Associated Recovery Systems, Kathy Howerton - President, Maria - Associate Constant Telephone Harassment looking for Amy Gutierrez Escondido California
These people from ARS has been calling my number every week for a couple of months for a lady named Amy Gutierrez. I have no idea as who this person is and told ASR this every single time plus stop calling me because they are quite rude. Again, I just got a call from ARS associate named Maria who would not give her last name and hung up on me when I tried to find out what the hack is ARS and who is Amy Gutierrez. Luckly I got their number and called ARS over 5 times (888-319-0986) before making them to remove my phone number from their list. However, now I'm worried because they already had a full information about me: my name, addresss, and phone number. More disturbing is to find out that this collection agency has bad reputation with BBB and many more complaints in this site.
