(800) 440-6613

ARS has been calling me twice a day until I spoke with them. They were looking for someone else with my name. Once I told them I wasn't the person they were looking for, they said they would update their files...  We shall see if they do and stop calling me.

Calling someone I don't even know!

They called and left a message on my VM. The person was polite but did not mention the company. I plugged in the number she left to do a search and got to this page. I know what this is about but I've been over it a ***dred times with the original creditor and I'm not doing it a***n. They can't get blood from a stone. No job, losing my house, lost my car (which is the reason for this call I'm sure). Sue me all you want, threaten me all you want. Nothing I can do about it so I'm not going to lose any sleep over it. Keep talking to the VM because I'm done with this.

The company is called ARS. The people who work from this number are rude, unprofessional, nasty and abusive. If you get a call from them you MUST file a report to the FTC as a collection complaint because ARS is usually in violation of consumer rights under the FCRA. The more complaints the Feds get from this company, the sooner they will take notice. I paid my debt off to another company called Alliance Management and have proof via bank statements, but apparently it was passed on to ARS and now I can’t even tell ARS my side of the story without getting yelled at by them.

They called a couple of days ago sounding like an attorney and saying that they had important paperwork they needed to discuss with us.  Since we do not have the paperwork that they wish to discuss in hand we have chosen not to call them back. The people on the VM sounded nice, however when dealing with these people they have someone call and you never actually get to talk to that nice person a***n.

They are****ociated Recovery Systems.  I found this when I googled them: "A statewide class action has been filed in California a***nst collection specialist, ARS National Services, Inc., who operate as****ociated Recovery. The action is brought on behalf of all California residents who received a collection letter from****ociated which offered to settle the debt for a lesser amount, if payment was made immediately. The action is brought under the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and seeks statutory damages as well as *****ctive and declaratory relief.This action arises from the alleged policy of****ociated in which they include in their collection letters an offer to settle the outstanding debt for a reduced rate. The settlement offer is, according to the letters, a limited offer, requiring immediate payment. According to consumers, this offer is misleading and deceptive because****ociated is allegedly always prepared to negotiate a settlement for a lesser amount. Thus, the language requiring immediate action is allegedly deceptive to consumers because they are given the impression that they need to act immediately in order to have an opportunity to discharge the debt at a reduced rate. The consumers claim that this has a coercive effect, limiting their ability to challenge the validity of the debt and limiting their ability to make an informed decision about the debt. The consumers allege that these letters are standard “form” type letters, mailed to thousands of consumers and that, as a result, the class in this case is****entially quite numerous."

They called me from 443-701-4637 and asked of someone whos name I don't know.  I don't owe any debts (at least none in collections), so I don't know if it is just a wrong number but they call all the time and this is first time they left a message.  I bet I have received 15 calls from them in 2 months.

I received a call today from this number.  The return number was left on my answering ma****e.  It was intercepted by my privacy manager feature through my telephone company.  It instructed the caller to call back and leave a message.  He did.  He knew my last name, and asked for someone of whom I have never heard.  I hate it when these people call, and he was RUDE too.  Even on my answering ma****e.  I have a reference number and I really don't think they need a call back! grrrrr! The name he left was Mr Crawford.  Well, Mr Crawford, don't call back, and don't be rude on the phone.  You are just hassling people!  Get a real job!

ARS is a collection agency. They are rude, crude and totally full of shinola. give them false leads, fake numbers, etc. They deserve it. Only the lowest of collectors work for ARS. The should be known as the horses ****. Now let's pray for whirled peas.

This is a collection agency.  Unless you are prepared to pay don't call.
