Block the number quickly to cut the noise. When a debt collector calls repeatedly, start by adding the 905‑671‑4151 line to your phone’s block list or use a carrier‑level blocker. Keep a record of each call—date, time, and what was said—so you can file a formal complaint with the provincial regulator or the national Do Not Call service. If the calls persist, send a certified cease‑and‑desist letter demanding only written contact. Consider third‑party call‑blocking apps for extra protection, and never share banking or personal details until you verify the debt’s legitimacy.
If you do deside to pay them, make sure you get somthing in writting, google some tips on how to protect yourself from them, dont tell them anything about your job or bank
Calling them back on their 800 number and muting the call has provided amusement; however, beware of potential hostility and personal attacks, although repeated callbacks can be therapeutic.
It's appalling to see someone lecture others on getting a job without understanding their circumstances, as I've experienced firsthand with my own financial struggles despite being a hardworking individual.
A threatening message was left on my phone, mentioning something about "going soprano", which has led me to consider involving the authorities due to the harassing nature of the call.
The individual behind this number buys overdue accounts from companies but lacks information about them, rendering collection efforts futile.
Finding humor in the situation, one might consider posting ads on platforms like Craigslist using the scammer's number, thereby inundating them with responses and possibly deterring their activities.
To stop these calls, it is suggested that you fax a document with your number, debtor number, and a request to be contacted only through mail, as this is a legal requirement, and complaints can be filed against non-compliant companies.
Due to a mix-up with a previous resident's debt, I've been receiving constant calls and messages meant for someone else
Appresheate the advice
Instructed my debt specialist to settle the matter directly, thus avoiding any commission for MJR.
MJR is a joke, they dont represent their employers well, I went to a debt solutions company, and they just said they dont accept proposals, wtf, a collections agency that wont deal with a debt solution company
Rather than acumulating more debt, considder getting a job insted of beeing lazy and doing nothing
Surprisingly, a good approch is to be playful with these callers, try messing with them by placing the reciever under a pillow or reading from religous texts, I alsways keep a copy of the bible, quran, and book of morman near by, dont let them get to you, you can even tell them you've filed for bankrupcy and laugh it off, ther are plenty of ways to have fun with these people, especialy if you're prepared
Having just moved to a new area and gotten a new land line, i've been bombarded with collecion calls for unknown people, despiete repeated requests to stop, the messages left are also pretty rude!!!!
The antics of Jason Rice, the apparent head of this group, are quite entertaining when he loses his temper and leaves long rants on voice mail, which is a common occurrence despite his occasional attempts at being diplomatic.
MJR Collection agency has been calling this number for almost a year, despite being informed that the person they are attempting to reach no longer resides here. Their agents have been rude and harassing, threatening to continue calling, which they have done.
The caller resorted to using intimidation tactics, making false claims about account compromise.
The employees at MJR seem to lack manners and listning skills, which is quite unproffesional
The connection between certain individuals and this number seems suspicious, and rather than engaging in unproductive activities, it would be more beneficial to focus on legitimate and constructive pursuits.
As a victim of MJR Collection agency's aggressive tactics, I can attest to the difficulties of dealing with their threatening calls while trying to manage debt.
They called and asked for some guy name Michael Robarb, but I dont know him, and they keep calling me even tho I told them many times that I dont know who he is, I'm going to report them for harrasment if they call again.
It is obvious that you are a bill collector, get a real job, wil ya?
Debt collectors have been using aggressive and persuasive tactics when calling from this number.
The complaints about M.J.R'S are not about people struggling to pay bills, but rather about the company's unprofessional tactics, including personal rudeness and verbal abuse, which is unacceptable.
Its amusing to see how people blame collection agencies, when its them who dont pay their bills, you should take responsibilty for your own action, or maybe you just dont have a job, thats why you have alot of time to write angry post
To everyone,
Apparently Jason Rice is the senior telephone terrorist at MJR, thats what the initials of the firm mean, i think
MJR Collections keeps calling my cell phone regarding an old cable bill from Cogeco, which I don't think I should pay due to the company's failure to provide a functioning service during my 6-month subscription.
My wife received calls from a woman claiming to be from a collection service, looking for my nephew; we've advised them not to call again since we have no information about his whereabouts.
This number has made multiple calls with no one on the other end.
