National Recoveries is a collection agency.  A lady by the name of cathy leaves messages but does not let you know that she is with a collection agency.

Interesting. When I first got my home phone number after moving to my current address, I bought a large ticket item at a local store that had to be delivered. During the purchase/scheduling process the salesman asked for my phone number to put me in their computer database and/or do a search to see if I was already in it. My number popped up and the guy got an odd look on his face and asked if I was "Mrs. So-and-so"? And I said no, so he put my information in and (I assume) took my number off whatever account came up when he did his search. Not too long afterwards, I got a few calls asking for a "Mr. or Mrs. So-and-so" (same name) and told the callers that they had the wrong number, it no longer belonged to anyone of that name. I also got a threatening (and profane) call from what I assumed to be a private citizen demanding to speak to some man (he gave a first name) about getting his money back, or else. I told him that whoever he wanted no longer had this number but he accused me of "covering" for them and demanded I deliver his message. (Thankfully, he never called back.) So it's funny that I'd now be getting calls from a collections agency - presumably they're looking for the same people, the ones who had this number before I did... but I've had it for 10 years! Yeah, good luck collecting on that old debt, National Recoveries, if your contact information is already a decade old. :)

Yes this horrible Cathy woman has been stalking me as well. I've told them (not Cathy but someone else with them) that I was not this Michelle person and yet they continue to call. It's ridiculous. You can find their website (along with this Cathy woman's horrible Jabba the Hut picture) by googling (763) 754-7653.

Here are some helpful websites which offer advice on dealing with abusive debt collectors:

I just received a call asking for a Tara Thompson, right last name but don't know a Tara.  They just randomly call anyone with that name and it makes me mad.  I did call back and this guy answered and I said I was calling for ext. 632.  He asked for my phone number and I reluctantly gave it to him.
I instantly said, Tara Thompson?  I said I have no idea who that is.  He nicely said he would let her (the girl who originally called) know that she had the wrong number.  It's pretty much a scam as far as I'm concerned.
