ACS sending PayDay collection threats
Date: Mon, 07/02/2012 - 09:33
I called the number and asked them "what do you think I owe you" and got a hang-up. I called back and the line was busy.
I'm sure this is a SCAM :

you are not nearly the only one who got this piece of junk email.report them first to the FTC,then to your state AG.attach that as part of your complaint.now let's look at this piece of crap email shall we.
1)the ETFA states ACH'S can be revoked at anytime.so how is exercising your rights a crime?
2)nobody can be charged that fast.
3)the case number is bogus as no real case number is that lengthy.
4)WTH is united states of attorney?
5)it is pretty well documented that ACS is in INDIA.
there you have it.report and forward any future pieces of email junk this scammer sends you.
Bottomfeeding scum. Don't pay any heed to them. The email addres
Bottomfeeding scum. Don't pay any heed to them. The email address itself is a dead giveaway. Can't even set up a scam properly.
Got one too...
I got an email from these scum today too - fortunately, my spam filter recognized it for what it was - spam - and sent it directly to my spam folder.
Money must be tight for them, they're hitting everyone and their brother. What's funny is that often they forget to change the account number and/or dollar amount that's owed and think that no one will notice.
Did you also notice that they tried to "read you your rights" - at least partially - in that letter? (You have the right to an attorney...if you can't afford an attorney, one will be appointed for you...) No debt collector has the right to use that statement - it is reserved for police use only. They are using it to scare you.
-Former moderator here...miss everyone, hope to come back soon, when I have time.

Almost all debt collectors are committing fraud
99% of the time, a bill collector has bought your debt from the entity that you originally had the debt for pennies on the dollar. The original entity has written off the debt and has been in most cases been paid by an insurance policy that the entity has for just this reason.
Ask yourself, do you have any contract with the bill collector? Did the bill collector provide with a service where you owe them money? Of course not.
Send the a letter (with proof of mail and recept) stating that they need to respond to you within 30 days and provide you the following information and if they do not, then they committing fraud.
1) Provide proof that you owe this specific debt to them and provide you with a copy of the contract that they (not the original entity) have with you
2) Certify that this debt wasn't wasn't bought from the original entity at a discount rate
If they can't don't provide the above information then they are admitting to fraud in collection of a debt.
99 out of 100 times you will never hear back from them again.:)
