(866) 399-2727

I received a call today from "Tate" with ACS. I see many of you have spoken with a female named Tate, however this sounded like a African American man. He asked for my date of birth, social security number, and address, which were to "confirm" who I was. He accused me of not repaying a payday loan, threatened to take me to court, but also told me I could settle for $400. Refused to give me his company address or any other info. Later that afternoon he called back and left the # of 866-599-5698. I called it, as well as the 866-399-2727 number you guys left on here and it is the same recording. After a recording, guess who answered?? My buddy Tate the male, I asked for either a fax or mailing address so that I could send them, in writing, a letter advising them to stop calling. He refused and kept asking who I was. Apparently "Tate" is the name all this yahoo's use, both male and female. If anyone knows their address, please post.

Date:  5/31/11Time:  8:30 am PSTA woman called my sister and left a voicemail saying that she is Ashley Tate claiming to be an independent process server. Told my sister that I wrote a bad check in July 2008 to an internet payday loan place and I should call them because they have been trying to get a hold of me.  She left the phone number 866-399-2727.  That I should call immediately so she doesn't have to come to me to summon me to appear in court.  In less than five minutes she called my cell phone from an Unknown number saying the same thing.

Got a call from this number today, their number came up "unknown". Women was speaking quickly and said that she was in the process of serving me with legal do***ents. She then said I needed to call (866)352-3625 and gave me a case number. She then tried to verify my birth date etc., though I told her I would not be verifing anything with her over the phone since she refused to give me any of her information. She then told me to call the number and that she was on her way to serve me. Such a joke! Once I googled the phone number I see that it is for ACS group which appears to be a scam. Does anyone know where I can report this?

Hi Bonnie.thanks for your post. a few minutes ago, i also received a call from ashley tate. she said she was calling for my sister and that they could not get a hold of her and my name and number was found as a reference on an application (didn't state which one) she proceeded to tell me that "i need" to tell my sister immediately to call 866-399-2727 because of a bad check she wrote and that they are trying to serve her. i then called my sister and when she called the number another person answered and told her she wrote a bad check in july 2010 and it needs to be paid or she will be served. they also asked if she wants to be served at her work or at home. how ****** could these people be? NOTE: they refuse to give the name of their company because they represent another company. they were so willing to give me all of my sister's information; yet when my sister called (whom they were looking for) they will not give her any information. she just gave a case number.BOGUS calls; thank you for reporting this. I guess they are calling people from all over the US because were from CA.

i too am getting the calls, they called my brother said they were sending someone to serve me and left threatening message on ma****e. i called back talked to someone and said was a litagation firm . asked if collections and they said no they can leave those types of messages. the name of company is acs group they will not tell you where they are located and say that dont have a physical address to give. they called back gave me another message saying matter was turned over to process server but they could stop if i called back. not sure what the deal is with this company but its aggravating

me to same thing what is wrong with these people calling and harrasing us i know nothing of this nor have any reason to have such problems. I also called back and no human person just a voice mail such bull

Just remember this: you cannot be served a warrant over the phone.

I received the same message today from a woman named Ashley Tate. She said she is going to serve papers today by 5:00 pm to appear in court for a bad check charge from an online payday loan. I received a call from a friend of mine a bit later saying she received the same call regarding me from the same woman. This woman left a detailed message with an employee of this friend. My friends PCA said she informed this Asley Tate that my friend was not there and she was her personal care attendant (my friend is sick).  Ms. Tate preceeded to tell the PCA that she was calling because she had to serve me papers for a bad check. She gave her a case number too. How dare she give out personal information about me to a stranger!  I called the MN Atty General's office and was told there is a scam going on. They are sending out the paperwork.No company name was left, just a toll free number, the person's name of who I should contact and a case number. I called the toll free number and a recording said it was the ACS group.

We received a call today stating that my husband was going to be served papers for fraudulent check writing when he doesn't even write checks. They even ask if he wanted to be served at work or at home?(If this wasn't a scam they wouldn't give you a choice where you want to be served) They gave me a case# and I tried calling the number back and tried to talk with a rep. and a voicemail came on.
