Aktiv Capital.  Collection Agency.

It's a collector

Got a call from a lady claiming to be looking for some one with the same last name as mine. Asked how long i had the number. Made me wonder.

I got two calls to my cell phone from this number - who are they and what are they looking for?

They can't collect on old debt that has passed the statute of limitations, DO NOT MAKE ANY PAYMENTS, if you do they can't screw your credit for 6 years.  Just ignore those calls, let them waste their money coming after you when they don't have a legal leg to stand on!

Let me give many of you some help: Aktiv Capital buys up old debt and then uses extreme methods to collect. BUT if you're being harassed by them, you have a weapon: "stat barred". It means that they cannot use the courts to get money from you after a two year period, unless you acknowledge to them that you owe them the money and/or make a payment on the debt.!!Once I found out, I knew the balance of power had changed! Hooray! Now I don't ever answer their calls or acknowledge that I owe them any money (I'm not sure I even do they're so evil). Know your rights. !http://www.canadian-money-advisor.ca/threadview/3283.htmlAlso remember that if aktiv doesn't have all the receipts of payments made from the company they bought the debt from,  they're screwed and can't make their claim stick!Merry Christmas! Screw you Aktiv Capital!
