These calls come from a company called Asset Acceptance Aka AACC, http://www.assetacceptance.com. They are a scavenger debt collector trying to collect on time barred, expired statue of limitations debt most the time. Check your state statutes, TX 4 years, CO 6, etc. They totally disregard the FDCPA law, one way they avoid prosecution is by calling from different offices and different numbers. They have offices in Mesa, AZ, FL, IL, OH, TX & MI their (corp hdqtr) Asset Acceptance Capital Corp.P.O. Box 2036 Warren, MI 48090-2036 (800) 505-5166. These calls people recieve with no answer that go dead are test calls (phishing) to see if a number is live. Later on they will call you back from another number i.e. 480-588-0745 with an automated voice message like, "This message is for someones name in my case Karen Vivoda, I'm Micki Hart a debt collector with assest acceptance please call 800-213-8040. I have personally called 3 times over the last year and a half to have both our business numbers taken of the list to no avail. Yesterday I sent a Cease & Desist letter to both the employees address (Ryan Fountain) I found using their tactics and their corporate office. No surprise I receive another call from them today from a different number. Ryan advised me I had never called before to have my numbers removed from their list because there is no Karen V. here Now for someone who never called before to have the calls stop I sure know alot about their company wouldn't you say? The 2 other people I spoke to wouldn't giver their name and obviously were to arrogant or lazy to take my name of the list. It is not because I am pleased with their harrassing calls that I have made an effort to know who they are.
