Capital Acquisitions And Management (CAMCO) phone harassment ripoff abused & mistreated Rockford Illinois Illinois
Capital Acquisitions and Management started contacting me back in April after they "scammed" my cell phone number from my ex-husband's step-son. They are contacting me about a debt that I'm not sure I ever had but I did have credit problems after the DIVORCE back in 1990!!
My point is that I have told them repeatedly that they are calling my "cell phone" and they are causing me to have to pay for the call because I pay for the minutes and asked them to stop.
Even if I did owe this debt what they are doing is illegal. i have stoppped answering the phone when I see "caller ID unavailable and it's hardly ever the same person and they call me at work during business hours and leave messages on my voice mail. What do I do now to get them to stop??? They obviosuly aren't listening to my verbal requests.

Cease & Desist Letter Will Stop Them
#2Consumer Suggestion
Fri, May 30, 2003
Dear Julie,
I am going to post here what I just posted on the thread for Amy of Palatine IL since you both are having the same problem.
In Texas, the statue of limitations is 4 years for credit card debt, after that, CAMCO can not sue you and should not be bothering you, especially at work. It is against the law, especially after you tell them to stop calling you.
CAMCO breaks the laws and they are lower than con artists. To stop them dead in their tracks, send them a CERTIFIED Cease and Desist Letter to their street address listed above, not any PO Box.
Here is a good example on the following link:
http://www.creditmania.com/Letters/cease.asp
or if that link does not work, just do a search on the web for an example. I sent them one and never heard from them again. If I had, I would sue them and you can because after they receive that letter, the only way they can contact you is to acknowledge that they have received it or that they are suing you, which they would not have a case for reasons sited above.
I was told by the kind person who helped me, not to sign the C&D letter, but to either print your name or just type it. He said they purposefully hire signature artist/ex-cons and forge signatures. I have no idea if that is true, but I never signed mine. Your receipt from the certified letter is enough to prove in any court that you sent them the letter.
Also, please notify your attorney Generals office, The attorney Generals office of IL (the state CAMCO has offices in), the FTC and Better Business Bureau of their practices. There are several law suits against them and the FTC is building a case, every voice counts.
