How to stop them from calling wrong phone #?
I've been trying for months to get this Accounts Solutions Group to stop harassing me. They call my cell phone, use my minutes, waste my time and now (according to person I spoke with today-on my home phone which I used to call back) will add my home number to the account of a person I don't even know. I've explained to them 4-5 five times in the last 6 months that they have the wrong person! I have been yelled at, cussed at and hung-up on when expressing my frustration. I've even been told x2, they've removed my number associated with this person.
I don't understand why they don't just pay a $39 fee to locate the person, collect the fee and put this matter to rest. Obviously the collectors don't get paid for fees collected, but rather for calls during the day they make. Even if it's clearly to the wrong number.
I have never had bad credit, yet I feel sorry for people who are harassed by agencies such as these, even if they do have bad credit.

Guest w/a brain--
you need to stop contact entirely with them over the phone. It is actually pretty simple--you need to send them a letter via certified mail, RRR. Send them what we call a validation letter. This is your request to them, as provided for by federal law, asking them to validate that the debt is real, that it is legally your debt, and that they have the legal right to collect on it. In the same letter, you can advise them that they are to immediately cease and desist any and all communication with you except through the US Mail.
Failure to honor your request to cease contacting you is a violation of federal law. If you send this letter, and they call you after they receive it anyways, you can sue them. But more importantly, the validation letter requires them to stop all collection activity until they provide you with the necessary proof of the debt, as I described above. If they dont honor that, it is again a violation of federal law. These violations can cost them up to $1000 a piece, in court, payable to YOU.
One thing though--as mentioned, you need to send this letter by certified mail, return receipt requested. That way you can prove that you sent it and that they received it. If you do this, and they continue to harass you, get back to us.

how come the collection agency is made out to be the bad guy when the only thing they are doing is trying to collect on money that they BORROWED from there client and then never paid them back....how would you feel if you lent someone 3,000 dollars and then that person you lent it to refused to pay you back....so the debtor is the DEADBEAT not the agency
BR: can you read. He is not the person that they are seeking. He
BR: can you read. He is not the person that they are seeking. He is however, being harassed even after they were told that he is not the person in question, you dumb fuk. I would like to meet you and talk about this.

So Lemon, if someone lent you 3k an decided not to pay you back, you would just brush it off and be all nice to the person? Sure ya would.....

When the person that the collection company is harassing is not the person that owes, than I would sue them for every cent that I legally could. Then I would have a backroom "meeting" with the individual who kept calling me. Sidekick, if your money is on BR, you would be the debtor.

You see, I'm old school, grew up on the streets of New York, and things were not settled in some stuffy conference room with civility. As an adult, I understand that there are times when one must act in a cordial manner, but then there are times that being cordial is not getting through or being effective. Thats when the old school part of me creeps out.
Hey Anthony, why dont you "fuk" off?? Most debtors are deadbeat
Hey Anthony, why dont you "fuk" off??
Most debtors are deadbeats and you know it. Sure, go ahead and use a credit card excessively THEN blame it on someone else when it comes time to pay up and you can't....or write a bunch of bad checks and let overdraft fees pile up then get mad at the collection agent or blame it on the bank.
Debtors always have someone else to blame...it's rarely their fault. Rarely do they own up to it being THEIR mistake or something THEY brought upon themselves.
DEBTOR=DEADBEAT
I was contacted by ASG last Friday. I returned their call as so
I was contacted by ASG last Friday. I returned their call as soon as I got the message. According to the receptionist, they did not have my name, nor could they locate my reference number, nor could they identify the person who called me. She then asked for my SSN to help locate the account. When I said I was uncomfortable disclosing that info, I was hung up on. I then received another call from ASG, different guy this time, saying I needed my legal represntatives to contact him. I had never received a phone call from this particular guy, though he insisted on leaving 3 messages before. Again I called ASG, and was again hung up on. I called back, and this time was put through to his voicemail. I've never received any written correspondence from ASG and don't know which account they are working with. I know I'm in debt and I know I have to pay it all off, but shouldn't they provide me with something more than two messages, one insuating legal action?

Hey sidekick, do you have a mortgage? Or how about a car loan or any other kind of loan? Do you have credit cards you use? If you do then you are a debtor yourself junior. So you might want to be careful before calling yourself a deadbeat.

I just got a "message" from this company, they did not identify themselves on the message nor would they do so when I called!! Other than to say "ASG" When I gave them the "reference number" they had left they proceeded to tell me about a credit card debt I didn't have. Very very rude at every turn, yet not willing to give any pertinent information. I'm quite sure they have the wrong person, as I have no outstanding debt other than student loans. They even wanted my social security number before they would identify themselves!! this is legal?? please!!

wow....just wow....
ok look, maybe you didnt get enough flogging last time around. That why youre still here, posting ridiculous things like this and not having a clue?
Tell me something--IF SOMEONE LENDS YOU MONEY, HOW CAN THEY REFUSE TO PAY YOU BACK? If I lent you money, shouldnt YOU be the one paying ME back? Go back and reread your post again....and then tell us why you fail at basic understanding.
Second, and I dont personally care whether you like it or not, this country was founded on the premise of INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY. Do you even know what that means? It is really rather simple--
1--you accuse me of owing your company money.
2--I deny the accusation.
At that point, THE BURDEN OF PROOF IS ON YOU to prove that you have a legitimate case. It isnt up to me to prove your case for you. And yes, while I am fully aware that this allows some guilty people to get off scot free, it is also designed to protect the innocent from having just anyone come along with any accusation they please.
When YOU claim that I owe you money, YOU are responsible for proving it. Dont like that? I dont care, its the law. And hey--if you cannot legitimately prove that I owe you money, THEN YOU DONT HAVE ANY RIGHT TO GET THAT MONEY. Sure, many people really do owe the debts. Hell, there is a guy that just posted recently in this forum about trying to skip out on a debt by moving right across the state line next door, where that state's SOL is already expired on his debt. I told him to stop trying to scheme and pay his debt, because he admitted that he knows it is really his. I am not here to tell people to skip out when they know its legit, but YOU have the obligation to prove it regardless. If you cant, then go cry your river elsewhere.
By the way, can you lend me money? I promise, I wont ever make you pay it back.... :roll:
Hey sidekick, I'll tell you what. If I lend you money, and you d
Hey sidekick, I'll tell you what. If I lend you money, and you don't want to pay it back, I would already know where you live, and a loan between 'friends' is not covered by the FDCA. Broken knee caps or a judgement in court are all the same on the street. Wanna borrow 100 bucks?
ASG goes to India - complaints continue
I am experiencing the same problems. I know that I have no outstanding debt to anyone... and, I'm not going to identify myself and confirm who they are looking for. I once identified myself to a debt collector trying to collect a debt owed by my ex-wife (we'd been divorced for 18 years)... they didn't care and harassed me for 6 months trying to collect her debt.
I've told ASG to stop calling 23 times (since I started keeping a log)... Even after telling them this, they persistently keep trying to get me to confirm my identity. I've told them I never heard of the person. They tell me they can't take me off their list unless I give them my name. I told them my name was Bob... they still call.
All of those who called have and Indian accent and Indian names.
The problem with filing a complaint is that I must identify myself...
Anyhow, I'll try Native2's suggestion when they call tomorrow.
File the complaint with your state's attorney general's office,
File the complaint with your state's attorney general's office, that way your personal information is concealed.
