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

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.

Aktiv Capital.  Collection Agency.

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!

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.

I am currently writing software for pc's that will block calls with a recorded message.

I.E  if you block the number +1 800-888-8888 and they call you they will be directed to a recorded message of your choosing. So when you get calls from prerecorded robots, your prerecorded robot will be there to answer and talk to their reps :D

They are going to annoy us with prerecorded calls we will do the same. These jerkof*s called the wrong house when they called my house.

This software will be 100% free and will be finished soon.

You can block all 800 numbers or 888 exc... It will be called SKiDKiDS Call Blocker.
