They are an international collections co.listed on the Oslo stock exchange.

it only said my full name and to call back at the number and gave me an ID number and to call back and thats it.

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!

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!!!!

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...

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!
