?Ever wondered why that unknown number keeps buzzing your phone? The pattern points to a debt collector—most callers identify themselves as Northland Group, a known collection agency. First, never share personal or financial details over the phone. Request a written validation of the debt within 5 business days, as required by the FDCPA. If the call is harassing or the collector can’t verify the debt, hang up and log the incident. Report persistent offenses to the FTC and consider a call‑blocking service or your carrier’s spam filter. Keeping records and staying firm can stop the nuisance and protect your rights.
It's clear that this is a debt collector, which could have been easilly determinied by reading this thread, aparently.
Repeated calls from this number have been a nuisance, with the caller hanging up without saying a word, making it suspicious that they might be trying to create a record of contact to dispute claims of never receiving a call.
This number is a source of harassment.
Today's call included a 45-second voicemail with audible typing and breathing, but no message was left
The caller identification displays Northland, and they call every day, leaving only one message about an important business matter without providing a company name or contact person. It's interesting that Verizon has flagged this number as spam.
It seems that these lowlifes are back, I recived a call from them today, but I didnt answer because I know I dont have any outstanding debt, and I wont fall for their tricks.
Triple-B lacks the autority to take enforcment action, and is primarily a comercial organisation that may be vunerable to corrupt pratices.
Res's point is well taken, and I apologize if my previous posts seemed misleading, as my intention was to provide helpful information where needed.
A defensive tone was perceived in a previous conversation, which was not intended. The goal was to provide information and clarify any misunderstandings.
Attachments to my submissions are acceptable as long as they are relevant and useful, and do not appear to be direct responses
Despite the concerns, I will continue to share information as I see fit, and I believe that posting details in a different manner or including additional information can be beneficial to others, even if it means repeating certain points.
My intention was not to lecture, but rather to address potentially hazardous statements that appeared on the thread's front page, primarily for the benefit of future readers.
It appears the original post contained inaccuracies, and Resident47 is correcting the information.
Further details are required to understand the context of this call
This is NORTHLAND GROUP or ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLES MANAGEMENT or ARM, INC
The FDCPA, a federal law established in 1978, aims to shield consumers from abusive debt collection practices, detailing unfair and deceptive practices.
Federal law prohibits them from disclosing any information about the debt or the person it's owed to if the debt isn't yours.
The letter i recieved wasnt a form letter, it was a speficic one, but it was taken from somwhere else, and it didnt make sence to me, it was pretty confusin...
I respectfully inquire as to why a post from over five years ago is being replied to, and I appreciate the efforts of Resident47 in assisting users
It's clear that Resident47 has extensive knowledge of the FDCPA, surpassing that of most individuals.
It's really rude that they call me repeatedly, dont they have nothing better to do
Frequent calls from this number are ignored, but an interesting tactic involves quickly pressing the # key multiple times to confuse the automated system.
My strategy is to avoid picking up calls from unknown numbers, hoping they will eventually remove me from their auto dialer list.
This collection agency has resumed calling, yet fails to leave a message on my machine. Essentially, they purchase old debts at a minimal cost and attempt to collect, targeting individuals with similar last names, including mine, who do not reside at this location. Through various internet searches, I have uncovered information about this agency, which compiles and harasses numerous phone numbers potentially linked to the person they aim to collect from.
This number is associated with a collection agency, as they repeatedly call inquiring about a 'Susan' who allegedly has debt.
This number frequently appears on my caller ID, but no messages have been left, making it a mystery
Frequent calls are being made by this unknown party, who refuse to disclose their purpose and become aggressive when questioned
The Northland group has been absolutely horrible, displaying extreme rudeness, and should be shut down by the Better Business Bureau.

The individual who called was extremely rude, requesting a faxed copy of POA for my mother without providing context or identifying themselves; they claimed the calls would persist.
