Just go onto your wireless providers website and block their numbers. I receive calls all the time from these so-called "debt-collectors", and I have added them to the blocked call list. Simple as that.
it's a collection agency they also call from 864-641-3279 with a recording saying a civil suit is being filed against you- they never send anything to you in writing
They claim to be American Asset Center. I called and was told it was not a Debt Buyer or collection agency, which they are. Its a scare tactic. The attorney I is Mark Shapiro I am told. And do not admit to anything.
Scare Tactic! This is about a Zombie Debt well over 20 years Old,well beyond the 5 year Statute of Limitations in my State! When you call back that number the first choice is that if this is regarding a LEAN Placed on a bank Account Press 1,If this is about a Pending Legal matter Press 2 etc.....Got to admit their one of the best. Oh and the "agency" has no Web Site.
I absolutely LOVE getting calls from what one of you just called a "Zombie Debt", and this happened today. A recording calls my phone and threatens that a suit is pending against me, therefore I should call this number to resolve it. Everything stated above is true. The [Press 1] prompt refers to having a lien placed on your home etc. etc. I was just ready to talk to someone because I LOVE sending these to my LS attorney! Unfortunately, I haven't received a chance to speak with an associate yet. After I pressed the [2] prompt, I listened to music for about 5 minutes before I was told that "all associates were busy assisting other clients, please leave a message..." so I hung up and made this post. I was truly disappointed. I SOOOO want to send their letter over to my law firm so they can scare the crap out of them! *sigh* Perhaps I'll call back later! ^_^
I called my local sheriff's department and they said debt companies are regulated by the Department Of Insurance and that I should contact them to complain.
