Phone calls from Academy Services looking for wrong person

I have also been receiving these phone calls from Academy Services. They think that I am Michael Licudine, whoever that is. I looked up Michael Licudine on the internet and the only one I could find was a 16 year old boy that had died in 2005. It seems like alot of these people that Academy is trying to call are dead. Anyway, they have called me at several different numbers, but the most frequent one is 1-800-220-0605. They tell that it is regarding an account that I have with Academy Services and it's urgent that I return their call. They also tell me to ask for Paul Roberts at extension 4176. These calls happen amazingly often - 2 or 3 times a day. I just keep hanging up. It sounds like that is the only thing that I can do because others are saying how they call Academy back to straighten things out, but Academy just gets rude and still calls.
You have the legal rights to stop the collection company from co
You have the legal rights to stop the collection company from contacting you. Report them to your state AG if they are not having a licensed business. Verify the laws on recording the collection calls in your state. Most states allow secret recording and you will be able to use it for legal purposes. Throw a case against the collector for violating the FDCPA.
First, send a cease and desist letter mentioning to stop all calls in future, since the person they are trying to reach is not you. Send the letter through certified mail with return receipt requested so that you have a proof of them receiving your letter. If they still continue, record the calls.
