Asset Care Inc - How are they as a company?

Asset Care Inc are a scam. They leave a recording on our answering machine every few days for the past year. I do not own anyone any money and I have never received anything in the mail from them.

This is a scam organization that calls all the time. I have reported asset care inc to the Attorney General's Office here in Ohio and I urge everyone that gets these calls to do the same.
these are scam artists and will be dealt with. I can promise that!

They have been sued 14 times in Federal court for FDCPA violations. Interesting that not one person has filed a complaint against them with the BBB.

I did a BBB search for Asset care inc , which has 7 listings (the 8th one is a Roofing contractor). Most interesting is the bottom: Quote:

AssetCare aka NCO Financial Systems, Inc.

Aha!

they call my house everyday and they never speak, it is always automated. I have now begun to check my caller id and hang up on them when i see its them, i pick the phone up slightly and hang it back up. They cant stop calling! I think they are scammers 2! I live In north carolina!

Just got off the phone with a person there named Angela, after the third call this week, I called the number right back for the second time. (These phone calls have been going on for sometime.) When the phone was answered i asked (Angela) what Asset Care was? No answer. I was put on hold for 5 minutes. When the phone call was taken off of hold it was treated as a fresh call, with the normal corporate greeting. Again, I asked what Asset Care was, in return she asked my name. Again no explanation of what the company is or does. When I replied truthfully she said that they had the wrong number and that they would take me out of the system. This was told tom me on the first call back this week. I am going to pull my phone bills and report them to my states (MO) AG, as well as the BBB.

Just received a letter fromt them and called, the lady just kept sasking me if my husband can help me, how much money I made or was I receiving a tax refund, very pissed right now and I told them that I couldn't pay and she just said that she will notate me rufusing to pay

Several people in our small town are getting daily recorded calls from Asset Care Inc. I think the only care they have is to get hold of your assets. I know that we do not have any outstanding debts and neither do some of the other people who get these calls. I have a friend who did work for a collection agency and she said they do not make these types of calls. If it is a real collection agency they will have a person call you or they will mail you a letter explaining.

I got a letter from Asset Care Inc. informing me of a debt. It clearly states in the letter that I can pay via check or money order and, to take advantage of their offer to settle for 60%, write settlement on it. I called a representative and asked if this were true and she told me that I would have to give her my credit card information over the phone in order to settle. If I mail in a money order, it would received as a payment and I would be responsible for the entire amount, even if I write settlement on it. The lady I talked to was rude. She didn't get loud or use vulgar language, but she talked over me and tried to finish my sentences. She also talked so fast that I had to ask her to repeat herself (she didn't like this very much.) I want to pay, but I also want to be protected from being scammed.

well then,you get a DV letter out to the address instead.send it certified mail return receipt.do not give them anything over the phone.since she put it that way make them prove they have legal right to collect.

I talked to a lady today, and told her send me a bill and or proof I owe this bill.
James a manager comes on the line and tells me that they are not intrested in sending a bill that I need to pay now... I just laughed and told him until I see a bill, they won't see any money.. he hung up on me ???? LOL
