ACA Recovery - Norman G. Kalina (?) A company of morons who rudely call your house and threaten you, claim to be a law firm but actually isn't. For them it is no holds barred in their quest to collect their alleged debt, just go to their website and you will see what I mean. I suspect that what they are doing is illegal! Ridgewood New Jersey
I started getting calls from these people approx. 3 weeks ago. At first it was some man with a fake Italian (almost cartoonish) accent calling me saying that a case was pending against me. He told this to my sister.
Finally, one night another man named "Mr. Cooper" calls my parents home around 9:30 and i get on the phone with him. He proceeds to tell me that he is calling from a law firm who is sending my case to the State of California. So I am like, Sir, I hae no clue what you are talking about.
(It sounded like he was at a football game, there was so much noise in the background so I asked whether this was really a lawfirm, and he put me on hold.)
He then tells me I wrote a bad check in 2005 for $20, (yes, twenty dollars) and that I now owe 168 dollars. Although I cannot remember writing this check (allegedly at Sears, and mind you my purse was stolen in 2005 so anyone could hae written one of my checks) I was about to fall for it...until he told me that I had to Western Union the entire amount to them within 48 hours.
That is when I got suspicious and asked him more questions. All he kept saying was that legal action was going to be brought on me and that once the state of California gets the case they will tack $1500.00 to the other fees. "If you dont believe me, you can go on the internet; I shut my computer down already" he says.
I am like WTF does California have to do with this? He tells me that it is irrelevant and that I am going to be sorry if this goes to court. I then demand that they send me this in writing, he insists that there is no time for that and I only have 2 days left and he again mentions how Cali takes check writing seriously.
I press him about the cali thing and he says well dont you reside in california and I am like no, never been outside of NJ and i think that someone else wrote the check. I told him that I think there is a mistake and I dont have $168 to western union a strange company in the middle of the night for a check i am not even sure that i wrote. He tells me to call back tomorrow at 9am and hangs up...he seemed uncomfortable with my persistence.
ANyway, the whole thing rubbed me the wrong way so I did a little research online. All I can say is thank God I did that because I was really worried after the conversation. I think that what they are doing is illegal and someone needs to take action against them. I cant wait to call them and make them explain themselves!
