seemed intoxicated, prompting me to end the call.
If the call were important, a message would have been left; this suggests it was a scam or an unnecessary call.
This morning, i recieved a call from someone asking for me by name and claiming i had a debt in their office, but the caller was rude and hung up on me
