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 a***. (In this analogy, the debtor would be the dog and the collector the a***-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...

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!

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.
