Some of these magazine subscripton companies have been getting slammed by the FTC and AG's of some states (check your AG's website to see if anything is posted). If this company is a "collection agency", don't talk to them on the phone. Get everything in writing. Send them a cease & desist letter, certified mail, return receipt requested, advising them that it is inconvient for them to contact you on the telephone and that they are only to contact you in writing. Demand validation of the debt (that you owe it and that they have a right to collect it). Check with your state to see if they are supposed to be licensed and bonded. Good luck.

The "Do Not Call" registry ONLY applies to TELEMARKETERS. These people are NOT telemarketers, they are a COLLECTION AGENCY. Take Jennifer's advice and file an FTC complaint AND a police report. Go to the FTC website and get familiar with the FCRA and the FDCPA. These are federal laws that deal with credit reporting and debt collections. Also, get a copy of your credit reports from all 3 bureaus, as I am sure you will have derogatory collections info on your reports. This will all have to be disputed.

Report the bums to the FTC and report them for violations of the FDCPA. They are not allowed to call you at 11 pm, nor are they allowed to use threats of violence. Those are considered terroristic threats and should be reported to your local police, pronto! A clear cut case of fraud from the get go. You did the right thing in cancelling your card and getting a new account number. Go to www.budhibbs.com for a sample cease and desist. Get their threats on tape, or better yet ask the police to put a trace on your phone for recording purposes.
