ARA, Inc. Debt Collector Elmhurst Illinois
We are getting collection calls for a credit card (Discover)that my husband supposedly opened on June 17, 2001. They are threatening to lock up our bank accounts to collect the money. He has not had a Discover card since 1991 which was a part of his bankruptcy. I ran a credit check on him today and there is no Discover card listed. There are 2 companies that ran credit checks recently that we don't know and should not have been run (8/17/17 & 8/20/17). The calls are from different numbers here's the list with date and time according to the caller ID on 609-300-2304

All phone numbers were checked with whitepages.com and come back as scam or fraud or suspected spam. The call back number that was given to me is 888-686-9475 ext. 3082. The phone is answered "ARA how may I direct your call?". We have not sent them any money.

Make sure you notify the collector that the debt was included in a Bk

It sounds like zombie debt that may or may not even exist. Certainly it was discharged in your husbands Bk if there was a balance. If they contact you again, make sure you mention that and keep records. If they continue to harass you, you can sue them for trying to collect on a discharged debt. That should get them off your back. Some of these collection agencies just go too far....Also report them to the CFPB and the FTC.
