This is a company calling them data check of America. I believe they by old debt for pennies on the dollar and try to collect. They wanted me to pay for two checks from over 12years ago that I reported stolen to my bank. I had identity theft and checks stolen done on me by an old girlfriend which I ended up filing bankruptcy on. This company gives you addresses that are at mailbox places not an actual buisness location. I believe they are scammers. I asked if they had my address and they told me my parents. I told them that they only had 5 buisness days to send me a letter by US mail from first contact. They said they mailed out something that day. They have been harassing me for prob close to two months. They call from different numbers from all different states trying to get ahold of you.

Have been getting multiple calls from this number and 678 866 3640. No one answers when I pick up the call nor do they leave a message when I ignore the call.

Can anyone tell me what I should be doing to make it stop or do I just ignore/block them?

They are just scammers trying to collect on small amounts that you may or may not actually owe. They have called me as well but I called my bank to see of there was anything bounced or returned and was told no. They harrass the hell out of you and I would advise just blocking the numbers each time they call. They use probably 5 or 6 different numbers though.

Data Check of America is technically and legally out of business.  they are alias for 2 other names all leading back to one particular criminal debt collector.  This is along report because this is a particularly nasty DC.

No license for Data Check of Nevada which means they cannot legally collect debts in that state, or even operate as a debt collector.

Looks like there was a government action against some firms at the address for Aargon:  https://www.ftc.gov/sites/default/files/docum ... eymakercmpt.pdf

Federal law (FDCPA) requires them to send you a letter (US MAIL ONLY) within 5 days of their first contact that contains their name, physical address, the creditor’s name, and the amount of the alleged debt.  It also must contains “mini-Miranda” telling you that it is an attempt to collect a debt and that all information will be used for those purposes.  The one other important thing that this letter must also have in it is that you have a right to dispute the debt within 30 days of receipt of the letter and if you do so, all collection activity must be stopped until the debt is verified.
Read up on your rights here, get template letters to send and also make a complaint at this government site: http://www.consumerfinance.gov/

Also file a complaint with your State Attorney General's office.
List of State AG’s offices:  http://consumerfraudreporting.org/stateattorneygenerallist.php
As well as the Georgia AG:     http://law.ga.gov/

Also file a complaint with Nevada Business and industry, here is the form:  http://business.nv.gov/uploadedFiles/business ... rm%208-2015.pdf

I've older notes on Aargon Collection Agency / ACA  in Vegas making it a/k/a Bourassa Law Group and Total Credit Recovery.

Yes, using the information I have provided as well as where to report them you need to do this.  Send them a certified, return receipt cease and desist calling letter.  Make sure you report them to the proper agencies to which I have provided links.  You also should consider suing them for FDCPA violations and any other violations your attorney could think up.
