Aaaa Inc: Collection Services. 04/26/10 Unethical practices
(reported by Bonecrusher123 at Citysearch.com)
Late last year I was the victim of identity theft. AAA Collections contacted me in an attempt to collect some of the debt accumulated from this theft. I told them of the theft, and they said it would be resolved after they received a copy of both the police file and manuscript from the bank verifying the theft. I hand-delivered both documents to their place of business.
A few weeks went by and I noticed that $160 was missing from my bank account. They managed to tap into my new checking account to collect on four checks they knew were fraudulent at $40 each.
I contacted them and asked if they were going to reimburse this money. "No." was their reply.
I then contacted South Dakota Consumer Protection in Pierre. I told the attorney the whole story.   She urged me to file a report.
I was very happy and relieved that I had someone on my side. AAA Collections basically pulled money out of my account under mistaken circumstances, and then unethically decided not to give it back, thinking I had no other recourse but to just accept the loss.
I knew I was in the right and I wanted AAA Collections to know my intentions, so I called them and told them I was going to file a report on them. They basically told me to go ahead and the phone conversation was over.
It wasn't even 15 minutes later I received a phone call. It was AAA Collections. They now agreed to reimburse the money. They also told me that I could go ahead and file the report but to make it clear in the report that their stance now was that they were willing to resolve the issue.
So basically they were crapping their pants!!! kiss off.  Unethical and unscrupulous people.


Problematic Behaviors:
There are some known cases not compliant to the expected behavior.
(Morishita & Jinmei December 16, 2008)              
Internet-Draft    Common misbehavior AAAA Queries

 This returns a response with the RCODE being 3
  (NXDOMAIN) to a query for a AAAA RR, indicating it does not have any
  RRs of any type for the queried name.  In fact, apparently returns all queries.
Resolver may immediately give up.  Even if the resolver retries a query considers this as a fatal
  error. An example of this case was found by looking for a AAAA RR of
  www.css.v
4.2 Other authoritative servers return a response with the RCODE 4
  (NOTIMP), indicating the servers do not support the requested type.

  This case is less harmful than the previous one. Redundant queries for AAAA
  in the future will waste network bandwidth and
  increase the load of the authoritative server.
  This can be seen by trying to ask for a AAAA RR of "ftp-mozilla.gftp-
  mozilla.netscape.com," which is an alias of ftp.mozilla.org, at 205.188.139.70.
Again, these servers apparently ignore all queries.
Some other type of authoritative servers return broken responses to
  AAAA queries. AAAA
  of "www.gslb.mainichi.co.jp" at 210.173.172.2.  This
  looks like the IPv4 address of the queried host name.  That is, the RR in the answer section would
  be described like this: www.mainichi.co.NG/600_AAAA_210.158.208.73

  which is, of course, bogus (or at least meaningless).

The same behavior can be found with the name vip.alt.ihp.sony.com
  (which is an alias of www.sony.co.jp) at 210.139.255.204.
  BIND 8a separate response with the RCODE 2 (SERVFAIL)

OK, try searching on the Web for BBB, the better business bureau in the state of Washington.  Someone filed report and doesn't look good. Some guy is Jack T. Wolf. There is stuff online about AAAA that doesn't sound right, but you have to find out for yourself. That's all what found.

Get it together before the wagons circle. This case looks like an expanding thing around similar citiations. Files might "disappear" before anyone acts. That would leave nothing but loss for the wagons. If you can work fast, find somone you trust who can handle this kind of diversion,
sleight of hand, and inferred intimidation.

You are not responsible for the debt, but you may experience difficulties convincing the debt collector of this. Under federal law, the debt collector has certain responsibilities in investigating your situation and may be liable for failure to cooperate.

Abuse of telephone lines is illegal. Debt collectors can not violate specfic laws regarding when and how they contact you. If you are not the debtor, you have your own legal remedies. Disreputable companies buy large numbers of miscellaneous old debts from other collection agencies and may keep demanding payment from you, even if you have nothing to do with the debt or debtor. They know that if they hassle and threaten 1000 people mercilessly, perhaps 10 of these victims will pay some amount (say, $500) out of fear or confusion -- That's a cool 5000 bucks just for making a bunch of hostile prank calls. Quite a racket!

There are also fraudulent companies who call and attempt to obtain personal information, especially social secuirty numbers and credit card accounts. This info can then be used to commit a variety of serious interstate and international crimes. It is a serious and growing menace.

Know your rights. Learn to recognize abusive collection practices. Even if you owe a debt, a collector owes you fair treatment and respect for your privacy.

Also, be aware that even if the collector's conduct does not exactly match the language of the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, that collector may still be liable for its conduct under federal and state laws.

Often the first contact with the debt collector is a telephone call from a representative, a pre-recorded message asking you to call a mysterious toll-free number, This is already a law violation and can be actionable.

Start and keep a file. At the first contact from a collection agency, start a file. Your file should include dates and times of phone conversations, and pre-recorded messages the collector leaves on your voice mail.

Don't be coerced. Never pay a bill you don't owe just to get the collector to "go away." Any payment of the debt is considered an acknowledgement that you are responsible. Even if you pay, that will not erase a negative entry on your credit report.

Complain about abusive collection practices. Under the federal FDCPA, a collector is not allowed to make idle threats, express or implied (for example, "We must get your payment no later than the day after tomorrow"), or use abusive or profane language. A collector should not discuss your account with third parties or use the phone to harass you.

Military members should make an appointment with the local Judge Advocate General's office if contacted by a collector. The Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA), previously the Soldiers' and Sailors' Civil Relief Act (SSCRA), provides protections for military members

The FTC and the IRS have been investigating debt consolidation fraud. Seek legal help. You may sue in state or federal court. The federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) sets the national standard for collection agencies. The FDCPA, enforced by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), prohibits abusive collection tactics that harass you or invade your privacy. (15 USC §§1692-1695)

DEBT COLLECTORS:

May not call you repeatedly or use the phone to harass you. Among the many things a collector is not allowed to do is threaten you with a lawsuit just to get you to pay the debt. They cannot exchange (with other agencies) information about individuals who allegedly owe a debt; cannot distribute a list of alleged debtors; cannot advertise a debt for sale; cannot compile a list of debtors for sale to others; annot leave messages with third parties, asking them to have the debtor call the collector.

Phone numbers change frequently. Frustrations are heightened by the inability often to speak to a "live" person to explain mistaken identity. Recorded messages often include only a toll free number without the name of a personal contact. The PRC raised these and other concerns when the FCC was considering whether or not to allow debt collectors to leave prerecorded messages on cell phones. --
In a related matter, the FTC issued an advisory opinion regarding the dispute rules as they relate to debt collectors that report information to credit bureaus.

Some weird company or phonies keep calling and leave stupid messages. Some idiots keep calling asking about some criminal with a name I can't even understand. Refuse to stop calling no matter what. I think a con artist might owe them money -- or they are. I have no idea. Jerks.
