I got a call from this number for the third time. First time Ms. Alan called insisted I was someone in Ks named tracy, told me I owed Capital one over 3,000. when I told her NO I DID NOT she assured me I did. Then she had the nerve to get upset with me because I told her I was in OK NOT kS. The next call was a few days later from a woman that was  nicer she said ok when I told her I was not that person.  Today a man called I told him he was harassing  me that I had told them that I was not that person and when would they stop calling me they assured me they would call until they could confirm I was not the person in KS. Next step for me is to have my attorney call them and tell them to stop calling.

Someone calls my kids cell everyday from this number called it back actually spoke to someone very rude advised wrong number still keep calling.....these kind of people need to get a real job

Threatening messages left on machine about deadlines & "don't do what you did last month".  That refers to an online payment to the cardholder.  I have never received a single piece of correspondence from Compu Credit & I didn't even know who they represented until I found this website.  I have correspondence from Tribute with offers to prevent charge offs, so who are these people?

Repeated calls from this number to my home phone and now my cell phone.  I see that prior callers identify this as being Compu Credit for ASPIRE VISA.  Don't have an Aspire VISA.  Never did.  I have returned the call to this number and it is not Compu Credit.  It is for Action Card - a company that closed its credit card division over 8 months ago.  I am in the midst of a lawsuit filed against them for fraud and for which I am represented by an attorney.  They are not permitted to contact someone directly who is represented by an attorney.  This call came from some illiterate named Eleanor who said "I don't care" and hung up.

The way to deal with these people is to post their personal phone numbers, and contact them directly.


Because CompuCredit (the parent company) is traded publicly, they must file quarterly reports to the SEC (securities and exchange commission),
 + these reports are a matter of public record!

Subprime Credit Card Marketer to Provide At Least $114 Million in Consumer Redress to Settle FTC Charges of Deceptive Conduct

CompuCredit Corporation, a company marketing Visa and MasterCard credit cards to consumers in the subprime credit market, has agreed to reverse fees charged to eligible consumers? accounts to settle allegations that it violated federal law. It is estimated that the redress program will result in more than $114 million in credits to consumer accounts. Eligible consumers whose current balances are less than the amount of credits to be applied will receive an estimated $3.7 million in cash refunds.

In a federal court complaint filed in June 2008, the Federal Trade Commission alleged that CompuCredit engaged in deceptive conduct in connection with marketing credit cards. The FTC also alleged that Jefferson Capital Systems, LLC, a debt collection company wholly-owned by CompuCredit, engaged in deceptive conduct in marketing credit cards as part of its debt collection activities and engaged in abusive practices while collecting debts.

?This settlement is a big win for consumers,? said Lydia B. Parnes, Director of the FTC?s Bureau of Consumer Protection. ?When signing up for a credit card, consumers have the right to know the truth about the amount of credit they are getting and the cost of that credit up front.?

According to the FTC?s complaint, CompuCredit marketed credit cards, primarily through direct mail solicitations, under various brand names, including Aspire, Aspire A Mas, FreedomCard, Tribute, Imagine, Majestic, Aspen, Emerge and Fingerhut Credit Advantage. These cards generally fit into three categories:

Fee-based credit card with $300 limit. According to the FTC, CompuCredit marketed to consumers with subprime credit ratings a credit card with a purported $300 credit limit, using solicitations that stated certain up-front fees that did not apply. Rather than provide consumers with $300 of available credit, CompuCredit immediately charged consumers as much as $185 in fees that it did not adequately disclose in light of the representations made. These fees left consumers with as little as $115 in available credit.

Credit card with ?up to $3,250? limit. As alleged by the FTC, CompuCredit marketed to consumers with slightly higher credit scores its credit card purporting to offer ?up to $3,250? in available credit. CompuCredit failed to disclose, or failed to disclose adequately, that half of the available credit would be withheld for the first 90 days. CompuCredit also failed to disclose, or failed to disclose adequately, that for the first 90 days, the company would monitor consumers? purchases, and might reduce their credit limit based on an undisclosed ?behavioral? scoring model.

