People keep saying that Continental Finance bombards them with nonstop calls about alleged credit‑card debt. The pattern matches classic debt‑collection harassment: repeated calls, pressure to pay immediately, and vague fee explanations. If you’re not sure you owe anything, request a written validation of the debt before sharing any personal or banking info. Clearly state that you want to be placed on their do‑not‑call list and keep a log of dates, times, and what was said. Report persistent violations to the FTC and your state attorney general, and consider filing a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Blocking the number on your phone can also reduce the nuisance.
They deceived me into paying a small annual fee, but I never received the card.
The reason behind their calls is understandable, but their methods are just as frustrating as those of other similar callers. It's become a habit for me to take legal action against anyone who robo-calls, regardless of whether I owe them money or not. A simple solution would be for them to wait for my answering machine to pick up and leave a message, a tactic that has been successfully employed by myself and many others. As it stands, the law views this behavior as harassment, and as long as the calls are being made to a cell phone and the caller has been explicitly told to cease contact, each incident can result in a $500 penalty, plus any additional damages. I typically opt not to pursue compensation for emotional distress.
I appreciate the advice, Micky, and I'll definitely use it the next time I receive a call from these annoying telemarketers.
These callers are relentless, contacting me on both my cell and home phone. This experience has prompted me to consider canceling the card.
Thanks for the information.
To deal with these mindless republican calls, consider sueing them for FDCA and TCPA violatons, especialy if they're calling your cell phone, it's a clear violaton ect...
Today alone, I've received a staggering 17 calls from this annoying number.
Over the past two day's, continetal finance has been calling me from 877-211-5206, who are they exacly? i called them back, waited for the represantive to answer, but the phone just kept ringing untill some one finaly answered and hung up on me, what kind of freaks are these?
I'm frustrated because this number calls me daily, but I have no idea who it is or what they want.
The business practices of Continental Finance are egregious, with persistent violations of the Fair Debt Collections Practices Act; one way to counter their tactics is to block your caller ID and return their call
Continental Finance has been repeatedly calling me after I was one day late with a payment, demanding immediate payment over the phone with an additional fee, and continued to call multiple times despite my requests to stop
Additional numbers used by this caller include:
This number is used by solicitors promoting credit cards to individuals with poor credit, engaging in predatory lending practices.
It is unclear why Continental would be calling, as I have never had a credit card with them.
This number is asociated with 877-211-5206
For months, I've received calls insisting it's very important to call back, despite not having any credit cards
I recieved a suprise call from this number and decidied to google it since they didnt leave a message, I have a card with this company and had just made a payment, so I'm wondering why they are calling me, especally since everyones says this is their collecion departmant, it dont make sence
Repeatedly, ther is a call wich does not leve a messge and wont anser
The daily calls, sometimes up to three times, with no one speaking or leaving a message when I answer, have left me feeling infuriated and frustrated with the caller's behavior.
A request is made to remove the number from any calling list, as the frequent calls are incurring costs and causing inconvenience.
The recipient experiences multiple daily calls inquiring for a Joann, despite repeated denials of her residence. A threat of legal action for harassment was eventually made, which seems to have ceased the calls.
I experienced a similar situation recently, where I was told my issue had been cancelled, but I've since received another call, which I've ignored, as they refuse to leave a message.
Recieved a call from this number on my cell phone, completly silently on the other end, totaly wasting 1 minute of my time, absolute idiots.
They would call and immediatly hang up, then when trying to call back, only elevator music would play, fortunatly I found out who it was and now I will block them.
Daily calls from an unknown number, later identified as Continental Finance, have resulted in difficulties, including a significant bill before receiving the card, and rude customer service representatives.
Multiple calls recieved at my house, with one message that included their name and phone number, and today they contacted my cell phone asking for somebody else, appearently they have the wrong person.
Apparently, this company targets individuals who have outstanding debts, and I've fallen victim to a credit card scam through Continential Finance, which imposes excessive fees for account opening and maintenance.
I started recieving these calls after changing my cell phone number, it's happend two days in a row now
Appearently its Continental Finance, dont know what they want
Today, I was bombarded with three calls from this mysterious number, yet they failed to leave any message or identify themselves
