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.

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.

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!

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!
