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. !

Also 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!

Why you are calling from this phone number (519) 963-8180

got a call from this number voicemail just said "will be with you in a minute" and that was it. a prerecorded voice

Somehow these idiots got my cell #, I don't know how they got MY number to ask me for someone I don't know in some freakish sounding mechanical voice.  Only 2 businesses have my cell number and they are none that would have any connection to a (fake sounding) collection agency.  I'll be calling them tomorrow and telling them to remove my number from their call list or I'll be chasing them down with a threat to sue for harrassment.

this number (519) 963-8180 continues to call my house at least every other day with a pre-recorded message for someone who does not live at my number, and hasn't for at least the last 15 years, as that is how long I have had this number. I refuse to call it back, I have placed a trace on the number, and after a certain number of calls the police will now be handling the matter as I will be charging the company with harassment.
