Looks like there was a government action against some firms at the address for Aargon: https://www.ftc.gov/sites/default/files/docum ... eymakercmpt.pdf
Federal law (FDCPA) requires them to send you a letter (US MAIL ONLY) within 5 days of their first contact that contains their name, physical address, the creditor’s name, and the amount of the alleged debt. It also must contains “mini-Miranda” telling you that it is an attempt to collect a debt and that all information will be used for those purposes. The one other important thing that this letter must also have in it is that you have a right to dispute the debt within 30 days of receipt of the letter and if you do so, all collection activity must be stopped until the debt is verified.
Read up on your rights here, get template letters to send and also make a complaint at this government site: http://www.consumerfinance.gov/
Also file a complaint with your State Attorney General's office.

I've older notes on Aargon Collection Agency / ACA in Vegas making it a/k/a Bourassa Law Group and Total Credit Recovery.
they've been calling from a different number for weeks. i finally had not heard from them for a couple of days. then got another call today. trying to scam, saying we had a bounced check from 18 years ago... people have been getting calls from them for a long time.
