ACT debt collectors, especially working for federal student loan collections. They don't seem to be practicing business on the up and up though. I gave them my email address Friday, and this week my incoming spam has trebled, mostly debt or credit related scams.
If they call you listen to what they have to say about your debt, but take their "rules" with a grain of salt. Get everything on paper, and consult a lawyer.
It is a collection agency
a VERY unprofessional one, they wouldn't give me a main number or anyone else to talk to but after some looking here was what I got
Acount Control Technology Inc

They will call screen you so if they don't want to deal with your remove my number request they will send you straight to voicemail as I found out after becoming irate when they called me 10 times in 2 hours and Id had enough. Tell em to [***] that you don't know who they want. Ive read in sever forums where this company is engaging in ILLEGAL tactics to get information on people they are trying to find, from saying it's in regards to a loan or rental app, or in my case said they were a "Friend" and that she wasn't with a company until I said I was her hubby then things changed and she tried saying she worked for the Federal Gov (which btw is a BIG NO NO) so I have reported them to the FCC, my State Attorney General, as well as the FBI (since they work the Fed gov and all). My advise tell them NOTHING, these people could be also trying to harvest info for scammers, they are a NEW company with no past yet so I wouldn't trust them at all, simply call your creditor to take care of it.
This company is called Account Control Technology. They have several locations, the one calling us is located in San Angelo, TX. They have somehow gotten MY PARENTS number, and are calling to talk to my brother-in-law (my husband's brother, no relation to my parents). He lives in a different state. They will not believe that he will not be found here. They specialize in collecting on school loans. We got one call from a Donna, that acted like a "friend". This time it was Michelle Lesfler calling and she repeatedly asked for a phone number, which neither we nor my parents know. He generally uses a phone card to call. She then asked to speak to another member of the family because she wanted to ask them the SAME questions. It seems that this firm goes to great lengths (not so legal, it would appear) to collect on student loans. She finally said it was "it was VERY important that my brother-in-law call back" not once saying a reason for their call. The website is www.accountcontrol.com You can find their addresses, and their Mission Statement, on the website. We'll be reporting them if they keep it up.
Caller ID Showed DCS, When I answered a woman asked for me by name and when I acknowledged it she asked if I knew someone that lives on my street, she gave a name and address and stated that she wanted to ask me a few questions about this person. I told her I did not know anyone by the name she gave or at the address she gave. She started to ask me more questions when i excused myself and hung up.
I keep getting calls from this number 325-224-3900 amd they will not leave messages. They keep calling then hang up when voice mail kicks on. I will never answer after reading the above remarks. I know I owe no loans, so they can move on!!
