BEWARE IT’S A DEBT COLLECTOR!!!  EVEN WORSE, IT'S A ZOMBIE.   ZOMBIES ARE OLD DEBT THAT THE CREDITOR HAS SOLD--for pennies on the dollar-- to companies such as ASSET ACCEPTANCE CORP.   THEY HARASS AND THREATENED PEOPLE IN TO PAYMENT AGREEMENTS.   THE TRICK IS, THE ZOMBIES DON'T HAVE ANY LEGAL RECOURSE TO COLLECT ON SAID DEBT. THIS IS WHAT MOST PEOPLE DON'T KNOW.  THEY WILL TRY TO PUT NEGATIVE MARKS ON YOUR CREDIT HISTORY, BUT ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS CONTEST IT AND THE CREDIT HISTORY COMPANIES WILL REMOVE IT.  DO NOT CALL THEIR TOLL FREE NUMBERS. REMEMBER, OLD DEBT THAT IS MORE THAN 7 YEARS OLD THAT HAS PASSED THE STATUE OF LIMITATIONS.   YOU ARE SAFE AS LONG AS YOU DON'T AGREE TO A PAYMENT AGREEMENT.  ONCE YOU ENTER INTO A PAYMENT AGREEMENT WITH THESE ZOMBIES, THE DEBT BECOMES BRAND NEW AND LEGAL. THEY ARE CALLED ZOMBIES BECAUSE THEY RESSURECT OLD DEBT FROM THE DEAD.

I got calls fromthis number, sometimes at 8 AM on Sundays - not cool. I am not the person they are looking for. I rent and they are looking for the former tenent. Please stop calling!!!

AACC has been calling me on/ff  since 2001.  My phone number is listed.  I've spoken with them and told them I'm not the person they are looking for and I don't know him, but the calls keep coming.

HERE IS A NEW NUMBER FOR THESE PEOPLE. 804-234-9037. THIS IS AN UNLISTED CELL PHONE THAT DIDN'T HAVE ANY INFO ON IT YET SO I WANTED TO GET IT ON HERE. FEEL FREE TO CALL THIS NUMBER AS MANY TIMES A DAY AS YOU LIKE. I HOPE TO HARRASS THEM AS MUCH AS THEY DO YOU AND I.

I NOT KNOW THEM. CALLS COME FAST. I MAKE NO PROMISE. THEY SHOULD RUN THROUGH CORN FIELD BACKWARDS OR WORSE YET HIT BEACH DOING 60. THEY NOT KNOW WHO THEY DEALING WITH. I VERY SMART MAN. SMELL MY FINGER.

Our caller ID shows 248-220-8709...We moved about 2 years ago and received a new phone number. Ever since we have been getting calls for a man we do not know. I have explained this numerous times to numerous callers to no avail. There has got to be something we can do or someone we can contact to try to stop these calls. It is VERY FRUSTRATING to be harassed over something we have not done and apparently have no control over. One guy I spoke with got so nasty with me when all I said was "can you please take us off of your list. We do not know this person but we keep receiving these calls?" He actually yelled at me and then proceeded to hang up on ME!!!

This number has called on three times since September 4th, 2008. I always answer the phone and then hang up when they start the crap about "remaining on the line acknowledges that you are J***** T*****" (I would love to post the names of the people that the debt collecters call for, since we get NUMEROUS phone calls WEEKLY for these dead beats!!!). Very annoying.

this number keeps calling me 248-220-8707. my number is on the do not call list.

They called for the first time today - left me the 877 768 9844 number and the lady said her name was Heather.  I have no debts, not even a mortgage or car loan.  When I asked if this was a collection agency, she blatantly lied and said NO.  If she calls again I will tell her to place my number on the DO NO CALL list because I am well aware this is a collection agency!!

I have been receiving calls from this company for about a year now, they call from this # and a 707 area code #.  They are trying to collect for a debt they say I own from 1993.  I have gotten into it with them serveral times, as I now work for a bankruptsy attorney, and told them that what they are doing is illegal and that if they don't stop I will pursue damages.  The calls fromt he 707 # stopped and 2 months later the calls from the 248# started... worthless pieces of crap, get a REAL job!

I just save their CallerID number as "Spam" and just don't take the calls OR any calls from a "248" areacode.

This number has been calling asking for me for over a year now. I don't know who is calling so I am not inclined to speak to them. Then they start yammering and leaving messages, "if this so-and-so, by continuing to listen to this message, you are acknowleging that your are so-and-so..", What load of BS is that? What are they hoping to accomplish? If they are a debt collector, I don't owe any debt that isn't being paid or has been paid. And if they are, I certainly wouldn't give them the time of day. Yeah, they start off as rude and annoying, lets give into them and start a long relationship of rude an annoying. Probably not!

hahaha do you want to stop these a**holes dead in their tracks!!?It works all the time.
Go to walmart,or a truck stop and buy a airhorn,they cost about $10.00
When these people call tell them,to please hold and your lawyer MS Sirene would like to talk to them.As they hold blast them with the horn,it will make their day,funny as s**t

they won't stop calling even when you tell them that they're calling the wrong person.....anyways now I just pick up and put my phone away 'cause I don't want to hear their crap.......

claims to be Andra Andrews, asks to talk to said name when you say no you may not she says why the "hell" not, I hang up, calls back, threatens children, non-stop phone calls, all hours of nights and mornings.  Crazy!  I don't have any old debt that I know of this crazy could be collecting on, I think she is a fraud.

