Americredit ripoff harassing for a debt owed by someone else Texas
Our family is being harrassed by phone collectors regarding late payment on a Chevrolet. Not only don't we own a chevrolet, we have never owned one. Don't have a car payment(we pay cash); and have no late payments to anyone. I did not even know who Americredit was until I looked them up on the internet.
The Americredit collectors are very rude, and continue to call frequently despite 2 calls and an e-mail to customer service to inform them of their error. Unfortunately, these thugs are so pathetically unintelligent that they can't seem to understand that they aren't even calling the city they say the debtor (who apparently has the same name as my husband) lives in.
They have even tried to get me to give them my husband's SS# to "prove" they are calling the wrong person. They have made it very clear that they have no intention of leaving us alone, and even said it is my fault thay are calling. because I have a "rude tone of voice" when they call.
I have reported them to the FTC, am keeping a phone log of calls. The main concern I have is that they may be doing this to elderly or disadvantaged people who may pay them unowed money out of fear.

Some Advice To Stop Harrassing Calls
#2Consumer Comment
Thu, November 06, 2003
The next time this company calls, ask the rep. for their business address and send them a Cease & Desist letter telling them that they are contacting the wrong person and to never contact you again. Send the letter CRRR (certified, return-receipt requested). If they contact you again after that, you may have recourse for legal action against them under the Fair Debt Collections Practices Act. Also, the FTC is less likely to do anything about your complaint. They tend to act on companies that have a large number of complaints. Instead, contact your state's Attorney General in writing and the Attorney General for the state where Americredit is located. That should help put a stop to it.
