This collection agency should be sued by everyone possible for constant harrassment! They are not following proper standards set forth in the Fair Debt Collection Act. We have rights too!
they are calling my employement now asking for the payroll department to garnish my wages.... are you kidding me, and i work for the federal governemnt, i called back that 201-336-1026 number miss lee. .. and asked to speak with a supervisor they said there are no supervisors well i just contact an attorney to stop these annoying phone calls, they are rude, and harrasing, and this is my place of employment they are messing with now.
A Mr. Jones from this number would call me at least once a week, sometimes during non-business hours. So, I don't answer the phone anymore when I see this number on my caller ID. He kept on leaving me messages about some debt we owe, but was not specific as to what company we owe the money to. First of all, why did he only use a last name to identify himself? We're not in elementary school anymore, and we use first names in a place of business. Second, a real debt collector would not be calling so many times and not show some paperwork to back up his claims, and would not be calling during non-business hours. I haven't received any calls from him for about two weeks now, so I guess he must have given up since I wasn't answering the phone, and I never returned any of his calls. I was so glad that I did some research on this number before calling.
Mr. Jones called again, this time way before work hours, at 5:30 am, and left me another message. He said that he has the paperwork at his office with a debt that we owe, but once again did not go into detail as to what it's about. I just erased the message, and will not call him back. This is probably the 10th time he called, but he will never hear from me, as I will continue to ignore his calls when I see this number on my caller ID. What a scam!! I only wish there's a way I can block his calls.
We were called incessently about a survey for online advertising... finally relenting an employee agreed and kept saying yes...about 6 mos later we started getting calls from ACA Recovery who then played an "authorization" tape for Regional Yellow Pages and wanted $451.00...they obviously falsified the conversation placing the "yes" - which sounded the same each time....even saying "yes" to an old address.....The moral...don't agree to any online surveys!!!!! If they call merely ask them the name and owner of their business along with the phone # and tell them they are violating the Do not call List policy and you're going to report them....they generally hang up at that point....
If ACA calls demand an invoice to prove it and keep harrassing them....they will say uncle first.
