301-882-9950, 425-984-6246, 425-984-6248, 866-212-7408, 866-212-7848, 888-745-9332 are most of the phone numbers the Receivable Performance Management, LLC (Collection Agency) are using. They are located at 1930 220th Street SE Suite 101, Bothell WA 98021-8410 and are also using a PO Box 768 with the same City, State & Zip address, too. The Founder is Howard L. George and he runs a website: //ReceivablesPerformance.com for gathering Clients to keep them in business. They do use a Demon Dialer of some sort to "Hunt Down" targets who may answer their phone which is why you rarely get a live person on the calling end when you answer. To combat these types, there are a few tactics. First, when you answer your phone, be sure you are NOT doing something important (especially driving) and wait for the live person to get on the line as this may take a while. Say hello politely several times so the Caller will FEEL comfortable they are talking to someone who is "Civil" enough to deal with. When they do respond as a live person, your FIRST QUESTION will always be: WHO ARE YOU TRYING TO CALL, PLEASE? without yelling at them. DO NOT TELL THEM WHO YOU ARE, they called you looking for someone so find out who they are looking for, first. 9 times out of ten, they will have the wrong number but you MUST inform them that you have had your phone number for so many months or that it is a relatively NEW number for you so that these people will FEEL you are telling them the truth and not someone trying to hide from debt collection practices. If you are NOT the person they are looking for, DO NOT lead them to believe that you may know that person, either. It is NOT your responsibility to be contacting someone else for them. If they continue calling you, inform them that if they continue to keep calling you (especially on your cellphone), you will treat this as harrassment and will report them to the phone company (forget about the police for now). The phone company has a legal department who handles this problem. The Second Step: If you ARE the person they are trying to contact, YOU MUST ASK them politely to tell you what address they have on file for you. Do not give them any new information about you no matter how they TRY to coherse into doing so. If the address IS correct AND it is a CURRENT address that they can reach you at; YOU MUST tell them to send EVERYTHING IN WRITING to you at that address on record. Ask them to sign their letter to you. Never, NEVER, handle transactions over the phone such as giving them additional information, especially where you bank at or give them credit card numbers, or where you work, etc. When they call again, wait for the live person (again) to inform them you are waiting for their wirtten demands in the mail BEFORE you can respond any further BECAUSE YOU ARE REQUIRED TO VERIFY THEIR CLAIM FIRST before proceeding any further. You are still letting them know that you are a reasonable & civil person to deal with, so politely excuse yourself until you have THEIR documentation in your hands. If RPM rebuts with excuses to continue before you have a reasonable amount of time to validate their claim, you may politely let them know that you know HOW to reach MR. GEORGE and his company and to please be careful with what (the Caller) says for you may have to use that against (the Caller) at at later time. This type of caution usually stops them from proceeding unless they are trying to upset you. It's an attempt to get you to lose control which you already have over them. You can also inform them that this call may be TRANSCRIBED (not recorded) in case you need it for a later date. You want them to hang up on YOU, not the other way around. This is how You maintain control over them. Third: When you actually have their written demand for payment, hopefully you will have their name and best of all, their signature as well; now is the time to do your research on verifying IF the debt is genuine. There are all sorts of information on the web for fighting for your rights. Use them. Check to see if the Statute Of Limitations had expired. Check websites for help on writing proper letters such as legal Demands to Validate Debt. Most importantly, always write (never communicate over the phone) with the intent to use the U.S. Mails with the Certified Delivery WITH a "Return Receipt" mailed back to you at YOUR address. It is much better to use their (RPM's) PO Box address because it is difficult for the RPM Rep to skip signing the delivery receipt when it is at the Post Office for pick up. When you use the Mails, you maintain your protection and have evidence to use against them when it comes time to prosecute them for violating the laws. And they will be breaking many laws. Do your own research for yourself, do not shrug it off because knowledge is power! It will build your confidence when someone else tried to use bully tactics on you again. Read, read, read, write, write, write. Use the laws, it will stop them EVEN IF YOU DID HAVE A DEBT. The most satisfying part of all this is when you win your case and the actual valid debt amount is awarded on your behalf. Now, go out there as an American Citizen and know the Law.

Called my home at 8:30 in the morning looking for someone I don't know. When I told the gentleman he had the wrong number he still persisted that I should know the person he was looking for still told him do not know this person and he still persisted as if I was lying. Very bad way to do business if this is a business. You need to learn to take no for an answer!!!!
