This is an unwanted call for a person who does not reside at this phone number they call constantly and are very rude when asked not to call here.

They are basically an organized crime syndicate...they'll rob their own grandmothers. They are inveterate liars, the lowest form of humanity, the scum of the earth. Just ask the FTC

Whoever this was called my direct line at work, and did not use my full name which is what is on every legal document. He was incredibly hard to understand with a thick Indian accent. When I finally realized it was not one of my customers, I told him to NEVER call me at work and to remove my phone number from their records. He didn't call back.
What a joke...sounds like Portfolio Recovery has some competition after all. They seem to be the most popular scum bags with reports of calls on this site.

Got a call from this unrecognized number. I saved them as a contact under Asset Acceptence LLC after I read all of these post. They never seem to leave a message, therefore, I never seem to pickup the phone. Send all unwanted callers through your answering machine. Then post the numbers on google for others! Legit companies will leave a message! Don't be scammed! Anyone can purchase your credit card numbers online for $45.00. Wake up people!

"you are a telemarketer, and I don't do business with any company that uses telemarketing as a form of advertising" (stolen from a comment on this web site -- I love it). And do not answer name unavailable ever as calls are now starting to say that often.
These people have been calling me for weeks with different area codes. I get alot of calls from people with the same name. They are too lazy to get the right people.
each area code had several numbers from several calls. Each area code has 9,999,999 numbers fyi (7 digits). I am going to copy and paste and post this info for each number that calls me for this web site.
Nothing is going to stop these scammers and lazy collection agency who call everyone with the same name instead of looking up the right one and all we can do is block them or use call forward selective.. DNC does not work when they are robo dialing all possible random numbers. The authorities can not or will not help either.
So, just block them, don't answer unknown calls, and continue using this great site for information to be in control of your own home and cell phone calls. If it turns out that you did not answer a call from someone you know (number not on this site), just call them back. No problem. Its alot of work that I do (checking the number on this web site, blocking the caller, and making my own excel spreadsheet of numbers) but at least I FEEL like I have a little control of the situation. Maybe I'm delusional.
Its our life and we need to take it back.

| Ttom 2012-03-09 21:12:04 Unknown |
These pinheads call from two different area codes, 434 and 301. The "Asset Acceptance" is misleading for debt collectors - they are the "A***s".
| Mark 2012-02-29 19:22:49 Debt Collector |
Had 10 calls in a 2-day period. Never a voicemail, just the constant calls. Caller ID was "Asset Acceptance". Called them today and waited until a male answered. Told him I wanted to know why they had called my home phone 10 times over the last two days. He asked for my home number and when I gave that to him, he said it was a call looking for "Jessica Dickerson" for debt collection. Told him I did not know that person and he agreed to request my number be removed from their database. Hopefully, they're true to their word and remove me!
| Mick 2012-02-25 18:17:14 Unknown |
I got a call from them today. I answered and they asked for someone with a name similar to mine. I said you must have the wrong number, nobody with that name here. The guy apologised. Maybe that will be the end of it.

Here's what you're dealing with.
F.T.C. Fines a Collector of Debt $2.5 Million
New York TimesBy TARA SIEGEL BERNARD | New York Times ? 1/31/2012
The Federal Trade Commission signaled on Monday that it would continue to crack down on debt collectors who harass consumers for money they may not even be legally obligated to pay.
In the second-largest penalty ever levied on a debt collector, the F.T.C. said that Asset Acceptance, one of the nation?s largest debt collection companies, had agreed to pay a $2.5 million civil penalty to settle charges that the company deceived consumers when trying to collect old debts.
The settlement is part of a broader effort to patrol the industry, agency officials said. The commission said it had pursued eight cases related to debt collection companies over the last two years.
?Our attention to debt collection has increased over the past couple of years because the complaints have been on the rise,? said J. Reilly Dolan, assistant director for the F.T.C.?s division of financial practices.
Consumer complaints about debt collection companies consistently rank as the second-highest category among all complaints at the agency, behind identity theft. But in 2010, complaints jumped 17 percent to 140,036, which represented 11 percent of all complaints in the commission?s database, up from 119,540, or about 9 percent of complaints, in 2009.
Asset Acceptance, based in Warren, Mich., was charged with a variety of complaints, including failing to tell consumers that they could no longer be sued for failing to pay some debts because the debts were too old. The company?s collectors also failed to inform consumers that paying even a small portion of the amount owed would revive the debt ? in other words, making a payment would extend the amount of time the collector could legally sue.
Debt collectors have only a certain number of years to sue consumers. The statute of limitations varies by state, but typically ranges from two to 15 years, Mr. Dolan said, beginning when a consumer fails to make a payment. But borrowers often do not realize that making a payment on the old debt may restart the clock.
Among other things, the complaint also contended that the company ? which buys unpaid debts for pennies on the dollar from credit card companies, health clubs and telecommunications and utility providers and tries to collect them ? reported inaccurate information about the consumers to the credit reporting agencies. It also said that Asset Acceptance failed to conduct a reasonable investigation when it was notified by one of the credit agencies that a debt was being disputed. Moreover, the complaint says that the company used illegal collection practices and that it continued to try to collect debts that consumers disputed even though the company failed to verify that the debt was valid.
The proposed settlement with Asset Acceptance requires the company to tell consumers whose debt may be too old to be collected that it will not sue. It also requires the company to investigate disputed debts and to ensure it has a reasonable basis for its claims before going after the consumer. It is also barred from placing debt on credit reports without notifying the consumer.
The penalty ?is certainly a slap on the wrist and probably a little bit more, but it really depends on what the F.T.C. does to enforce this in the coming months and years,? said Robert Hobbs, deputy director at the National Consumer Law Center and author of ?Fair Debt Collection? (National Consumer Law Center, 1987). But ?it is a great step forward. It is not self-enforcing, and it has a mechanism for the F.T.C. to follow up.?
Still, while the settlement requires the company to take more responsibility for checking the statute of limitations before it contacts consumers, he said most states did not require debt collectors to do that. That means it is up to consumers to know the rules on the statute of limitations, which, he said, can be ?an enormously complex legal question.?
In a statement, Asset Acceptance said that the settlement ended an F.T.C. investigation that began nearly six years ago, and that the company did not admit to any of the allegations. ?We are pleased to have this matter behind us, and to have clarity on the F.T.C.?s policies and expectations of the debt collection industry,? said Rion Needs, president and chief executive of Asset Acceptance.
In March, another leading debt collection company, West Asset Management, agreed to pay $2.8 million, the largest civil penalty ever levied by the F.T.C., to settle charges that its collection techniques violated the law. The commission charged that West Asset?s collectors often called consumers multiple times a day, sometimes using rude and abusive language, about accounts that were not theirs. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and the F.T.C. now share enforcement authority for debt collection companies, though the new bureau has a power that the F.T.C. did not: it can write new rules for debt collectors. But F.T.C. officials said that debt collection enforcement would remain a top priority.
