Tell us has your experience with this business or person been good? What's this?
We are writing to complain about the illegal practices of Asset Acceptance Corp. LLC. This organization has purposely and maliciously ruined our credit rating with all the major Credit Bureaus specifically, Equifax, Experian and TransUnion by reporting "bogus", "outdated", "expired" and "false" debt information. They have taken us to "small claims court" only to be told by the presiding judge that they "cannot" collect, yet they persist in their efforts to ruin our credit rating, making harrasing phone calls to my wife's employer demanding to speak with her supervisor (a blatantly illegal practice) and had the "county sheriff" serve her court papers while at her place of employment, causing embarrasment and permanent damage to my wife's reputation.

Asset Acceptance LLC is a "Fraudulent Organization". They specialize in collecting "Zombie Debts". Debts who's "Statute Of Limitations" have long expired. They "Prey" on the poor, the elderly, and especially minorities like blacks and hispanics. They engage in "Flagrant Violations Of Federal Law". Asset Acceptance LLC buys "charged-off" credit card accounts from the original lenders for pennies on the dollar. Then, they use credit scoring and other new technologies to identify which debtors are most likely to pay. In 2002 Asset Acceptance LLC bought $101 million dollars in "old (expired) debt", collecting 5.2 billion dollars from unsuspecting americans. Asset Acceptance LLC believes that "squeezing" even a small payment from these persons can make "illegal"collection activities worthwhile. Asset Acceptance Corp. LLC will go to any lengths to harass people and defraud them. Suing and/or threatening to sue over debts even though the statute of limitations has long expired. Illegally re-aging debts on credit reports. They tell credit bureaus that an old debt is, in fact, a new one. Their goal is to extend the seven-year ative items and put more pressure on the consumer. They lie about the date the debt went delinquent. Asset Acceptance LLC is in "flagrant" violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. We ask that severe sanctions be imposed against Accept Acceptance Corp. LLC.

I had a truck stolen in October of 1996. The Insurance company paid the bank. After they went back and forth for years over the amount, the bank gave up. Then years later a collection agency picked up the account. I had to get a lawyer to stop them from harassing me. Now they keep messing with my credit reports adding that I owe them more money each month. This is illegal, that can not collect extra money. Also it has been 10 years and no legal action by the bank or nor the collection agency has been taken, they just mess with my credit. They keep changing the contact date on my credit report. This Collection Agency is ASSET ACCEPTANCE LLC.

Carlos, You are entitled to damages from illegal debt collection. Go to FTC.gov and read and print out the FDCPA and the FCRA to see the violations. Contact the NACA for a lawyer who specializes in this sort of thing. Here is the info on Asset Acceptance: Agency Details Asset Acceptance Corp.***** 28405 Van d**e Avenue Warren, Michigan 48092 Phone: (586) 446-7818 Fax: (586) 846-7837 Web Address: assetacceptance.com (Branch offices in Baltimore, San Antonio, Cleveland, & Brandon, FL.) 2840 S.

ONE OF AMERICA'S WORST COLLECTION AGENCIES! ********** FORMER ASSET EMPLOYEES********** We Need Your Help! Please Email Us Here or Call our Office ********** CONSUMER NOTICE********** ARE YOU A VICTIM OF ASSET ACCEPTANCE CORP? HAVE YOU BEEN SUED BY THEM? WAS A JUDGMENT OBTAINED? ARE YOUR WAGES BEING GARNISHED, BANK ACCOUNT LEVIED? IF SO, PLEASE GET IN CONTACT WITH ME. ************************************* Asset Acceptance Corp.(AAC) is now a publicly traded company. (Nasdaq: AACC) They purchases old portfolio's of mostly worthless charged-off accounts for pennies on the dollar. Once owned, they inflate the value of the portfolio, send out dunning notices and try to collect at a ridiculous profit. Don't be surprised if you notice the date of last activity on your credit report, as stated by AAC is WRONG! Deliberately changing the date of last activity is a way to scam consumers into thinking they are entitled to money they would not legally be allowed to collect. This is standard procedure for them -- from "re-aging" the debt on the credit history, to suing on what is probably a statute of limitations claim, to reneging on a written promise. These liars, thieves and snake-oil salesmen are trying ALL the con's known, to grease their pockets with your money. Watch out too for the mystery $50-$75 payment that is claimed to have been revived on the account. When pressed, they claim to do an investigation and "discover" that they made a "clerical error" and mistakenly posted someone else's payment to your account. (LIARS!) NOTHING this 'House of Cons' does should be believed or taken at face value. They have proven over and over they are liars and thieves! Under federal law, the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) an account may ONLY stay on a credit report for seven years. One of the cons being used by Asset Acceptance is to claim you made a $50 payment, which would have re-started that clock. Unfortunately this is a 'bogus-claim' by AAC, is illegal and violates your rights. Asset Acceptance Corp has earned the distinction of one of "AMERICA'S WORST COLLECTION AGENCY'S". They lie, steal, cheat, misrepresent, file bogus claims, create phony documents and commit perjury in the court system JUST to increase their bottom line.
