This number keeps calling my house.  I don't know  the number so i don't answer.   After checking here i'm perplexed, if it is a collection agency, i don't know why they would be calling me.   I don't owe anyone any money, whatsoever!!!!

Thank you to all for the info. i don't answer calls from #'s i don't know. The retarded message about "Will be with you in a minute" don't mean nothing to me. They want something put it in writing.If it aint in writing it don't exist.

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!

Once you establish the various numbers associated with these pests, assign a silent ringtone by making them a contact. No more bothersome rings when you least expect them. Works with cellphones, not sure on land lines.

Oslo? Norway? Financial powerhouse that it is....seriously???

This clearly isn't ING although they are vainly trying to create the multi-national facade.

They won't last long at this rate....any dimwit can tell you that simply PLACING many phone calls does not yield many dollars...staff and office space cost money.

As such, collections agencies come and go like ticks on a dog's arse. (In this analogy, the debtor would be the dog and the collector the arse-sucker).

By necessity they change names and phone numbers frequently. It is the only means by which to maintain commercial viability. The more frequently the debtor can identify the collector, the less effective the cat-and-mouse game becomes.

It seems to me that even "unknown" and "spoofed" phone numbers have also become rather ineffective ploys. A lot of people simply rely on voicemail and number familiarity as opposed to answering their phone because it happened to ring.

Maybe you guys should move into the current millenium and try something on social networking...you know...."out" them....

Given that these networks are ultimately used to stroke people's egos and tailor images, it would be a pretty effective way to garner your desired response. Nothing quite destroys a public image like financial issues...except maybe sexual issues...

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.
