kimspractice Posted October 9, 2003 Report Share Posted October 9, 2003 Ok, I'm new to this particular board, but I can help you out with this....check this out.....Customer Contact: Ms. Sandy Ostler Legal Adminstrative Assistant Asset Acceptance Corp PO Box 9064 Brandon, FL 33509 Phone Number: (866) 266-7500 Email Address: carrington@assetacceptance.com Membership Status: Yes Type-of-Business Classification: Credit-Collection Agencies Website Address: www.assetacceptance.com ASSET ACCEPTANCE CORPORATION 9940 Franklin Square Dr #4 White Marsh, MD 21236 Local Phone Number: (410) 933-7160Asset Acceptance LLC PO Box 44426 Baltimore, MD 21236-6426most every dispute ends up at the Michigan Address: AAC POB 2036 Warren Michigan 48090 They also have a Texas address also.When you try to contact them, you will get a letter from their 'famous lawyer', ..........but I that is a stall tactic. They will disappear when you fight them........aaah I can tell you some stories Asset Acceptance are the scum of the earth...they are like the worst of all the CAs out there.This is another trick that they do also.....I have a CA with THREE TL's on EX. Two of them are marked at "Creditor cannot locate individual" even though I've been sending them validation letters for the past 45 days. I already have them on FIVE violations, perhaps this is another? Doesn't matter at this pointwould that be ASSet Acceptance? Apparently they do that to everyone - I guess you could count it as a violation - false information to a CRAEnough info? Are you kidding me!!!! They just updated my credit report overnight as saying "Customer Has Now Located Consumer". This has been updated from "Customer Unable to Locate Consumer". Please tell me this is another violation. They did NOT however list it as being disputed. It just say that they can find me now! These people are absolute scum! Asset Acceptance had my account for two months - they didn't report it to the CRA's till I disputed and asked for validation. Interesting that. They DID however report it as in dispute. Damn I wish they hadn't done that then I could send an intent to sue and offer them a chance to delete and forget it since the violations I have on them right now amount to four times the amoount of fines what the account is actually worth. They also racked up almost $200 of fees and "interest" on the account since they got it, yet can't tell me how all of that got added on since my statement from 2 months ago. I disputed the amount and the account since they keep saying its from target which I have NEVER had a card for.Ok, so long story short, you must first validate with this company, dispute with CRA(S), keep detailed records, contact AG office for Michigan, if this does not make the TL disappear, contact ACA (yep, they are members!) and they will disappear, but from what I've read, they will make you jump thru all of these hoops before they fade away.

Guest KARENMW67 Posted October 18, 2003 Report Share Posted October 18, 2003 I have heard of them because they have a gas bill from Mich-Con from almost 7 years ago. I figure when I start on his credit I will get it deleted. I have not looked to find out if they are able to collect in Michigan or not. Sisflomi is from Michigan and is very smart with the laws and where to go. Just wanted to let you know that I have heard of them.P.S. They sent him a notirized computer printout.Yeah right!!! Hope that this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HelpFixMyCredit Posted December 5, 2003 Report Share Posted December 5, 2003 Hi Guys,These damn crooks got me too. They bought an SOL account from SBC Michigan. The story goes like this. The account has my old phone number listed so I'm thinking its an old account from Ameritech. Ameritech no longer exist (as a legal company), they were bought out by SBC. I left Michigan March 1998. I recently purchased a new home and was forced to "clean up my act", pay all my bills. Shortly thereafter (08/2003) I noticed a TL from CFC Financial in the amount of 2290 Client SBC Michigan with my old phone# for the account#. I'm like WTF!! The notation, "Creditor could not locate customer" is on all my reports (Equifax, Equifax Mortage Services, Transunion, and Experian).I sent them a DV on 12/02/2003. I disputed with all credit reports. I'm thinking they will STALL on this one. Technically I never opened an account with SBC Michigan. I know I didn't pay this for at least 3 months prior to my departure. When does the SOL start on this account? CFC Financial is reporting the debt as NEW DEBT -"Opened 08/2003". Any help is Appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadynRed Posted December 5, 2003 Report Share Posted December 5, 2003 Hey Kim, welcome to OUR boards !I know where you've been hangin' out .. nice to have you join us, and thanks for the info on a$$-et's other name - CFC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tj34994 Posted December 27, 2003 Report Share Posted December 27, 2003 To say they won't sue is wrong. They sued me for $1100 for an account which the SOL had expired. But the stupid judge didn't know what he was doing, so.....I lost. Had a judgement imposed for $100 a month. Asset didn't come after me either until I disputed and asked for validation. Then when they didn't validate I sent them a letter demanding they remove the entry. That's when I was served notice to appear in court.Good luck, if you have to go to court with Asset, make sure you have a Judge that knows what he's doing!!!

HelpFixMyCredit Posted January 8, 2004 Report Share Posted January 8, 2004 I sent dv to cfc and disputed with Eq and Ex at the same time. They are now gone from both reports. The original credit (SBC) made an entry on my TU account. I disputed this entry with TU the very same day (12/19/03). I'm eagerly awaiting 1/19/04 for results ...

LadynRed Posted January 8, 2004 Report Share Posted January 8, 2004 Congrats !! Just watch out for ASSet - they are notorious for filing lawsuits on time-barred debts and being sneaky about it. The will serve a summons to a very old address.. or one they made up ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HelpFixMyCredit Posted January 8, 2004 Report Share Posted January 8, 2004 I'm willing to travel to MI and fight them if this is the case. I'll keep all receipts and ask for lost wages too. Somebody need to stand up to these @#@#!. I proably can get my cousin (lawyer) to go to court for me. I'll keep my eyes on the local paper for the next 60 days via online to make sure they are not trying to be sneaky about anything. I have all correpsondence from them (proving they know my accurate address) to take to court if need be. Any judge in his/her right mind will see Asset for what they really are..low life scum bags!