Debt-transfer credit card program. According to the complaint, CompuCredit and Jefferson Capital marketed a credit card to consumers with charged-off debt. CompuCredit and Jefferson Capital represented that the consumers? old debt balance would be immediately transferred to the card and reported to consumer reporting agencies as paid in full. Consumers who accepted the offer, however, were immediately enrolled in a debt repayment plan and did not receive a credit card until they paid 25 percent to 50 percent of their charged-off debt.

In addition to requiring the reversal of fees, the orders with CompuCredit and Jefferson Capital:

Require that credit card solicitations making representations about credit limits or available credit must disclose ? equally clearly and prominently, and on the same page ? fees and other restrictions affecting initial available credit.
Include a broad prohibition against misrepresentations in the marketing of credit cards, including misrepresentations about the amount of available credit.
Prohibit CompuCredit and Jefferson Capital from making any misrepresentation about the relationship between an offer or extension of credit and a debt repayment plan.
Prohibit Jefferson Capital from engaging in abusive practices while collecting debts.
The Commission voted 4-0 to authorize staff to file the stipulated final order. The order was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia. Separately, the FDIC announced settlement of its parallel administrative action against CompuCredit. As part of its settlement with the FDIC, CompuCredit has also agreed to a civil money penalty of $2.4 million.

NOTE: Stipulated final orders are for settlement purposes only and do not constitute an admission by the defendant of a law violation. A stipulated final order requires approval by the court and has the force of law when signed by the judge.

The Federal Trade Commission works for consumers to prevent fraudulent, deceptive, and unfair business practices and to provide information to help spot, stop, and avoid them. To file a complaint in English or Spanish, visit the FTC?s online Complaint Assistant or call 1-877-FTC-HELP (1-877-382-4357). The FTC enters complaints into Consumer Sentinel, a secure, online database available to more than 1,500 civil and criminal law enforcement agencies in the U.S. and abroad. The FTC?s Web site provides free information on a variety of consumer topics.

I know that this is Aspire Visa, but they are attempting to collect a debt that my MOTHER owes. I have informed them that the cell number they are continuously calling is not my mother, but mine. They STILL continue to call. I think that I will send a "Cease and Desist Communication" letter. I also am furious at the company that gave out my cell phone number, presumably the company with which I have service.

How do i permanently block this number calling me ? sOMETIMES I GET 3-10 CALLS A DAY  this is rediculous!thEY CALL ALL THE WAY UP TO 9:30PM SOMEDAYS ?

Just received an empty voice mail from them, and found the info here. I've posted a complaint on :
https://www.donotcall.gov/

...The FTC's "do not call registry" site.

If you haven't put your cell in the Do Not Call Registry, you can do that at the link above...then you can file a complaint if they call again.

Whoever calls themselves Sarah is the parson who is calling. The post is meant to lure you into paying a debt you probably don't even owe.
These creeps keep calling me and saying I owe them something. I am sorry to say but I am not going to pay nothing. I owe enough already that I can just say F*** it!!! No one gets paid now!!!

The call is from Compu Credit collections.  They work for Aspire Visa, Salute Visa among others.  They will not leave a message but will continue calling until they reach the intended party.  Unless you're certain you don't owe anything, you should just deal with them.  I've dealt with 3 different customer service representatives there and they have always been polite and non-threatening.  If you can't pay them, they are willing to work with you.  I owe $850.00 and my minimum payment is usually $85.00 -- this month I can't pay this much, so they're allowing me to pay $22.00.  Don't ignore them, it only gets worse and eventually reported to a credit bureau.  Also, if it's legitimate they MUST send you something in writing.

Hadn't gotten a call from these guys since the last message I left (8-30), today they called again. They left a message this time demanding to speak to a relative who doesn't live here. *sigh*

They just called me. No message. According to their website they are:

"CompuCredit is a leading provider of financial services to consumers underserved by traditional financial institutions. We offer one of the most helpful services that can be provided by any business to any customer? credit."

What exactly that means, I'm not even sure.

Wow, you messed up big time. I'd suggest contacting your credit card company and letting them know what happened, because you just gave vital information to identity scam artist.

They called my cell phone.  I returned the call thinking they were my credit card service.  I gave them my card no and my social.  they could not find me in their records.  I am really worried that I gave out too much information.  I found out that they are out of Atlanta.

This call was made from "Card Services" calling for Aspire Visa