They are very very rude and threatening! They have left a message on my voice mail that says "you confirm you are the person... by listening to this message." or some such garbage.

Also, we are registered with Do not Call. So is it legal for them to call us? Hmmmm?

Someone called me from this number, and he was very rude.  I don't even have any debt.  They apparently called me because the previous person to have my phone number has outstanding debt.

this number keeps calling and will not get it that they have a wrong number/

Calling looking for a Melissa, I keep telling them that this number no longer belongs to whoever it is they look for. They keep calling. Thank goodness for called ID

This company called my daughter looking for me but they said that they were a "friend".  Of course, she knew that anyone calling me on her number wasn't a friend because I don't even live in the same state.  Now they have my cell phone and I imagine the fun is just starting.  When they called my daughter I had asked for a copy of the bill that I supposedly owe, now four months later I have nothing.  When the lady called tonight I told her that I'm not dealing with them and that if I truly owe them money then they need to send me a copy of the charges.  She got ugly and started asking stuff about work at which point I hung up on her.  This smacks of harrassment and sounds like we could get a class-action suit going.

This number has called twice today already and will not leave a message when calling.  The first call was at 9am, the second at 12:30pm.  Clearly they are persistent.

Keeps calling twice a day have a new number and told them they have the wrong number, but they keep calling, won't leave a message though.

This is an old debt that was cancelled out, and by Arizona law being over six years old cannot be collected on.  In fact, this debt had been transferred to collectors in Florida, California, Colorado and Georgia.  They call and threaten and I send them the section from the Arizona Revised Statutes, in which they all say does not apply to them because they are not in Arizona.  Once you threaten them by stating you will call your state Attorney General they stop and transfer it to someone else.

they called my mother-in-law today, asking for me. she just had a brain aneurysm, no joke here. this really upset me. i called them back and had them remove her. told them to contact me via snail mail if they need to correspond but not to call her.

we'll see if this works. FWIW, the lady on the phone did not go psycho on me. we'll see if it worked.

They will call and they will also send you a supposedly time-sensitive settlement letter.  They will try to get you to pay 30% of what they say you owe.  But remember this:  They only paid pennies on the dollar to get the account.  That means that you can ALWAYS get at least a 90% discount, even if they try to say no at first.  They will negotiate down and still make money.

There is, however, one catch:  As with all of these bottom-feeding losers, it is almost impossible to get them to put in writing for you that the account is paid.  If you pay them anything, they can just sell your account again to the next agency, who will also try to collect.  If you have no proof that you paid it, you are out of luck.

So, in the end, it is better never to pay anything to any collection agency for any reason, never ever admit that you owe anything if you do, and preferably never talk to them.  Just let it ride past the statute of limitations.

Watch web sites such as this too, since they lurk here and post on these occasionally telling you that something terrible will happen to you if you don't pay up.  Just don't fall for it.

today november 21, 'o8, received call from  249-220-8707 who left a funny message on my telephone saying "if you are Jamey  and you accept this call..." I am an attorney and when you get a call of this type it probably has been written by an attorney.  There is a statute of limitation on debt collection which varies from state to state.  But when you talk to these people, the time starts running again because almost to a certaintity, they are recording or otherwise evidencing your response to the debt. Theirs is a dirty business and it attracts a lot of tough character who play a lot of games because they make a commission. If you do talk to these people remind them that are in violation of the Federal Fair Debt Collection practices and you have their number and you surely will file suit against them and their company if they continue the many, many calls at different times of the day. Just don't talk to them and good luck!

i hired a lawyer right out of law school; i gives them a chance and a start at it. i had him file a law suit agaist them for $5000.00 and they settled out of court for $3000.00; when he checked there records they settle out of court 90% of the time. also they make off of these "Zombie Depts" close to $500,000,000.00; yes 500 million a year off of these old depts. they are not going anywhere as long as people keep falling for there threats. now what they did was sell my 18 year old dept to another dept collector. i called the lawyer back and he is ready to file again agaisnt them; if this keeps up i will be able to buy the flat screen TV i want. i keep the people at the court house employeed; and they love it when they see it's against a Zombie dept collector. you can't lose; and give a begining lawyer a chance

My home phone is unlisted and I keep getting a call from this number 1-248-220-8707 asking for Lisa A. Garcia.  This person doesn't exist and never has had this number.  I want AACC to stop calling my house.  I have tried anwering this call and cannot get through to anyone.

I have been getting these calls for well over a year now. I answered about the 3rd call I got and only heard a recording. I hung up and called them back and recorded a message for them. Saying who I was and that I was not the person they are looking for. It makes no difference. I get call after call. I told them to stop harrassing me and PUT ME ON YOUR DO NOT CALL LIST but it doesn't do any good. You can't reach them by phone when they call or when you call them back. They say they are tryhing to collect a debt but it isn't from me. How on earth do you stop someone????
