ASG Collection Agency ripoff A rude intimidating collection message was left on our family's answering machine Amhearst New York

This company left a rude collection message on our answering machine. I returned the call to find out that my husband had the same name as their collection account. When they asked me to verify his birthdate they said they had called in error.

When I tried to find out who the company was and how they obtained our number the associate got very rude and defensive, attacking me. I did not know who I had just given my husband's info to or why and she wouldn't tell me. She just continued to try to intimidate me.

I finally asked to speak to her superior and he was just as condescending. I was able to get a name and address of a company from him.

I have many attorney friends and plan to let them listen to the message on my machine to see if there were any harassment laws broken.

It's one thing to get a rude collection call when you have accounts past due. In our case, we got a rude collection call because my husband just happened to have the same name as someone else. Is it just me or is something not kosher about this?
