Asset Acceptance Harassing Phone Calls, Possible Future Action Internet
I have been receiving continuous daily phone calls from Asset Acceptance for almost two years straight, at least once a day and up to three or four times per day since getting my current phone number. Believing them to be just one of a series of "junk callers", i.e., miscellaneous companies that might have obtained my phone number through less-than-scrupulous means or companies that persist in calling my number, yet are looking for people that may have previously had my current number (I receive a fair number of those!), I simply chose not to answer the phone. Until today. They have never left a message on my voice mail, nor have they chosen to communicate with me in any other form than repeated attempted phone calls on a daily basis to my home phone number. The almost-inarticulate person on the other end of the phone asked to speak to me by my full name, which took me by surprise. He then rattled off my "last place of residence", which was in a part of the country I have never even visted, let alone lived. He asked for my current address, which I politely refused to give out, and he rattled off the last four digits of my Social Security number, which, unfortunately, WAS accurate. After ending the call, I immediately got online and researched "Asset Acceptance", coming across, among other places, this Web site. In the blind hope that this is a legitimate venue to report my experience, and especially due to the other reports I have read against Asset Acceptance here, I feel it's necessary to put this in print. Whatever unpaid debt I previously had was accrued long past the statute of limitations for collection in all fifty states (more than seven years ago), which would make whatever attempt currently being made to collect one hundred percent illegal ... asuming, of course, this is actually anything remotely connected to myself, since they're stating I lived at a previous address that is not, nor has ever been, mine. Unfortunately, they apparently DO have my Social Security number, so before I see a garnishment of my wages or some preposterous legal action (as I read, to my horror, in previous reports on this site regarding this company), I decided to add my experience to the others, who all have my deepest sympathy on the matter.
