Block the number and send a certified cease‑and‑desist letter to force the agency to stop calling. Keep detailed logs of each call, including date, time, and any recorded messages, because they can be useful if you need to file a complaint with the FTC or your state attorney general. Request a debt‑collection verification in writing before you share any personal information; legitimate collectors must provide it within five days. Use your phone’s built‑in call‑blocking feature or a third‑party app to filter future calls. Report persistent harassment to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau for further action.
It's misleading to suggest that people losing their homes or struggling financially are doing so intentionally, as many are facing unforeseen circumstances like high oil prices.
Following Alfalfa's advice, I plan to send those letters tomorrow morning. The behavior of SCI employees is appalling, particularly given that I've informed them repeatedly I don't owe them anything and have asked to be left alone. Despite this, they continue to call, with four calls from them today alone and three yesterday. This harassment from a collection agency, aimed at gathering information about others, is unacceptable. I can only assume they must pay their employees well, as I couldn't tolerate bothering innocent people. It's absolutely infuriating!
Its quite amuzing since I know joe brown personnally, sentry is a terrible workplace, but I know they have a legal department and they dont hesistate to sue, I have sued alot of people myself when I worked there
I recently received a call from this number, but I didn't answer, as I didn't recognize the number, and only a few people have my cell phone number; they left a message claiming to have an important message for someone, but it seemed suspicious.
It is deplorable to encounter such hypocritical behavior
My sister recieved several calls on her cell phone asking for me, claiming to be from sentry, but i have no reason to be in a collection agency and my credit history is perfect, they need to get their informations correct
Apparently, you can stop these annoying calls by sending them a Cease Communication letter, and if they continue to call, they will face fine of up to $1,000.00 PER violaton
This company, Sentry, has been harrasing us for 16 years due to a mistaken identity, and has shown no effort to correct their errors, instead resorting to aggresive tactics.
Repeatedly, they've been calling me, the first time they asked for my husband by his first name only and I told them he wasnt avaliable, can I take a mesage, they were extremly rude and refused to leave a mesage.
Despite a long-standing business relationship, the caller's identity remains unknown, causing frustration and prompting a request for transparency.
Borrowing money without repaying it is essentially theft; if you honor your obligations, you won't receive collection calls, so it's not the collectors who are pathetic, but rather those who don't pay their bills
Sentry Credit's automated messages have been flooding my inbox, always anonymous and always requesting a call back to 1-800-608-2581, which raises questions about the ethics of their business practices and the kind of people who work in such industries.
A message was received stating that numerous messages had been left and now a business decision could be made on my behalf, which raises the question of whether anyone else has experienced a similar situation and found a resolution.
Sentry collections in everett, wa, left a threatning message saying they would make desisions for me if they didnt hear back, kinda scary
The address associated with this number is 2809 Grand Avenue.
A call was received from the number 425-257-9500, with the caller ID displaying SCI; a voice message from Joe Brown was left, stating he liked the message and assured it wasn't a sales call, requesting a callback to 800-608-2581.
I recieved a call with a bussines offer, but they didnt even know my name, they asked for Vickie.
After calling back, a mesage from Sentry was played, it seemed to be regarding a debt collector, posibley due to a car loan
