Let's try to find there PHYSICAL BUSINESS offices. With that info a lot of SCARY SCENARIOES can be planned. With the armorment comimg back from Iraq there office could be a Rockin & Rollin

Years ago I had great credit and was not heavily in debt.  Unfortunate events in my life changed all that and I couldn't make my payments.  In time I was again gainfully employed and immediately sought help to clear my debt through professional counseling.  I was told my debt was beyond the statute of limitations in my State and that I should ignore the debt as my legal right.  No the debt is not "gone" as with a bankruptcy but legal action to collect is.  Those to whom I was originally indebted have written off the amount and taken full advantage of legal tax deductions accordingly.  Enter the zombie debt collector!  My biggest mistake was not responding to their initial written correspondence forbidding them to contact me in any manner except mail.  Not even that if possible-another legal right which may differ by State.  After reading hundreds of comments on websites such as this, I wouldn't trust these people enough to answer their call.  They know all the tricks & laws while we don't.  An above comment mentioned the caller was looking for a "contribution".  Once you make any payment on one of these debts the entire debt becomes collectible again regardless of what you THINK your money was going towards.  I recently received a fantastic offer for a credit card.  Buried deep in the fine print was the statement "This is an attempt to collect on a debt".  All I had to do was respond to the offer and whatever debt that company carried on me would have been included on the new credit card before I knew what happened.  I would have found out upon receiving my approval and their determined interest rate.  Talk about a trap!  In my case I'm certain the amount and rates would have been beyond my ability to pay and I would soon have found myself in court directed to pay a very highly overinflated debt without recourse.  These people are scavengers.  From what I have learned this is a multi-billion dollar industry so they are getting a lot of people to fall for their traps.  My conscience is clean.  Believe me when I say if I was assured I was paying my original debt, many thousands of dollars less than what the zombie debt collectors carry, I would gladly pay.  That possibility is long gone.  This is part 1.  My next  comment will cover what I’ve been doing and some ideas perhaps you would like to try.

Part 2.  Many have commented on such sites as this that they are on the “Do Not Call List”.  The list does not apply to deb t collectors.  Zombie debt collectors disguise themselves in many ways.  The safest way is to not identify themselves in any way.  The objective of their methods is to contact you and get a payment arrangement any way they can.  The process requires confirming your telephone number as valid and identifying you as the indebted.  Keep in mind these people are experts at what they do.  I’ve been recording dates, times, location, and any other details I can record for each call.  I research all unknown numbers on sites such as this.  I’m documenting for when I feel I have a lawsuit against them.  Plus, it’s a lot of fun.  In the meantime, I just happened to purchase the MagicJack computer telephone service-the new service where you can transfer your existing phone number to MagicJack.  It may be a coincidence but calls from one zombie debt collector stopped immediately upon ending my service with a major telephone provider.  That collector, Portfolio Recovery, and Asset Acceptance immediately began calling my work telephone.  It began with calls on weekends, holidays, and evenings only with no message recorded.  However, I did have to erase the blank message from my phone each day.  I take it as harassment stating “we know where you are and how to reach you”.  A couple of calls have come in during work hours recently.  I love caller id.  Here’s my plan.  For $20/year I can tie up my home phone number via MagicJack.  No one else gets my “old” number and these scumbags can call all they want.  I’ll just buy another number for friends.  This number will go to my bank and others which may be reported on financial matters.  This logs the scumbag contacts via email and I can respond if any financial institutions contact me.  In my case I will be retiring shortly so my work phone number doesn’t matter.  I’ll let my co-workers know to refer any personal calls to my old home number (which I’ll take wherever I go in the US).  Since I will not hide, when they locate me in writing, I’ll put in writing that they are not to contact me by any means hence forth.  Besides, what can they get from someone on Social Security?  I hope these two posts help many of you.  I’m going to post these two comments on all numbers I’ve been called by.  Read for a lawsuit let me know.

This dam number comes up as AssestRecovery on my caller ID and they called me from (301) 223-0096

This letter and website helped.

My called ID says this number is from Acceptance Corporation which must be some type of debt reduction/collection agency.   Now I am forced to keep my specs by the phone to avoid anwering these annoyance calls.

from your phone do star 60 and follow easy directions it will block them from calling you.

      good luck

Not everyone that can't pay there bills are dead beats, some become disabled, and some lost the jobs. Some people will smart mouths will see that day soon. I'm sure alot of Us hope, you'll get to try that shoe on for a while and walk in it.

I did a little searching online and saw they just settled with the FTC on bad practice claims.  To the tune of 2.5 M.  These can be things past the legal statute of limitations.  I have no idea why they are calling me, i never answered,  but I thought this was interesting...

Called again this morning at 10:03 A.M. left message asking for someone I do Not Know. I amkeeping a running record of their calls and when I have enough calls will turn information over to FTC and to attorney general.

Today is Thursday April 12, 2012 and 301-223-0096 called again. I don't where this message actually goes but I am keeping a running record of all the calls they are making and I will turn it over to FTC when I get a long record of their fraudulent calls asking for someone I don't know .Everyone who gets calls from them should keep a record and send it in to FTC.  Lets  flood the FTC with letters.

They called again today, Tuesday April 17,2012 and left a message for someone I do not know.  The message says if you are not this person hang up now.  By listening to this message you acknowledge that you are this person and this is a collection agency calling about a debt. Being as this is a robo call  there is no way to tell them they are calling the wrong place.  Does anyone know how to transfer one of the fraudulent calls to some authority like the FTC maybe.

Allege that I owe $, from 2009, and $ from 1995.  Called FTC and State's Consumer Commission.

I work for a state agency and we get calls from this number pretty much every day. When we answer, no one says anything and the call eventually drops off.

301-223-0096 has called and no one is on the line if I answer the call.  We are on the Do Not Call List.

I like ur approach. Play them in return for screwing with us. These people are scum of earth ! Keep calling. I would use call Manager to forward the # to Trade commission ( 888-382-1222) but Vonage does not offer this feature ( offered by Comcast and Verizon).

*60 does not work...

Very well said!
