Who called from 2153200424

I just tried to send a fax to Academy Collection Service, Inc (ACS) at (215) 281-7512 and 215-992-8966 but guess what. That number automatically contact me to a number out of the country.

I feel this a way you cannot send them a letter to inform them not to contact you again. You must send them a letter stating that and they must remove your number from their call center and not contact you again. It is the law. It is under the FAIR DEBT COLLECTION PRACTICE ACT

It looks like they are a collection company that uses an automated phone message system.  It is difficult to get a hold of someone to get them to stop calling me, cause there is no human to talk to.

They bombarded my cell phone with recorded messages.  I made the mistake of calling them and asked them to take my phone number out.  It didn't work because they don't care.  My lawyer friend suggests that I send them a letter stating that I am not the person they are looking for, that I do not owe any delinquent debts and that I want them to stop calling me.  In accordance with the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), after I make these statements, they have to stop.  If you want to do the same, you should also copy your letter to the Pennsylvania State Attoreny General, the attorney general of your state, and the Federal Trade Commission, who is enforcer of the FDCPA.

Here are the addresses that you will need:

Academy Services
ATTN:  Nancy Fortino
10965 Decatur Rd.
Philadelphia PA 19154

Office of Attorney General
Bureau of Consumer Protection
14th Floor, Strawberry Square
Harrisburg, PA 17120

Federal Trade Commission
Consumer Response Center
600 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW
Washington, DC 20580

(If you live outside of Pennsylvania, google your state attorney general's website to get the mailing address.)

By the way, Nancy Fortino is likely a fictious name, but this is the person that the "receptionist" at Academy Services said to address my complaints to.  My lawyer friend says that these people don't use their real names, which suggests to me that they are doing something illegal.  The attorney generals of the respective states can determine what state laws they have broken.

I have them call me everyday on my cell phone and now they are calling my parents house which I haven't lived there for 25 years.  Do I really want my parents involved in this.  I don't think so. This company calls and bothers people all the time. enough is enough.  I'm sending my letter today.

I suggest going to academycollection.com and read what they say about themselves. Polite, professional, etc...
academycollection.com doesn't care about abuse complaints - after all, that's what they do for a living. But perhaps PAETEC might.

Yeah, I know the web site doesn't make these calls, but the company the site is for DOES. PAETEC is the IP, therefore it is ENABLING academycollection.com's unscrupulous business activities BY PROXY. you might want to see what their mission statement is real("PAETEC's corporate mission is to be the most customer and employee-oriented communications provider.")
You may also want to inquire as to networksolutions' role in enableing academycollection.com's business practices.
REMEMBER, with enough complaints directed at the ENABLERS, they might just decide it is BAD business to DO business with Academy.
Also, remember that "TOLL FREE" numbers are only free to those making the calls. The company actually has to pay (yes, cost THEM money). The more calls the better (public phone booths are good for this).
Contact EVERYONE listed above by Whois that is in any way, shape or form connected with Academy. e-mail and the "toll free" 877 and 800 numbers. If this is done REPEATEDLY, and by EVERYONE, Academy's IP will very quickly tire of it. It is much easier to throw the customer (Academy) under the bus than to try to defend their actions and be the recipient of angry comments from the public. In short it is bad for their business!
